Questions & Answers about Huone viisi on täällä.
Why do we say huone viisi instead of viisi huonetta?
When you are counting things (like "five rooms"), the number comes first and changes the noun into a special form called the partitive case, making it viisi huonetta. But when a number is used as a label or identifier (like "Room five"), the number comes after the noun and both words stay in their basic dictionary forms.
If it were "Room ten", would the verb on change to the plural form?
No, the verb stays singular. Even though the number is bigger, you are still only talking about one single room. "Room ten is here" would be Huone kymmenen on täällä.
I remember seeing tässä for "here". Why does this sentence use täällä?
Both words mean "here", but they describe different sized areas. Täällä is used for a broader area, like saying "around here" or "somewhere in this building/hallway". Tässä is used for a very specific, exact spot right at your fingertips.
Should viisi be capitalized since it acts like a title here?
No. Finnish uses capital letters much less often than English. Unless a word starts a sentence or is a proper name (like a person or a city), it is written in lowercase. Therefore, "Room five" is written as huone viisi.
