persoonallisesta

Persoonallisesta is the elative singular form of the Finnish adjective persoonallinen. It is used to express "from the personal" or "in relation to the personal" within phrases where the noun is understood in a personal sense. The elative case in Finnish answers questions such as "from where?" or "in terms of what?" and thus persoonallisesta appears in expressions like "persoonallisesta näkökulmasta" meaning "from a personal perspective."

Although it exists and is understood, persoonallinen is not the most common everyday term for "personal" in Finnish. Standard usage often prefers "henkilökohtainen." Persoonallinen is more likely to appear in stylistic writing, marketing language, or contexts that borrow from other languages, where it can carry nuances of individuality or personal touch.

Related forms include the noun "persoonallisuus" (personality) and other adjective forms. The term is primarily encountered in written Finnish rather than in ordinary spoken language, and may be seen in academic or professional texts as well as branding materials.
