• Whether moni is used in the singular or plural when actually referring to individual (singular) things in the real world, depends on the linguistic style.
  • In formal Finnish, moni is in lexically singular and the following noun (if any) and verb are in the singular, though semantically the word and what it qualifies are plural.

    Moni lapsi syö puuroa aamiaiseksi.

    Many children eat porridge for breakfast.

    (literally, “Many a child eats porridge for breakfast.”)

  • In informal Finnish, the plural form monet is used and the modified noun and the following verb are plural.

• The partitive singular form monta has an additional "double" partitive, montaa. This is due to the fact that the word lacks an accusative singular form (*monen), which has led to the use of the partitive case for both telic and atelic senses that are normally indicated by the accusative case and the partitive case, respectively. The accusative plural may be used synonymously, especially in more formal language.

  Rakastan montaa ihmistä. (partitive case dictated by rakastaa)

  I love many people.

  (literally, “I love many a person.”)

  Laitoin monta koiraa häkkiin.

  Laitoin monet koirat häkkiin.

  Rikoin monet sakset. (plural form required by the plurale tantum sakset)

• Note the double partitive montaa and the archaic essive singular form monna.
