For a mathematician or electronics engineer this video could be told in a few seconds: "TAI" means "OR", "VAI" means "Exclusive-OR", usually abbreviated "XOR"
Thank you a lot a lot a lot. I can’t really describe how much I appreciate your help and videos. Making these topics small and simple to digest and understand is an amazing skill. Thank you so so so much for your help
The way I learned it (I started years before it was added to Duolingo) is that "tai" means there can be another option to what's presented in a question, but vai means only what is being referred to; for example "Haluaisitko kahvia tai teetä?" Would mean that you can choose something else besides coffee or tea, but if "vai" was used, then you would have to choose coffee or tea.
I'm a huge fan of Kat's work and this video lesson is an example of why. I was searching for exactly this. Löysin kantarellin metsästä. Työsi muuttaa elämää, ja sitä arvostetaan.
Thank you Kat, you have a gift for making confusing things simple. I've been doing the Duolingo course for over 300 days and this was still confusing.❤
@@KatChatsFinnish Thanks Katya. Sadly it's not that impressive. The free Duolingo course does not have the ability to ask questions. So I still make frequent mistakes in the simple partative present singular without even dealing yet with the locative , plural and perfective.
Great vid! I am a polish native speaker and we actually have two words for 'or' as well. And, they work the same as they fo in finnish. Finally something easy 😊
I LOVE how Finnish has logical or and logical xor, it is amazing! >w< Because in for example English when I say "or", people never know which one I mean, so I started saying xor, but now everyone's confused. ;w;
Another amazing video! I had trouble differentiating between these two words when certain green owl taught them to me 😅 but I can always count on you to make learning Finnish both easy and fun! Kiitos tosi paljon Kat 💚
Kuuma's song Yliväimöinen has the perfect illustration of the principle, I think.... 'Kruuna *vai* klaava, *tai* mikä vaan' (Heads or tails, or whatever)
I studied Finnish once and maths/computer logics and was told TAI could be compared to the logical OR and VAI to the logical XOR ( exclusive OR). But I am learnng all the time and your lesson tought med about the statement aspect. Ja sama suomeksi...
@katechats every times you show photo with your dog, it really touches me. In my country when a beloved pet dies, prayer can offer comfort and help us on the path toward healing. I pray that your dog will reward kindly like it (your dog) done to you..
Thank you for this, I always have a hard time with these two, especially when I'm doing a duolingo lesson. It's been extremely helpful as always! Kiitos Kat! 😊
Me neither and I'm Finnish. I suppose these are the types of things you just pick up as a kid hearing and speaking your language and never think about why it is.
Thanks. I'm sure if I ever really need to speak Finnish, this'll be the key and probably also keep me out of some trouble since I'll know when I'm being offered a choice I can make either way, or only one way like there's implied an actual distinction, dislocation, disjunction, etc. English handles this quite differently.
I like that reminder with vain I know the difference in function between tai and vai but end up forgetting which is which lol so I’m sure this will help me next time
Im finnish and I had to watch this to understand the difference😀... Gl to everyone learning finnish😋 Ja joo. Mie oon iha oikeesti miettiny ett mikä ero niil o😇
Kiitoksia. Se ei ole logista, vain vaikeaa. Mutta nyt tiedän. As a half finn, with Swedish as native language this make zero sense. I understand how to use it, but the general use for it is so implicit and explicit at the same time.😅 You always have a premise before or after a question. Which I'm sure finnish has too, but we only have one word for it like English. Curious question. Do you speak Swedish too? I haven't followed you for long so maybe you mentioned it in a previous video. I will surely become a member this month. You have the best lessons, hands down. Thanks again. 😊
aamulla" is used to specify the time when something occurs, typically translated as "in the morning," Example: "Menemme uimaan aamulla." ("We will go swimming in the morning.") while "aamuna" is used to describe the state of being in the morning or to specify "on a morning." Example: "Eräänä kauniina aamuna heräsin aikaisin." ("On a beautiful morning, I woke up early.")
