Finnish

Etymology

• From the pronominal stem jo- + the suffix -ka/kä.

Pronoun

joka (stem jo-, see below)

1. (relative) who, which, that.

Usage notes

• In Eastern Finnish dialects, the indeclinable stem -ka is still used and, thus, the pronoun forms with -ka can occur in standard Finnish on occasion, because it is not a big error to use it:

• joidenka, jotenka, joihinka, jonneka etc.

Inflection

Irregular. Some cases are practically never used. The conjunction jos may be the lative singular of this pronoun.
