Questions & Answers about Jokaiseen lahjoitukseen liittyy unelma.
Why are both jokaiseen and lahjoitukseen in the illative case?
The verb liittyä (to be connected to, to relate to) requires the thing you are connected to be in the illative case (the into case). Because jokainen (every) modifies the noun lahjoitus (donation), they must match in case.
How do we form the illative word jokaiseen from jokainen?
Like other Finnish words ending in -nen, the ending changes to -se- before adding case suffixes. This gives us the stem jokaise-. The illative ending for this stem is a lengthened vowel plus -n, resulting in jokaiseen.
Why does the noun lahjoitus change to lahjoitukseen?
Lahjoitus is a noun ending in -us. For most words in this group, the -us changes to -ukse- when adding a case ending. Adding the illative ending to lahjoitukse- gives us lahjoitukseen.
Why does the sentence start with the donation and end with the subject unelma?
In Finnish, the beginning of the sentence usually sets the context (the known information), while the end introduces the new information. By putting unelma at the end, the sentence emphasizes that a dream is the new, important thing connected to the donation.
