Body: <p>I am using rasa nlu for training an NLU system to detect intents and slots. Now, some languages have word endings with their nouns (like Finnish, e.g. "in Berlin" -> "Berliinissä"). I have tried to annotate the characters in the training data as entities, but then I run the model, it doesn't detect the characters inside the word. When those characters are a separate word, only then they're detected. I am unable to think of an implementation to effectively detect named entities within a word. Suggestions needed.</p>
