nännistä

Nännistä is a Finnish inflected form of the noun nänni, meaning nipple or teat. In grammar, nännistä is the elative singular form, used to indicate origin, source, or a topic of discussion. Depending on context, it can translate roughly as “from the nipple” or “about the nipple.”

The base noun nänni refers to the projecting part of the breast or udder from which milk is released in lactating mammals. In humans, the term is used in anatomical, medical, and everyday language to denote the nipple itself. The concept is primarily anatomical and does not carry intrinsic connotations beyond its biological meaning.

In Finnish, nouns are declined to express different grammatical cases. For singular forms, typical related forms of nänni include nominative nänni, genitive nännin, partitive nänniä, and inessive nännissä; elative singular is nännistä. The elative form is used in phrases where something is described as originating from or being discussed in relation to the nipple.
