määratlevat

Määratlevat is a Finnish word that translates to "definite" or "specific" in English. It is an adjective used to describe something that is clearly defined, particular, or exact. In Finnish grammar, määratlevat is often used to describe nouns that are definite or specific, as opposed to indefinite or general nouns. For example, "tämä kirja" (this book) uses määratlevat to specify a particular book, while "kirja" (a book) is indefinite and refers to any book in general. The use of määratlevat is an important aspect of Finnish grammar, helping to convey precision and clarity in communication. It is typically used with demonstrative pronouns such as "tämä" (this), "se" (that), "nämä" (these), and "ne" (those), as well as with possessive pronouns like "minun" (my), "sinun" (your), and "hänen" (his/her/its). In some cases, määratlevat can also be used with numerals to specify a particular quantity, such as "kolme kirjaa" (three books) when referring to a specific set of three books.
