Pelloilta

Pelloilta is a Finnish word that functions as the elative plural form of pelto, meaning "from the fields." It is used to indicate origin or source when referring to multiple fields.

In Finnish, pelto denotes a field or cultivated land. When speaking about several fields, the plural pellot is used, and attaching the elative suffix -lta/-ltä yields pelloilta, which translates to "from the fields." This form is part of the standard Finnish case system and is commonly found in prose as well as in poetry and agricultural discourse.

Usage and examples:

- Pelloilta kerätään satoa joka syksy. (Harvest is gathered from the fields every autumn.)

- Pelloilta nouseva tuoksu kertoo tilan elinvoimasta. (The scent rising from the fields tells of the farm’s vitality.)

Notes:

- pelloilta is typically used with plural nouns (pellot) in reference to multiple fields. The surrounding sentence usually provides the context for the source or direction conveyed by the elative form.

- The elative case, in general, expresses movement away from something or origin, and pelloilta is one of its plural manifestations in Finnish grammar.
