kirjaamasta

Kirjaamasta is a Finnish verbal form that appears in written and formal language. It belongs to the family of -ma participles, which are derived from verbs related to recording, logging, or documenting. As a participial form, kirjaamasta does not carry an independent lexical meaning; instead it functions to express a grammatical connection, such as indicating the source, basis, or origin of information within a sentence.

In everyday Finnish, speakers more often use other constructions to convey similar ideas, such as the noun kirjaaminen (the act of recording) or phrases built with kirjaamisesta or related forms. Kirjaamasta tends to be encountered in more formal, bureaucratic, or technical texts, where precise connections between recorded data and conclusions are described in detail.

Usage notes and examples:

- Kirjaamasta saatujen tietojen mukaan päätös tehtiin. (The decision was made according to information obtained from the recording.)

- Kirjaamasta tapahtuneesta on laadittu selonteko. (A report has been prepared about what was recorded.)

The form is part of Finnish grammar rather than a standalone concept. It is helpful to recognize kirjaamasta as a tool for linking actions to their recorded sources within complex sentences.
