Tutkimusalueelta

Tutkimusalueelta is the elatiivimuoto (elative case) of the Finnish noun tutkimusalue, meaning “research area” or “field of study.” In Finnish grammar, the elatiivi marks origin or source, so tutkimusalueelta translates roughly as “from the research area” or “from the field of study.” The expression is commonly used in academic and scientific writing to indicate where information, data, or findings originate.

The form is used to describe the source of material or results, often in combination with other nouns: aineisto tutkimusalueelta, tulokset tutkimusalueelta peräisin, or tutkimusalueelta kerätty data. It can function as a noun phrase within a sentence and answers questions such as “Mistä?” (From where?).

Morphology and usage notes: The base word is tutkimusalue (research area). The elative suffix -elta/-ltä forms tutkimusalueelta, indicating origin or source. The elative is one of the Finnish locative cases. In possessive contexts you may encounter forms like tutkimusalueeltaan (from their research area) or similar constructions depending on subject and agreement.

Examples:

- Aineisto on hankittu tutkimusalueelta.

- Tutkimusalueelta peräisin olevat tulokset osoittavat yhteyksiä.

- Tutkimusalueeltaan saatuja kokemuksia hyödynnettiin.
