harrastuslikusta

Harrastuslikusta is not a standard Finnish word and does not appear in major dictionaries. When it is encountered, it is usually considered a nonstandard inflected form built from harrastus (hobby) with an imagined adjective stem harrastuslik-, plus the elative ending -sta. In that reading, harrastuslikusta would roughly mean “from the hobby-like [something],” and would appear inside a larger phrase such as harrastuslikusta toiminnasta, depending on context. However, such a construction is not idiomatic in contemporary, standard Finnish.

The form likely reflects either a dialectal variant, a typographical error, or a calque from another language rather than a recognized Finnish morpheme sequence. Because harrastuslikusta is not attested in reputable sources, its exact grammatical status remains uncertain. If you encounter it in a text, it is advisable to consult the surrounding language to determine intended meaning, and to favor clearer, standard expressions.

In standard Finnish, more common ways to express related ideas would be to use harrastuksesta to indicate “from a hobby,” or harrastukseen liittyvä to mean “related to a hobby.” If the intent is to describe something as hobby-related or recreational, terms such as harrastuksellinen or other phrasing that uses harrastus with established modifiers provide clearer, widely understood options.
