sipuleista

Sipuleista is the elative plural form of the Finnish noun sipuli (onion). In Finnish, the elative case expresses source, origin, or material, and the plural elative is formed with the suffix -ista/-istä, yielding sipuleista for onions.

In use, sipuleista denotes onions as the source or material of something. For example, sipuleista valmistettu ruokaa means food prepared from onions, and sipuleista peräisin olevat aromit refers to aromas originating from onions. The form is common in cooking, food labeling, and recipes, where onions are identified as the ingredient or flavor source.

The term appears in phrases that describe substances, dishes, or products derived from onions, such as sauces, soups, or marinades. Because Finnish relies on case endings to convey relationship, sipuleista is most natural when the context makes clear that onions are the material or origin being referred to. It is not a standalone concept but a grammatical form used to express a specific relationship in plural.
