liuoksesta

Liuoksesta is the elative singular form of the Finnish noun liuos (solution). It means “from the solution” or “out of the solution” and is used to indicate origin or source in statements about liquids or mixtures, as well as in figurative expressions.

Morphology and forms: In Finnish, elative singular is formed with the suffix -sta or -stä. For liuos, the form is liuoksesta. The elative plural is liuoksista. Thus, examples include liuoksesta (from the solution) and liuoksista (from the solutions). These forms are used with verbs and nouns that denote actions of removing, extracting, or sourcing material from a solution.

Usage and context: Liuoksesta is common in scientific and technical contexts, but also appears in everyday language when describing processes involving liquids. It expresses origin, source, or basis for subsequent actions. Examples:

- Näyte otettiin liuoksesta. (A sample was taken from the solution.)

- Liuoksesta haihtui vettä, ja jäljelle jäi kiteinen aine. (Water evaporated from the solution, leaving a crystalline substance.)

Linguistic notes: The elative form helps distinguish origin from other cases such as the nominative liuos (the solution) or the genitive liuoksen (of the solution). It can be used with verbs of extraction, transfer, or measurement, and is compatible with both technical and descriptive contexts.
