panoksestaan

Panoksestaan is a Finnish word form that translates roughly to “from his/her contribution” or “by his/her input.” It is a single inflected form derived from the noun panos, meaning contribution or input, and is used to indicate that a statement, influence, or evidence comes from or is attributable to a specific person. In practice, panoksestaan appears in contexts where a speaker or author wants to reference the source of a given contribution within discussion, analysis, or reporting.

Morphology and formation: The base noun panos denotes a contribution or input. The elative case marker -sta/-stä signals origin or source, yielding panoksesta (from the contribution). To attribute that source to a particular person, the third-person possessive suffix -nsä is added, producing the fused form panoksestaan. In usage, the form specifies that the contribution in question belongs to or is associated with that person. Other person-specific variants exist, for example panoksestani (from my contribution) and panoksestasi (from your contribution).

Usage: Panoksestaan is common in formal writing, reporting, and evaluative discourse, where it helps attribute ideas, data, or influence to a particular individual. It can be used to introduce conclusions drawn from someone’s input or to reference the basis for a claim. Overall, it is one of several Finnish constructions that link a contribution to its author or source.

Related terms: panos (contribution, input) and osuus (share, portion) are related concepts, while other possessive and case forms of panos cover different persons and grammatical roles.
