vuokraamastaan

Vuokraamastaan is a Finnish grammatical form derived from the verb vuokrata, meaning to rent. It utilizes the past active participle vuokraama (rented) together with possessive and case endings to form a modifier that refers to something that has been rented by someone. The form is not a standalone noun; instead, it functions within a noun phrase to indicate the source or origin of the referenced item in relation to the person who rented it.

The typical usage involves linking vuokraamasta / vuokraamastaan with a following noun in the elative case, producing phrases such as vuokraamastaan autosta ("from the car that he rented") or vuokraamastaan asunnosta ("from the apartment that he rented"). The construction can also carry the third-person possessive suffix, yielding forms like vuokraamastaan to indicate the actor who did the renting. The exact ending adjusts to fit the syntactic role of the modified noun in the sentence.

Usage notes: Vuokraamastaan appears most often in written or formal Finnish, such as reporting or descriptive prose. In everyday speech, speakers may instead use a relative clause, e.g., asunnon, jonka hän vuokrasi ("the apartment that he rented"), which can be more natural in spoken language.

Related terms include vuokraus (the act of renting), vuokraaja (the renter or lessor), and vuokrata (to rent). The form vuokraamastaan is one of several participial constructions derived from vuokrata that can express ownership, origin, or source in relation to rented objects.
