otsikoista

Otsikoista is a Finnish noun form meaning “from the headlines” or “about the headlines.” It is the plural elative form of otsikko, which means headline or title. The elative case (-sta/-stä) expresses origin, source, or basis, so otsikoista literally translates to “from the headlines” and is used to indicate information derived from headlines or topics introduced by them.

In practice, otsikoista is common in journalism, media studies, and discourse analysis when referring to what headlines suggest, what themes they highlight, or how headlines shape interpretation. It can also appear in constructions meaning “about headlines,” such as discussions or analyses that focus on the headlines themselves or their influence on readers.

Examples include sentences like:

- Otsikoista voi päätellä, että uutisointi on keskittynyt talousaiheisiin. (From the headlines one can infer that the coverage concentrates on economic topics.)

- Artikkeli käsittelee otsikoista nousseita keskustelunaiheita. (The article deals with topics raised by the headlines.)

The base plural form is otsikot; the genitive plural is otsikoiden, and the singular elative is otsikosta. The elative plural otsikoista is a standard grammatical form used to reference content, topics, or sources tied to headlines in Finnish texts.
