samainen

Samainen is a Finnish word that translates to "same" or "identical." It is used to indicate that two or more things are alike or are of the same kind. For example, one might say "ne ovat samainen" which means "they are the same." The word can also be used in a more abstract sense, referring to a shared characteristic or quality.

The usage of samainen can vary slightly depending on context. When referring to objects or people, it emphasizes their identical nature. In more abstract contexts, it can imply a shared experience or feeling. It is a common word in everyday Finnish conversation and writing.

Samainen is an adjective that modifies a noun. It is inflected to agree with the noun in number and case. For example, "samainen kirja" means "the same book," while "samaiset kirjat" means "the same books." The word itself does not have a direct English equivalent that perfectly captures all its nuances, but "same" is the most frequent and straightforward translation.
