Inflection for case involves changing the form of a noun depending on its syntactic function – languages such as Latin, Russian and Finnish have extensive case systems, with different forms for nominatives ( used principally for verb subjects ), accusatives ( used especially for direct objects ), genitives ( used to express possession and similar relationships ) and so on.

The personal pronouns in Finnish in the nominative case are listed in the following table:
