Questions & Answers about Voisitko kertoa minulle, milloin tulet tapaamiseen?

Why does the sentence start with Voisitko instead of Voitko?

Voisitko is the conditional form of voida (“can, to be able to”). It conveys a more polite or softer request, similar to saying Could you instead of Can you in English. The -ko ending turns it into a yes/no question.

How is the word minulle being used here?

Minulle is in the allative case (literally meaning “to me”). In this sentence, it indicates that the speaker wants the information directed to them.

Why do we have a comma before milloin tulet tapaamiseen?

In Finnish, indirect questions (like asking when you are coming as part of a larger sentence) are usually separated from the main clause by a comma. It helps clarify that this is one part of the sentence embedded in another.

What exactly does tapaamiseen mean in this context?

Tapaaminen means “meeting.” The form tapaamiseen is the illative case, indicating movement toward or noting the meeting as a destination (e.g., “into the meeting” or “to the meeting”).

Could you replace milloin with kun?

No. Kun is a conjunction meaning “when” in a temporal clause (like “I will go when I have time”). In an indirect question about at what time you are coming, milloin is correct. Kun would change the meaning and is not used for questions.
