Katoksellisista

Katoksellisista is a Finnish grammatical form that does not denote a standalone concept or term, but is instead a case form of an adjective. It is the elative plural form of the adjective katoksellinen, which describes something that has a katos, shelter, or roof. In standard usage, katoksellinen would modify a noun such as rakennus (building) to describe a roofed or sheltered characteristic.

Etymology and morphology: katoksellinen is formed from the noun katos (shelter, canopy, roof-like structure) with the adjectival suffix -ellinen. The plural nominative form is katokselliset, and its inflected forms follow Finnish noun–adjective agreement patterns. The elative plural ending -ista signals origin or source and yields katoksellisista, used with a plural noun in the elative case, for example katoksellisista rakennuksista (from the roofed buildings). Other related forms include katoksellisten (genitive plural) and katoksellisia (partitive plural).

Usage: Because katoksellisista is a case form, its occurrence requires a corresponding plural noun in the sentence. It is most likely to appear in descriptive or architectural text when indicating movement or origin from roofed structures. Its usage is limited to contexts where the concept of a shelter or roof is relevant, and it is not a term with a separate, independent meaning beyond its grammatical role.

Example phrases:

- katokselliset rakennukset (roofed buildings)

- katoksellisista rakennuksista (from the roofed buildings)

- katoksellisten rakennusten (of the roofed buildings)
