Operaattoreilta

Operaattoreilta is a Finnish noun form meaning “from the operators.” It is the elative plural form of operaattori, which refers to service providers or carriers, most commonly telecommunications operators such as mobile or broadband networks. The term is used to attribute information, statements, or data to those operators when the sources come from more than one provider.

In Finnish grammar, operaattoreilta expresses origin or source. The singular form is operaattorilta, while operaattoreilta indicates multiple operators as the source. This construction is typical in formal or analytical writing, including journalism, market analysis, regulatory reports, and consumer research, where information is presented as originating with the operators rather than an author.

Usage examples:

- Tietoja on saatu operaattoreilta, eikä kuluttajilta. (The information has been obtained from the operators, not from consumers.)

- Tutkimuksen tulokset peräisin operaattoreilta ja ne kuvaavat markkinoiden kehitystä. (The study results originate from the operators and describe the development of the market.)

Notes:

- Operaattoreilta is primarily used in written, formal Finnish and in discussions about data, statements, or evidence provided by multiple operators.

- The term is related to operaattori (operator) and contrasts with phrases indicating sources such as viranomaisilta (from authorities) or kuluttajilta (from consumers).
