Finnish Grammar - Adjectives

Adjectives

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.

For example, here are some adjectives:

Finnish English
'iso' 'big'
'pieni' 'small'
'punainen' 'red'

And here are some examples of adjectives inflected to agree with nouns:

Finnish English
'iso|n talo|n edessä 'in front of the big house'
'kaksi pien|tä talo|a' 'two small houses'
'punaise|ssa talo|ssa' 'in the red house'

Notice that the adjectives undergo the same sorts of stem changes when they are inflected as nouns do.
