Usage notes

While this form is not considered correct in standard Finnish, it has been found in dialects (even traditionally) and remains in colloquial use. Partly because of the prescription, many (especially more prescriptively-minded people) strongly object to the use of this form, and it is an oft-cited example of "incorrect Finnish" or "annoying language mistakes".
