maailmasta

Maailmasta is the elative form of the Finnish noun maailma (world). In Finnish, the elative case -sta/-stä expresses origin or starting point, so maailmasta literally means “from the world” or “out of the world,” depending on context. The form is common in both everyday language and written text to indicate global scope, origin, or influence.

In idiomatic use, maailmasta%-labeled phrases often convey worldwide reach or recognition. A frequent construction is maailmasta tuttu, a compound meaning “world-known” or “world-famous.” For example, maailma‑sta tuttu ilmiö can be translated as “a phenomenon known around the world” or “world-famous phenomenon.” The phrase helps compress ideas such as international renown into a single modifier.

Maailmasta is also used more broadly to indicate origin or source relative to the world when paired with other words, and it can appear in sentences describing something emerging from or associated with the wider world. For example, it can appear in contexts like someone being “maailmasta kotoisin” in a poetic sense, meaning originating from the world or from worldly experiences, though more common variants focus on well-known or global aspects.

Grammatical notes: elative forms are built by attaching -sta/-stä to the base noun and follow standard Finnish vowel harmony and case rules. Maailma remains the stem, and maailmasta is just one of many possible case forms used to express origin or scope. In neutral, encyclopedic writing, kasutada maailmasta to indicate global reach or worldwide familiarity is typical and clear.
