alueista

alueista is the plural elative form of the Finnish noun alue, meaning region or area. The elative case marks origin or source, and the plural suffix -ista/-istä indicates “from the regions” or “of the regions.” In usage, alueista signals that something comes from multiple regions rather than from a single area.

In practice, alueista appears in statistics, regional planning, journalism, and research when data, statements, or observations are tied to more than one region. Examples include: Tilastot on koottu alueista ympäri maata (The statistics were collected from the regions across the country). Eri alueista saadut vastaukset tukevat johtopäätöksiä (Responses from different regions support the conclusions). The form helps to emphasize geographic breadth and collective regional origin.

Related grammatical forms of alue include alueesta (singular elative), alueiden (genitive plural), alueet (nominative plural), and alueita (partitive plural). The word functions as a simple noun in compound expressions and can be combined with adjectives or numerals to describe regional scope, such as use of “monien alueiden” (many regions’).

Notes on usage: alueista is most natural when discussing aggregated information or actions sourced across multiple regions. For precise references, authors may contrast alueista with other case forms like alueista riippumatta or alueissa (in the regions). Overall, alueista is a common, neutral term in Finnish discourse dealing with regional breadth or origin.
