Questions & Answers about Kirjoitan postinumeron lapulle ja laitan sen taskuun.
Finnish usually drops personal pronouns because the verb ending already shows the person. Kirjoitan and laitan both mean I write / I put (1st person singular), so minä is optional and would mainly add emphasis/contrast.
Both verbs are in the present tense. In Finnish, the present often covers both I do and I am doing, depending on context:
- Kirjoitan postinumeron = I write / I’m writing the postal code.
Kirjoittaa is the 1st infinitive. To conjugate in the present:
- remove -a/-ä
- 1st person singular ending is -n So: kirjoitta- → kirjoita-n → kirjoitan.
