kypsyneistä

Kypsyneistä is a Finnish grammatical form used to describe ripened or mature things, typically in agricultural, culinary, or horticultural contexts. It is the elative plural form associated with the past participle kypsyneet, from the verb kypsyä meaning to mature or ripen. In usage, kypsyneistä often accompanies nouns such as marjoista or hedelmistä to express “from the ripened/ripe [ones].” For example, kypsyneistä marjoista translates to “from the ripened berries.”

Etymology and morphology: The core idea comes from kypsyneet, the past participle of kypsyä. By adding the elative plural suffix -stä/-stä in combination with a plural noun, the form kypsyneistä emerges to indicate source or origin in phrases like kypsyneistä marjoista. This reflects Finnish noun-adjective agreement and case marking, where adjectives or participles take different endings to signal meaning such as source or starting point.

Usage: Kypsyneistä is most commonly found in written Finnish related to food, farming, or natural description, and can appear in recipes, harvest notes, market descriptions, or poetic prose. It does not function as an independent noun but as a morphological form of a participial adjective describing the origin of something that has ripened.

Examples:

- Kypsyneistä marjoista valmistettu hillo on makeaa. (Jam made from the ripened berries is sweet.)

- Hedelmäkorissa oli kypsyneistä omenista erotettavissa voimakas haju. (The fruit basket contained a strong scent from the ripened apples.)
