Perusjäsennysten

Perusjäsennysten, also known as simple past tense in English, is a grammatical tense used to describe actions that were completed at a specific time in the past. In Finnish, the simple past tense is formed by adding the suffix -i to the verb stem. For example, the verb "juoda" (to drink) in the simple past tense becomes "juin" (I drank). This tense is used to talk about past events that are completed and do not continue into the present. It is often used in narratives, stories, and when discussing past habits or routines. The simple past tense is one of the fundamental tenses in Finnish grammar and is essential for expressing past actions clearly and concisely.
