Questions & Answers about Aseman vieressä on pieni kioski, josta ostan vettä.
Why is it aseman and not asema?
Because vieressä is a postposition, and many Finnish postpositions require the word before them to be in the genitive case.
- asema = station
- aseman = of the station / station’s
So:
- aseman vieressä = next to the station
This is a very common pattern in Finnish:
- talon edessä = in front of the house
- kaupan takana = behind the shop
- koulun lähellä = near the school
