Partisiippilause

Partisiippilause is a grammatical structure found in many languages, including Finnish, Estonian, and Hungarian, where a verb in a non-finite form (such as a participle or gerund) functions as the main verb of a clause. This structure is often used to express simultaneous or consecutive actions, or to provide additional information about the main action. In Finnish, for example, the participle is formed by adding the suffix "-va" or "-ne" to the verb stem, and it can be used to create complex sentences with multiple actions happening at the same time. Partisiippilause is a versatile and expressive tool in these languages, allowing for concise and nuanced communication.
