Well, what I said about partitive, was a sort of joke.
But I do not think the finnish case system is archaic. Actually it is
highly inovating. Neither do I think it is cumbersome.
I know two forign languages besides Norwegian and English, namely
Italian and Finnish. Actually I know much more Italian words than
finnish words. Nevertheless, I think it is much easier to form a
sentence in Finnish than Italian.
I also know some German, a language I find extreemly rigid and
cubersome.
I know it is not politicly correct to link language and technical
abilities, but nevertheless I think there is some connection.
