Suffix

-ne

1. The suffix used to form the comitative case. It denotes companionship and ownership, and is written where English would use "together with (one's possession)".

   Menin ruskeine koirineni.

   I went together with my brown dog.

   Tiibet on mielenkiintoinen maa suurine vuorineen.

   Tibet is a fascinating land, together with its great mountains.

Usage notes

• Relatively rare in spoken Finnish. The idea of comitative is more often expressed with other structures, particularly the postposition kanssa ‎(“together with”).
• Grammatically comitative is always plural, even if used of a singular object.
• In nouns the suffix -ne is appended with the appropriate possessive suffix. In Wiktionary the declension tables of Finnish nouns show the comitative with the 3rd person suffix -en to form -neen.
