Adjektiivitaivutussääntöjä
Adjektiivitaivutussääntöjä (Finnish adjective declension rules) are a set of guidelines used to modify nouns in the Finnish language. Finnish adjectives must agree with the noun they modify in terms of case, number, and definiteness. The basic form of an adjective is called the nominative singular form. To modify a noun, the adjective is inflected according to the noun's case, number, and definiteness.
Finnish adjectives have two main types of endings: strong and weak. Strong adjectives have a distinct ending
For example, the adjective "iso" (big) has the following endings in the strong declension:
In the weak declension, the adjective "iso" would have the following endings:
However, the weak declension has a common ending in the nominative and genitive cases, which is "o"
Adjectives can also be compared using the comparative and superlative forms. The comparative form is created
In summary, Finnish adjective declension rules involve modifying adjectives to agree with the noun they modify
