Heh, my darling found a nice site that hit it home just how insanely much you can inflect Finnish nouns :) Well, it's not limited to nouns but that example is from there...  and that list doesn't even touch 'accusative' and 'instructive' cases :) Of course I personally don't even remember what those would do to that word, perhaps they would just re-use some of the given forms for new meanings... It really is a blessing to be born a Finn if you ever want to learn the language ^.^ Not all of the listed forms are in common use, definitely not in common speech (for example plenty of times people use a question word or some other way of forming a question rather than play with the clitic ending '-ko', although not nearly always ^.^), but it's definitely all something you can run into if you read the right (or wrong) book :)

Check it out :)
