laskettamattomasta

Laskettamattomasta is a Finnish inflected form that appears in contexts describing quantities or sets that cannot be counted. It is not commonly listed as a standalone dictionary entry; rather, it functions as an elative form of an adjective meaning “uncountable” or “not to be counted.” In practice, it occurs in phrases such as laskettamattomasta joukosta or laskettamattomasta määrästä, which can be rendered in English as “from the uncountable set” or “from the uncountable amount.”

In terms of morphology, laskettamattomasta is built from the stem related to laskettamaton (uncountable) with a case ending. The ending -sta marks the elative case in Finnish, indicating origin or source (from). Thus the form would typically modify a noun in contexts where that noun is itself in the elative or is part of a larger elative construction.

Usage tends to be literary or technical. In mathematical or philosophical writing that distinguishes countable from uncountable sets or quantities, forms related to laskettamaton appear, though everyday Finnish speakers more commonly use laskematon or laskettamaton in base, uninflected form. Laskettamattomasta, as a specific case form, is thus more likely to surface in formal prose, translations, or specialized discussions than in casual speech.

Etymology: the form derives from the root meaning “to count” (laskea) with the negative, yielding “uncountable,” plus the adjective inflection and the elative case ending. See also laskettamaton, laskematon, and related terms for countability and cardinality.
