Questions & Answers about Me emme suostuisi siihen.
How do we form the negative conditional in emme suostuisi?
To express "would not", you use the conjugated negative verb (here, emme for "we") followed by the conditional form of the main verb. The conditional is built using the -isi- marker.
Why isn't there a "we" ending on the main verb, like suostuisimme?
In Finnish negative sentences, the negative verb (emme) already shows who is doing the action. The main verb drops its personal ending (-mme), leaving just the base conditional stem suostuisi. This word stays exactly the same no matter who is speaking: minä en suostuisi, hän ei suostuisi, and so on.
What is the dictionary form of the verb here?
The dictionary form is suostua (to agree, to consent). When creating the conditional stem, the final vowel -a is dropped before adding the -isi- marker, which gives us suostuisi.
Why is "to it" translated as siihen?
Certain Finnish verbs demand a specific case for the words attached to them. The verb suostua requires the target of the agreement to be in the illative case (the "into" case). Siihen is the illative form of the pronoun se (it). In Finnish, you literally agree "into" something!
