elintäimeltä

"elintäimeltä" is a Finnish word. It is the elative case of the word "eläin", which means "animal". The elative case in Finnish typically indicates movement away from something, origin, or removal from a state. Therefore, "elintäimeltä" can be translated as "from the animal", "away from the animal", or "by the animal" in certain contexts.

For example, "Sain viestin elintäimeltä" would translate to "I received a message from the animal". Another usage might be "Haava parani elintäimeltä" meaning "The wound healed away from the animal" or "The wound healed on its own after it was removed from the animal". The specific meaning depends heavily on the surrounding sentence structure and the verb used.

The word "eläin" itself refers to any living organism that is not a plant, fungus, or bacterium. This includes mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. The elative case is one of the many grammatical cases used in Finnish to express different grammatical relationships and meanings within a sentence, making the language highly inflected. Understanding the case system is crucial for comprehending Finnish grammar.
