syylevydeltään

Syylevydeltään is a Finnish word that translates to "in terms of blame" or "in terms of responsibility" in English. It is a grammatical construct used to specify the area or aspect for which someone or something is being held accountable.

This phrase is often employed in legal contexts, discussions of ethics, or when analyzing causality. For instance, when determining fault in an accident, one might analyze the situation "syylevydeltään" to understand who or what was primarily responsible for the event. It allows for a nuanced examination of responsibility, acknowledging that blame may not always be absolute or solely attributed to one party.

The word is formed by combining "syy" (cause, blame, reason) with the plural genitive form of "levy" (a flat object, a plate, or in this context, a metaphorical layer or aspect) and the elative case ending "-ltään" (from its/their). Thus, it literally suggests "from its layer of blame" or "from its aspect of cause."

Understanding "syylevydeltään" helps in comprehending how Finnish speakers discuss accountability and assign responsibility in various situations, moving beyond simple accusations to a more detailed assessment of contributing factors.
