Pääsyiltä

Pääsyiltä is the elative plural form of the Finnish noun pääsy, meaning entry or access. The elative case expresses origin or source, so pääsyiltä translates roughly as “from the access points” or “from the entries.” The plural elative suffix -iltä signals multiple sources. The form is used when referring to several entry points or access channels, in contexts such as building security, event logistics, transportation planning, or data access.

Etymology and forms: Pääsyiltä is derived from the stem pääsy with the elative plural suffix -iltä. In Finnish, elative forms indicate origin, source, or direction away from something, and the -iltä ending marks the plural.

Usage: The term appears in formal or technical writing to specify origins or sources of access when multiple entry points exist. It is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form that locates access to several points or channels.

Examples:

- Pääsyiltä on merkitty erilliset kulkureitit. (Separate routes are marked from the access points.)

- Kiinteistön turvallisuussuunnitelma määrittelee, mitkä pääsyiltä ovat käytössä hätätilanteessa. (The security plan specifies which access points are in use during emergencies.)
