suhtevorme

Suhtevorme, also known as relative clauses, are grammatical structures used in many languages to provide additional information about a noun or pronoun. They typically begin with a relative pronoun, such as "who," "whom," "whose," "which," or "that," and they modify the noun or pronoun they follow. Suhtevorme can be used to answer questions like "Whose?" "Which?" or "Who?" about the noun they modify.

There are two main types of suhtevorme: defining and non-defining. Defining suhtevorme provide essential information about the noun and are usually set off by commas or brackets. For example, "The man who lives next door is my neighbor." Non-defining suhtevorme provide additional, non-essential information and are typically set off by commas or dashes. For example, "My neighbor, who lives next door, is very friendly."

Suhtevorme can also be classified based on their structure. Restrictive suhtevorme limit the noun they modify, while non-restrictive suhtevorme do not. For example, in "The book that I read was interesting," the suhtevorme "that I read" restricts the noun "book" to only those books that the speaker read. In contrast, "The book, which I read, was interesting" does not restrict the noun "book."

Suhtevorme are a fundamental aspect of many languages' grammar and are used to create complex sentences and convey detailed information. They are found in various forms across different languages, each with its own set of rules and conventions.
