taulukosta

Taulukosta is the elative form of the Finnish noun taulukko, meaning “from the table.” The term is used to indicate the source or origin of information that is presented in a table, chart, or spreadsheet, or to describe something that comes out of a table.

In Finnish grammar, taulukosta expresses origin or source and answers questions like “Mistä?” or “From where?” with reference to data or items found within a table. It is formed by attaching the elative suffix -sta/-stä to taulukko, resulting in taulukosta.

Usage examples illustrate its common contexts. Taulukosta näet myyntiluvut vuodelta 2024. (From the table you can see the sales figures for 2024.) Tiedot on otettu taulukosta. (The data were taken from the table.) Taulukosta löytyvät tiedot voivat auttaa päätöksenteossa. (The information from the table can aid decision-making.)

Taulukosta is frequently used in statistical reports, research summaries, and any discourse that involves presenting or discussing data that resides in a tabular format. It should be distinguished from related forms such as taulukkoon (illative, “into the table”) or taulukon (genitive, “of the table”). The elative usage is particularly relevant when emphasizing the source or extraction of information from the table.
