kosketukselta

Kosketukselta is a Finnish noun form that literally means “from touch” or “by touch.” It represents the elative/ ablative form of kosketus (touch) used to indicate origin, source, or the mode of action. In Finnish, the suffix -lta/ltä marks source or means, and kosketukselta signals an origin related to touch or tactile contact.

In usage, kosketukselta tends to appear in technical or descriptive texts discussing tactile feedback, touch-based interfaces, or sensory perception. It describes phenomena or signals that originate in touch. Example phrases include kosketukselta saadut signaalit (signals obtained from touch) and kosketukselta tuleva palaute (feedback coming from touch). In everyday Finnish, more common expressions for similar ideas might be kosketuksesta (“from touch”) or kosketuksella (“by touch”), and kosketukselta is more specialized.

From a linguistic standpoint, kosketukselta illustrates Finnish case morphology: a noun stem kosketus with the ablative/elative suffix -lta.
