lähteeltään

lähteeltään is a Finnish word that functions as an adverb or a postposition. It is derived from the Finnish word "lähde," meaning "source." As an adverb, lähteeltään indicates the origin or starting point of something. It can be used to describe where something comes from, both literally and figuratively. For example, one might say "Tämä tieto on lähteeltään epäluotettava," meaning "This information is unreliable in its source."

When used as a postposition, lähteeltään typically follows a noun or pronoun and signifies "from the source of" or "originating from." It often implies that the information or item in question is being examined or evaluated based on its origin. For instance, "Tutkimus perustuu useisiin eri lähteeltään" translates to "The research is based on several different sources." The grammatical case of the preceding word will determine the specific form of lähteeltään used, though the core meaning of origin remains consistent. This word is crucial for conveying the provenance or foundational aspect of a subject in Finnish.
