A Python library for Finnish that conjugates verbs and declines nouns

fi-lib

fi-lib is a Python library for Finnish language processing. It provides basic functions to conjugate verbs and decline nouns.

Usage

To use fi-lib, import the desired functions from fi_lib.py. You can then call these functions with the stem of the word you want to conjugate or decline.

from fi_lib import conjugate, decline

verb = "juosta"
noun = "kissa"

conjugated_verb = conjugate(verb) # Returns a dictionary of conjugated forms
declined_noun = decline(noun) # Returns a dictionary of declined forms

Alternatively, you can decline into just one form.

from fi_lib import ablative

ablative_form = ablative("kissa") # Returns "kissalta"

Other useful functions include syllables, vowel harmony, and consonant gradation.

from fi_lib import syllables, vowel_harmony, strong_to_weak, weak_to_strong

syllables("kissa") # Returns 2
vowel_harmony("kissa") # Returns "back"
strong_to_weak("tikku") # Returns "tiku"
weak_to_strong("kato") # Returns "katto"
