The woman is reading a book Explanation: Nainen = woman. Finnish does not use articles and the translator must infer the correct use of "the" or "a" before a noun. lukee = reads, is reading kirjaa = book (partiitive case of "kirja", indicating she has not read the entire book at this point. www.finnishtrans.com |
