|}

Nominals ending with {{orth|-nen}}, such as adjectives formed with the suffixes '''{{m|fi|-inen}}''' and '''{{m|fi|-lainen}}''', nouns formed using the suffix '''{{m|fi|-nen}}''' and action nouns (nouns derived from verbs with '''{{m|fi|-minen}}'''); all can be traced back to the suffix '''{{m|fi|-inen|-(i)nen}}'''.

No consonant gradation.

Inflectional stem replaces {{orth|-nen}} with {{orth|-se-}}. Final {{orth|-e-}} of stem is dropped before the plural marker {{orth|-i-}}, and the partitive singular and genitive plural suffixes {{orth|-ta}}/{{orth|-tä}} and {{orth|-ten}}/{{orth|-en}}.

Unusually, type 38 nominals also have special [[combining form]]s used in compounds whenever they are not the final component. The final {{orth|-nen}} is replaced with {{orth|-s-}}. See '''{{m|fi|-inen}}''' for more information.
