ensimäistä

Ensimmäistä is a Finnish word. It is the partitive singular form of the word "ensimmäinen," which means "first" or "firstly." In Finnish grammar, the partitive case is used to indicate an indefinite object, a part of a whole, or in situations where something is being done for the first time. Therefore, "ensimmäistä" specifically refers to the first instance of something in a grammatical context where the partitive is required.

For example, one might say "Mä tein sen ensimmäistä kertaa" which translates to "I did it for the first time." Here, "ensimmäistä" is used to emphasize the novelty of the action. Another context could be referring to a part of something, like "näin ensimmäistä sivua kirjasta" meaning "I saw the first page of the book." The usage of "ensimmäistä" depends heavily on the surrounding sentence structure and the intended meaning, following the rules of Finnish declension. It signifies a singular, often introductory, occurrence or part.
