kokeneelta

Kokeneelta is a Finnish adjective form meaning "experienced." It is the elative singular form of the adjective kokene, used to describe someone or something that has substantial experience. The word is formed as a participial adjective, typically deriving from the verb kokea (to experience) or from related noun forms related to experience.

In Finnish, adjectives agree with the noun they modify in case, number, and person. When kokene is used to describe a noun in the elative case, it takes the elative ending, producing kokeneelta. This form is commonly found in contexts where the source or origin of information, advice, or skill is specified as coming from someone with experience. Kokeneelta is thus often used in professional, sports, or advisory discourse to attribute credibility or authority.

Usage examples include phrases such as kokeneelta ammattilaiselta (from an experienced professional), kokeneelta pelaajalta (from the experienced player), or kokeneelta johtajalta (from the experienced leader). These constructions emphasize the source's expertise rather than the mere existence of experience.
