Käskyltä

Käskyltä is a Finnish word that translates to "from the order" or "by order." It is a genitive case of the word "käsky," meaning "order" or "command." The suffix "-ltä" indicates origin or source, similar to prepositions like "from" or "out of" in English.

The term käskyltä can be used in various contexts. In a military setting, it might refer to an action taken because it was ordered by a superior officer. For example, "Tehtävä suoritettiin käskyltä" would mean "The task was carried out by order." In a more general sense, it can describe any action that is a direct result of a directive or instruction. This could apply to work environments, family situations, or any scenario where instructions are given and followed.

The phrase emphasizes that the action was not spontaneous or self-initiated but rather a consequence of external instruction. It highlights obedience and the chain of command or authority. The specific nuance of käskyltä is that the impetus for the action comes directly from a command. It distinguishes itself from actions taken voluntarily or due to personal initiative.
