A brief overview of the grammar of Finnish. In this video I’ll go through the central pieces of Finnish grammar-phonological processes, case inflection, verbal forms, word order and much more-to give you an understanding and a feeling for how Finnish grammar functions on a more systematic level. After watching this, you should be well prepared to take on the more specific details of Finnish grammar in your further studies!
ERRATA
- At 01:29, the 'e' in 'tulevaisuus' should be colored gold, as it's a neutral and not a back vowel.
- At 12:37, one negative form is given as 'tietä'. This should of course be 'tiedä', like the rest of them.
