Questions & Answers about Nautimme tänään paremmasta äänenlaadusta ja paljon vakaammasta yhteydestä.
Why are the adjectives and nouns in the elative case (-sta/-stä) here?
The verb nauttia (to enjoy) always requires the thing being enjoyed to be in the elative case. That is why both the nouns and their comparative adjectives have the -sta or -stä endings.
Why do the comparative adjectives paremmasta and vakaammasta have -mm- instead of -mp-?
The basic comparative ending is -mpi. When you add a case ending like -sta or -stä, it closes the final syllable. This triggers consonant gradation, weakening the strong -mp- to a weak -mm-. So, parempi becomes the stem paremma- and vakaampi becomes vakaamma- before adding the endings.
What is the base dictionary form of paremmasta?
The base word is hyvä (good). Just like in English (good turning into better), it is an irregular word in Finnish: hyvä becomes the comparative parempi (better).
How does the word yhteys (connection) turn into yhteydestä?
