Finnish example exhibiting compounding, inflection, and consonant gradation. In the question, weekdays is a compound. However, in the compound, week is inflected in the genitive case -n and the change of kk to k in the stem (a common morphophonological process in Finnish known as consonant gradation). The plural is marked on the head of the compound day by the plural suffix -t. But in the answer, Week is present as a standalone word in the nominative case (no overt case marking), but is modified by a compound adjective composed of seven and days.
