Oikeutetuilta

Oikeutetuilta is the elative plural form of the Finnish noun/adjective oikeutettu, meaning entitled, justified, or authorized. In Finnish grammar, the elative case typically marks source or origin, so oikeutetuilta translates roughly as “from those who are entitled” or “from the entitled ones.” The form is most commonly encountered in formal, bureaucratic, or legal texts rather than in everyday speech.

In use, oikeutetuilta appears when indicating that information, opinions, or duties originate from a group that holds rights or privileges in a given context. It can refer to beneficiaries, licensees, participants with specific entitlements, or other identified groups within a policy or program. The construction helps specify source and authority in official communication.

Examples (translated):

- Oikeutetuilta pyydettiin lausuntoa asiasta. (A statement was requested from those who are entitled.)

- Oikeutetuilta peräisin olevia tietoja käytettiin päätöksen pohjana. (Information originating from the entitled ones was used as the basis for the decision.)

- Päätöksestä kerättiin kommentteja oikeutetuilta. (Comments from the entitled parties were collected.)

Notes: oikeutetuilta is a specialized grammatical form primarily found in formal contexts. Its everyday usage is limited, and speakers often opt for clearer or more direct expressions of source or entitlement.
