uskonnollisilta

Uskonnollisilta is the ablative plural form of the Finnish adjective uskonnollinen, meaning religious. It is used to modify a noun in the ablative case and typically conveys origin or source from religious groups, authorities, or contexts. In written Finnish it appears when describing statements, actions, or positions attributed to religious actors or communities.

Grammar and usage: Finnish adjectives decline to agree with the nouns they modify in number and case. When the noun is plural and in the ablative case, the adjective takes the corresponding form, for example, uskonnollisilta johtajilta means “from religious leaders.” The form is used only when there is a plural noun in the ablative that the adjective describes. Uskonnollisesti is the adverbial form meaning “religiously,” and uskonnollinen is the base adjective meaning “religious.”

Practical examples:

- Uskonnollisilta johtajilta on saatu lausuntoja. (A statement has been received from religious leaders.)

- Keskustelu oli uskonnollisilta tahoilta käytyjen näkökulmien perusteella. (The discussion was based on perspectives from religious authorities.)

Relation to related forms: Uskonnolliset is the nominative plural form used for a noun phrase in the subject or non-ablative positions. Uskonnollisin (comparative) and uskonnollisesti (adverb) are related forms. The root uskonto yields other derivatives such as uskonto, uskonnollinen, and uskonnollisesti, covering noun, adjective, and adverb usage.
