Sähköpostilta

Sähköpostilta is a Finnish word that translates to "from email" or "from the email". It is a prepositional phrase used to indicate the origin or source of something, specifically when that origin is an email message. For example, one might say "Sain tiedon sähköpostilta" which means "I received the information from the email". This phrase is commonly used in everyday Finnish conversation and writing when discussing communications received electronically. It serves a similar function to phrases like "via email" or "from an email" in English. The word "sähköposti" itself is a compound word, with "sähkö" meaning electricity or electric, and "posti" meaning mail. Thus, "sähköposti" literally translates to "electric mail", which is the direct equivalent of "email". The ending "-lta" is a partitive case ending in Finnish that, when used with prepositions, can denote origin or source. Therefore, "sähköpostilta" clearly conveys the idea of something originating from an electronic mail communication.
