Vaarallisilta

Vaarallisilta is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective vaarallinen, which means dangerous. It is not a standalone concept but a surface form used within noun phrases to indicate origin or source from dangerous entities, typically in the elative case and for plural nouns. In practice, vaarallisilta appears before a plural noun that is in the elative case, conveying meanings such as “from dangerous places” or “from dangerous parties.”

In everyday Finnish, speakers more commonly rely on the base adjective plus an appropriately inflected noun, for example describing a danger source with phrases like “paikoista, jotka ovat vaarallisia” or using the genitive/plural forms of the noun with a separate descriptor. The form vaarallisilta therefore functions mainly as a grammatical variant rather than as an independent lexical item.

Usage notes and examples:

- vaarallisilta paikoilta: from dangerous places

- vaarallisilta tahoilta: from dangerous parties

- vaarallisilta alueilta: from dangerous regions

Contextual usage tends to be descriptive, such as in news reporting, safety assessments, or literary description, where the author wants to attribute origin to a plural set of dangerous entities. The form is part of Finnish case and agreement systems and illustrates how adjectives adapt to number and case when modifying plural nouns.
