I’m learning how to speak Finnish instead of doing my homework that was due last week

Me speaks finnish every day and has spoke it for my entire life Also me Watches a how to learn finnish video

Me: im gonna sleep earlier today 2am: tutusnia pyaaa hiiiavava

Me: Has Chinese and Japanese homework to do Also me: nah, let's learn Finnish now

The Duolingo Finnish course just came out last week. This is an excellent companion piece to it.

Numbers are actually pretty difficult especially if you try to understand what a Finn is saying. It's common in spoken Finnish to shorten the words for numbers. The words have different short versions for different purposes, for instance counting. Yksi - Yy (when counting) Kaksi - Kaa Kolme - Koo Neljä - Nee Viisi - Vii Kuusi - Kuu Seitsemän - See Kahdeksan - Kasi Yhdeksän - Ysi Kymmenen - Kymppi And so on.

Finnish here, by the way no one speaks like this in real life. In paper it is "Hyvää päivää minun nimeni on xxx. Hauska tutustua." How we actually introduce ourselves is pretty different and there are many many different ways. For example "Moi oon (name) kiva nähä." or "Moro oon (name) mite menee. Etc etc. I dunno it just sounds very cringy to us if someone speaks like the words are actually written. xD

Although I have literally little to no Finnish in me, my paternal grandfather's family (who adopted my father) are from Finland; and though I'm not of true Finnish blood, I'm determined to learn this difficult language after my grandfather's death. I may not be a true Fin, but I'm certain I've got sisu like a Fin. 🇫🇮❤️

Jesus this language 🤯🤯 You have FIVE TIMES the letter ä in the combination good day 😂😂

Actually: Hyvää päivää - Good Morning/Day Hyvää iltapäivää - Good Afternoon Hyvää iltaa - Good Evening and if you want to wish a good sleep to someone Hyvää yöta - Good night For goodbye, you can also just say "Nähdään" and omit "pian". There is also "Moi" instead of "Hei" and respectively "Moi moi" for "Hei hei". You can, in coloquial Finnish, also say "Heippa" (Bye bye) or "Moikka".

I think normally the informal way would be: "Hei, mun nimi on NAME". Already using nimeNI makes it formal. At least this is how I see this being used in the Helsinki area.

i have never in my life actually heard anyone say nice to meet you in any language expect in these kinds of language learning videos

Im finding it very interesting how i, as a native slavic speaker, have to put little to no effort in pronouncing those weird looking words. It comes naturally even though im totally unfamiliar with the words. Where ever you look people are saying that suomi is hard to learn but i find it way easier than german or french.

Kaarija made me want to learn Finnish lmao

PERKELE!

Kiitos paljon! I love Finland and Finnish language!😍🇫🇮

I am a hungarian watching this, and in hungarian "te" is the way to say "you" informally... meanwhile in finnish it's to say it formally, huh.

the cutest teacher in these language studying series by far

Omg. this is really like Turkish. The general grammar structure. as i understand; sina means sunuz in Turkish (it even sounds close, easy to remember), and it has no meaning by itself alone. you use it when you ask somebody politely if they ever do anything First you change the main verb referring a second singular person (can be anybody, just directing thats all) Puhua to Puhut, then you add the "ko" word to make it a question (we use mu in this case), then you add sina to the verb which is already addressing to the second person and change the address to "you" :)
