mwe: multi-word expression
The multi-word expression (modifier) relation is used for certain fixed expressions that behave as a unit.
Multiword expressions are annotated in a flat, head-initial structure, in which all words in the expression modify the first one using the mwe label.
The following expressions are considered idiomatic, and their parts
are to be combined with the dependency type mwe in UD Finnish. Note
that this is not intended to be a closed list, but rather a list of
examples that were encountered while annotating the TDT corpus. The
two-part expressions that fall into the categories of coordinating and
subordinating conjunctions are omitted here, and instead listed under
cc and mark, respectively. Due to the idiomatic nature of
these two-part expressions, the translations may on occasion not be
very natural.
