eteläisemmiltä

eteläisemmiltä is the elative plural form of the Finnish adjective eteläisempi, which means "more southern." The elative case in Finnish typically indicates movement from within a place or origin. Therefore, eteläisemmiltä literally translates to "from more southern (places)" or "from further south." This form would be used in a sentence to describe something or someone originating from or coming from regions that are more to the south. For instance, if discussing migration patterns or the origin of a particular type of flora or fauna, one might say that they come eteläisemmiltä, implying they originate from a more southerly location compared to a reference point. The word itself is comparative, indicating a greater degree of southernness than a previously mentioned or implied location. It functions grammatically as an adverbial phrase or as part of a predicative construction, always denoting an origin or source from a more southerly direction.
