DET: determiner
Determiners are words that modify nouns or noun phrases and express the reference of the noun phrase in context.
Finnish has no true articles (see e.g. WALS) and many formalizations of Finnish morphology don’t involve a determiner (or related) tag. However, words such as yksi “one” and se “that” are used similarly to articles, especially in spoken language.
Examples
- [fi] yksi mies lähti “a/one man left”
- [fi] se mies lähti “the/that man left”
