täytöistä

Täytöistä is a Finnish noun form that occurs as an elative plural of the noun täyte, meaning filling or stuffing. In standard Finnish, the elative plural form is typically täytteistä, so täytöistä is regarded as nonstandard and mostly found in dialectal or historical texts. The word refers to a source or origin from fillings, for example when discussing multiple fillings in a culinary context, but its nonstandard status means it is rarely used in modern writing.

Etymology and morphology: täyte forms the plural stem täytte-, and the elative plural ending is -istä. While täytteistä aligns with contemporary Finnish spelling and grammar, täytöistä represents an alternative vowel pattern that appears in some regional speech forms or older usages. As a result, täytöistä may be encountered in regional literature, folklore, or when quoting older texts.

Usage and register: Because täytöistä is not part of standard Finnish per contemporary language conventions, it is encountered infrequently and typically signals regional flavor, archaism, or a historical quotation. For everyday writing and most published recipes or culinary discussions, täytteistä is the appropriate form.

Relation to related terms: The core noun is täyte (filling, stuffing). Other related forms include täytteet (plural nominative), täytteitä (plural partitive), and täytteistä (standard plural elative). The existence of täytöistä illustrates how dialects and historical usage can diverge from standard inflection patterns in Finnish.

Note: Standard Finnish speakers should prefer täytteistä when meaning “from the fillings.” Täytöistä may appear for stylistic or historical reasons but is not commonly used in contemporary language.
