vastauksilta

Vastauksilta is a Finnish word-construction used to indicate origin or basis of information and is formed as the elative plural of the noun vastaukset (answers). In practice, vastauksilta means “from the answers,” i.e., information derived from the responses of respondents. The form is common in written Finnish when describing data sources in surveys, interviews, or other types of response-based research.

In usage, vastauksilta signals that the material being referred to originates in the set of answers rather than in theory or observation alone. It is frequently found in journalism, market research, social science, and academic reporting. For example, a sentence such as “Vastauksilta käy ilmi, että vastaajista suurin osa kannattaa uudistuksia” communicates that the trend or conclusion comes from the respondents’ answers. Another common construction is “vastauksilta kerätyn aineiston perusteella,” meaning based on data collected from responses.

Nuance and variants: vastauksilta is one of several elative plural forms used to express source material. Depending on context, writers may also refer to vastauksista or vastauksiltaan to indicate from the answers or from respondents’ own answers, with closely related emphasis on source and ownership.

Overall, vastauksilta is a concise, neutral term for attributing findings to the responses received in a question-based process.
