Like Agatha Christie, she isn't overly fond of the detective she is most famous for creating – in Ariadne's case the Finnish sleuth Sven Hjerson.

Finnic languages, such as Finnish and Estonian, have two cases to mark objects, the accusative and the partitive case.

In Finnish, the ablative case is the sixth of the locative cases with the meaning " from, off, of ", e. g. pöytä – pöydältä " table – off from the table ".

Another possible source is the Finnish word lape, which in this case means " periphery ".

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.

For example, in Finnish, join vettä, " I drank ( some ) water ", the word vesi, " water ", is in the partitive case.

The Finnish language has a plural form of every noun case.

This case carries the basic meaning of " in ": for example, " in the house " is " talo · ssa " in Finnish, " maja · s " in Estonian, " etxea · n " in Basque, " nam · e " in Lithuanian, " sāt · ā " in Latgalian and " ház · ban " in Hungarian.

In Finnish the inessive case is typically formed by adding " ssa / ssä ".

In the Finnish language, the inessive case is considered the first ( in Estonian language the second ) of the six locative cases, which correspond to locational prepositions in English.

In Finnish, the case is formed by adding-hVn, where ' V ' represents the last vowel, and then removing the ' h ' if a simple long vowel would result.

In Uralic languages, such as Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian, the adessive case ( abbreviated ; from Latin adesse " to be present ") is the fourth of the locative cases with the basic meaning of " on ".

It is also used as an instrumental case in Finnish.

In the Finnish language, this case is marked by adding "- na /- nä " to the stem of the noun.

In the Finnish language, this is the counterpart of the Essive case, with the basic meaning of a change of state.

In the Finnish language and Estonian language, the instructive case has the basic meaning of " by means of ".

In modern Finnish, many of its instrumental uses are being superseded by the adessive case, as in " minä matkustin junalla " → " I travelled by train.

In the Finnish language and Estonian language, this case is often used to express unknown identities and irresultative actions.

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

In Finnish and Swedish, the colon can appear inside words in a manner similar to the apostrophe in the English possessive case, connecting a grammatical suffix to an abbreviation or initialism, a special symbol, or a digit ( e. g., Finnish USA: n for the genitive case of " USA ", %: ssa for the inessive case of "%", or 20: een for the illative case of " 20 ").

Altogether, these political developments led to conditions that encouraged a struggle for leadership of the Finnish state, during the ten years before the collapse of the Russian Empire.

This eventually spilled over into armed conflict because of the weakness of the Finnish state, lack of basic controlling factors, and instinctive reactions of the individual Finns under most uncertain and fearful conditions.
