Finnish impersonal verbs
Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Rua
If they are possible, then they should be shown because someone might occasionally use them. A sentence like "we rained down on them like hailstones" is perfectly valid in English and not at all illogical, just poetic. The same probably applies for Finnish?
@Hekaheka, CodeCat Sorry for commenting so late, but: it depends on attestation, doesn't it? Some verbs are probably used poetically outside of the third person, others aren't. For the ones that are truly impersonal, it should indeed be possible to suppress the invalid first- and second-person forms... compare regnen (used poetically in the first and second person) and fisseln (only used in the third person).
