Questions & Answers about Me aiomme harjoitella tänään.
Why is harjoitella in its basic dictionary form here?
This sentence uses a verb chain. The first verb, aiomme (we intend), is conjugated to match the subject me (we). The second verb, harjoitella (to practise), stays in its basic infinitive form. This is exactly how desiderative verbs like haluta (to want) and aikoa (to intend) work when followed by another action.
I learned that the subject changes to meidän in this lesson. Why is it just me here?
You only use the genitive case like meidän for the subject when expressing obligation with verbs like täytyy (must). Because aikoa (to intend) just expresses a plan rather than a strict obligation, it works like a normal verb and takes a basic nominative subject (me).
What is the basic form of aiomme?
The dictionary form is aikoa (to intend / to plan). When you conjugate it for "we", the k drops out to make aiomme. This is due to consonant gradation, a very common spelling pattern when adding endings to Type 1 verbs.
Is the word me strictly required in this sentence?
No, you can simply say Aiomme harjoitella tänään. The -mme ending on the verb already tells the listener that "we" are doing the action. Finns often drop minä (I) and me (we) in everyday speech unless they want to add special emphasis to the pronoun.
