Infinitivejä

Infinitivejä is a term used in Finnish grammar to refer to the infinitive form of verbs. The infinitive is a non-finite verb form that does not indicate tense, person, or number. It is used to express general actions, purposes, or conditions. In Finnish, the infinitive form of a verb is typically created by adding the suffix -a to the verb's stem. For example, the infinitive form of the verb "juoda" (to drink) is "juoda." The infinitive is often used in conjunction with certain auxiliary verbs, such as "olla" (to be) or "tulla" (to come), to form compound tenses. It is also used in imperative sentences, where it serves as the base form of the verb. The infinitive is an essential aspect of Finnish grammar, as it allows for the expression of various grammatical structures and meanings.
