Ilmiantajalla

Ilmiantajalla is the adessive form of the Finnish noun ilmiantaja, which means whistleblower or informant. An ilmiantaja is a person who reports suspected illegal or unethical activity to authorities, often confidentially. The adessive ilmiantajalla is used to indicate instrument, location, or source in statements about the whistleblower or information provided by one. It can answer questions like “with whom?”, “by/through what?”, or “at what source?” in contexts where the whistleblower is involved.

In standard Finnish, the structure ilmiantajalla is common in legal, journalistic, and bureaucratic language to discuss aspects related to whistleblowers, including rights, protections, and information provenance. For example: Ilmiantajalla on oikeus pysyä nimettömänä. Ilmiantajalla olevan tiedon mukaan tutkinta etenee. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin ilmiantajalla olevan tiedon luotettavuutta.

Notes:

- The form is a grammatical case marker, not a separate concept; it denotes the whistleblower’s involvement, source, or the means by which information is conveyed.

- Common collocations involve rights and information associated with whistleblowers, as well as phrases describing information provided by or attributed to a whistleblower.
