ülikoolilt

"Ülikoolilt" is a genitive case form of the Estonian word "ülikool," which translates to "university." In the genitive case, "ülikoolilt" typically signifies something coming from, belonging to, or being received from a university. It functions similarly to "from the university" or "of the university" in English, depending on the context.

For example, in a sentence like "Ma sain kirja ülikoolilt" (I received a letter from the university), "ülikoolilt" clearly indicates the source of the letter. Another example could be "ülikoolilt saadud teave" (information obtained from the university), where "ülikoolilt" modifies "teave" to show its origin. The genitive case in Estonian is used to express possession, origin, or as an indirect object. Therefore, "ülikoolilt" is a grammatical construct that is essential for expressing these relationships when referring to a university in Estonian. Its specific meaning is always determined by its grammatical role within a sentence and the surrounding words.
