Viljellyistä

Viljellyistä is a Finnish grammatical form used as an adjective meaning cultivated and is the elative plural form of the past passive participle viljelty. In practice, it appears in phrases where it describes origin or source, such as from cultivated plants, fields, or crops.

Morphologically, viljellyistä is formed from the base viljelty (cultivated) or its participle form viljellyt, with the elative plural suffix -istä. The elative plural marks movement from or origin in a plural sense, so viljellyistä agrees with a plural noun in the elative case, for example viljellyistä kasveista (from the cultivated plants) or viljellyistä pelloista (from the cultivated fields).

Usage and context-wise, viljellyistä is most common in agricultural, horticultural, or ecological writing. It serves to specify provenance or composition by referring to things that come from cultivation rather than wild or natural sources. It is typically found in descriptive or technical sentences, often alongside nouns that designate the object of cultivation or its products.

Examples of how it functions include phrases like viljellyistä kasveista peräisin oleva öljy (oil derived from cultivated plants) or viljellyistä elintarvikkeista koostuva valikoima (a selection composed of products from cultivated sources). The term is not usually used as a standalone noun; rather, it forms part of larger noun phrases that indicate origin.

Related terms in the same semantic field include viljely (cultivation), viljelijä (farmer), and viljelty (cultivated, participle). Viljellyistä is one of several inflected forms that allow specification of source in Finnish descriptive writing.
