Finnish Grammar.

Finnish grammar Is Of a difficulty
absolutely repulsive. None OF the 9th
er languages OF the same group is half
so hard. Hungarian-nay, even Turk
lsh, despite the yexatious Initial Inn
pediment of the Arabic alphabet-is
easy in comparison. The syntax Is at
once provokingly elaborate and per
plexingly obscure. II possesses fifteen
distinct cases and four and twenty
differentiated inhnitiye forms; but, on
the other hand. there is no real dis
tinctlon between nouns, adjectives. ad-
verbs, propositions, inhnitives aud par
ticiples. so that the student must not
be startled by finding inhnihyes regu-
larry declined like nouns, and nouns
taking upon them degrees OF compari'
son like adjectiyes.
