Jaksoilta

Jaksoilta is the elative plural form of the Finnish noun jakso, which can mean episode, period, or phase. In Finnish grammar, the elative case expresses origin or source, and the plural elative is used when the reference is to multiple episodes or periods. Therefore jaksoilta translates roughly to “from the episodes” or “from the periods,” depending on the surrounding context.

The form is primarily a written-language konstruktion and tends to appear in media analysis, academic writing, or descriptive text where data or phenomena are described as originating from a set of episodes or time periods. It is most often found in phrases that specify source material, such as a dataset or a narrative source collected from several episodes or phases.

Examples of usage include sentences like: Ohjelman jaksoilta kerätyt tiedot osoittavat katsojien kiinnostuksen painopisteet. Tämä tutkimus perustuu jaksoilta saaduihin havaintoihin. In everyday speech, speakers may prefer more general wording, and the explicit elative plural form jaksoilta is more typical in formal or written Finnish.

Relation to other forms: Jakso as a base noun has other case forms such as jakso (nominative), jaksoa (partitive), or jakson (genitive). Jaksoilta is specifically the plural elative form and is chosen to indicate origin from multiple episodes or periods.
