online site for practicing declension/conjugation, or data

Post by weakstar » Thu Mar 07, 2013 12:09 pm

I was wondering if there was any site that generates practice problems for conjguation of verbs and declensions of nouns. For example, it gives me sänky (bed), and asks for on the bed (sängyllä). Or it gives me ''antaa'' (to give), and asks for ''you give'' and wants ''annat''.

If there is no such problem site, I've seen that http://www.verbix.com/languages/finnish.shtml, has for example, what appears to be complete conjugations of all finnish words. Has anyone scraped that site or asked the admins for a flat text file with all the conjugation patterns? Does a similar thing exist for noun declensions?

If anyone has this data available to them, I wouldn't mind trying to throw together a little script in Python that generates practice problems. I think it would be useful for generating some ''muscle memory'' for grammar changes.

Raw data looks to be obtainable here if anyone is interested:

edit: tough to parse this guy, looking for other sources
