Questions & Answers about Ootko sä pudottanu kaks läppäriä?
How did oletko become ootko in this sentence?
In spoken Finnish (puhekieli), the verb olet (you are / you have) often shrinks to oot. When you add the question ending -ko, it becomes ootko instead of the formal written form, oletko.
Why is the word pudottanu missing a -t at the end?
In spoken Finnish, the final -t of the past participle (like pudottanut, meaning "dropped") is almost always left out. So pudottanut becomes pudottanu, tehnyt becomes tehny, and so on.
Is kaks just a shortened version of kaksi?
Exactly. Just like the missing -t in verbs, spoken Finnish often drops the final -i from the numbers yksi (one) and kaksi (two), turning them into yks and kaks.
