Huoltopalvelulta

Huoltopalvelulta is the elative form of the Finnish compound huoltopalvelu, which means maintenance service or service department responsible for repairs and upkeep. The elative case, marked by the suffix -lta/-ltä, expresses origin or source, so huoltopalvelulta translates roughly to “from the maintenance service.” This form is commonly used in technical, administrative, and customer-service contexts to indicate where information, instructions, or actions originate.

In use, huoltopalvelulta appears as an adverbial phrase referring to the source of a statement or action. For example, Sain ohjeet huoltopalvelulta means I received instructions from the maintenance service. Huoltopalvelulta tuli ilmoitus can be rendered as There was a notification from the maintenance service. The phrase is frequently found in service communications, warranty notes, and repair reports, where it helps specify the origin of information or decisions.

Morphologically, huoltopalvelulta is formed by combining the compound huoltopalvelu with the elative suffix -lta. It is a case form used to indicate that something comes from or is issued by the maintenance service, as opposed to other sources. Related forms (not shown here) would use other Finnish cases to indicate different relationships, such as ownership or destination.
