Questions & Answers about He löysivät avaruudesta mullistavimman innovaation.
How is the superlative participle mullistavimman built from the root verb?
It starts with the verb mullistaa (to revolutionize). We first form the present active participle mullistava (revolutionary). Its superlative form ("most revolutionary") is mullistavin. Because it describes the total object of the sentence, it must be in the accusative case. The stem of mullistavin is mullistavimma-, and adding the -n object marker gives us mullistavimman.
Why does the sentence use avaruudesta (from space) when the English translation says "in space"?
Why do mullistavimman and innovaation end in -n instead of being in the partitive case?
They form the total object of the sentence. The act of finding is a completed action resulting in a fully achieved goal. For singular nouns and their modifiers, the total object takes the accusative case, which is marked by an -n ending, making it look identical to the genitive case.
