perältä

Perältä is a Finnish word that functions as an adverb or a postposition. As an adverb, it indicates a position or direction at the back or rear of something. For example, "Hän seisoi perältä" translates to "He stood at the back." It can also refer to the end or the furthest part of a place or object.

When used as a postposition, perältä typically follows a noun or pronoun and signifies "from the back" or "from the rear." It often implies movement or origin from that rearward position. For instance, "Tuli perältä" could mean "It came from the back." The genitive case of the noun is usually required before perältä.

In a broader sense, perältä can also metaphorically refer to the end of a period of time or the culmination of an event, suggesting something coming from the conclusion. The word is derived from "perä," meaning "back," "rear," or "end." Its usage is common in everyday Finnish conversation and literature.
