Is there an online dictionary that contains all of the possible endings for words?

That would be great for beginners, the ones who learn "from the street," don't you think?

>> Thank you very much for this fantastic info <<

A morphological analyser of Finnish is another fantastic language tool for you :

http://www2.lingsoft.fi/cgi-bin/fintwol

It "unconjugates" Finnish words for you - all kinds of words,not only verbs.

In other words : It tells you what word to look for in a dictionary.

The analyzer also tells you how a word has been conjugated

Tags here : http://www2.lingsoft.fi/doc/fintwol/intro/tags.html

Two examples :
The basic form of "joivat" is "juoda" ( to drink ) as you can see here :
http://www2.lingsoft.fi/cgi-bin/fintwol?word=joivat

joivat = (they) drank

The basic form of "paremmassa" is "hyvä" ( good ) as you can see here :
http://www2.lingsoft.fi/cgi-bin/fintwol?word=paremmassa

paremmassa = in a better...

Ah yes, the morphological analyzer is what pillango088 needs for translating song lyrics for example.

Sieska is slang..For the 7 Day magazine..Like Hesa is slang for Helsinki Sanomat.

Vinkata is also a bit slangy..It means a tip or a hint or a clue..

yllanttaen...I think that means...Surprisingly.. but not sure.

Yep, you're right - for the record though, it's Hesari for the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat; Hesa is just... erm... Helsinki

But to be 100% yllänttäen is correct dont forget the "ä" not "a"..then you might find it in the dictionary..
yllättää to surprise..
yllättävä surprising
But I would say..Yllätävästi.. for surprisingly..?

Need a Finn to explain when yllänttäen is the correct form...

sammy · Post by **sammy** » Fri Feb 09, 2007 12:24 pm

Yllättää -> Yllättäen = surprisingly. Yllättävästi is also correct, in a way, but it's not used so often.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the extra "n" in your version is not Kosher!

It's the same with e.g.

kääntää ("turn" or "translate") -> kääntäen
selittää ("explain") -> selittäen
