õigussüsteemilt

Õigussüsteemilt is the elative form of õigussüsteem, the Estonian term for the legal or justice system. The elative case marks origin or source, so õigussüsteemilt translates as “from the legal system.” The phrase is used when indicating where something comes from or is derived, such as information, decisions, or procedures.

Õigussüsteem is a compound noun formed from õigus (law, rights) and süsteem (system). In Estonian, compounds associated with institutions or domains often express a particular area of authority; here it denotes the formal system that enforces and interprets laws, including courts, police, prosecutors, and related agencies. The elative suffix -lt attaches to the entire compound: õigussüsteemilt.

Usage and nuance: õigussüsteemilt is common in journalism, law, and policy discussions to specify source or provenance. It can appear in sentences about data, decisions, or statements that originate within the legal framework. For example, “Dokumendid pärinevad õigussüsteemilt” means “The documents originate from the legal system,” and “Otsused pärinevad õigussüsteemilt” can be used to refer to decisions issued by legal authorities.

Related concepts include the broader term õigussüsteem (the legal/justice system) and various institutions within it. The elative form õigussüsteemilt is one of several Estonian case forms used to express origin, source, or departure in a neutral, factual manner.
