6:47 No worries, there're very many words to call your grandpa or grandma in Finnish and it's up to the family to decide what words to use for each grandparent.

@eevih4258 Год назад

Yeah and I think he had heard the Sweadish word for wolf which is ”varg” and pronounced somewhat like ”vari” and got those two mixed up!!😄

@eevih4258 Год назад

Oh nvm he figured it out himself and even mentioned it in the video lmao😂

My other grandma liked to be called "mummo" and the other one hated the word so we would call her "isoäiti". In reality we just used their names.

@tuuli4002 Год назад

CONGRATULATIONS! 🥳 It definitely helps that finnish is written how it's pronounced. As a Finn I remember I first thought that it is weird how in English you pronounce the words differently compared to how you write them😅

@durabelle Год назад

English pronunciation is such a pain in the arse to be honest. There's just no logic to it whatsoever 🤣 For example though, cough, bought, and through? Bow and cow? Ok, this last pair was a bad example, as bow will of course rhyme with cow if it means bending as in "take a bow", not the archer's weapon. I'm so happy I started studying English as my first foreign language and just believed that learning languages is supposed to be that hard, as if I'd taken it on after Spanish, Swedish or even Dutch I would have given up 😂

@durabelle Год назад

@@janakatri You're correct that Finns rarely speak proper Finnish in everyday situations. That's mainly used in the news and old movies, in some official situations, and often by teachers or professors when teaching. However, the pronunciation of letters still matches, since different dialects can be written out in a recognisable way. For example the word minä is often replaced by mä, mää, mie etc. We're mostly required to use general Finnish when writing anything official, and every Finn will understand it if you read it aloud, even if we'd otherwise use a different version of the language.

@durabelle Год назад

@@janakatri Jep, onhan se haastavaa. Toisaalta murteita ja aksentteja on muissakin kielissä, englanti hyvänä esimerkkinä. Suomessa meille opetetaan lähinnä lontoolaisenglantia, mutta oikeasti jo pelkästään tällä saarella on niin paljon erilaisia murteita omine sanoineen ja sanontoineen että samalta paikkakunnalta olevat tunnistavat toisensa puheesta ihan samoin kuin suomalaisetkin. Amerikanenglanti samoin jakautuu useampiin erilaisiin tyyleihin, texasilainen ei kuulosta samalta kuin New Yorkissa kasvanut, ja sitten vielä Australian ym. aksentit siihen päälle. Ero arjen ja kouluopintojen välillä on haaste siis muissakin kielissä. Ymmärretyksi tulee kyllä, vaikka ei paikalliselta kuulostakaan, mutta joidenkin vahvempien murteiden ymmärtäminen ottaa aikansa.

@backonlazer791 Год назад

Fun fact, 5:47 in Finnish both "emme asu enää Ranskassa" and "emme asu Ranskassa enää" are perfectly fine! I don't know if Duolingo would agree but at least personally I would prefer the former.

@JiihaaS Год назад

I think you can actually put the "enää" anywhere in that sentence. You can even start with it. Each version would have a slightly different nuance, but they could all be translated to "we don't live in France anymore".

@backonlazer791 Год назад

@@JiihaaS Yea, Finnish plays pretty fast and loose with the order of words sometimes. I definitely think it sounds weirder if you put the "enää" in front (although "Me enää emme asu Ranskassa" might be the weirdest and possibly wrong), but I'm not sure if it would be wrong per se. Possible and I _think_ correct word orders would also include the following: Ranskassa emme me enää asu. Me Ranskassa asu enää emme. Emme me asu enää Ranskassa (I think this implies that you're telling someone who mistakenly thinks that you still live in France that you don't anymore). Finnish is wacky sometimes 😄 P.S. I was always bad in the Finnish class so I can't say for sure that all of my ramblings are accurate. I kind of just intuit things as a native speaker 😅

@JiihaaS Год назад

@@backonlazer791 ah yes, there was "me" in the original sentence too. But I referred to the one in your post, without "me".

@SaintTyrael Год назад

As a native finnish, i would've gotten the "We do not live in France anymore" wrong, because it's also correct if swap the places with "enää" and "Ranskassa". So i would've answered: "Me emme asu enää Ranskassa"

@durabelle Год назад

Or even "Me emme enää asu Ranskassa". We could also just drop the pronoun and make it into "Emme enää asu Ranskassa." Not sure which versions would be accepted, but all are fine.

@wembaa Год назад

That was shown as another correct answer. I would have gone with that one, too.

@TheBloodyOne Год назад

@Yrenne Год назад

Native Finnish speaker here. At 5:33, they had the official translation for "We are having fun in Estonia" as "Meillä on hauskaa Virossa", but if it were me, I would probably have translated it as "Me pidämme hauskaa Virossa". It sounds more natural to me, but others may disagree. "Meillä on hauskaa Virossa" sounds more like a general statement about something that's always true, i.e. "We have fun in Estonia (whenever we go there)" while "Me pidämme hauskaa Virossa" sounds like it's happening right now (I believe you call it present progressive in English), which is more in line with "We are having fun in Estonia." Just me being pedantic, I would guess they probably had that as an acceptable answer anyway. Congratulations btw, it's been really fun to follow your progress over the years. You've improved a ton. :)
