Finnish vowel harmony 

Which Finnish vowels are the hardest ones for you? Leave a comment below!

This is probably the only channel on RU-vid that directly compares the pronunciation of the Finnish "A" and that of "Ä" (the difference between which is extremely problematic for many foreigners, including me) as isolated phonemes. Exactly what I needed, thank you so very much! I have been trying to find this kind of comparison for such a long time, but in no other video have I found a comparison where "A" and "Ä" are pronounced right one after the other and where they are not presented as within a word (which actually makes the difference harder to spot), but really as isolated sounds. Thank you once more! :)

Oh my God the way i have different to get to know how and where to use these, and in 2022 today i run into your channel and i finally understand it …. My goodness… thank you a lot . And now am watching everthing for this fact that you made me understand.

You are a very intelligent teacher. Been studying this for 11 months and finally got to understand it from you .

This is so far the best video to explain the confusing a and ä. Thank you so much!

This is very interesting. Finnish vowel harmony is almost the same as Turkish, except we have no neutral vowels. In Turkish the neutral vowels "i and e" are considered front vowels. I'm not a linguistic expert but my guess is that neutral vowels are probably the Indo-European influence.

Been studying finnish as a beginner for months and never heard it explained like this. You made this so clear instantly. But for some reason 'Y' gives me the most trouble lol 😆

Thank you so much. I have been seven years in Finland and never understood those roles before today. Really appreciate that. 🙏

Am glad I found u. U are a great teacher
