Ohjatusta

Ohjatusta is a Finnish word that functions as a grammatical form rather than a widely used standalone lexical item. It is the elative singular form of the past participle ohjattu, which comes from the verb ohjata meaning to guide or direct. As a participle, ohjattu means “guided” or “steered,” and ohjatusta can be understood as “from the guided” or “of the guided” in contexts that require indicating origin or source.

In Finnish grammar, the elative case (ending in -sta/-stä) is used to express movement from or origin. Therefore ohjatusta appears inside noun phrases to specify the source of something that is guided or directed. For example, phrases such as ohjatusta opastuksesta or ohjatusta kurssista would translate loosely as “from the guided instruction” or “from the guided course.” The form is mainly encountered in formal or technical writing or in grammatical discussion, rather than as a common everyday noun.

The base forms related to this word include ohjata (to guide/direct) and ohjattu (guided). The standard noun for the concept of guidance is ohjaus; ohjatusta is a inflected participial form rather than a separate lexical concept.

Etymology: derived from ohjata + the past passive participle suffix -ttu, with the elative case ending -sta/-stä.
