Questions & Answers about Minä teen koko tehtävän huomenna.
Why does tehtävä have an -n at the end here?
This is the object ending you are learning about in this lesson! Because you are going to do the entire task (a total, completed action), the base word tehtävä (task) takes the -n ending to show that the action will be completely finished.
Shouldn't koko also get an -n ending to match tehtävän?
Normally, yes! In Finnish, adjectives usually take the same endings as the nouns they describe. However, koko (whole/entire) is a special exception that never changes its form. It always stays exactly as koko, no matter what ending the noun has.
The translation says "I will do", but isn't teen present tense?
Yes, teen means "I do" or "I am doing". Finnish doesn't have a separate future tense. Instead, you just use the present tense along with a future time word like huomenna (tomorrow). Using the total object ending (-n) on tehtävän also strongly signals that this is a complete action that will be finished in the future.
Where does the word huomenna come from?
It is built using the -na ending, which is often used to tell you when something happens. You will see this same ending on days of the week, like maanantaina (on Monday). For now, it is easiest to just memorize huomenna as a fixed word meaning "tomorrow".
