sananlähteeltään

Sananlähteeltään is a Finnish word that translates to "from its source" or "originating from." It is an adverbial phrase used to indicate the origin or genesis of something. This can refer to the literal source of a river, the original meaning of a word, or the root cause of a phenomenon.

For example, one might say "Tieto on sananlähteeltään epävarmaa," meaning "The information is uncertain from its source." This implies that the reliability of the information is questionable because its origin is not trustworthy or clear. Another usage could be "Sana on sananlähteeltään latinaa," indicating that the word originates from Latin.

The phrase is composed of two parts: "sana" meaning "word" and "lähteeltään" which is the adessive case of "lähde," meaning "source." Therefore, literally, it means " from its word-source" or more broadly, "from its source." It is a useful construction for specifying the origin of information, concepts, or objects in a precise manner. The context in which "sananlähteeltään" is used determines the specific meaning, whether it refers to a tangible origin or a more abstract one.
