vastaanottavasta

Vastaanottavasta is a Finnish grammar form. It is the elative singular of the present active participle vastaanottava, which comes from the verb vastaanottaa meaning “to receive” or “to accept.” As a participle used as an adjective, vastaanottava can describe a person, attitude, or action that is receptive or willing to receive.

In practical use, vastaanottavasta functions as an attributive or predicative modifier that agrees with the noun in case, number, and definiteness. The elative singular ending -sta (or -stä) marks the form for “from” or “out of” contexts, so phrases such as vastaanottavasta asenteesta or vastaanottavasta toiminnasta mean “from a receptive attitude” and “from the receptive/receiving operation,” respectively. The form is most common in written or formal Finnish, including linguistic descriptions, rather than in everyday speech.

Vastaanottavasta is part of a larger system of participial inflection in Finnish, where the same stem can be declined into multiple case forms to modify nouns in different grammatical roles. The base participle vastaanottava itself carries the core meaning of “receiving” or “receptive.” Related terms include vastaanottava (the base participle/adjective meaning “receptive”), vastaanottaja (the recipient), and vastaanotto (reception).

Overall, vastaanottavasta serves as a specialized grammatical form used to discuss or describe receptiveness in a syntactic context, with its primary function being to express “from a receptive/receptive-from” relationship when paired with a suitable elative noun.
