Minibaarista

Minibaarista is a Finnish word that functions as the elative case form of the noun minibaari, meaning “from the minibar.” The base noun minibaari is a compound of mini- and baari (bar) and is borrowed from English mini-bar. In Finnish, minibaarista is used to indicate the source or origin of something, specifically that it comes from the minibar.

The suffix -sta (or -stä after consonants) marks the elative case, which is used to express movement or origin from a place or source.

In practical terms, the word appears mainly in hotel, hospitality, or travel contexts.

Usage examples are straightforward: Otin lasin minibaarista. (I took a glass from the minibar.) Asiakas ilmoitti, että juoma oli tullut minibaarista. (The guest reported that the drink came from the minibar.) These examples illustrate how minibaarista specifies the location from which items are obtained or referenced.

In summary, minibaarista is a standard Finnish grammatical form used to express origin from the minibar, reflecting Finnish noun inflection and the linguistic adaptation of the minibar concept in hospitality language. See also minibaari for the base noun and the elative case in Finnish grammar.
