Prefixes

Prefixes are bound morphs that can appear in beginning of the compounds, mostly forms of nominals. Finnish does not have almost any real prefix morphemes.

Prefixes examples:

  • alabanaani: ala+N+Pref#banaani+N+Sg+Nom (Eng. # lower banana)
  • erikoistyyppi: erikois+N+Pref#tyyppi+N+Sg+Nom (Eng. # special guy)
