This is the 364th most frequent Finnish word.
the
The Finnish language does not have a direct equivalent for the English word "the," as it does not use definite articles.
Here, 'nimi' means 'name' and 'samalle' implies specificity, substituting for the English 'the same'. Finnish indicates definiteness by context and often via suffixes or demonstratives.
Kirjoita nimi samalle paperille.
Write the name on the same paper.
In this case, definiteness is implied; 'ikkunan' (the window) and 'metsän' (the forest) suggest specific entities known or previously referred to in the context.
Avasin ikkunan nähdäkseni metsän.
I opened the window to see the forest.
The word 'the' conveys specificity, represented in Finnish by the definite article implied through context and sentence structure.
