Suihkusta

Suihkusta is a Finnish word that means “from the shower.” It is the elative case form of the noun suihku, which denotes a shower or shower head. In Finnish, the elative case marks origin or source, so suihkusta literally translates to “from the shower” and is commonly used when describing water or other material that comes from a shower, or when indicating the source of something related to a shower.

Usage examples are common in everyday language. For instance, Vesi valuu suihkusta means “Water is running from the shower,” and Suihkusta tippuu vettä can be rendered as “Water is dripping from the shower.” The form may also appear in descriptions of bathroom fixtures, cleaning tasks, or situations where the shower is identified as the source of a liquid.

Grammatical notes: Suihkusta is formed by adding the elative suffix -sta to the singular noun suihku. The elative plural would be suihkuista. This usage is regular for Finnish nouns and is widely understood in both spoken and written Finnish.

Etymology and language context: The base word suihku refers to a shower, and suihkusta demonstrates how Finnish uses case endings to express relationships such as origin or source without prepositions. It is a common element of everyday Finnish vocabulary and grammar.
