kielloista

Kielloista is the elative plural form of the Finnish noun kielto, meaning ban or prohibition. In Finnish, kielto refers to an official rule or prohibition. The elative plural kielloista is used to refer to multiple bans collectively or to discuss matters that originate from or relate to those prohibitions. The base noun kielto has plural kiellot; the elative plural kielloista is formed by adding the suffix -ista to that plural stem. This construction is common in legal, regulatory, and policy language, but can also appear in journalistic writing when summarizing several prohibitions.

Examples:

- Kielloista huolimatta tapahtuma pidettiin. (Despite the prohibitions, the event was held.)

- Raportissa käsitellään kielloista johtuvia vaikutuksia. (The report discusses effects arising from the prohibitions.)

- Keskustelussa viitattiin kielloista annettuihin ohjeisiin. (In the discussion, reference was made to the instructions issued about the prohibitions.)

Notes: Kielloista is not a standalone concept; it is a grammatical form. It is related to kielto (to forbid) and the verb kieltää (to forbid). In practice, kielloista appears mainly when discussing multiple prohibitions, their origins, or their consequences in legal, regulatory, or policy contexts.
