Appendix:Finnish nominal inflection/nalle

KOTUS type 8 (nalle)	NSK type 9 (nalle)

Nominals ending with -e; consonant gradation possible.

This simplest form of -e declension is used for personal names, and some nouns representing a form of person (such as nalle – teddybear, nukke – doll, pelle – clown, itse – self). Other -e nominals mainly use the declension type hame.

Partitive ending -a/-ä and genitive plural ending -en. The declension is the same as valo, except that the alternative genitive plural ending -n is rare, rather than obsolete.

Basic declension without consonant gradation
