Usage notes

Relatively rare in spoken Finnish. The idea of comitative is more often expressed with other structures, particularly the postposition (deprecated template usage) kanssa. Grammatically comitative is always plural, even if used of singular object. In nouns the suffix -ne is appended with appopriate possessive suffix. In Wiktionary the declension tables of Finnish nouns show comitative with 3rd person suffix -en to form -neen.
