tärkeästä

Tärkeästä is the elative singular form of the Finnish adjective tärkeä, which means important. In Finnish, adjectives decline to agree with the noun they modify, and the elative case is marked with the suffix -sta or -stä. The elative expresses origin or source and can also appear in phrases meaning from or about something.

Tärkeästä occurs only when the noun it modifies is in elative singular. Examples include tärkeästä talosta (from the important house), tärkeästä henkilöstä (from an important person), and tärkeästä syystä (for an important reason). In these phrases, both the adjective and the noun are in the elative singular form.

In the plural, the corresponding form of the adjective is tärkeistä, as in tärkeistä taloista (from important houses). The base form tärkeä is used in nominative positions (e.g., tärkeä talo = an important house), while tärkeästä shifts the meaning to origin or aboutness in elative constructions.

Notes on usage and style: tärkeästä is a productive grammatical form, not a stand-alone noun. It appears in formal or written Finnish whenever the noun it accompanies is governed by the elative case. The form helps convey expressions such as sources, origins, reasons, and topics in the sense of “from/from/about the important ….”
