My grandma spoke fluent Finn and my biggest regret is never learning it from her while I could. Your videos are helping me finnaly helping me attempt learning it. Kiitos!
@@Kutatiusz sorry for the late reply! My grandma was born in Minnesota, I believe it was her grandparents who immigrated to the United States from Finland back in the 1890s.
@@KatChatsFinnish lääkäri reminds me "лекарь" in Russian - a "traditional" doctor, a person using "traditional medicine" to help people, mostly used in villages. the Polish word may have the same origin from a Common Slavic.
Hey! Your videos have been an awesome learning tool along with my online learning! A request would be describing different suffixes and the differences between them all. I know it is a MASSIVE thing to discuss but it would be nice to know how to form different sentences to try and start describing things! Thank you and love from New Zealand
Great suggestion! I have started my cases series (with nominatiivi) which I guess is kind of similar, but yes at some point I will get around to doing the whole lot of them xD
Moi! I just started learning Finnish like a couple of months ago. And I love it!! Could you please make a video about the weather? It is sunny / it is cloudy / hot / cold / 5 degrees above zero / etc. And the second idea / request - Partitiive in singular and plural. Kiitos paljon!
Depending on the area one grows up in determines "mure " (dialect). E.g. "selkä sattuu " means the same as "selkään sattuu ". Minä olen syntynyt pohjamaasa. Hei! Hei!
Thank you for your video! This is informative! Maybe you could also do a video on the things you will do in university studies? Such as: oppitunti, esitelmä, rhymätyö. Kiitos paljon!
Hi mom hkw you do in? am your admir i am seinor medical officer from ethiopa now am studing finnish language to come to your country but, while am study it so challenging, but your videos helping me a lot still am following so, please mom can you do on the topics called "physical and mental states" thank you mam!
Thanks. Request. Teacher, make a video teaching modals, like: 1. I have to do. 2. I don't have to do. 3. I must do. 4. I must not do. 5. I need to do. 6. I don't need to do.
Thanks for your video. I found some interesting tidbits about the verb sattua. This appears to be a monopersonal verb with some interesting qualities. Specifically that you use sattua in the 3rd person always (sattuu) and the "where" is in illative (mihin in stead of missä). If your stomach hurts you can say mahaan sattuu (like you explain), where mahaan is illative of maha, but this is *not* puhekieli but standard Finnish. If you use the possessive form of maha, you would get mahani which also standard Finnish. My source is en.wiktionary.org. Look for the word sattuu or sattua within wiktionary. If you want to know more about monopersonal verbs look for monopersonal within wiktionary and click on the Finnish term for monopersonal (yksipersoonainen). I expect other ppl in the facebook group (FInnish members) are more knowledgeable on this subject, just thought it would be interesting. So, you can see, a simple video about sick-terms gives rise to more knowledge than you would expect from the contents! Thank you very much for your videos!
Moi Kat! Kiitos for the great video! Can you please also tell how we can say “I am feeling nauseated” , “I fell down”, “I feel dizzy” and “I think I’m going to faint” Sorry if it is too much to ask 😅 the last one is because I tend to faint from time to time when I see blood or something 😩
"Pyörryttää" can be used if you are feeling dizzy or about to faint. "Kaaduin" = I fell down, "Oksettaa" = I feel like throwing up, "on paha olo" = I feel sick (can be used if feeling nauseous too)
wow wow wow! 2 video in 1 day??? today is some kind of holiday ??? )) Need some topic ? take sports - specially then hockey in Finland has own lexicon. I mean jääkiekkojoukkue,rangaistuspotku jne
Kun poika tai tyttö aivastaa. Sanon terveyden ja toivon, että palaudut nopeasti, jos olet sairas. Ehkä jonain päivänä haluaisin sanoa sen suomalaiselle tytölle osoittaakseen hänelle lempeyttä :). Ja ehkä tyttöystävän kanssa osoittaakseen hänelle osan rakkaudestani :).
Can I use "Minulla on flunssa" as same as "Minussa on flunssa" or is there a different using? The last one, I've learned in my Finnish course (by a finnish teacher). Or is it more like Savo? :-D
"Päätäni särkee" (my head aches), "Päähäni sattuu" (my head hurts), "Pääni on kipeä" (literally 'my head is sick' but also means 'my head hurts'), "Minulla on päänsärkyä" (I have headache) are a few options.
it is more like lazy way to talk, so knowing official way helps a lot. And spoken language can be challenging for some native Finns too if they heard something used 1st time as it is pretty easy to form new ways to say things.
Often when we say 'my stomach hurts' for example in spoken language (puhekieli), we add 'mun' in the front since we delete the owner-indicating ending from the substantif itself. Example: 'my stomach hurts' = 'mun vatsaan/mahaan sattuu' or 'My head hurts' = 'mun päähän sattuu'. But it's also fine without the 'mun', I just feel like it's more natural.
