Missä, Mihin, Mistä - Finnish Question Words Part 1 | KatChats 

I've spent the past day binge-watching your videos - you are a godsend for those of us learning finnish with no idea where to start.

[Vowel Harmony!] Mi | ssä = inessive case particle: "in", "inside", "within some space" Mi | hin = illative case particle: "into", "towards" Mi | stä = elative case particle: "out of", "from"

Also a quick tip to anyone who is learning Finnish: Many Finns might use "minne" instead of "mihin".

At 0:42, I can already guess what you want to say in this whole video and what these 3 words exactly mean without watching the rest of it. 😁 German also has these 3 words which are "Wo", "Wohin" and "Woher". 🇩🇪

at last! locatives have clicked into place! the endings of these three question words, which I have struggled to memorise individually, I now realise are simply different case endings. Just as helsingiin means "to Helsinki", helsingissä means "at Helsinki" and helsingistä means "from Helsinki.

I am coming to Finland next week and thank you for this video. I always thank you for your good video.

Also this is like где, куда and откуда. Thanks for another great video!!

You explain stuff for slow people😊 I'm not slow but I still appreciate that :)

The video is good! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

Thank you for taking the time to help others! :)

Thank you, love your videos to the bits 🧡

Thank you for this lesson🌸🌸🌸

I really get confused about these cases in my Finnish lesson in class. Thank you so so much!!!

do ''kuka'' next. kuka, keta ,kenessa etc etc. i still cant figure it out !!!!love your videos btw, keep it up!!!

Your explanations are really good, thank you once again for making Finnish so easy and fun! 💙 Also makes it easier to pay attention when your teacher is söpö.. 🤗

Hello Dear, thank you for your help. can you please make another video on the suffixes added at the end of names of places like tori,puisto... when answering the question words you mentioned on this video?

Not confusing at all! It is actually very clear put out this way!

Very good differentiation of those words. Thank you.

It's cool to put your videos into real applications, I practice my adverbs and learn a lot of my vocab from listening to "Teräsbetoni" hahaha, Missä miehet ratsastaa siellä lampaat ei voi laiduntaa!! What my mind goes to, Kiitos!

Lots of examples please. I love how you are super slow and clear and repetitive about the topic words, but its nice to hear them in lots of contexts at a natural pace. Each example differs by just one thing and mentions the topic word. Liked the "welcome to my channel intro" I wasn't trying to learn Finnish. I guess I am now.

Thanks Kat very nicely presented.

You are amazing....thank you so much, you have no idea how good and great skills you have with teaching .......

Love you and your interesting videos!😉

As someone fairly new to learning the Finnish language, this is helpful to me, since I've been yearning to travel to Finland sometime in the future and hopefully converse effectively with the locals, and the other thing, which is translating all the songs in the Sayonara Wild Hearts soundtrack into Finnish.

Hello! Yes it was really helpful, thank you so much ❤️. I just had an extra question. Can we actually use those but not in a question? If yes, which one would you use in this situation? Is it always the same as soon as it's not used as a question or it still depends on the context? Situation: "Put the pen back WHERE you found it"

This is really helpful. Thanks so much, watching from Nigeria

Thank you for your videos 🙌🏻

Thank you very much for the lesson. Easy to learn the way you teach

thank you

Kiitos could you make a video about all wh questions in finnish your explanation very clear 😗

Thank you!!!!

Hyvä päivää. Please keep updating i like how you teaching. Kiitos paljon sisko ❤

I just understand to use this not long time ago 🤣 when was studied missä/mistä/mihin i was like WTF 🥺🥺 and i like to watch your channel because in class only book language so i know speaking language from your channel ♥️

Old English words can help: O E whither = where to, or Finnish mihin; O E whence = where from or Finnish mista

Very helpful video

kiitos!! I hope I get to learn Finnish asap.

Love your teaching

your explanations are really good and I can easily understand what you're trying to learn us. i love Finnish and thanks to you, it is a lot easier. Everyone always says that Finnish is super hard to learn but you make it easier and it's nice to have someone explain it where it's not just overloaded with grammatical terms and whatever

kiitos kaunis opettaja

Kaunis... thank you. Hope to see u eyes in person

This is very helpful, thank you Kat~

Thank you very much ,kiitos paljon

sinä olet hyvä opettaja 🙏🌺

Very clear, thank you, Kat! But one of your examples brought up another question. Would you typically use the word höyhen for a single feather? Because the word I've seen used is sulka. I actually thought that höyhen meant plumage. Which would be the word most commonly used?

Hei! :-) Beautiful and simple way to explain it! Kiitos! I have a question about "jossa". I read this in some texts when talking about where is a specific location... What does it stand for?

Thank you ..

kiitos paljon,sina olet kaunis..

I think I'm inlove after watching all these tutorials

This video was very enlightening. Hey can you do a video on how to ask Ko questions?

I have a question. Which would you use in a situation like where can I do something, such as where can I sit down? Is that missä?

My favorite question in Finnish is “miks ei?” Great motivator 😁

Hi! Can you please do a video about the difference between "miten and kuinka". thank you :)

Very good. Literally I was struggling with this missä, mihin and mistä. You are very good. God bless you. :-)

Thank a ton!

thanks for making this video!!! i think i’m the one that requested it. also thanks to you, i’m much more fluent in finnish and my finnish friends don’t hate me as much.

very helpful!

Kiitos paljon !

I am from somalia🇸🇴 you are good teacher

thanks this helped a lot!

Omg🥰😍...you're so beautiful and a very good teacher

I really like your videos. For this particular one, if i understood it correctly, is “MISSA” used for objects and “MISTA” is for places?

Wow, you are the best

I’m now learning Finnish by myself. Thank you ❤

@katchatsfinnish, the same in Russian language: Missä - where - где? Mistä - from where - откуда? Mihin - where to - куда?❤

mista question usually answer the place or using vehicles by adding sta at the end.

Great

Well done

Thanks for this video...helps a lot for someone like me that had no idea in finnish☺️☺️

@KatChats Finnish do you have video of S-cases and places with answering the questions with different case endings. I am currently studying Finnish Language, you help me a lot.

Thank you so much for thes Vídeo you help me to much!✌️✌️✌️✌️😉😀😀😀👏👏👏👏👏👏

thanks

Kiitos paljon

oh wow, I see this is an old video, it is very useful and interesting! you do that very emotionally and I like this :) and I like that thing on your hair. how many rings did you have there? :)

Thanks for this! In the example, 'Mistä tämä tuli?' What role does the word 'tuli' play? Google translate says it translates to fire/flame/light/blaze, so I'm surprised for it to be used in this phrase that doesn't seem to reference fire at all.

This is truly fascinating! Being inspired by this channel, I am taking Finnish in DuoLingo now. Question: can "on" be placed both in the middle and at the end of sentences? For example, if I say "missä kaupunki tuo on?" May I also use "missä on tuo kaupunki?"

Something's I'm used to from other languages (like French? Can't remember, I'm from the US and just getting back into my studies) that isn't found in Finnish is a consonant that would be at the end of Mistä" then "olet" which would make it flow better but since one change to Finnish can create an entirely new meaning I think it's also a good thing it lacks it. In English we have it with the article "a" becoming "an" before vocabulary starting with a vowel

Kiitos paljon.Now I'm all clear with those three question words but it'd be better if you also explain me about the differences between Mikä and Mitä

I have a question regarding S vs L, if i am saying i go to the park ( menen puistoon vai puistolle?) Which one do i use? Are there outdoor places considered indoor (i only know of one which is metsä, so answer form would be in S, metsään, metsässä, metsästä) i am assuming?

there are 3 direction question words in Russian too (Russian and Finnish have much in common): missä = ГДЕ, mihin = КУДА, mistä = ОТКУДА

Gorgeous ❤

Awesome video... keep it up...

Very good video. Dont worry it was very clear :)))

Sinä olet kaunista ♥️

kiitos paljon

Keen to learn Finnish language because of my job application in Finland.. hopefully i can pass the A1 nd A2 exams. Arvostin paljon!

Very nice ..thanks . Gracias. Kiitos

cracking up at 05:40 and 02:49 ..that helps me remember as it's so dramatic lol

can you please do a video about the tenses. they confuse me so much and you’re really good at explaining stuff. yee yee love your videos btw :)

Learning another language through several others is funny because I was so confused at the confusion through english but then I realized my native language has pretty much equivalents 🤣🤣 ‘kde, kam, odkud’.

Tämä video on mukava.

I just decided to learn finnish with you. So much fun. What do you think about the relationship between the finnish and the hungarian language? I met a finnish stewardess in Beijing about three weeks ago and she told me the number four is so similar. Nëlja and négy. Is that everything? Or is there some more easter eggs? Thanks for the videos. ;)

Can anyone explain to me the difference between "minne" and "mihin"? As I learned, "minne" also means to where, when you ask someone going to or something is going to the location. For instance Minne sinä menet? - Where are you going? I get a little confused about these 😟 Kiitos paljon!!!

Hei, I recently started learning Finnish and Hungarian is my mother tongue, but I'm learning Finnish in English. It's strange that these question words are also present in the Hungarian language (Hol? Hová? Honnan?), but I have to deal with the English translation.

another problem at me that is how to use lla/llä or sta,stä at the end of the verbs in sentences to describe where to,from etc and the problems of the rules hVn seen etc Hopefully, you would like to make a video for this situation kiitös paljon

This is terrific!! English used to use the words whence for where from and whither for where to. German uses woher for where from and wohin for where to. Missä connotes a question about a stationary location whereas the other two inquire about movement from or to. Mihin olet menossa instead of mihin menet and mihin ollaan menossa? Could you give more examples of this construction. Also, could you do a video giving typical sentences using- tässä - tästä - tähän tuossa - tuosta - tuohon siinä - siitä - siihen täällä - täältä - tänne tuolla - tuolta - tuonne siellä - sieltä - sinne or at least some of them. For example, bring it here/take it over there. I think you used siihen in your video about ordering coffee. Thanks.

My girl❤❤❤

Kiitos

kiitos paljon 😀

you're sooooooo cute and your videos are really helpful! Kiitos paljon rakas

Kiitos :)
