ABSTRACT

There often occur exceptional forms in the declension of pronouns: these are indicated below. Note in particular the pronouns joka ‘who, which’, mikä ‘which, what’ and tämä ‘this’, where the last syllable -ka, -kä, -mä occurs only in the nominative singular and plural and the genitive singular. In all other forms this syllable is dropped: cf. tämä ‘this’: tämä/n ‘of this’: tä/ssä ‘in this’: tä/llä ‘with this’, etc.
