Finnish

Etymology 1

From Proto-Finnic *se, from Proto-Uralic *śe. For plural forms, see etymology of ne.

The variation in inflectional stems (se-, si-, sii-) dates back to at least Late Proto-Finnic. The oblique stem si-, seen in most inflected forms, is also found in other Finnic languages, such as the following cognates of the partitive singular sitä: Karelian sitä, Livvi sittäh, Veps sidä, Votic sitä. This is possibly a remnant of the original expected form **si (due to final e > i) which was reversed in some forms, possibly by influence from the plural ne.

The stem sii-, seen in internal locative case forms, may have been generalized from the plural forms as a means to distinguish from partitive/essive sitä, sinä; expected internal locative cases **sissä, **sistä may have been avoided as a dissimilation. Compare Veps siš (inessive singular of se).

Pronoun

se

1. (demonstrative) that (compare tuo, see usage notes)

   Älä koske siihen!

   Don't touch that! (something located close to the speaker)

   Sitäkö sinä sillä tarkoitit?

   That's what you meant by that?

2. (demonstrative) it

   Onko se hän, joka on ovella?

   Is it her who's at the door?

   Ota kortti ja pane se pöydälle kuvapuoli alaspäin.

   Take a card and put it on the table face down.

   Kukas se sieltä tulee?

   Who's it coming over there?

3. the one (who, what, which) (always with a relative clause)

   Se, jolla on eniten pisteitä, on voittaja.

   The one who has the most points is the winner.

   Joka kuritta kasvaa, se kunniatta kuolee.

   [The one] who grows up without discipline dies without honor.

4. (colloquial or dialectal) he, she, one, they sg (of a human being; gender-neutral)

   Synonym: hän

   Se vaan lähti.

   He just left.

Determiner

se

1. that (compare tuo, see usage notes)

   Sen auton pakoputki on rikki.

   That car has a broken exhaust.

   Onko sinulla vielä sitä jäätelöä?

   Do you still have some of that ice cream?

2. (colloquial) the (as a definite article; see the usage notes below)

Usage notes

• Both tuo and se can be translated as "that"; see tuo for more information on the difference between the two.
• In colloquial and dialectal Finnish, se is the usual and neutral personal pronoun in the third person singular, and its standard Finnish counterpart hän is restricted to certain particular uses. Using se of a person carries no negative connotation.
• Due to the influence of Germanic languages, and nowadays especially to that of English, se may often be used as a kind of definite article in colloquial Finnish, though in standard Finnish, where word order expresses whether something is definite or indefinite, this colloquial usage is ungrammatical. (Compare the usage of yksi.)

  (standard)

  Mies tuli luokseni. ― The man came to me.

  Luokseni tuli mies. ― A man came to me.

  (colloquial)

  Se mies tuli mun luokse. ― The man came to me.

  Yks mies tuli mun luokse. ― A man came to me.

• When used independently as adverbs, the external case forms sillä, siltä and sille are generally only used in abstract or possessive meanings; for locations, the corresponding adverbs siellä, sieltä and sinne are used instead.

• Se is often used with an actual subject, but it is also very often used with an abstract subject:

  Il est normal de se parler. — It is normal to talk to oneself.

² Il is also used as an impersonal nominative-only pronoun.
³ On can also function as a first person plural (although agreeing with third person singular verb forms).
⁴ The nominal indeterminate form ce (demonstrative) can also be used with the auxiliary verb être as a plural, instead of the proximal or distal gendered forms.
⁵ The reflexive third person singular forms (se or s’) for accusative or dative are also used as third person plural reflexive.
⁶ Vous is also used as the polite singular form, in which case the plural disjunctive tonic vous-mêmes becomes singular vous-même.
⁷ Ils, eux and eux-mêmes are also used when a group has a mixture of masculine and feminine members.
