Questions & Answers about Minä vien tietokoneen työhuoneeseen.
Why does työhuone get the -seen ending here?
The word työhuone (study or workroom) ends in the letter -e. In Finnish, when a basic noun ends in -e, its illative ("into") ending is always -seen. That is why "into the study" becomes työhuoneeseen.
Why is the computer written as tietokoneen instead of its basic form tietokone?
The computer is the object of the sentence because it is the thing being taken. Since you are taking the entire computer, it gets the -n object ending to show that the action is complete.
What is the dictionary form of vien and what does it exactly mean?
The dictionary form is viedä. It specifically means to take something away from your current location to another place. If you were bringing the computer toward yourself instead of taking it away, you would use the verb tuoda.
How do the compound words tietokone and työhuone translate literally?
Tietokone combines tieto (knowledge or data) and kone (machine). Työhuone combines työ (work) and huone (room). Breaking down long Finnish words like this makes them much easier to learn!
