Protesteista

Protesteista is a Finnish word form used to refer to protests in the elative plural. It derives from the noun protesti, which means a public demonstration or expression of objection. The elative plural form protesteista is used when indicating origin, source, or topic in relation to more than one protest, similar to expressions like “from the protests” or “about the protests.”

In Finnish grammar, protesti is the base noun. Its plural nominative is protestit, and adding the elative suffix -sta/-stä to the plural form yields protesteista. This form can appear in sentences describing information tied to protests, such as events, coverage, or discussion. For example, one might say, “Uutisissa käsiteltiin protesteista eri näkökulmia,” meaning “The news discussed the protests from different angles,” or “Puhuimme protesteista kaupungin uutisten jälkeen,” meaning “We spoke about the protests after the city news.”

Usage notes:

- Protesteista commonly appears with verbs like puhua (to talk about), raportoida (to report on), sekä (to discuss) when referring to protests collectively.

- The term can be found in journalism, academic writing, and public discourse to denote the public demonstrations as a collective topic or as the source of information.
