minä
Finnish
Pronunciation
Etymology 1
From Lua error in Module:parameters at line 95: Parameter 2 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value "fiu-fin-pro" is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E., from Proto-Uralic *minä. From the same base as the plural pronoun me, the possessive suffixes -ni and -mme and the first-person verb endings -n and -mme.
Pronoun
minä (stem minu-, colloquially mu-)
- (personal) I (1st person singular personal pronoun)
Usage notes
- Although often omitted in written language (the verb shows both the person and the number), the pronoun is in spoken language practically always used. (cf. the usage of me, "we")
Inflection
- Irregular. The comitative and instructive forms do not exist. Abessive is hardly ever used, use ilman minua and ilman meitä instead.
- In addition to the standard set of cases, minä and the other personal pronouns have a specific accusative form, in this case minut. This form would have been the nominative plural form of the first stem, if the word were not a personal pronoun.
