Questions & Answers about Me luotamme monimutkaisempaan logiikkaan.
Why do both monimutkaisempaan and logiikkaan end in the illative case?
This is determined by the verb luottaa (to trust). In Finnish, this verb requires its target to be in the illative case (the "into" case). While in English you trust someone or trust in something, in Finnish you grammatically trust into something. Both the noun (logiikka) and the adjective describing it must take this illative ending.
How do you break down the form monimutkaisempaan?
The base adjective is monimutkainen (complex). Its word stem is monimutkaise-. To make it comparative ("more complex"), we add the comparative marker, which takes the form -mpa- in the middle of a word (from the basic ending -mpi). Finally, we add the illative ending -an to match the noun it describes, resulting in monimutkaisempaan.
Where does the word monimutkainen come from?
It is a compound built from moni (many) + mutka (bend, curve, or corner) + the common adjective ending -inen. So, something that is complex or complicated is literally described as "having many bends"!
Since the verb is luotamme, is it necessary to include the pronoun me?
No, you can safely leave it out. Because the verb ending -mme already clearly indicates "we", dropping the pronoun to just say Luotamme... is extremely common and natural. Including me here simply adds a bit of emphasis to the subject, implying "We trust..." (perhaps contrasting with others who don't).
