Määräämästä

Määräämästä is the elative plural form of the Finnish verb "määrätä". The verb "määrätä" generally means to decree, order, appoint, or determine. Therefore, "määräämästä" in its literal translation signifies "from decreeing", "from ordering", "from appointing", or "from determining". However, its usage is often more nuanced and depends heavily on the context in which it appears.

In Finnish grammar, the elative case (-stä) indicates movement from within or origin. When applied to a verb in this form, it suggests an action originating from the act of decreeing or ordering. For example, a phrase might describe something happening "määräämästä", meaning "from the act of the decree" or "stemming from the order". It can also imply a consequence or a consequence that arises as a result of something being decreed or appointed. The specific meaning will be elucidated by the surrounding words and the overall sentence structure. It is a grammatical form that is less commonly encountered in everyday speech compared to the infinitive or past tense forms of the verb.
