Re: Got to thinkin' about word order

Hei juha

Actually, the problems, or aquardness describe in the finnish case
system, is exactly the same aquardness you find in english,
norwegian, german, italian prepositions.

The problems of knowing when to use inessive, or when to use adessive
is actually a Scandinavian common problem, because Norwegians have
exactly the same problems with the prepositions på, I and til.

But, if you compare the arsenal of finnish cases, prepositions and
postpositions with the arsenal of Norwegian or English prepositions,
you easily find that the finnish system has much more flexibility and
exactness than the Norwegian or English system, and that I think has
some impact upon tecnical and inventory skills.
