portaalista

Portaalista is the elative case form of the Finnish noun portaali, which means portal in the sense of a doorway or a web portal. In Finnish grammar, the elative case expresses origin or movement away from something, so portaalista translates roughly as “from the portal” or “out of the portal,” depending on context. The form is used in both physical and digital contexts.

Etymology and formation: Portaali is a loanword from English “portal,” adapted into Finnish as portaali. The elative suffix -sta/-stä attaches to the stem portaali, yielding portaalista. The double a in the form reflects the underlying stem of portaali.

Usage: Portaalista is common in sentences that indicate source or origin. Examples include statements about information accessed via a specific portal, such as “Portaalista löytyi ohjeet” (The instructions were found from the portal) or “Linkit ovat portaalista” (The links are from the portal). In web or software discussions, portaalista can specify content or resources accessed through a particular portal.
