How to say "no" in Finnish
In Finnish even the simple word ei (no) is changed according to person.
For example the conjugation of mennä, to go:
menen - en mene - I don't go
menet - et mene - you don't go
menee - ei mene - he/she/it doesn't go
menemme - emme mene - we don't go
menette - ette mene - you don't go
menevät - eivät mene - they don't go
Notice how in the negative form the verb remains unchanged, only ei is conjugated.
