viimeisestä

Viimeisestä is the elative singular form of the Finnish adjective viimeinen, meaning “last” or “final.” It is used to indicate origin or movement from the last item in a sequence, rather than to describe something as being last. In Finnish, adjectives inflect for case and number, and the elative form typically ends with -sta or -stä, hence viimeisestä.

The form appears in phrases such as “viimeisestä kappaleesta,” meaning from the last piece. It can also occur in broader contexts where the speaker refers to something originating from the last item in a group, for example in comparative or evaluative statements about the sequence.

Finnish adjectives like viimeinen also take other inflected forms for different cases, such as genitive and partitive (e.g., viimeisen, viimeistä), as well as illative or inessive forms (depending on the noun and the case in question). The exact endings follow standard Finnish adjective declension rules, so endings vary with number and case.

In English, viimeisestä is generally translated as “from the last [one/item],” reflecting its elative meaning. It is a specialized grammatical form used in descriptive or narrative Finnish to denote origin from the final element in a set.
