HOW GOOD IS MY FINNISH, REALLY? | FINNISH LANGUAGE TEST 

Finnish? Learnt. Certificate? Gotten. Hotelli? Trivago.

Repesin tuossa "hotelli - trivago"😂

"Missä on verkkokauppa?" Yep. That's where you get the electronics :D

Sateenvarjo=umbrella, pen=kynä, pencil=lyijykynä. Also a great video, was fun to watch!

herne-maissi-paprika :) Every day Finnish. Think I'm going to defreeze me some soon.

6:14 hotelli? Trivago! You have watched some tv

Little tip for you to remember left and right. Think about the word VolvO. V=Vasen is on the left side and O=Oikea is on the right side. I hope this would be useful for you

3:30 Dave: "Vasen" never heard it before. Just less than 10 seconds ago there was a question what picture is "vasen". 😂 Btw, you guessed it right Dave! And vasen means left. ↩

You making fun of lyijykynä just cracked me

finnish is a great language: the spruce is on fire= kuusi palaa the spruce returns= kuusi palaa the number six is on fire=kuusi palaa the number six returns=kuusi palaa six of them are on fire=kuusi palaa six of them return=kuusi palaa your moon is on fire=kuusi palaa your moon returns=kuusi palaa six peaces=kuusi palaa

Some extra points for thinking that “please” doesn’t have an exact translation in Finnish. “Ole kiltti” is sort of equivalent to the adverb of it. “Ole kiltti” can also be same as “be nice”... etc.

Funniest vid you've ever done man, the tarvitse lääkäri made me howl laughing! And trivago too!

"Hyvää päiviää". Damn like the third question and there's already a typo

Technically Finnish doesn't have a word for please. Ole kiltti (be nice) and pyydän (I ask) are the usual translations but neither is an actual translation of the word.

Hotelli? Trivago!

I’m from Finland, and honestly he did really good! The actual test itself has a lot of typos tho and there technically isn’t a word for please but oh well. Congratulations 🤣🙌🏼

Trivago. =D Hyvä Dave! Your Finnish sense of humour is blooming.

Not only did you completely ace that test, but your pronouncing has gotten grazy good too! Not to mention the fact that many words you got right just by "kinda feels like it" which must mean you're subconciously absorbing finnish :D Again, feeling like a proud sister over here!

7:50 i was so hyped when dave started showing off his language skills!!

>guesses several words >somehow manages to guess most of the guesses right Sir, you're much more skilled than you give yourself credit for 😂 Also, thank you for giving me something to watch while I'm dying my hair!

The ones you got wrong: leg is sääri (though Finnish sääri means the part from foot to knee, doesn't leg include the thigh too? I think most Finns say jalka for leg and jalkaterä for foot!), pen is kynä and pencil is indeed lyijykynä. Sateenvarjo is umbrella. Your choice of tulitikut (fire + sticks) means matches and nenä mean nose. But hey, excellent job!

Dave, sun suomea on hauska kuunnella! Käytä kielitaitoasi enemmän videoissasi!

I'm really surprised how well you know Finnish and your pronunciation is actually very good! Great video! Made me smile :)

You have never heard *juna* and you live in helsinki, well that's kinda odd if ya ask me.

"Herne-maissi-paprika" made me laugh so hard I think my cheeck muscle sprained a bit 😂😂 This is great video 🧡

Bra jobbat! 😄 Just so you know, ljusröd is only a thing in Finland, the common Swedish word is rosa

This on trending! Congrats!

This was a really funny video. Thanks Dave!

The best way to learn Finnish is to use it in conversation...You should discord with fans to improve your Finnish 👌 Best regards, swe-speaking Finn 😇

It is pretty bad to have a language test that has typos.... But well done Dave!

Dave you come long way, watched your first videos way back when you were learning finnish. Now you knew a lot more, so no surprise you are understanding a lot when you hear people talking in finnish. Olet suomalainen kohta =)

You've have improved so much! I'm proud of you

Dave, what is 'jalkapallo'? You can't go back to UK, if you don't know that. And that is where you remember jalka & pallo.

Almost all right, you made me proud honestly. Keep learning Finnish and I'll keep learning English so we'll meet in the comments 😊

You have great language skills even when it comes to guessing the meaning, it is truly inspiring. You can be proud of yourself! An educated guess takes one far, as you demonstrate in this video. I love it how you are able to use also your Swedish skills to deduce the meaning of Finnish words.

You are learning man. Keep up the good work

You're so funny! Also died at "...hotelli -trivago" 😂 But you did great 👌🏼

"Who invented this 💀language " 😭🤣🤣

Wow, you’ve been making huge progress! Keep going👍🏿

ACED IT!!! what a flow! i was sooo heartbroken when you got the first one wrong! i was so much with you in the "on the roll" feeling

You can speak Finnish very well!! Osaat suomea tosi hyvin!!

This is fun that contains Finnish, so it must be Funnish... (i'm sorry. My humor today is soooo dry...)

I love your finnish learning and spelling 😄❤️ amazing video!

I'm having a great time as a native Finnish person watching you testing yourself. I'm definitely cheering you on!

Lyijy = lead, kynä as you know is any pen.. so it's a lead pen = pencil :) It's a crazy language for sure but those compound words are nice because you don't need to learn so many specific words. I would've liked to see your face at "kuulakärkikynä" ... of course that's easy if you know the parts: kuula = ball, kärki = tip/point, kynä = pen, so it's a ballpoint pen, surprisingly close to the English counterpart :) Others you weren't so sure about were oikea = right (also as in a right answer = oikea vastaus), vasen = left, jalka = foot, sääri = leg, nenä = nose, juna = train, laiva = ship. Great job anyways and entertaining as always :)

The "please" one was a hard one. Here it says "please" is "ole kiltti", which could work if you say "OLE KILTTI ja tuo se minulle" = "please bring it to me". Literally "ole kiltti" means "be nice". I would not say that to everyone. But since "please" don't really have word in finnish, there's so many ways to say please. Like "OLE HYVÄ ja sulje ovi" = "Please close the door". "Ole hyvä" literally "be good". And of course the most common one, "kiitos". "Vettä, kiitos" = "Water, please". I think "kiitos" is safest "please" word.

Good job Dave, you're doing great with finnish! So proud of you, keep up the good work!♥

Hyvä Dave! Olen ylpeä sinusta! 👌

"I've guessed all those ones already, gotta be laiva" You hacked this test.. :D

There actually isn't a word for "please" in finnish. It's mostly just replaced with something polite, like "ole kiltti", but it's not the correct translation.

Well done Dave. And good guesses when needed.

You're amazing. Love to see you sometime somewhere

There is an easy trick to vasen and oikea and it has to do with volvo v on the left so vasen o like oikea to the right

If it was foodshop: Missä on ruokakauppa, And if it was electric shop: Missä onVerkkokauppa😂 that was nice 😂😂

Omg your accent is just too adorable and i squeal everytime you get the word right! Mahtavaa!

Haha, very good video again! You knew the words very well 👍🏼 Well done! 😀

Hieno suoritus, Dave! Suomenkielen opintosi toi mieleeni seuraavanlaisen jutun. Silloin kun suomalaisten englannin kielen taidot olivat hiukan vaatimattomammat, Suomeen muuttanut Neil Hardwick teki televisioon hauskan ohjelman ”Hello Hello Hello”. Löydät sen RU-vidsta, jos kiinnostaa. Och Samma på engelska: Great done, Dave! Your study of Finnish conjured to my mind next kind of thing. When Finns English was a bit more modest, Neil Hardwick, who moved to Finland, made a TV show called "Hello Hello Hello”. You can find it in RU-vid if you interest. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wLI-mznalnE.html

Missä on verkkokauppa? 😃

You killed it Dave, nailed it :D.

Wow, I'm proud of you! An actual improvement! 😂

*herne-maissi-paprika*

- Missä on kauppa? - Samperin tyhmä kysymys.

I like how calm you are :D

Dave, that was seriously impressive! Hammas.. harja .. tahna. I think you've realised that Finnish is an onomatopoetic language and you aced it! Which one sounds more like brushing .. is it tahhhhnnnaaa or harrrrrjaaa . Of couse it's the word with the rrr sound! I've been learning your language since I was 10 and now working in the city of London. Keep up the good work!!! I enjoy your videos, don't give up on Finnish .. please! ... SUBRIBED to you channel right now!

Siellä on kissa siellä putkessa! Who invented this bloody launguage!

I’m from Finland....... SUOMI PERKELE JA TORILLA TAVATAAN🍯

Olet todella hyvä suomessa :D!

Wow! More of these please😂

I really want to see dave pronounce "lentokoneensuihkuturbiinimoottorialiupseeriapumekaanikkooppilas"

Your next food testing video should be that you are testing saunamakkara that is sausage that is heated with sauna heater

Well done! 😊👏🏼

Hyvää työtää! Suomea on vaikea oppia! :D

I don't know what "Hyvää päiviää" is

I'm here before your video receives its first dislike lol

Herni maissi paprika😂💜love the video! You are very good at speaking finnish👏🏻

Good work Dave you are so good in finnish

Laitakaa like nii ulkomaalaiset luulee mun sanoneen jotain hauskaa😂😂😜

Most of the people don’t even know our country, so it’s really cool that you are learning finnish! Loved the video ❤️

Bravo! Finnish pronunciation can be really difficult. Hyvää työtä!

Nicely done Dave! Now you are ready to go outside of the third circle and see the "country side" of the Finland and learn all the dialects. =D Good luck!

That went well! Wow! 👍🏼👍🏼

Great Jobb and gratulation dave

Dude. You definitely deserve thumbs up.

Damn dave You doin’ well🤙🏼

Loistavaa Dave!

OMG Dave you are very good speeking Finnish. Well done👍👍

Oot mahtava tubettaja = you are awesome youtuber :)

this was so fun video! thanks Dave! you speak very well Finnish 👌🏻🇫🇮 hotelli -> trivago :D

Videosi oli suosituksissani. Hauskaa katseltavaa, onnea opintoihin ;)

Hyvä Dave!

Im from Finland and its really fun to watch you speak finnish.

I actually was in shock how the answers you guessed were mostly right !!😂😂👍🏽

I think your finnish is very good!! keep learning!!🔥

Great video👍

Hyvä Dave!!!

Your pronunciation is impressive!😃👍🏼 There basically isn’t a word for “please” in Finnish, so there are various other words and phrases used instead which fulfil the same purpose. I’d say “ole kiltti” (be kind/be so kind as to…) is a bit outdated as the only person I remember using it frequently was my grandmother. Nowadays if you just say “please” in English, basically everyone will understand you (which is what I say, as lived in the UK so long that it’s a tick by now). Another word that doesn’t have an exact equivalent is “have.” If you want to say “I have a car” you have to say “minulla on auto” (a car ’exists’ with me/I possess a car) or ”minä omistan auton” (I own a car). This was an interesting quiz. I wonder if there’s an equivalent one for Japanese. 🤔

I love ur finnish spelling that is just helarious.

Dave speaking Finnish is so delightful!

As a finnish person your videos are hilarious and the best👍 keep up the good work:D

Idea for a video. Next weekend at Raisio (near Turku) there is Eurotrial 2019-competition (9.-11.8.2019 ). It is about off road trial, European masters competition. If you like that kind of stuff, come and check it out.
