aromaattisesta

aromaattisesta is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective aromaattinen, meaning aromatic. It is used to describe something that has an aroma or is related to aroma, and it appears in the elative singular when modifying a noun. In practical terms, aromaattisesta signals “from the aromatic source” or “of the aromatic kind” within phrases.

In Finnish grammar, adjectives agree with the nouns they describe in number and case. The elative singular ending for adjectives is -sta/-stä, so aromaattinen modifies to aromaattisesta when used with a singular noun in the elative case. Examples include aromaattisesta mausteesta (from the aromatic spice) or aromaattisesta kahvista (from the aromatic coffee). These phrases show how the form functions within a larger noun phrase in contexts such as descriptions, sources, or origins of aromas.

Etymologically, aromaattinen is formed from the noun aromaatti (aroma) plus the common adjective suffix -inen. The elative form aromaattisesta shares the same root and is one of several inflected variants used to align with different cases of the nouns they modify.

Usage considerations include that aromaattisesta is primarily a descriptive, grammatically specialized form. In everyday language, speakers often use aromaattinen with nouns in nominative or other common cases (aromaattinen tuoksu, aromaattinen kahvi) rather than relying on the elative form. In scientific or culinary writing, the elative may appear when referring to aroma sources or origins.
