joka

See also: jokā, jōka, and jōkā

Basque

Verb

joka

  1. short stem of jokatu

Finnish

Etymology

From the pronominal stem jo- + the suffix -ka. jo- is from Proto-Finno-Permic *jo.

Pronoun

joka

  1. (relative) who, which, that.

Usage notes
  • In Eastern Finnish dialects, the indeclinable stem -ka is still used and, thus, the pronoun forms with -ka can occur in standard Finnish on occasion, because it is not a big error to use it:
  • joidenka, jotenka, joihinka, jonneka etc.

Inflection

Irregular. Some cases are practically never used. The conjunction jos may be the lative singular of this pronoun.
