elektroonilistelt

Elektroonilistelt is an Estonian word form derived from the adjective elektrooniline, meaning electronic. It represents the elative form used with plural nouns to indicate origin or source, roughly translating to “from electronic [sources].” The form is primarily found in formal or technical language, especially in contexts dealing with data, devices, or digital systems.

In usage, elektroonilistelt often modifies plural nouns in the elative case to specify that something comes from electronic means rather than from paper, physical media, or non-digital sources. Examples in natural Estonian include phrases such as “elektroonilistelt andmetelt pärinevad tulemused” (results derived from electronic data sources) or “elektroonilistelt seadmetelt kogutud andmed” (data collected from electronic devices). These constructions are common in scientific papers, technical reports, and data-driven discussions.

Etymology and morphology: the form is created by combining the stem elektrooniline with the elative suffix -lt, a pattern used in Estonian to indicate origin or source with plural nouns. While common in specific domains, elektroonilistelt is less frequent in everyday speech, where more general terms may be used.
