Traficomilta

Traficomilta is a Finnish phrase used to indicate that information or statements originate from the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom). It is commonly encountered in journalism, official communications, and public documents as a source attribution.

The word is formed from Traficom plus the elative case suffix -lta, which conveys “from.” In practical use, Traficomilta can modify phrases such as “Traficomilta saatu tieto” (information received from Traficom) or “Traficomilta peräisin oleva data” (data originating from Traficom). It is distinct from phrases like “Traficomin mukaan” (according to Traficom), which conveys reported statements rather than raw sourced data.

Usage considerations emphasize accuracy: Traficomilta should be used only when Traficom is the actual source of the information or data. Misattributing statements to Traficom can mislead readers, so corroboration is advisable when the source is not clearly Traficom.

In summary, Traficomilta functions as a source- attribution form in Finnish, signaling that material comes from Traficom. It reflects standard linguistic practices for denoting origin and is particularly common in formal reporting and documentation involving the agency.
