lähdettäesimerkiksi

Lähdettäesimerkiksi is a Finnish word that can be translated as "for example" or "for instance" in English. It is commonly used in written and spoken Finnish to introduce an example or illustration that clarifies a preceding statement. The word is a compound of "lähde" (source, origin) and "esimerkiksi" (for example). While "esimerkiksi" is a more direct and frequently used equivalent of "for example," "lähdettäesimerkiksi" adds a slightly more formal or emphatic tone, suggesting that the example provided is a significant or illustrative instance drawn from a larger context or source.

The usage of "lähdettäesimerkiksi" is similar to how one might use "for example" in English to support a claim or provide concrete evidence. For instance, if discussing types of berries, one might say, "Suomessa kasvaa monia erilaisia marjoja, lähdettäesimerkiksi mustikka, puolukka ja lakka" (In Finland, many different berries grow, for example, blueberry, lingonberry, and cloudberry). The inclusion of "lähdettäesimerkiksi" here highlights that these are prime examples of Finnish berries. It is not as common as the standalone "esimerkiksi" but serves a specific stylistic purpose in Finnish discourse.
