several ways to formulateNatural Language (NL) Formulations

1. 76 (i.e. 95 %) of the observed patients confirmthis dependence: if the patient has university education and responsibility of a manager, then he mainly sits in his job.

1. 76 (eli 95 %) havainnoiduista potilaista toteuttaa seuraavan riippuvuuden: jos potilaallaon korkeakoulutus ja työ johtotehtävissä,hän istuu enimmäkseen työssään.

Natural Language (NL) Formulations

2. 95 % of the observed patients that havereached university education and work as a managerial position also mainly sit in their job.

2. 95 % havainnoiduista potilaista, jotka ovatsaaneet korkeakoulutuksen ja työskentelevät johtotehtävissä, myös enimmäkseen istuvat työssään.

Natural Language (NL) Formulations

3. Potilaille, jotka ovat saaneet korkeakoulutuksenja työskentelevät johtotehtävissä, on ominaista, ettäheillä on myös istumatyö. Tämän toteuttaa 76 (eli 95 %) havainnoitua potilasta.

3. It is characteristic for the patients that havereached university education and work as amanagerial position that they also have a sedentaryjob. This fact is confirmed by 76 (i.e. 95 %)observed patients.

1. a (i.e. 100p %) of the observed patients confirmthis dependence: if the patient has NLF(X) and NLF(Y), then he NLF(Z).

2. 100p % of the observed patients that NLF(X) and NLF(Y) also NLF(Z).

3. It is characteristic for the patients that NLF(X) and NLF(Y) that they also have NLF(Z). This fact is confirmed by a (i.e. 100p %)observed patients.

Finnish language Belongs to Uralian family of

languages More than a dozen cases(http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/finnish-cases.html)

Synthetic language uses suffixes to express grammatical relations and

also to derive new words

in my house, too -> talossanikinafter you had written -> kirjoitettuasi ”Free” word order

Pete loves Anna - Anna loves Pete

Pete rakastaa Annaa. This is the normal word order, the same as in English. Annaa Pete rakastaa. This emphasizes the word Annaa: the object of Pete's love is Anna, not someone else. Rakastaa Pete Annaa. This emphasizes the word rakastaa, and such a sentence might used as a response to some doubt about Pete's love; so one might say it corresponds to Pete does love Anna. Pete Annaa rakastaa. This word order might be used, in conjunction with special stress on Pete in pronunciation, to emphasize that it is Pete and not someone else who loves Anna. Annaa rakastaa Pete. This might be used in a context where we mention some people and tell about each of them who loves them. So this roughly corresponds to the English sentence Anna is loved by Pete. Rakastaa Annaa Pete. This does not sound like a normal sentence, but it is quite understandable.

Finnish language no definite or indefinite article no grammatical gender negation, corresponding to English

not, behaves as a verb ownership or possession (have

and be in English)

I have a dog -> Minulla on koira

("at me (there) is (a) dog")
