Kemiallisista

Kemiallisista is the elative plural form of the Finnish adjective kemiallinen, meaning chemical. It is used when the adjective modifies a plural noun and expresses origin or source, as in phrases such as kemiallisista aineista or kemiallisista reaktioista, roughly translating to “from chemical substances” or “of chemicals.”

In Finnish, adjectives decline for number and case just like nouns. The elative plural ending is -ista, so kemiallisista corresponds to phrases involving “from chemicals” or “about chemicals” in plural contexts. The form appears most often in scientific, educational, and technical language, where materials, substances, or processes are discussed in relation to chemicals.

Usage notes and related forms: kemiallinen is the base form meaning “chemical.” The plural nominative is kemialliset, and the genitive plural is kemiallisten. The elative singular is kemiallisesta, while other case forms follow the standard Finnish adjective declension rules. Because kemiallisista is an inflected form, it carries no independent meaning outside a noun phrase; its role is to agree with the noun and indicate case and number.

Examples:

- kemiallisista aineista = from chemical substances

- kemiallisista reaktioista = from chemical reactions
