Säilytyspaikalta

Säilytyspaikalta is the ablative form of the Finnish compound noun säilytyspaikka, and it literally means “from the storage place.” It is used to indicate the origin or starting point of movement or removal of an item in contexts such as logistics, inventory, archives, and safekeeping operations. In Finnish grammar, säilytyspaikka denotes a place where items are kept, and the ablative suffix -alta/-ältä signals origin or moving away from that location, yielding säilytyspaikalta. Other related forms include säilytyspaikka (nominative), säilytyspaikan (genitive), säilytyspaikalle (allative), and säilytyspaikassa (inessive).

Common uses include documenting that an item was taken from a particular location or that data were obtained from a specific storage area. Examples: “Tuote on otettu säilytyspaikalta” (The product has been taken from the storage place) and “Esine löytyi säilytyspaikalta” (The item was found from the storage place). It can also appear in archival or museum records to indicate provenance, for instance when cataloging items moved from storage to display or to a different department.

Etymology and construction: säilytys (storage, safekeeping) + paikka (place) form säilytyspaikka; the ablative suffix -alta/-ältä marks origin. The term is primarily a grammatical and logistical descriptor rather than a standalone concept, its meaning and emphasis determined by the surrounding verb and context.
