	Finnish grammar numbers (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Numbers in Finnish are highly systematic, but they can throw a few surprises too.
		Long numbers (like 32534756) are separated in three numbers sections with space beginning from the end of the number (for example 32 534 756).
		Numbers can be inflected in cases; all parts of the number except 'toista' are inflected.

	Finnish grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Finnish language does not distinguish gender in nouns or even in personal pronouns: 'hän' = 'he' or 'she' depending on the referent.
		Adjectives in Finnish are inflected in exactly the same way as nouns, and an adjective must agree in number and case with the noun it is modifying.
		Finnish verbs are usually divided into six groups depending on the stem type.

	Encyclopedia: Finnish grammar numbers
		These are the ordinary counting numbers: here are 1 to 10: In linguistics, cardinal numbers is the name given to number words that are used for quantity (one, two, three), as opposed to ordinal numbers, words that are used for order (first, second, third).
		Ordinal numbers are generally formed by adding an '-s' ending, but 'first' and 'second' are completely different, and for the others then stems are not straightforward: Ordinal numbers, or ordinals for short, are numbers used to denote the position in an ordered sequence: first, second, third, fourth, etc....
		Since Finnish verbs are inflected for person, personal pronouns are not required for sense and are usually omitted in written Finnish except where used for emphasis.

	Encyclopedia: Ordinal number
		In mathematics, ordinal numbers are an extension of the natural numbers to accommodate infinite sequences, introduced by Georg Cantor in 1897.
		Ordinal numbers, or ordinals for short, are numbers used to denote the position in an ordered sequence: first, second, third, fourth, etc. The mathematician Georg Cantor showed in 1897 how to extend this concept beyond the natural numbers to the infinite and how to do arithmetic with these transfinite ordinals.
		A natural number can be used for two purposes: to describe the size of a set, or to describe the position of an element in a sequence.

	A Very Short Finnish Grammar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Finnish has a relatively simple relationship between spelling and pronunciation: generally, each letter corresponds to exactly one sound, and a letter is doubled to indicate a long sound.
		Finnish has an unusually large number of cases, although many of them are equivalent to the use of a preposition in many other languages.
		Finnish has a number of enclitic particles that, when needed, are suffixed to a word after all other suffixes have been added.

		Finnish is spoken by about 6 million people, mainly in Finland; there are small Finnish-speaking minorities in Sweden, Norway, Russia and Estonia; in addition, a few hundred thousand immigrated Finns live in Sweden, and also in North America there remain communities of Finnish speaking immigrants.
		Finnish is an agglutinative language and an inflected language which modifies both noun and verb forms depending on their role in the sentence.
		Finnish and Swedish (which in the late 17th century was decreed the sole language of government) were small languages of lesser importance.

	Talk:Finnish grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		I was once told by a young Finnish lady (who might well have been tweaking my nose) that it is possible to construct a single word in Finnish meaning "notwithstanding his total inability to make toast without burning it to a crisp".
		The longest grammatically correct Finnish non-compound word I have seen is "epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellensäkäänkö", but that word doesn't have any practical useses and is almost impossible to translate.
		I would think that should read "while she is doing" or alternatively the Finnish should be changed.

	Finnish language grammar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		There are separate articles covering the sound patterns of Finnish, and the ways in which spoken Finnish differs from the formal grammar of the written language.
		In fact, the Finnish passive would be better described as a "vaguely personal" form since there is no way of connecting the action performed with a particular agent and hence there is only one form of the passive.
		In modern spoken Finnish, the passive form of the verb is used after "me" to mean "we do {something}" ("me tullaan" = "we are coming") and on its own at the beginning of a sentence to mean "let's..." ("mennään!" = "let's go!").

		As an institution whose courses are funded by the Finnish Ministry of Labour, I asked her about the kinds of students they have had since they began operating in the 1970s.
		Finnish language teaching is spread across a variety of levels and reflects the bureaucratic nature of the Finnish welfare system.
		While in principal Finnish is no harder than any other language to learn, the ways in which it is taught to foreigners remains a source of much consternation and frustration for many immigrants to this country.

		If a word is a number or a pronoun, which refers to a number, the genitive stem is formed by replacing the s by nne.
		The genitive stem of the numbers from 7 to 10 and from 17 to 19 is formed by omitting the n.

		Finnish is an agglutinative language -- that is, words are inflected or conjugated through "gluing" new endings, each of which has adds its own meaning, to basic word forms.
		The rest of the book is just as magnificent at explaining the complexities of Finnish grammar intelligently and intelligibly, with scads of examples and numerous tables.
