kaksikerroksesta

Kaksikerroksesta is the elative form of the Finnish adjective kaksikerroksinen, meaning two-story or two-storey. The term is formed from the words kaksi (two) and kerros (story/floor) with the adjectival suffix -inen. In Finnish, adjectives decline to match the noun they describe, so kaksikerroksesta appears when the noun it modifies is in the elative case.

Usage and meaning

Kaksikerroksesta describes something derived from, originating in, or located at a two-story structure. It is commonly used in architectural, real estate, and descriptive contexts to specify that a building, part of a building, or something related comes from or pertains to a two-story form. The form can pair with different nouns in the elative, for example kaksikerroksesta talosta (from the two-story house) or kaksikerroksesta rakennuksesta (from the two-story building). The singular elative is kaksikerroksesta, while the corresponding plural form is kaksikerroksisista, used with plural nouns such as taloista or rakennuksista.

Examples

Kuvia otettiin kaksikerroksesta talosta. (Photos were taken from the two-storey house.)

Kaksikerroksesta rakennuksesta löytyi vanhoja piirustuksia. (Old drawings were found from the two-story building.)

Notes

Kaksikerroksesta is specifically the elative form; other cases require different endings (e.g., kaksikerroksinen talo in nominative, kaksikerroksisen talon in genitive). The term is neutral and primarily descriptive.
