Questions & Answers about Nämä ovat ne hankkeet, jotka rahoitettaneen eduskunnassa.
How do we form the passive potential rahoitettaneen from the verb rahoittaa?
First, look at the regular passive present form of rahoittaa (to finance), which is rahoitetaan. To make it potential ("will probably be financed"), replace the passive ending -taan with the passive potential marker -ttaneen. Because the passive stem is rahoiteta-, we attach -neen to it, resulting in rahoitettaneen.
Why does the sentence use ne hankkeet instead of just hankkeet?
Finnish lacks articles like the English word "the". However, the plural pronoun ne (those) is frequently used as a determiner to point out specific, previously mentioned items. Here, it acts just like a definite article to emphasize the specific projects being discussed.
Why is the relative pronoun jotka used here rather than mitkä?
The relative pronoun joka (plural jotka) must be used when referring directly back to a preceding noun, which in this sentence is ne hankkeet (the projects). You would use mikä (plural mitkä) if you were referring to a whole preceding sentence, a superlative, or abstract pronouns like kaikki.
