paneeleista

Paneeleista is the elative plural form of the Finnish noun paneeli, meaning a flat piece of material used as a panel in walls, furniture, or equipment, or a control or decorative panel in devices. The word paneeli is a loanword from English panel, adapted into Finnish. The elative plural paneeleista is used to express “from the panels” or “of the panels” when referring to multiple panels. Other inflected forms include paneelit (nominative plural), paneeleita (partitive plural), and paneelien (genitive plural).

The term is primarily a grammatical form rather than a separate concept, and its meaning derives from paneeli. It appears in contexts such as construction, interior design, carpentry, and industrial or electronic equipment discussions where panels are discussed as components or materials.

Usage notes:

- Paneeleista is used to indicate origin, source, or association with multiple panels.

- It is common in technical writing, architectural descriptions, and discussions about materials and repurposing or recycling of panels.

- In everyday speech, speakers may use other forms (such as paneelit) when the exact case is not crucial.

Related terms include paneeli (singular), paneelit (nominative plural), paneeleita (partitive plural), and paneelien (genitive plural). The concept covers a range of panels made from wood, laminate, metal, or composite materials and their use in construction, furniture, and equipment.
