Plural Partitive is a tough case to remember.

It went quite well because I asked the teacher to send me a result before we go "to the South": 101 from 104 possible (and the result is... erinomainen). Or I would have waited until the envelope arrives after X-mas

.

Level four at the University.

Those rules are tough to remember, when a word bends a certain way in genitive it affects how it bends in plural partitive:

kirja kirjan kirjoja
tentti tentin tenttejä
järvi järven järviä
lapsi lapsen lapsia
sivu sivun sivuja
huone huoneen huoneita
vapaa vapaan vapaita
ikkuna ikkunan ikkunoita

(thats tough to remember for me)

On top of that we had to do plural innesive, illative, and ellative. Oh well I passed at least

As Hank keeps telling me "1's enough to pass and 3 you studied too hard"

Just have an accounting exam on Friday then Xmas holiday starts

Well done to you all. It looks like a real hard language to master but I'm giving it my best shot.

What is the plural partitive of : kissa, kone ,koira ,nainen, mies, pöytä, tuoli ?

I think that people usually understand what you say even when you do not get the plural partitive right. Is that your experience also?

kissoja, koneita, koiria, naisia, miehiä, pöytejä, tuoleja

I hope I got them all right, don't feel like looking them up in the dictionary.

I think all people I pay understand me, even when I speak unclear. All people I owe don't understand me, even when I have the partitive plural right.

Well, merry christmas.
