väleistä

Väleistä is the elative plural form of the Finnish noun väli, which means gap, interval, space or distance. Väli denotes a physical or temporal separation between two or more things, or a space between elements. The elative plural form väleistä is used when referring to gaps or intervals from which something is derived or observed, for example in descriptions that involve multiple time periods or spatial separations. The form is created from the plural stem välit plus the elative plural suffix -istä.

In usage, väli can refer to concrete spaces (such as the gaps between objects or structures), temporal intervals (between events or measurements), or more abstract separations (gaps in data or knowledge). Väleistä commonly appears in descriptive, analytical or scientific prose, including fields such as geography, architecture, linguistics and statistics, where phrases like “from the gaps between …” convey a sense of separation across several instances.

Notes on grammar and usage: Finnish inflection follows vowel harmony and standard case endings. Väleistä illustrates the plural elative ending -istä, reflecting typical morphology for plural stems ending in -t. In reference works, related forms include väli (singular), välit (nominative plural) and välistä (singular elative).
