Inflect, people!
The corner of my mouth still twitches when I think my professor just said that if there’s an emergency (something doesn’t work, I don’t understand something…) it might be more practical for me to text him than send an email. Text! Apparently he is comfortable with the additional features cell phones offer nowadays (additional to just using it as a phone). I am not planning to disturb his vacation, however.
Another thing, I was just told (not 100% sure) that the structure <possessive pronoun> + <uninflected noun> is nowadays *allowed* in Finnish. Damn those allowances (hey, I thought that was a “word play” but it does mean “act of allowing” too… super). Soon we’ll be talking merely in uninflected words cause everyone’s too damn lazy to inflect.
Inflect, people!
