#kpt

Usually KPT applies when finding the stem of a word (using the example of finding genitive form here, the word stem is then just without the final n):

kukka (kuk -ka) -> kukan

katto (kat - to) -> katon

hattu (hat - tu) -> hatun

musiikki (musiik - ki) -> musiikin

lika (li - ka) -> lian

kiltti (kilt - ti) -> kiltin

However, I've noticed when the word has another syllable after the location where KPT would apply, KPT doesn't occur:

lattia (lat - ti - a) -> lattian

korkea (kor - ke - a) -> korkean

Kuopio (Kuo - pi - o) -> Kuopion

matala (mat - a - la) -> matalan

ikkuna (ik - ku - na) -> ikkunan

It’s time to go to your dark place and come out on the other side as a fully functioning person of society. Crawling into the fetal position and coming out reborn is possible.

MEU DEUSO. COMO NÃO SUSPEITEI?

KPT refers to consonant gradation (i.e. change in a systematic way when a word changes form), and always involves the letters K, P or T. KPT either occurs in the case where strong changes to weak, or alternatively where weak changes to strong. At first I was really reluctant to learn KPT because I didn’t know how useful it would be, but .... now it keeps coming up when I try to learn new grammar. Here are the most common rules:
