The word is used in a variety of contexts, from everyday conversation to more formal writing. For example, one might say "Minulta hakemastani tiedosta" which means "about the information I was asked for."

The grammatical structure of "hakemastani" involves the past participle of the verb combined with a possessive suffix indicating "of me" or "my."
