Questions & Answers about Täällä on yhteensä tasan kolmekymmentäkaksi omenaa.
Why is the verb on singular when we are talking about thirty-two apples?
In Finnish, sentences that start with a location (like täällä) to say that something exists there use the singular verb on, even if there are many things. Additionally, anytime a subject is a number other than one, the verb must be singular.
Why is the word for apple in the partitive form (omenaa)?
Any number greater than one requires the noun following it to be in the partitive singular form. Since we have kolmekymmentäkaksi (thirty-two), the basic dictionary form omena becomes omenaa.
What is the difference between täällä and tässä?
Both mean "here" in English, but täällä refers to a larger or less specific area, like a room or a building. Tässä is used for a very specific, small spot, like "right here in my hand" or "on this exact dot".
How is the long number word kolmekymmentäkaksi put together?
Finnish numbers are built very literally as a single long compound word. It combines kolme (three), kymmentä (the partitive form of ten, meaning "tens"), and kaksi (two). So it literally translates to "three tens two".
