Naida is the verbs basic form.

nain ---> en nai

You talking about marriage... or... what? :wink:

(but yes, if you're referring to yourself, 1st person singular, then it's just that)

But you are aware that besides getting married "naida" also has another meaning?

Well, there is a difference between:
Minut naitiin.
Minua naitiin.


but the negation to both is
Minua ei naitu.

However:
Minut naitettiin.
Minua naitettiin.
Minua ei naitettu.

have the same underlying subject although they should not be mixed up with
Minua naitattaa.
Minua ei naitata.


which then should not be mixed with
Minua ei naiteta.

:twisted:

The difference between a shotgun and a wedding is very close :twisted:

naitattaako tytärtänne, nain häntä mielelläni?
naitatteko tyttärenne, nain hänet mielelläni

Aha, it's the important difference.

And sentence:

"I don't want to fuc.k with you"?

Depending on the fix you're in, you can use e.g. any of the following, to achieve the desired effect:

- Missä sinä vietät iäisyytesi?
- Tiskaaminen on naisten hommaa!
- Pankkitilini ei koskaan ole ollut niin tyhjä kuin nyt.
- Olen Vrivodl Betan kolmas kuningas, saavuin tänne aikapallollani.


Well, not really. "en halua n*ida kanssasi" is the direct form, but usually you'd say something like "ollaan vain ystäviä" :lol:

Ummm, the addition of that preposition changes the whole meaning
of that verb in English and as such that "ollaan vain ystäviä" doesn't
cut it ;).

Stop f*cking with me already! Just tell me the truth!

Lopeta toi pelleily ja kakista sit ulos jo! might work :)

But I understand finnish, I just don't now which case use in the sentence "Minä en halua naida? sun kanssa? sinua?"

Well, both are right. But I find Sammy´s suggestions more appealing. Partcularly the first one. You could hand her a Vartiotorni while you say it.
