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 |
