minä

minä

See also: mina, minae, and minæ

Finnish

Pronoun

minä (stem minu-, colloquially mu-)

  1. (personal) I (1st person singular personal pronoun)
Inflection
  • Irregular. The comitative and instructive forms don't exist. Abessive is hardly ever used, use ilman minua and ilman meitä instead.
  • In addition to the standard set of cases, minä and the other personal pronouns have a specific accusative form, in this case minut. This form would have been the nominative plural form of the first stem, if the word wasn't a personal pronoun.
Usage notes
  • Although often omitted in written language (the verb shows both the person and the number), the pronoun is in spoken language practically always used. (cf. the usage of me, "we")
