note

If words are counted from Finnish text, the rates are multiplied by 1.5, the average ratio of the number of words in an English <-> Finnish translation. This is because agglutinative languages, such as Finnish, have longer words with more information than prefixative languages, such as English; for example, fi 'sydämessäni' = en 'in my heart'. Here the word stem 'sydäme-' (heart, nominative singular 'sydän') is followed by the inessive case ending '-ssä' (in) and the possessive suffix '-ni' (my).
