Vammoilta

Vammoilta is the elative plural form of the Finnish noun vamma, meaning “from injuries.” In Finnish grammar, the elative case expresses origin or source, and vammoilta is used when referring to injuries as the source of something, often in the plural sense or in general statements about injury-related situations. When the injuries belong to a specific person, the form can take a possessive suffix, producing vammoiltaan to mean “from his/her injuries.”

Usage in language and style

The form is common in medical, sports, and everyday contexts where recovery from injuries is discussed. It is especially frequent in constructions with verbs that denote recovery or change in condition. In standard sentences, vammoilta is paired with appropriate verb phrases to convey that someone is recovering from injuries.

Examples

- Hän toipui vammoiltaan nopeasti. (He recovered from his injuries quickly.)

- Potilas on toipumassa vammoiltaan. (The patient is recovering from his injuries.)

Notes

Vammoilta denotes origin from injuries rather than ownership of them, and the possessive suffix in vammoiltaan specifies whose injuries are being referred to. The term vamma on its own means an injury or disability, and vammoilta is its common grammatical form used in discourse about injury-related recovery or impact.
