Number: number

Number is a feature of nouns, pronouns and numbers as well as of verbs and adjectives that mark agreement with them. Number is a common morphological feature. It is used for both number of nominals and number in verbal inflection. Number in Uralic languages can typically appear multiple times as a layered feature, e.g. in possession as number of nominals and number of possessors. For layered features, see Number[psor] and Number[psed].

Sing: Singular

A singular noun denotes one person, animal or thing.

Singular examples

• [fi] talo “house”, minä “I”, yksi “one”, kolme “three”
• [fi] syön “I eat”, juokset “you (singular) run”
