finnish grammar again

 Hi, i just want to comment the first of four infinitives in finnish verbs. Infinitiv+ to in english.


to eat= syödä in finnish, the short version and the longer version would be in finnish


i eat= syödä-kse-ni

you eat= syödä-kse-si


and so on

this is still the first infinitiv in finnish, but a longer version of to eat=  syödä


 Wait a minute, but the suffixes- ni and -si are also used as possessivesuffix in finnish:

koira-ni= my dog or minun koira= my dog

koira-si= your dog or  sinun koira= your dog.


Heavy stuff. I am glad that i do not have to learn finnish, just like to write about my mother language.

Moikka
