Why is aamulla used to say “in the morning”? What case is that?
Aamulla is the adessive case (stem aamu + -lla). In Finnish the adessive often expresses when something happens:
• illalla (in the evening)
• päivällä (during the day)
• viikolla (during the week)
How do you form the comparative vahvempi, and why doesn’t it take extra endings here?
Comparatives in Finnish add -mpi to the adjective stem:
• vahva (strong) → vahvempi (stronger) → vahvin (strongest).
As a predicate, the adjective simply takes the comparative form in nominative singular to agree with the subject: tunne (nominative sg) → vahvempi (nominative sg).
