teräksisestä

teräksisestä is the elative singular form of the Finnish word teräksinen. Teräksinen means "steel" or "made of steel". The elative case in Finnish indicates movement or origin *from* something. Therefore, teräksisestä literally translates to "from steel" or "out of steel".

This grammatical form would be used in a sentence describing something that has come from, been made from, or is characterized by being made of steel. For example, one might say "veistos on tehty teräksisestä" meaning "the sculpture is made from steel". Another example could be "puhut kuin olisit teräksisestä", meaning "you speak as if you were made of steel", implying toughness or resilience.

The elative case is one of the 15 grammatical cases in Finnish. It is formed by adding the suffix -sta or -stä to the stem of a noun or adjective. In the case of teräksinen, the stem is teräksise-, and the elative singular ending is -stä, resulting in teräksisestä. This case is crucial for conveying nuanced meanings related to origin and source within Finnish grammar.
