Radikaaleilta

Radikaaleilta is a Finnish grammatical form that functions as the elative plural of the adjective-noun radikaali, meaning radical. In practice, radikaaleilta translates roughly as “from the radicals” or “from radical actors,” and it is used to indicate origin or source from multiple radical entities. The form is commonly found in written Finnish, particularly in political, historical, or analytical contexts.

Morphology and meaning: The base word radikaali means radical or extreme. In plural nominative, it becomes radikaalit (the radicals). The elative plural, radikaaleilta, expresses “from the radicals” and is typically combined with a following noun in a sentence to specify what is being described as originating from those sources. The exact construction often depends on what noun the phrase modifies (for example, radikaaleilta ryhmiltä, radikaaleilta tahoilta).

Usage: Radikaaleilta is most often encountered in formal or journalistic Finnish when discussing information, statements, or actions that are attributed to radical groups or individuals. It is rarely used in isolation; its meaning becomes clear when paired with a noun indicating the source, such as ryhmiltä (groups), tahoilta (entities), tai lähteiltä (sources). Examples include radikaaleilta ryhmiltä tulleet lausunnot or radikaaleilta tahoilta peräisin olevat tiedot.

Notes: The term does not denote a distinct organization or concept; rather, it is a grammatical form. Its interpretation depends on context and accompanying nouns. In translations, radikaaleilta is commonly rendered as “from radical groups” or “from radical sources.”
