luetelluista

Luetelluista is a Finnish grammatical form meaning “from the items listed” or “of the enumerated ones.” It is the elative plural form derived from luettelu, a noun that denotes an enumeration or listing. The form is used to refer to elements that have been specified or presented earlier in a text, such as a list of requirements, findings, or options. Because Finnish uses case endings to express relationships, luetelluista signals sourcing or reference to the listed items rather than to the list as a whole.

In practice, luetelluista appears in formal or technical writing, including reports, inventories, and legal or administrative texts. It helps connect statements to a previously presented set of items without repeating the list. For example: Luetelluista kohteista suurin osa täytti kriteerit. (From the listed items, the majority met the criteria.) Luetelluista vaihtoehdoista valittiin se, joka parhaiten vastasi tarpeita. (From the listed options, the one that best met the needs was chosen.)

Relation to other terms: luetelluista is related to luettelo (list) and luettelu (enumeration). The exact form arises from applying the elative plural suffix -ista to the stem luetellu-, which itself stems from luettelo/luettelu concepts. The phrase is primarily a functional connector in discourse, guiding readers to consider items previously enumerated rather than restating them.
