Tuotosta

Tuotosta is the elative singular form of the Finnish noun tuotto, meaning yield, production, or return. In Finnish grammar, the elative case expresses origin or source, roughly translating to “from the production/yield” in English. The form tuotosta is used when referring to something that comes from or is derived from production.

Usage and context: Tuotosta is most commonly found in economic, statistical, and accounting texts, where the focus is on income, profits, or resources generated by production. It is related to, but distinct from, tuotto (yield or return) and tuotanto (production as a process). Because Finnish uses case endings rather than prepositions, tuotosta often appears in phrases such as “tuotosta kertynyt voitto” (profit accumulated from production) or “Energiantuotosta saatu tulo” (income obtained from energy production).

Examples:

- Tämän tilaston mukaan tuotosta kertyi merkittävä voitto.

- Energiantuotosta saatu tulo parantaa yrityksen kannattavuutta.

Pronunciation and morphology: tuotosta is pronounced roughly as [ˈtuotostɑ]. The elative singular is formed by adding -sta/-stä to the stem, yielding tuotosta. It is used with Finnish noun declension patterns and agrees with surrounding words in number and case.
