viulusta

Viulusta is the elative form of the Finnish noun viulu, meaning the violin. In Finnish grammar, elative forms express origin or starting point and are often translated as “from” in English. Thus viulusta denotes “from the violin” or “of the violin” in contexts where the source or origin is being described. The elative plural of viulu is viuluista.

The form viulusta is used in sentences that indicate a source of sound, inspiration, or attention related to the violin, as well as in figurative expressions where the violin is the topic of discussion. It is one of several case forms that Finnish nouns can take to modify meaning depending on the verb or preposition used.

Grammatically, viulu is a common, everyday noun for the instrument, and viulusta is its elative singular. The corresponding forms for other cases include viulun (genitive) and viululla (inessive), among others. When referring to multiple violins, the elative plural is viuluista.

In summary, viulusta is a routine grammatical form used to indicate that something comes from or is related to the violin, and it appears in both descriptive and narrative Finnish to specify source or association with the instrument. See also viulu, Finnish grammar, and elative case.
