I found and corrected a misplaced ä . Would it be beneficial, in the Genetive Plural chart, to somehow indicate when a word is in partitive singular and when in partitive plural? Right now you have them both in the "Partitive Sng/Pl" column. Pehaps in brackets after the word, like: "kiel/tä (sng)"?
And is 'nainen' supposed to come twice with its two alternative inflections or was that unintentional?

For example, for the word omena (apple) the genitive plural can be: omenoiden, omenoitten, omenojen, omenien, omenain . The first one is probably the most common and the last is quite rare and even archaic.

Sun päässäs ovat kuulokeet
There are headphones on your head
[s]should really be:
Kuulokkeet on sun päässäs[/s]
EDIT: Wait, no . Headphones wouldn't really be päässä. One should say:
Kuulokkeet on sun korvilla/korvissa.
The case depending on if they're good old fashioned earphones or those that you stick into the ears.
Perhaps you should ditch this example altogether, it opens too many questions .
