This exercise contains existential sentences. Pay attention to the word order: in Finnish existential sentences usually start with the location, which means you will have the flip the word order when translating!

This exercise contains interrogative sentences (kysymyslause). You can take a closer look at the interrogative pronouns (e.g. who, what, where, when) here. Note that I have a lot of other interrogative question exercises here!

This exercise contains interrogative sentences (kysymyslause). Change the word order so the verb is at the beginning of the question and add KO or KÖ to the end of the verb according to vowel harmony.

This exercise contains interrogative sentences (kysymyslause) with the KO/KÖ element added to the main verb, which becomes the first word of the sentence. Maintain the same word order and don’t emit any words!

This exercise contains possessive sentences (omistuslause or minulla on-lause in Finnish). This sentence type expresses that someone has or owns something. These sentences use the adessive case (-lla/llä) for the person, the third person singular of the verb olla, and the basic form, partitive, T-plural or plural partitive for the object. You won’t need the T-plural or the plural partitive in this exercise.

Translate these sentences using the minulla on -sentence construction!

Make necessity sentences! Put the subject in the genitive case and the verb in the basic form!

I have many more exercises on this topic here, if you want to practice this sentence type some more.

In this exercise, you’re rephrasing regular sentences into generic sentences by starting with the location or an object (look at the example given) and putting the verb in the third person singular.

For “verb + verb sentences”, you need to have a grasp on how verbs are chained together. For verb + verb sentences, you will mainly need to know the verbs for the following groups:

• Infinitive verb rections (eg. haluan mennä, en voi odottaa)
• Third infinitive verb rections (eg. menen syömään, käyn syömässä, palaan syömästä)
• Fourth infinitive verb rections (eg. aloitan lukemisen, pidän lukemisesta, harrastan lukemista)

I have a lot of exercises on this topic already here.

Drag the words into the right sentences to form an “on hauskaa” sentence!

Can you recognize what sentence type these examples represent?

Click the right form between square brackets in each sentence. Be careful not to click any of the other words.

All of these sentences have a mistake in them. Write the whole sentence again without the mistake! I’ve added some hints for part of the sentences to help you out.
