Myyjältä

Myyjältä is the elative singular form of the Finnish noun myyjä, meaning “the seller.” It is used to indicate source or origin, and is commonly translated into English as “from the seller” or “by the seller.” In Finnish, the elative case answers questions about where something comes from or who supplied it, and myyjältä expresses that a piece of information, an item, or a statement originates with the seller.

In everyday use, myyjältä appears in contexts such as product information, instructions, or assurances provided by a seller. For example: “Olen saanut ohjeet myyjältä” (I have received the instructions from the seller); “Tiedot ovat myyjältä” (The information is from the seller). The plural form is myyjiltä, used when referring to sources from multiple sellers.

The term is common in commerce, customer service, and documentation, where it is important to distinguish the seller as the source of information or a product. It is distinct from related forms that refer to other sources, such as the manufacturer or store itself, and from other cases that indicate location or possession.
