Finnish Lesson 25: When to Use the Partitive Singular (A1-A2) 

Ole hyvä. Great to hear the video was helpful. Thank you for the comment❤️

Hi there! They can both be either countable or uncountable nouns, for example: I bought some bread (leipää, uncountable > partitive object); I bought a loaf of bread (leivän, countable > object genitive); Buy a loaf of bread! (leipä > object nominative). Hope this helps! Ps. My name is Minna

So sorry for the mix up of your name. I have been watching other RU-vidrs to better understand this partitive. I think I understand better now with your explanation. Thank you so much minna.

@@ogezieNot to worry! Thanks for watching and commenting👍🏻 If you want to study more about the partitive (including partitive verbs and also plural), take a look at this playlist on my other channel. The videos are in Finnish, but they have subtitles. Best of luck with your studies! ru-vid.com/group/PLGRY7VkukiA6eXSEBd3xFp9ofBGbFYKpi&si=d2W-MMAhQoczsswL

Great! Lovely to hear this👍🏻☀️

Thanks for suggesting! I’ll put that on the list, too👍🏻

Sure! The partitive ending in words such as 'uusi' and 'kieli' is -ta/-tä because it is attached to the consonant stem. The same happens also with the word 'vuosi'. I'll cover this and more in the following video. Ps. My name is Minna.
