Linkeistä

Linkeistä is a Finnish grammatical form that arises from the noun linkki, meaning a hyperlink or a link. Specifically, linkeistä is the elatiivi plural form, used to indicate origin or source from multiple links. In practice, it translates roughly to “from the links” or “out of the links” in English.

In Finnish, the elatiivi case answers questions such as where something comes from or what its source is. Linkeistä is common in online and scholarly writing when authors refer to information or sources that are accessible via several hyperlinks. The form is notably frequent in discussions about internet sources, citations, or references embedded in web content.

Usage tips:

- Use linkeistä when you want to indicate that information was obtained from multiple links. Example: Lisätietoja löytyy linkeistä. (More information can be found from the links.)

- It can accompany verbs of sourcing or discovering information, such as löytää (to find) or saada (to obtain). Example: Lähteet löytyvät linkeistä. (The sources are in the links.)

Etymology and scope:

- Linkki is a loanword from English, adopted into Finnish to describe a web hyperlink.

- Linkeistä, as a functional form, demonstrates Finnish’s flexible case system for indicating source material in digital contexts. While primarily used in contemporary online language, it appears in journalism, blogs, and academic writing that reference external web-based sources.
