nautinnoista

Nautinnoista is the elative plural form of the Finnish noun nautinnot, which means pleasures or enjoyments. The elative form marks source or topic, so nautinnoista can be translated as “from the pleasures” or “about the pleasures.” The word is used in prose and speech to refer to things that provide satisfaction or delight, whether concrete (food, art, travel) or abstract (sense of well-being).

In usage, nautinnoista appears in discussions about culture, lifestyle, philosophy, or consumer behavior when pleasures are the subject of analysis. For example, one might say, puhuttelee nautinnoista, or keskustellaan nautinnoista, meaning discussions about pleasures or about what people derive enjoyment from. The phrase can also introduce topics in which pleasures are regarded as a social or cultural phenomenon, such as the culture of enjoying certain experiences or goods.

Etymology and form: nautinnot is the plural noun meaning pleasures, formed from the verb nauttia (to enjoy) with the noun-forming pattern that yields nautinnot. The elative plural nautinnoista expresses movement from or focus on those pleasures in discourse.
