nominalisointisuffixin

Nominalisointisuffiksi is a suffix used in Finnish to convert verbs into nouns. It is one of the most common and productive suffixes in the Finnish language, allowing for the creation of a wide range of nouns from verbs. The suffix is typically added to the base form of the verb, and it can indicate various meanings such as the act of performing the verb, the result of the verb, or the state of being engaged in the verb.

The most common form of the nominalisointisuffiksi is -minen, which is added to the base form of the verb to create a noun that denotes the act of performing the verb. For example, the verb "juoda" (to drink) becomes "juominen" (drinking) when the suffix is added. Other forms of the suffix include -minen, -minen, -minen, and -minen, each with slightly different meanings and usage.

The nominalisointisuffiksi is an important tool in Finnish grammar, as it allows for the creation of new words and the expression of complex ideas. It is also a key feature of the Finnish language's rich and productive morphology, which allows for the creation of a vast number of words from a relatively small set of roots and affixes.
