ensimmäiseksi (toiseksi jne.) tuleva käsite/ominaisuus Explanation: It is hard to translate the word "concept" without knowing the context. In Finnish: Se "concept", JOKA tulee ensimmäiseksi. It is the use of the English infinitive in a relative sense that is your problem, I think. |

peer agreement (net): +1Valitse se, jonka asetat sijalle 1. Explanation: It is obviously a bit difficult in Finnish to speak about 'concepts' (Fin. 'käsite') when this kind of rather concrete things are concerned (so it is, I think, also In English). If there isn't any compelling reason in wider context to speak about 'concept' ('käsite'), you can simply say 'se' (Eng. 'that one') or maybe 'asia' (Eng. 'thing'). Furthermore, there isn't any single appropriate formal verb for 'rank' (you can say 'rankata' in informal style). The expression I have suggested is very natural and it is easy to build the phrases for 2, 3... You simply change the number. |

Valitse se ominaisuus, jonka asetat sijalle 1. Explanation: I agree with "Timle" but I would say "Valitse se OMINAISUUS, joka asetat sijalle 1 (or 2....)". Ominaisuus is an appropriate word for the contexts if it refers to dirfferent flavours for instance. |
