sivustoilta

Sivustoilta is a Finnish noun form meaning "from the websites." It is the elative plural form of sivusto, which denotes a website or online site. The elative case answers questions about origin, so sivustoilta indicates information or material that comes from multiple websites.

In Finnish, the base noun sivusto has various forms such as sivusto (singular nominative), sivustot (plural nominative), and sivustoilta (plural elative). The use of sivustoilta is common when referring to sources distributed across several online platforms, especially in reporting, research, and academic writing.

Usage tends to be practical and concise. It is frequently seen in lists of sources, in summaries of online material, or in statements like "Tietoa kerättiin sivustoilta" (Information was gathered from websites). It can also function as part of a larger noun phrase, for example in "lähteet sivustoilta" (sources from websites).

Examples illustrate typical contexts: in journalism, a sentence might read, "Lähteet ovat sivustoilta ja viranomaisilta." In research, a note could state, "Käytetyt tiedot ovat peräisin sivustoilta." While Sivustoilta is straightforward, writers should avoid ambiguity by pairing it with clear reference to what sites were used.
