(indefinite) something. (indefinite, adjectival) some, one, a. what have you Fin:Nyt tarvittaisiin vasara tai jotain.Eng:Now we need a hammer or what have you. Show more arrow right In colloquial Finnish, the paradigms of jokin (used of non-human referents in the standard language) and joku (for human referents) have merged. Thus, colloquially, the word joku is used for the nominative singular and its plural form jotkut is used for the nominative plural when referring to both human and non-human referents, but for all other case categories, the forms originating in the paradigm of jokin (above) are used. This leads to the following pairs in colloquial usage:joku mies / jollekin miehellesome man / to some manjoku pöytä / jollekin pöydällesome table / onto some tableand the following pairs in formal usage according to the standard language:joku mies / jollekulle miehelle(meanings as above)jokin pöytä / jollekin pöydälle(meanings as above) Show more arrow right jollakin tavalla (adessive sg.) = somehowsomeway (or another)in some way (or another)(in) one way or anotherby some means Show more arrow right Pronoun stem jo- (see joka) + enclitic particle -kin.

Wiktionary

that / who / which 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 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. Show more arrow right From the pronominal stem jo- + the suffix -ka. The stem jo- is from Proto-Finnic jo (pronominal stem), from Proto-Finno-Permic jo. Related to Karelian joka, Votic jõka, Northern Sami juogọ, Erzya юза тоза (juza toza) and Eastern Mari юж (ûž).
