tuulelta

Tuulelta is a Finnish linguistic term referring to a specific noun form of the word tuuli (wind). It represents the ablative case form, used to indicate origin or source, and can be translated roughly as “from the wind.”

In Finnish grammar, tuulelta is formed by adding the ablative suffix -lta/-ltä to the stem tuuli, with the exact ending adapting to phonology and vowel harmony. The form is found in more specialized or literary contexts, and may appear in nautical, meteorological, or descriptive language where a direct source expression is desired. In everyday prose, speakers often opt for alternative constructions depending on nuance, but tuulelta remains a correct and recognized form for indicating wind as the source.

Etymology and morphology: tuulelta combines the root tuuli with the ablative suffix -lta/-ltä, aligning with Finnish case system rules for marking source or origin. It exemplifies how Finnish uses case endings to convey spatial and source relationships within a sentence.
