Lisälausetyypit

Lisälausetyypit refers to subordinate clauses in Finnish grammar. These clauses cannot stand alone as complete sentences and depend on a main clause for their full meaning. They function similarly to adjectives, adverbs, or nouns within the main sentence.

There are several types of lisälausetyypit. Relatiivilauseet (relative clauses) provide additional information about a noun or pronoun in the main clause, often introduced by a relative pronoun like "joka" or "mikä." Kysymyslauseet (interrogative clauses) function as the object or complement of the main verb, answering a question. Esimerkiksi, "En tiedä, tuleeko hän." The temporal clause, introduced by conjunctions like "kun," "kunnes," or "ennen kuin," specifies when an action occurs. On the other hand, conditionaalilauseet (conditional clauses) express a condition using conjunctions such as "jos" or "vaikka." Final clauses, often introduced by "jotta," express the purpose of an action. Causal clauses, introduced by "koska" or "siksi että," explain the reason for something. Finally, comparative clauses, introduced by "kuin," are used for comparisons. Understanding these different types is crucial for comprehending complex Finnish sentence structures.
