Taivutetusta

Taivutetusta is a Finnish grammatical form used in linguistic descriptions. It is the elative singular form of taivutettu, an adjective derived from the verb taivuttaa, which means to inflect or to conjugate in the sense of changing a word’s form to express grammatical categories.

In Finnish morphology, taivutettu functions as a participial adjective meaning “inflected” or “conjugated.” Taivutetusta, as a grammatical ending, marks that the referenced word is the source form from which other inflected forms have been derived. The elative case (ending in -sta/-stä) indicates movement away from or origin from something, so taivutetusta commonly appears in phrases like taivutetusta sanasta, meaning “from the inflected word.”

The term is primarily used in linguistic analysis, grammar descriptions, and language-learning materials. It helps speakers and learners discuss how a word has changed to take on different grammatical forms. While taivutetun or taivutetulla are other inflected forms of taivutettu, taivutetusta specifically represents the elative singular form used in descriptive contexts.

Overall, taivutetusta is a technical, descriptive locution rather than a standalone lexical item. It illustrates how Finnish uses participial adjectives and case endings to convey relationships between forms in morphological discussions.
