Questions & Answers about Ketterä ryhmä onnistuu hyvin tehtävien priorisoimisessa.
Why is the word for "prioritizing" in the inessive case (priorisoimisessa)?
The verb onnistua (to succeed) requires the word expressing what you succeed at to be in the inessive case (-ssa or -ssä). When that thing is an action, we use the 4th infinitive (-minen) and put it into the inessive, giving us -misessa.
Why is the word for "tasks" in the genitive plural (tehtävien)?
The word priorisoimisessa acts like a noun here (the prioritizing). In Finnish, when a verbal noun has a logical object, that target is placed in the genitive case. Literally, this sentence translates to succeeding "in the prioritizing of the tasks".
Could I use the regular noun priorisoinnissa instead of priorisoimisessa?
Yes, you can! Both priorisoimisessa (the 4th infinitive) and priorisoinnissa (the standard noun form) are perfectly natural here. They mean the same thing, though the -minen form can sometimes emphasize the ongoing process of the action a bit more.
What is the base verb for priorisoimisessa and how is this specific form built?
