korkeimmasta

Korkeimmasta is a Finnish word form that functions as the elative singular of the superlative adjective korkein, meaning “highest” or “tallest.” It is used to express origin or movement from a location characterized as being at the top, and it appears with a noun in the elative case (ending in -sta or -stä).

In usage, korkeimmasta typically combines with a noun to form phrases such as “korkeimmasta [noun]” to indicate “from the highest [noun].” The construction is common in descriptive or narrative passages where the speaker notes attributes of a topmost position or setting. It can describe physical locations, levels, or figurative peaks.

Examples:

- Katselin kaupungin korkeimmasta tornista. (I looked from the city’s highest tower.)

- Korkeimmasta kerroksesta kuului meteliä. (There was noise coming from the highest floor.)

The form is a standard part of Finnish grammar and illustrates how adjectives in the language inflect for case and degree. It is most frequently encountered in written Finnish, travel or architectural descriptions, and any context that emphasizes movement from or origin at the top of a vertical space or hierarchical level.
