Hyytymiltä

Hyytymiltä is a Finnish word form that functions as the elative plural of the noun hyytymät, which means clots or coagulations. In Finnish grammar, the elative case expresses source or origin, translated as “from” in English. Therefore hyytymiltä literally means “from clots.” The form is primarily a product of standard inflection rather than a standalone lexical entry.

The base noun is hyytymä (or hyytymä, plural hyytymät), referring to a coagulated mass such as a blood clot. The elative plural suffix -iltä attaches to the plural stem to yield hyytymiltä. This kind of inflection is typical for plural nouns ending in -t when indicating source from multiple items.

Usage and context typicality: hyytymiltä appears mainly in specialized medical, forensic, or biological texts where researchers describe material, samples, or data derived from clots. It is not commonly used in everyday speech, and its appearance signals a technical or scientific discussion of clots as a source of material or information. Example constructions include statements about samples “peräisin hyytymiltä” (originating from clots) or descriptions of analyses conducted on material obtained from hyytymiltä.

Related forms: hyytymä (singular), hyytymät (plural). The elative singular would be hyytymästä, while the elative plural is hyytymiltä. Understanding this form helps in accurately interpreting written Finnish in scientific contexts, where precise source attribution is required.
