Myöhemmiltä

Myöhemmiltä is a Finnish word that functions as a grammatical case. It is the plural genitive form of the adjective "myöhempi," meaning "later" or "subsequent." Therefore, "myöhemmiltä" literally translates to "from the later ones" or "of the later ones."

In Finnish grammar, the genitive case typically indicates possession, origin, or relation. When used in the plural genitive, it refers to something belonging to or originating from multiple later entities or things. For instance, if one were discussing the outcomes or characteristics of later events, they might use "myöhemmiltä ajoilta" which translates to "from later times."

The word is formed by taking the stem of the adjective "myöhempi," which is "myöhempi-," and adding the plural genitive ending "-ltä." This is a standard declension pattern for many adjectives in Finnish. Understanding this case is crucial for comprehending the relationships between nouns and adjectives in a sentence, particularly when referring to a sequence or progression of events or items. It signifies a connection to something that comes after a previously mentioned point in time or order.
