limittäisestä

Limittäisestä is a Finnish word formed as the elative singular of the adjective limittäinen, which describes something that touches or shares a boundary with another object. In practice, limittäinen denotes contiguity or adjacency rather than mere proximity, and it is most common in technical, legal, geographic, or mathematical contexts. The term tends to be more formal than everyday alternatives such as viereinen (adjacent) or naapurialue (neighboring area).

The use of limittäisestä follows ordinary Finnish inflection: the elative form is used to indicate origin or relation from the adjacent object, for example in planning or property descriptions. In written documents one might encounter phrases such as limittäisestä tontista or limittäisestä alueesta, meaning “from the adjacent lot” or “from the adjacent area.” The word is thus a precise way to express boundary-sharing relationships in contexts where exact contiguity matters.

Compared with more common synonyms, limittäinen emphasizes a direct boundary link rather than general proximity. This makes it especially suitable in fields like urban planning, cadastral descriptions, and geometric or topological discussions, where the nature of borders or shared edges is important.
