Käynneistä

Käynneistä is a Finnish noun form that refers to visits or acts of visiting, commonly used when discussing multiple occasions of visiting a place. In Finnish grammar, käynti means an act of visiting or a visit, and käynneistä is the elative plural form meaning “from the visits” or “of the visits.” The elative case expresses origin or source, so käynneistä is used when describing information derived from several visits.

Grammatical notes: the base noun is käynti. Its basic plural is käynnit (nominative). In the case system, the elative plural form is käynneistä, while other related forms include singular elative käynnistä and plural genitive käyntien. Partitive forms are käyntiä (singular) and käyntejä (plural). The stem variation arises from the noun’s derivation and standard Finnish case endings.

Usage: käynneistä commonly appears in formal or statistical contexts, but can also be used in everyday language when summarizing findings from multiple visits. Examples:

- Käynneistä on kerätty palautetta. (Feedback has been collected from the visits.)

- Tutkimusraportti käsittelee käynneistä saadut havainnot. (The research report discusses the observations from the visits.)

Remarks: Although käynneistä is primarily a grammatical form, it is a natural part of Finnish written and spoken language when referring to data or information originating in several visits. In contexts focusing on the concept of a single visit, other forms (such as käynti or käynnistä) are appropriate.
