Summary: "A Finnish Grammar" by C. N. E. Eliot is a linguistic guide written in the late 19th century. This work aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the Finnish language, particularly focusing on its grammatical structures and phonetic systems. Eliot's grammar is especially significant as it is noted to be one of the few accessible English resources on Finnish syntax. The opening of the text outlines the author's intentions and approach. Eliot emphasizes the complexity of Finnish and acknowledges challenges in the language's current state, which is still evolving. He expresses gratitude for his sources, including Finnish dialects and assistance from native speakers, highlighting both the unique phonetic structure of Finnish—characterized by a limited consonant set and extensive vowel use—and the intricacies involved in its grammar, such as vowel harmony and syllable formation. Overall, the beginning establishes a foundational understanding of the language's uniqueness and prepares the reader for a detailed exploration of its grammatical rules.
