Questions & Answers about Minne tämä juna menee?
Why use minne instead of missä for "where"?
In Finnish, you have to choose your "where" word based on movement. Missä means "where at" (staying in one place). Because the train is moving towards a destination, we must use minne, which means "where to".
Why is there a double vowel at the end of menee?
The dictionary form of the verb is mennä (to go). For the "he/she/it" form (like "the train"), Finnish verbs usually double their last vowel. The base stem here is mene-, so adding the extra vowel makes it menee (it goes).
Why isn't there a word for "does" in this sentence?
Finnish does not use helper verbs like "do" or "does" to form questions. Instead, you just start with the question word (minne), followed by the subject (tämä juna) and the main verb (menee).
