Vioittumiselta

Vioittumiselta is a Finnish term that translates to "from damage" or "from harm." It is a grammatical case ending, specifically the elative case, used to indicate movement away from something or the state of being free from something. In Finnish grammar, the elative case is formed by adding the suffix -sta/-stä to the end of a noun. For example, the word 'talo' (house) in the elative case becomes 'talosta' (from the house).

The elative case is used in several contexts. It can denote physical movement away from a place, such as 'menin kaupungista' (I went from the city). It can also express a source or origin, like 'kirja on pöydältä' (the book is from the table). Furthermore, vioittumiselta can indicate removal or exemption from a condition or state. For instance, 'hän on vapaa syytteestä' means 'he is free from accusation.' Understanding the elative case, and thus the concept of vioittumiselta, is crucial for comprehending Finnish sentence structure and meaning, particularly when describing origins, separations, or abstentions. The specific vowel harmony in Finnish dictates whether the suffix -sta or -stä is used.
