levylältä

Levylältä is a Finnish expression that literally means “from the record.” It is formed from levy, meaning vinyl record, and the suffix -ltä, indicating origin or source. In standard Finnish, the common form to denote something coming from a record is levyltä. Levylältä, however, appears mainly in poetic, lyric, or informal usage and does not have a widely established, separate dictionary definition.

Usage and interpretation of levylältä tend to revolve around the idea of origin or influence tied to a vinyl record. It is most often encountered in discussions about music history, listening experiences, or when referring to content that is derived from or associated with physical records. As a stylistic variant, it can be used to evoke the materiality and authenticity associated with analog formats, though it remains nonstandard in formal writing.

Linguistic notes and variants: Levylältä illustrates Finnish’s flexibility with word formation and stylistic spelling in nonliterary contexts. For formal or careful prose, levyltä is typically preferred to convey origin from a record. Levylältä may be used intentionally by authors to create a certain tone, dialectal flavor, or artistic effect.
