Determiners

German has articles, Finnish not so...

the
  • (deu) der
  • (fin) tämä → die

Nouns

German requires and article for nominals.

house
  • (deu) das Haus → talo
  • (fin) talo → Haus

Just a small nuisance with apertium's np classes *and* genders.

  • (deu) Jack → Jack
  • (fin) Jack → Jack

  • (deu) Finnland → Suomi
  • (fin) Suomi → Finnland

Pronouns

Well, yeah.

I
  • (deu) ich → minä

me
  • (deu) mich → minut
  • (fin) minut → mich
  • (fin) minua → mich
to me
  • (deu) mir → minulle

Separable prefixes

German can separate prefixes with infinite stuff intervening

Adjectives

German adjective should agree with noun on their genders.

red
  • (deu) ein rotes Haus → punainen talo
  • (fin) punainen talo → rotes Haus

Adverbs

German adverbs are quite but not totally like Finnish; biggest problem is 0-conversion ADV<->ADJ and resulting disamb. problematics

Conjunctions

also

and
  • (deu) und → ja
  • (fin) ja → und
because
  • (deu) weil → koska
  • (fin) koska → weil

Adpositions

German adps have some case requirements but also case variation to determine what happens as well.

behind
  • (deu) hinter dem Haus → talon takana :: dative is static
  • (deu) hinter das Haus → talon taakse :: accusative is movement
  • (fin) talon takana → hinter dem Haus
  • (fin) talon taakse → hitner das Haus
