Well, Jonne hasn't been on the forum for a long time and I don't know when Hevosnaama will be online again so as their Swedish neighbor I'll help out a little.
You wondered how Suomi could be Suomessa in inessiivi and why it wasn't Suomissa. That's a very logical question since Ruotsi (Sweden) and Japani (Japan) become Ruotsissa and Japanissa. Jonne hasn't made a typo and he hasn't explained why you say Suomessa for "in Finland". The reason I think is that Suomi is an old i-word but Ruotsi and Japani are new i-words so their case endings differ a little. You can read about the declension of other nouns in this excellent online course where you can also listen to spoken Finnish: Tavataan taas! |
