Suositellusta

Suositellusta is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb suositella, meaning to recommend. It is the past passive participle suositeltu inflected to an elative singular form, and it functions as an adjective in a noun phrase. In practice, suositellusta is used when the modified noun is in the elative case, often conveying “from the recommended …” or more generally describing something that has been recommended.

In usage, suositellusta typically accompanies a noun in a dependent phrase and agrees with that noun in case. For example, in phrases like suositellusta kirjasta or suositellusta tuotteesta, the adjective agrees with the elative form of the noun kirjasta (from the book) or tuotteesta (from the product). The sense conveyed is that the described item has been recommended, often by guidelines, authorities, or consumer guidance.

Etymology and relation to other forms: suositellusta comes from suositella, “to recommend,” via the past passive participle suositeltu. Other related forms include suositus (recommendation) as a noun, and suositeltu or suositeltava as adjectives describing something that is recommended or worth recommending. Suositeltu is the base form used when the noun is in nominative or other non-elative cases, while suositellusta specifically marks the elative context.
