Questions & Answers about Minne me menemme tänään?

What exactly does minne mean, and how is it different from missä and mihin?

All three are location-related question words, but they ask about different kinds of location:

• minne = to where? (direction, where something is going)
• missä = where? (location, where something is/stays)
• mistä = from where? (origin, where something comes from)
• mihin = also to where? (very close in meaning to minne)

In your sentence:

• Minne me menemme tänään? = To where are we going today? → direction / destination

Typical contrasts:

• Missä me olemme? – Where are we? (location)
• Minne me menemme? – Where are we going (to)? (direction)
• Mistä me tulemme? – Where are we coming from? (origin)

Both minne and mihin can often be used for to where?; minne is a bit more general and common in everyday speech in many areas.

If menemme already means we go, why do we also say me (we)? Is me optional?
