veebisaidilt

Veebisaidilt is an Estonian term meaning “from the website.” It is the elative singular form of veebisait (website) and is used to indicate the source or origin of information, data, or material found on the Internet. In formal and informal writing, veebisaidilt helps attribute content to a particular online source.

Grammatical note: Veebisaidilt marks origin and answers questions like “from where?” in sentences that describe provenance. It is commonly used with verbs of origin or discovery, such as pärinema (to originate) and leidma (to find). For example, Informatsioon pärineb veebisaidilt; Artikkel on veebisaidilt pärit. It can also appear in phrases like Allikas: veebisaidilt leitud andmed.

Variants and related forms: Veebisaidilt is one of several ways to express internet-based origin. Related terms include veebilehelt (from the webpage) and veebisaidilt, depending on which word for “website” a speaker uses. These forms are generally interchangeable in everyday language, though choice of noun can affect nuance.

Usage notes: Veebisaidilt is primarily about source attribution or provenance. It contrasts with veebisaidil, which means “on the website” (location rather than origin). In formal writing, use veebisaidilt to indicate that information, data, or quotations come from a specific online source, and ensure the citation aligns with the chosen noun for “website.”
