I would like to know what trualta means in the Finnish language. I'm doing the evaluation of a Spanish document and I found this Finnish word in the document and was also in google.

Not a Finnish word
Trualta is not a Finnish word. It could be a typo - can't figure out myself what it could be. And in the google search I found (I believe you got the same result), it means "from [there]", and even there it was a dialect word, which would not be found in an official document at all

Reply to Asker: Yes, I got the same google hit, which I mentioned above.. that is a text written in a strong dialect/conversational manner (from northern Ostrobothnia), and it means "from [there]". But I doubt you'll find that in any other texts or official documents.
So actually 'trualta' isn't a Finnish word.

Hi again,
They speak Finnish in Ostrobothnia area, too, yes. But the word 'trualta' in the google hit which you and I found, is a very strong dialect/word used in everyday speech. The actual form in written Finnish for that is "tuolta" (= meaning "from there"), like I and M. Galitsos here mentioned.
But it is not a very commonly used form of the word "tuolta" ("from there"), so I stick by my earlier answer, that your word, in the Spanish document that you are evaluating, is not an actual Finnish word.
Sorry for the confusion but I wanted to explain _why_ you found the google hit on a Finnish web page. :)

And come to think of it, did you conclude that 'trualta' in fact would even be a Finnish word, based on one single hit in google search? Google is wonderful and we all love it, but it's not very reliable when it comes to strange words - especially when the hit web page has the word 'blog' on it, for example.

It could be 'tuolta' = from there.

In the Ostrobothnian dialect tuolta becomes tualta, so it still means 'from there'.

Tuolta does not mean 'from somewhere'. That would be 'jostakin', so I really do not understand the Peer comment.

In fact 'tuolla' means 'there ' (you can point at the place, so it is quite near, in your visual field) in Finnish. It is used in the Asker's example.
We also have another word which means almost the same: 'siellä' = 'there' (you cannot point at the place, it is not in your visual field).
--------------------------------------------------

But the fact remains that 'trualta' is not a Finnish word. If you add it to the glossary, please correct it. It should be 'tuolta'.

: Here, in the asker's first note 'trualta' clearly means 'tuolta', that is 'from somewhere' (here: 'from the neighbouring workshop/smithy)

Ostrobothnia is also in Finland. Do they speak other language there?
is from there the meaning of this word?
