kokoukselta

Kokoukselta is a Finnish word that roughly translates to "from the meeting" or "after the meeting." It is a common locative case form of the noun "kokous," which means "meeting" or "assembly." The suffix "-lta" indicates origin or departure from a place or event.

This phrase is often used in everyday conversation to indicate that someone has just left a meeting, is currently at a meeting, or is reporting on something that happened during a meeting. For example, someone might say "Olen kokoukselta" meaning "I am coming from the meeting," or "Sain tiedon kokoukselta" which means "I received the information from the meeting." The context of the conversation typically clarifies the exact meaning.

The use of "-lta" in this instance is a grammatical feature of the Finnish language, which employs case endings to convey grammatical relationships that in English might be expressed by prepositions. Therefore, "kokoukselta" succinctly conveys a complex spatial or temporal relationship to the event of a meeting. It is a practical and frequently encountered expression in Finnish discourse related to work, organizations, or any gathering where decisions are made or information is exchanged.
