puhaltajista

Puhaltajista is the Finnish elative plural form of the noun puhaltaja. The base puhaltaja refers to a person who blows air into something, and the term can describe several breath-related roles. In practice, puhaltaja is most often encountered in two contexts: glassmaking, where lasinpuhaltajat (glassblowers) shape molten glass, and music, where puhaltajat are wind players in an orchestra or ensemble. The exact meaning of puhaltajista depends on the surrounding text.

As a grammatical form, puhaltajista denotes the elative plural, commonly translated as “from the blowers” or “of the blowers.” It is used when referring to a group of such people or when describing information originating from them, or when the phrase functions as part of another noun phrase. For example, a sentence might say that a study or a report concerns puhaltajista or that a group is composed of puhaltajista. In music contexts, puhaltajista can refer to a subset of wind players within a larger ensemble.

Etymology and usage notes: the word is built from puhaltaja, meaning one who blows air, with the standard Finnish plural and case endings. The term is relatively generic and its precise sense is determined by context, so readers should look to surrounding words to determine whether it concerns glassblowers, wind musicians, or another breath-based occupation.
