vastuullisista

Vastuullisista is a Finnish inflected form of the adjective vastuullinen, meaning responsible or accountable. Specifically, vastuullisista is the elative plural form, used with plural nouns to indicate source, origin, or basis from the group described. In practice, it translates roughly as “from the responsible ones” or “of the responsible ones,” depending on context.

The form appears in sentences where the speaker refers to a group characterized by responsibility and where something is described as coming from or being based on that group. It is most common in formal or written Finnish, such as reports, policy discussions, and organizational communications. Because it is an inflected form, vastuullisista typically accompanies a plural noun in the elative case, for example vastuullisista toimijoista (from responsible actors) or vastuullisista lähtökohdista (from responsible premises).

Usage notes include that vastuullisista is rarely used alone as a noun; it functions as an adjective in the elative plural and forms a phrase with the noun it modifies. The nuance often centers on legitimacy, ethics, or governance, signaling that conclusions, data, or decisions originate from or are grounded in a group deemed responsible.

Example sentences:

- Päätökset tehtiin vastuullisista lähtökohdista. (Decisions were made from responsible premises.)

- Raportti perustuu vastuullisista toimijoista saatuun dataan. (The report is based on data obtained from responsible actors.)
