Questions & Answers about Ne tulee bileisiin ylihuomenna.
Why is the verb tulee in the singular form when the subject is "they"?
In spoken Finnish (puhekieli), the third-person plural pronoun ne (they) always takes the third-person singular verb form. So instead of the standard he tulevat, you will almost always hear ne tulee.
Doesn't ne usually refer to things and animals, not people?
In standard written Finnish (kirjakieli), yes: he is for people and ne is for things or animals. However, in everyday spoken Finnish, people almost universally use ne for both people and things.
Is bileisiin a standard word for "party"?
No, bileet is a very common colloquial word for a party, whereas juhlat is the standard word. Since bileet is always a plural word, bileisiin is in the plural illative (into) case, matching the English "to the party".
The lesson is about contracted verbs. Does tulee contract in spoken Finnish?
The third-person form tulee stays the same, but the first and second person forms do contract! In spoken language, "I come" (minä tulen) becomes mä tuun, and "you come" (sinä tulet) becomes sä tuut.
