that / who / which in context: As a relative pronoun, joka only tends to refer to the previous word or phrase, as opposed to a whole sentence (like mikä). In colloquial usage, this distinction is usually not as clear-cut. Fin: Ostin uuden puhelimen, joka on toiminut hyvin.Eng: I bought a new phone that has been working well. ("that" refers to the phone) Fin: Ostin uuden puhelimen, mikä oli ihan hyvä kokemus. Eng: I bought a new phone, which was quite a good experience. ("which" refers to the purchase) |
that / who / which in context: In Eastern Finnish dialects, the indeclinable stem -ka is still used and, thus, the pronoun forms with -ka can occur in standard Finnish on occasion, because it is not a big error to use it: joidenka, jotenka, joihinka, jonneka etc. |
every, each Fin: Hän käy lenkillä joka päivä. Eng: She goes jogging every day. Fin: joka kerta Eng: every time Fin: joka puolella/puolelta/puolelle, joka paikassa/paikasta/paikkaan Eng: everywhere Fin: joka tapauksessa Eng: in any case, at any rate Fin: joka toinen vuosi Eng: every two years, biennially |

A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water. Small rivers can be referred to using names such as stream, creek, brook, rivulet, and rill.
