Talk:älkääni

RFV discussion: August–September 2022
Finnish. I'll be amazed if this can be attested. Normally Finnish verbs do not have the first person imperative. --Hekaheka (talk) 17:33, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * here's one. Thadh (talk) 19:03, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, älkääni and the first-person singular imperative in general is super rare. The above use maybe counts, but it feels a bit like stream of consciousness. &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 19:25, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Ei yksi pääsky kesää tee (CFI). --Hekaheka (talk) 11:32, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
 * But they obviously exist for this verb, and thus meet the CFI. --RichardW57 (talk) 20:35, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I suppose it's like "himselves", which is certainly attested but represents a deliberate breaking of morphological rules as a sort of stunt. Chuck Entz (talk) 21:13, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
 * My educated guess (but still a guess) is that the first-person singular imperative is not attested in any popular dialects and was invented by some grammarian in order to make a complete imperative paradigm, but the proposal failed to catch on (it's not that often that you need to tell yourself what to do, or tell others that you're telling yourself what to do). &mdash; S URJECTION / T / C / L / 06:19, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
