Questions & Answers about Tämä uusi käyttöjärjestelmä tulee mullistamaan markkinat vuonna 2025.
How do I read the year 2025 in this sentence, and does it decline?
You read it in its basic, uninflected form (the nominative): kaksituhattakaksikymmentäviisi. When you place the essive word vuonna (in the year) directly in front of a specific calendar year, the number itself stays in the nominative case. You don't need to put the long compound number into the essive case.
Why use tulee mullistamaan instead of just mullistaa?
Finnish doesn't have a dedicated future tense, so usually the present tense mullistaa (revolutionizes or will revolutionize) is enough. However, the tulee + 3rd infinitive illative (-maan) construction is used to heavily emphasize that something is certain to happen in the future. It sounds a bit formal or dramatic, which fits a bold claim like revolutionizing a market.
Why is markkinat in the plural here?
The Finnish word for market (in the broad economic sense, or as a physical marketplace) is a plural word: markkinat. Because it is the total object of this sentence, it takes the plural accusative form, which looks identical to the basic plural nominative.
How does the compound word käyttöjärjestelmä break down?
It is a compound of käyttö (use or usage) and järjestelmä (system), meaning operating system. At this level, you will start seeing järjestelmä attached to many words to describe complex mechanical or digital setups.
