DO MY FINNISH HOMEWORK WITH ME! 

Hahaha 'because it sounds flat'

@@davecad That's a perfect deduction!

@@davecad There's a lot of onomatopoeia in Finnish. If it sounds like something, go with it. It's likely to be right.

@@davecad yeah well, that is how the word was invented, so

Moi

True!

That would be istu! or sit! Otherwise, istu is only a stem that requires an ending.

I was looking for this comment!

in my opinion when asking a translation for the word sit it would be the verb in its normal form

Thank you so much!

​@@davecad Samalla tavalla täällä kamu! Olen ollut Helsingissä/Suomessa 9 kuukautta! Voimme harjoitella yhdessä xD Jos haluat, lähettää yksityisen viestin!

Hahaha I laughed so much when editing that part!

Dave is getting the Finnish way of pronouncing English 😂😂😂

@@Quumissyou Dave should do a rally english video. Imitating a finn speaking bad english, with finnish words here and there.

He’s lived here forever and still uses Finnish only when mandatory.

They say Finnish is hard, but that right there is a full conversation 😀

That's the perfect imitation of a Finnish man on friday night after a long week of hard work

Also never heard anybody say "lävikkö". It's a "siivilä" for me.

I laughed so much when I edited that part... I've obviously been studying too much 😂😂

@@wanhapatu Mä kuulen useammin lävikkö kuin siivilä

@@Savusiikat varmaan sitte riippuu missä päin suomee asuu

@@wanhapatu if I'm not completely wrong, they're two different things 🤔

Oh that's cool! Thanks for that! I'll have to practice that for the next multiple choice question 😁

@@davecad Glad you like it! Just a heads up that it's pretty much a nonsense poem until the line "Nyt sä lähdet tästä pelistä pois." Just to save you time from trying to translate... :)

I thought so, but I guess in these types of tests there has to be a right and wrong.

@@davecad I have always though that if it holds about a 1dl liquid AND has a handle it is a (kuppi) cup, if it holds more it is a mug. If it does not have a handle it is a (lasi) glass if it is see-through, if it is not see-through it is again a (muki) mug XD see-trough AND handle= lasikuppi. Formal kuppi, casual muki

Ei ole. Muki on aina suurempi.

I'm native Finn, and lävikkö was a new word for me. Used to call it "siivilä"

@@smallfan1995sama en tienny mitä lävikkö meinaa vaik oon täysin suomalainen

@@smallfan1995 Siivilä ja lävikkö eri asia, googlaa ne

@@jmm6917 Joo joku itseasiassa selitti sen jo tässäkin kommenttiosiossa ja samalla tajusin että omistan nimenomaan lävikön enkä ollenkaan siivilää :D

@@smallfan1995

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

@Suppo Aki well ok im sorry

Yeah, it's so easy to get by with English!

This. Although to be fair, both "istu" AND "istua" are right answers there because of the missing particle.

It's kind of counterproductive to have a question that's worded so poorly. Finnish is hard enough already so when there is a easy way to be very precise, shouldn't make it more confusing than it has to be.

@@Pekeliini Definitely, 100% with you on this one. I feel like the question was intended to be "to sit" and the particle was just left out by mistake. I just wanted to point out that in this specific case both answers were kinda right, but only because the question was a bit sketchy.

@@isnepkt Istu is either istu! - 2nd pers. singular imperative or istu- a.ka the stem missing an ending. It's not like "he sit" would be correct either when it should be "he sits". Other verbs didn't have the particle either. If they ask for a word without context, it means the base-form you would look for in a dictionary.

Sama:)

That's cool! 🙂🙂

Lävikkö has bigger holes and is used for rinsing stuff out or draining extra cooking water from pasta or potatoes. Siivilä is used when something finer needs to be strained or it can be used for mashing things through it as well to make a very silky puree.

@@innnak1 To me they are all just bowls with holes, liquid go through brr

@@Audiojack_ you've probably seen the metal siiviläs though, the small ones for flour etc 👀

​@@inkeriananas I just didn't know that they're not all called the same.

Lävikkö is useless, you can just use siivilä for everything lävikkö is intended for.

😁😁😁

It at least didn't come up in this module... maybe in the 'advanced' course? 🤣

actually, vasta and vihta do have an actual difference (the way they are made/tied is apparently different!), which is something i myself learned only a few weeks ago !!

@@xxShinyLove This distinction is a completely artificial one, it doesn't hold true to how 99,9% ppl understand and use the two words

Thanks! That's an awesome list!

I know, right!

Telkkaria katsotaan (watch), muita asioita katsotaan (look.)

@@kauppareissuilija.from.Finland joo anteeks xD

Good idea! I've not played that in a while!

Dave on britti :D

👍👍

😀😀

It's the correct term nonetheless, siivilä is a sieve, a small difference in how you use them.

I say sihvilä

@@alluusio i say sihti

lävikkö on semmonen muovinen missä on isompia (usein viivan muotosia) reikiä missä voi huuhdella esim salaattia tai jotain perunoiden keitinvettä kaataa. Siivilä on se pienempi ritilähomma.

@@ngvot Tässähän oppii itsekin uusia sanoja

Short answer: For the vast majority of cases, this is absolutely correct! Long answer: There are some non-compound words that do violate the vowel harmony rule. Most of them are loanwords, such as the words 'vampyyri' (vampire) and 'olympialaiset' (the Olympics). There are also a handful of non-loanword exceptions to the rule, such as 'tällainen' (such as this / this sort [of thing]) and 'veri' (blood) -> 'verestä', but also 'verta'. The former example is explained by the fact that it was originally a compound word that fused together, but the latter type of exception you just have to know by rote, no particular logic to it AFAIK. Luckily, this type of exception is pretty rare. Kielikello has a Finnish-language article for how to deal with the exceptions to the rule. But if you want the gist of it, pay special attention to Dave's arch nemesis, the 'devil dots': - If a word has no Ö or Ä, use A (e.g. 'krokotiili' -> 'krokotiililla'). No devil dots? Don't add any! - If a word has Ö or Ä towards the end, use Ä ('amatööri' -> 'amatöörillä'). The devil dots reign supreme! - If a word has Y towards the end, both A and Ä are fine (e.g. 'vampyyri' -> 'vampyyrilla', 'vampyyrillä'). Y is a loose cannon and obeys no rules. Even so, often in spoken Finnish you do hear people both treat a non-compound word as though it were a compound if it *looks* like one, as well as instinctively wrangle loanwords that don't obey the vowel harmony rule into a form that's easier to pronounce (for a native speaker, anyway). So something like 'vampyyri' often comes out more like... 'Vämppyyri' 😅

@@Yoarashi i can agree. I have always also said "tälläinen" not "tällainen"

They are a part of Emmi's (my teacher) online course so I don't have a direct link to the cards, but there's a link to her course in the description 👍

oh okay mate! I study Finnish too it’s so interesting process hahah have fun!

Unfortunately I'm no where near confident enough to start in Finnish. Maybe one day though 😅
