Primääreihin

Primääreihin is a Finnish term that translates to "primary" or "first" in English. It is a grammatical concept used in Finnish linguistics to describe the fundamental or original form of a word or grammatical element. This can refer to the base form of a noun, verb, or adjective before any suffixes or prefixes are added.

By identifying the primääreihin form, one can better analyze how different grammatical functions are expressed through suffixes. It is also relevant in lexicography, where dictionaries typically list words in their primääreihin form. The study of primääreihin helps learners of Finnish grasp the underlying structure of the language and how words change to fit different contexts. This foundational understanding is crucial for accurate comprehension and production of Finnish sentences.
