levyltä

Levyltä is the elative/ablative singular form of the Finnish noun levy, which means disc, plate, or album. The suffix -ltä marks origin or source, so levyltä translates roughly as "from the record/album" or "off the disk." It is used to indicate where something comes from or originates, in contrast to on the record (levyllä) or from within the record (levystä).

In usage, levyltä commonly appears in contexts related to music media and discography, as well as when referring to information or material obtained from a recorded medium. For example, kappale löytyi levyltä can be understood as “the track was found on the album,” and tiedot ovat levyltä peräisin can be interpreted as “the information comes from the record.” The plural form is levyiltä, used when talking about multiple records or sources.

Levyltä is a regular inflected form of levy and demonstrates Finnish case morphology, where the suffix -ltä expresses origin or source. It is distinct from levyllä, meaning “on the record,” which indicates location rather than origin. The word levy itself encompasses multiple senses, including vinyl records, music albums, and broader disc-related media.
