kakkosmuoto

Kakkosmuoto, also known as the second case or genitive case, is a grammatical case used in the Finnish language to indicate possession, origin, or association. It is one of the 15 cases in the Finnish case system, which is a unique feature of the language. The genitive case is formed by adding the suffix "-n" to the nominative form of the noun. For example, the word "kissa" (cat) in the genitive case becomes "kissan" (of the cat). This case is used to express relationships between nouns, such as in the phrase "kissan häntä" (the cat's tail), where "kissan" indicates that the tail belongs to the cat. The genitive case is also used to indicate the origin or source of something, as in "Suomen kieli" (the language of Finland). In addition to nouns, the genitive case can also be used with pronouns, adjectives, and verbs. Overall, the genitive case is an essential aspect of Finnish grammar, allowing for precise and nuanced expressions of relationships and associations.
