Adjektiivijärjestelmälle

Adjektiivijärjestelmälle is a Finnish term that translates to "for the adjective system" or "to the adjective system." It refers to a grammatical concept related to how adjectives are used and organized within the Finnish language. Finnish adjectives agree with the nouns they modify in case, number, and possession. This means an adjective's ending changes depending on the grammatical function of the noun in the sentence. For example, the adjective "kaunis" (beautiful) will have different forms such as "kauniin" (of the beautiful), "kaunista" (beautiful, partitive), or "kauniissa" (in the beautiful) depending on the noun's case.

The adjective system in Finnish is also notable for its relatively fixed order compared to some other languages. While some flexibility exists, adjectives typically precede the nouns they describe. There are also fewer degrees of comparison for adjectives in Finnish than in English, with comparative and superlative forms often relying on adverbs or specific suffixes. Understanding the adjektiivijärjestelmälle is crucial for constructing grammatically correct and natural-sounding Finnish sentences. It encompasses the declension of adjectives and their placement within a phrase, contributing to the overall structure and meaning of the sentence. The term itself highlights the systematic nature of adjective usage in Finnish grammar.
