riippumattomalta

Riippumattomalta is a Finnish word that functions as a form of the adjective riippumaton, meaning independent or unbiased. It is used to indicate the source, agency, or stance of something as independent of a particular party, organization, or interest. In practice, riippumattomalta appears in phrases that specify origin, such as riippumattomalta lähteeltä (from an independent source) or riippumattomalta taholta (by an independent party).

Grammatical note: The form is produced by attaching a suffix to the adjective to express source, and it commonly occurs with nouns in cases that denote origin or source. It is not an adverb; for independent action Finnish uses riippumatta or riippumattomasti.

Usage: Riippumattomalta is frequent in journalism, research reports, and official statements when a claim or information is presented as coming from an unbiased or non-affiliated source. It signals impartiality or lack of ties to a specific stakeholder.

Etymology and form: It derives from riippumaton (independent) with a suffix used in Finnish to denote origin or source. The same root yields related terms such as riippumattomuus (independence) and riippumaton (independent).
