Do you have any tips on how to remember grammar?? Like rhymes/songs/whatever, just to make it easier to remember??
well for cases there’s this nice trick. for e.g. AUTO (singular form)Minulla on auto - I have a car (nominative)
Ostin auton - I bought a car (genetive)
Ajan autoa - I’m driving a car (partitive)
these are the grammatical cases.
next the inlocational cases, ‘cause when you use them you are “inside” the object. so -ssa, -ssä, -sta, -stä, -oon:
Olen autossa - I’m in the car (inessive)
Hyppäsin autosta - I hopped off of the car (elative)
Menin autoon - I went in to the car (illative)
Next ones are the “outlocational” cases: you use them when you’re at or around the object: -lla, -llä / -lta, -ltä / -lle
Olen autolla - I’m at the car (adessive)
Tulin autolta - I came from the car (ablative)
Menin autolle - I went to the car (allative)
And then the more seldom cases that you wont be needing that often and that we seldom use: essive “-na,-nä”, translative “-ksi” and abessive “-tta, -ttä”
autona (essive) - as a car
autoksi (translative) - (something transforms) into a car
autotta (abessive) - without a car
instruktive and komitative that you use only with plural forms.
INSTRUKTIVE: autoin - by cars (p.s. this also means “I helped.”)
KOMITATIVE: autoineen - by their cars
So how I learned these (’cause well as well as we know Finnish we have no glue about the grammar, we had to learn the cases for school too. I just repeated the mantra as they are often listed. So when I remembered one word and knew how to share it into different cases, I knew which case I was using.
auto, auton, autoa, autossa, autosta, autoon, autolla, autolta, autolle, autona, autoksi, autotta (autoin, autoineen)
nominative, genetive, partitive, inessive, elative, illative, adessive, ablative, allative, essive, translative, abessive (instruktive, komitative)
And I don’t know if it helps you at all to listen to our ABC-song in Finnish, helps one realize how we pronounce some words and vowels and for e.g. ä ö å :)
here’s a link to one funny one haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g71jPoujB_M (there seems to be also the happy birthday song in Finnish and much more haha)
And well other grammar hmm..
I’d probably just try to find examples of every word from every conjugation group. Like with cases for example, I’d use a word that has an Ä in it too.
päivä, päivän, päivää, (akkusative: päivä;päivän), päivässä, päivästä, päivään, päivällä, päivältä, päivälle, päivänä, päiväksi, päivättä (päivin, päivineen)
And well basically we make the sentences like
(subject, predicate, object, – The way of doing, Place of doing, And the timing)
Minä olen ihminen, aivan kuten sinäkin täällä olet.
I am a human, just like you here are too.
(predicate, subject, object)
But I think in Finnish you can pretty much use the words in any order you want to, and will be totally understood. Just the sound and “shade” kinda changes. But this SPOTPA and PSO in question sentence are the ones you should be using.
I suggest listening to Disney songs sung in Finnish, they use proper and clear Finnish (the old ones) and it’d be maybe easier to learn some sentence orders, when you get to hear someone using them.
I hope I could help you even a little bit! If you have any more questions, go ahead and ask!
hopefully even some of the things helped you and made sense.
