nautittavasta

Nautittavasta is the elative singular form of the Finnish adjective nautittava, meaning enjoyable or pleasurable. It is used when the noun it describes is in the elative case, for example nautittavasta kokemuksesta meaning “from an enjoyable experience.” The form reflects standard Finnish adjective declension, where the base nautittava is declined to match the case of the noun it modifies.

Etymology and form: The adjective nautittava is built from the noun nautinto (pleasure) with the suffix -ttava, which yields a word meaning “to be enjoyed” or “enjoyable.” The elative suffix -sta/-stä attaches to produce nautittavasta, the form used with elative-noun phrases.

Usage notes: Nautittavasta is a descriptive term used in written and spoken Finnish to indicate that something can be, is, or is considered enjoyable, with nuance similar to “enjoyable” or “pleasurable” in English. It is common in neutral or formal contexts and can describe experiences, events, activities, or objects that provide pleasure.

Examples:

- Elokuvan katsominen oli nautittava kokemus.

- Keskustelussa nautittavasta kokemuksesta puhuttiin paljon.

In brief, nautittavasta serves as the elative form of a standard Finnish adjective expressing that the referred noun evokes pleasure, with typical usage in phrases where the noun is in elative.
