Taudilta

Taudilta is a Finnish word formed from tauti (disease) with the ablative suffix -lta, used to express origin, source, or exclusion. The form translates roughly as “from illness” and appears in contexts where disease is the source or cause of something, such as recovery, protection, or exposure to illness.

Etymology and form: Taudilta is the ablative case form of tauti. The suffix -lta(-ltä) is one of several Finnish endings that mark origin or starting point. In health and medical language, taudilta is commonly used to indicate movement away from or protection against illness, though everyday usage often also employs other case forms such as taudista depending on nuance.

Usage and examples: Taudilta is found in phrases that involve illness as the origin of a condition or action. Common collocations include taudilta toipuminen (recovery from illness) and taudilta suojautuminen (protection against illness). With possessive suffixes, the form becomes taudiltaan to indicate “from his/her illness” (for example, toipua taudiltaan).

Context and note: In Finnish, taudilta is a standard way to denote something arising from or against illness. Its exact nuance can vary with context, and speakers may choose alternative forms such as taudista in related expressions. For precise usage, consulting a Finnish grammar resource is recommended.
