[kotitehtävä] tarvitsen apua...

Post by Elyria » Wed Nov 08, 2006 8:05 pm

I have to write a text for tomorrow, for my "write'n speak" finnish lesson, but the problem is I don't have the slightest idea of how to say ""after" + passive verbal form". :?

E.g : Söin. Sitten menin ulos.

What should I use ? A passive possessive form with partitive or "jälkeen " + something ?
Is "Syötyäni menin ulos" correct ?

Kiitos etukäteen !

Congratulations! "Syötyäni menin ulos" is 100% correct.

Well, you shouldn't use a space between the last word of a sentence and the punctuation mark. :wink:

Yes. You could also say "kun olin syönyt, menin ulos" or replace "menin" with "lähdin".

You can also say, "Syömisen jälkeen menin ulos".

"Syömisen jälkeen" is grammatically correct but I do not think that anybody would say that. "Syötyäni" sounds much better.

Hmmm... yes... I remember using "syönnin jälkeen" quite a lot actually, not "correct" but... :wink: Can't remember where I picked it up - these things can be regional... "syötyäni" sounds rather literate to me actually, I wouldn't use it in everyday language... I'd say "kun olin syönyt..." (i.e. kummääolinsyäny :)) instead.

I am also familiar with "syönnin jälkeen" and it sounds all right to me. "Syömisen jälkeen" sounds to me like "after the act of eating".

I believe that it has always had a Finnish way of writing .

The dictionary here http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/siv/laaja.html had this to say about "pyyton" :
>> pyton [pyytton tai pyyton] eräitä jättiläiskäärmeitä (suku Python ja yleisemmin alaheimo Pythoninae) ¶ Virallinen kirjoitusasu lyhytvokaalinen. Joskus myös sitaattilainana kirjoitettu: python. Tieteellinen nimi tulee kirjoittaa Python.
pyyton = pyton <<

Finns pronounce "pyton" as "pyytton" or "pyyton". No one says "pyton".

The official spelling ( virallinen kirjoitusasu) is "pyton".

Incidentally, I've heard this word used in a diffrent context, not referring to snakes at all... in spoken language, "vääntää pyyttonit"...

... erm... refers to "laying cable"

I'd also write python... in spoken language it's usually "pyytton"...
