[edit]See olla. sinut is not inflected. jonkun stands for "someone", which is inflected in the genitive case. If the person is expressed by using a personal pronoun, kanssa receives a possessive suffix, and the pronoun can then be dropped if it is a first-person or second-person pronoun; see Appendix:Finnish possessive suffixes § Verb phrases for more:
