It's ben the name of my blog for a couple of months now.
Before it was:
Pojan elämä ja kertomukset.
I mean to say:
THE life and THE stories.
So I wonder if it is better in part?
Pojan elämä, kertomuksia ja ongelmia? (or is it ongelmoja?)
You're saying (in the last sentence) 'life, stories and problems',
ongelmia is correct. Maybe put
elämä also in partitive, so Pojan elämää, kertomuksia ja ongelmia. If you really want to emphasize the THE, wright
tämän pojan
And I have also a question now: is it the very rule that possessive suffixes are used only with personal pronouns? Is it wrong to say 'pojan elämänsä'?
