toinfinitiivimuoto

Toinfinitiivimuoto, also known as the "to-infinitive form" or "infinitive form," is a grammatical structure used in many languages, including Finnish, to express the basic form of a verb without any tense or person. In Finnish, the to-infinitive form is formed by adding the suffix "-a" to the base form of the verb. For example, the verb "juoda" (to drink) in its to-infinitive form is "juoda." This form is often used in various contexts, such as in the formation of imperative sentences, passive voice constructions, and in certain types of subordinate clauses. The to-infinitive form is also used in the formation of compound tenses and in expressing purpose or intention. Understanding the to-infinitive form is essential for mastering Finnish grammar and effectively communicating in the language.
