Questions & Answers about Haluan sekä rajattoman yhdistelmän että edun.
Do both things linked by sekä ... että need to be in the same case?
Yes! The phrase sekä ... että (both ... and) links two equal things. Because both the bundle and the benefit are the direct object of haluan (I want), both yhdistelmän and edun must take the exact same grammatical case.
Why do the objects rajattoman yhdistelmän and edun end in -n rather than being in the partitive?
When you want a whole, specific thing, the direct object takes the genitive-accusative case (ending in -n). If you just wanted "some" bundle or an unspecified amount, you would use the partitive case, but here you want the specific bundle and the specific benefit.
What is the base word for edun and why did the spelling change?
The base form is etu (benefit). When you add a closed syllable ending like -n, the word goes through consonant gradation. The strong consonant t weakens to a d, making it edun.
What is the dictionary form of rajattoman?
The base form is rajaton (unlimited). It is made from raja (limit) plus the suffix -ton (without). Words ending in -ton have a special rule: when you add an ending, the stem changes to -ttoma-, giving us rajattoman.
