Finnish infinitives in a nutshell

I just realized that I have a post called Participles in a nutshell and Passive in a nutshell, but nothing about infinitives! Older grammar books talk about first, second and third infinitives, but I'm using the names with the markers. Check out the posts to read example sentences and more detailed explanations.

lukeakseni

lukemassa
from
lukemasta
to
lukemaan
without
