Questions & Answers about Vertaileminen on helppoa, jos teet tilauksen nyt.
How do you form the word vertaileminen?
It comes from the verb vertailla (to compare). To make this type of verbal noun, you take the strong vowel stem of the verb, which is vertaile-, and add the suffix -minen. It translates to an "-ing" noun in English, as in "comparing".
Why is helppoa in the partitive case here rather than the basic form helppo?
In Finnish, when the subject of the sentence is a verbal noun (like vertaileminen) or an infinitive verb, the adjective describing it must be in the partitive case. Because "comparing" is an abstract concept rather than a concrete, physical object, it takes the partitive ending -a.
Why is the word for "order" written as tilauksen?
The basic dictionary word is tilaus. For many words ending in -us, the stem changes to -ukse- before adding endings. Here, it takes the -n ending because it is the object of the sentence and the action is considered a complete whole: you are making the entire order.
What is the dictionary form of the verb teet?
The dictionary form is tehdä (to make / to do). This is a very common irregular verb belonging to verb type 2. The stem for "you make" is tee-, which gives us the conjugated form teet.
