Questions & Answers about Muutettaisiinkohan pelilautaa vielä?
Can you break down the exact order of the suffixes in muutettaisiinkohan?
It follows the strict Finnish suffix order: Verb stem (muute-) + Passive marker (-tta-) + Conditional mood (-isi-) + Passive personal ending (-in) + Question particle (-ko) + Wondering particle (-han).
Why does muutettaisiinkohan have a strong -tt-, whereas the present passive muutetaan has a weak -t-?
In Type 1 verbs like muuttaa, the present passive always takes the weak consonant grade (muutetaan). However, the passive past and passive conditional always use the strong grade, giving us the -tt- in muutettaisiin. Notice also that the final -a of the stem changes to -e before these passive suffixes.
Why are both -ko and -han attached to the verb, and does their order matter?
Yes, the order is strict. The question particle -ko must attach directly after the personal ending to create a yes/no question. The particle -han (which adds the wondering tone of 'I wonder if') is an enclitic that must come last. Reversing them to -hanko is grammatically incorrect.
Objects in passive sentences often take the nominative case. Why is pelilautaa in the partitive here?
