koristeellisista

Koristeellisista is a Finnish adjective form meaning “of the decorative ones” or “from the decorative ones.” It is the elative plural form of the adjective koristeellinen, which translates as ornamental or decorative. The elative case in Finnish expresses origin or source, so koristeellisista is used when the noun it modifies is plural and the speaker refers to something coming from or derived from decorative items or motifs.

Etymology and grammar: The base word koristeellinen is formed from the noun koriste (ornament) with the suffix -ellinen, creating a descriptive adjective meaning decorated or ornamented. In plurals, adjectives of the -inen type take familiar inflection patterns, including koristeelliset (nominative plural), koristeellisten (genitive plural), koristeellisia (partitive plural), and koristeellisista (elative plural). This last form appears in phrases where the object or material is described as being from the decorative set.

Usage examples: Näyttely koostuu koristeellisista esineistä. (The exhibition consists of decorative objects.) Tutkimuksessa viitataan koristeellisista esineistä saatuihin vaikutteisiin. (The study refers to influences derived from decorative objects.) These forms are common in design, art history, and architectural writing when discussing motifs, styles, or materials that are ornamental in character.
