määritellyiltä

Määritellyiltä is a Finnish word that translates to "from defined" or "from specified" in English. It is the adessive plural form of the past passive participle of the verb määritellä, which means "to define." This grammatical form indicates that something originates from, is characterized by, or is related to a set of previously established definitions or specifications.

In practice, "määritellyiltä" suggests that an action, state, or object is not arbitrary but is based on pre-determined criteria or characteristics. For example, a report might be based on "määritellyiltä tiedoilta" (from defined data), meaning the data used in the report has been clearly specified beforehand. Similarly, a process might be executed "määritellyiltä osilta" (from defined parts), implying that only specific, identified components are involved.

The word emphasizes clarity, precision, and the absence of ambiguity. When something is described as coming from "määritellyiltä," it implies that the scope, nature, or parameters are already understood and agreed upon. This concept is crucial in contexts requiring exactness, such as technical specifications, legal documents, or scientific research, where adherence to defined terms and conditions is paramount. The adessive case, indicated by the "-ltä" ending, further reinforces the idea of origin or source.
