Pronunciation

IPA|[ne]

Pronoun
infl|fi|pronoun|plural||stem|ne|nii-

1. context|of things and animals they. Plural of the pronoun se#Finnish|se (�it�).
2. demonstrative|lang=fi When used like a definite article, �the� or �those�.

#:Tässä ne kirjat nyt ovat. � �Here are the books now.�

1. context|lang=fi|colloquial|dialectal|of people they (should be: he#Finnish|he).

Inflection
The case suffixes are mostly regular (except inessive and elative singular). Abessive is never used in singular and extremely seldom in plural. Comitative niin is more or less a theoretical construction, since it has developed into an adverb, and its current meaning cannot be derived from ne.
