Questions & Answers about Minun kokemukseni on, että hän siivoaa huolellisesti.
How is the adverb huolellisesti formed?
It comes from the adjective huolellinen (careful). To make an adverb out of an adjective ending in -nen, you change the -nen to -se- to get the stem, and then add the adverb suffix -sti. So, huolellinen becomes huolellise- + -sti = huolellisesti (carefully).
Why does the word for experience, kokemus, look like kokemukseni here?
The -ni at the end is a possessive suffix meaning "my". When adding a possessive suffix to a word ending in -us like kokemus, you use its stem form kokemukse-. Combined with the word minun, it makes minun kokemukseni (my experience).
Could I just say minun kokemus without the -ni on the end?
In casual spoken Finnish, yes! People frequently say minun kokemus or mun kokemus. However, standard written Finnish rules require you to use the possessive suffix (-ni) when you use a genitive pronoun like minun.
