2:42 It's actually 2 veljeä not veliä
OH GOODNESS you're right, silly me. See even I make mistakes D:
i‘m from italy, we call our grandparents nonna (grandmother) and nonno (grandfather)
could you make a video to instruct Finnish learners how to pronounce "R"? That's would be great. :)
It's really good that you give both kirjakieli and pujhulieli versions of words - excellent work, thanks!
Thank you very much!
In Turkish, we call mother as "anne", and grandmother as "anneanne" :D it's simple and interesting
Guess what...it's similar in one of the Indian language called Telugu mom- Amma and Grandmother- Ammamma

Hi sir , which place of india r u from ?
Im from hyd .
Learning spanish.
And u ?
In Finland Anne is a female name
We call my Finnish Grandma Muumi and my Finnish Grandfather Vaari. I’m from Utah, USA and my mother is from Rauma(when she was younger)/Espoo(when she was a teenager) originally. Thanks for your lessons! Traveling to visit Finland in August (hopefully) and hoping to finally able to speak and understand more Finnish.
We use muumi and vaari as well
We say mummi and moffa.
Philippines : Grandma - Lola , Grandpa - Lolo
Aw I like that!
🇵🇭
Pinas - Cousin
Tito - Uncle
Tita - Aunty
Actually there are two words for uncle in Finnish: eno (mother's brother) and setä (father's brother).
Oh true true, I completely forgot!
So happy to be seeing your video now!
Thank you so much for making these videos! They're so helpful. Kiitos!
Awesome! Hyvää juhannusta 🌞
I think in this case “iso” means “grand”... the words in English are grandmother and grandfather, not big mother and big father.
Grand is a synonym for big.
That's interesting! In Italian we call grandparents "nonno" (grandfather) and "nonna" (grandmother). Those are both standard language and spoken language, we don't have pet names or endearings such as gramma or pop, or the like in English. Just one word. We do have two main variations for the parents, "padre" being "father" and papà=dad, and mother=mother, mamma=mum. That can also be abbreviated in everyday language, we commonly say things like ma' and pa', ora mamy/papy when we call them.
Thanks for sharing, I really like the Italian words for grandma + grandpa ^-^
@@KatChatsFinnish thank you ^^ fun fact: you read Italian exactly as is written and most letters have the same sounds as they have in Finnish, so you can read those words as well as we do :-D
I like how you go straight to the point!!! I love this hair color btw
Kiitos paljon! :D
Kiitoksipaijon for this wonderfully detailed and expert pronunciation. Much needed.

I call my grandparents mummi and pappa. I'm a second gen Finnish canadian.
Your videos are always knowledge enhancing and i'd also like to add that ur dimples make ur smile more sparkling and dazzling.
Hahah thank you so much and glad you found this video useful! :)
Love your contents 😘
I'm happy to be a Finnish person too, I love taking care of my health as best I can, Finland is very cold, nostalgic.❄️💕😘
Suomalainen vaimoni loves it when 2 year old granddaughter calls her “Moo- Moo”.
One of my grandson's called me Mimi but his mother kept correcting him so now I am Grandma. Thanks for your helpful video
Moi! I am from Iran. I only had one grandmother. I used to call her MAAMAAYI. Mama is a slang for mom. and maamaayi kinda meant my own mom!
Here, in English, my grandparents were Grandpa and Grandma Kumpula and Grandma Pat. But my great grandmother was Big Grandma, which is due to the English translation of Iso from Finn. My mom called her Grandma Ina before we were born though.
Great thanks for your learning❤
Thanks for watching!
I'm learning finnish..it is not easy at all, so many vocabulary to learn.. sina olet todella kaunis by the way🙂
Hey.
Ethnic hungarian from Romania here.
In Hungarian we have like this:
Official form for mother is Anya (ny is pronounced like ñ in Spanish), for father is Apa. ( The "A" in Hungarian is pronounced somewhere between the Finnish "A" and "O" 😂🤷🏼♀️)
I call my mom Édesanya which translates to sweet mother (édes means sweet) and my dad Édesapa. Brother is fiútestvér, sister is lánytestvér. Grandma is Nagyanya or Nagymama (Nagy meaning big or grand) and Grandpa is Nagyapa.
Anyway, loving your videos, I always watch them on my way to work to Helsinki 😅😅😅❤️.
Good explanation. Kiitos paljon
Kiitos :)
Can you please do video about cases in Finnish? Or mainly about partitive (partitiivi)?😊 I am ,,lost" in it
Kiitos opettaja
I'm from Canada, we called our grandmother and grandfather mumma and pappa
Hi! I am coming to Finland prior of fall .You are really doing great teaching finnish language. Actually ,I am from Nepal. I am coming to Vassa.Kitos!,Do you run any online or onclass classes anywhere in FInland.I wan to learn it .Moika....
in India grandma and grandpa from the mother side called Dada and Dadi. same from father side called Nana and Nani.
In Bengali,
for Grandmothers we have "Dadi" to address Father's mother...with an endearing form "Dadu" or even more endearing "Dadu-moni"
and "Nani" to address Mother's mom ... with "Nanu" or "Nanu-moni" as endearing forms ... "Moni" basically means "close to heart" so you get the idea...
for Grandfathers , "Dada" for Father's Father with endearing "Dada-vai"
and "Nana" for Mother's father with endearing "Nana-vai"
- which might sound confusing as "vai" basically means "brother"
fun fact,
for greatgrand parents we address them as "Boro- ma/abba" where "Boro" means "Big" , "Ma" means "Mother" and "Abba" means "Father".
Also, please could you do a video about Finnish prepositions? His, missa, jossain, kuin, kun....
Sure I'll add it to the list! :D
In Norwegian we can say mormor for grandma. if i say "min mormor" (my grandma) it's like saying my mothers mother. and it's the same with grandpa. we can say farfar. and we can mix it up as well for morfar (my mothers father) and farmor (my fathers mother). we can also say bestefar and bestemor, i guess those words are closer related to the english words grandma and grandpa
we can also say cousin in different ways. kusine is female and fetter is male but we can also say søskenbarn which is gender neutral and it can basically be translated to "siblings child" because your cousin is the child of your parents sibling
we also have two ways of referring to our parents. we can say mamma (mum) and mor (mother). and pappa (dad) and far (father)
Whe I do singing time with toddlers and grandparents it's really difficult because you could be talking about someone completely different by accident! I called my grandmothers Nan and Grandma, but there's also Gran, Granny, Nana, Nanny, and lately lots of younger grandmothers are being called things like 'Nonna' (Italian) or 'Lolla' (Filipino) because they just can't see themselves with 'old person' names. It's so interesting - and strangely, in a little group in Southern England there are 3 families that have one Finnish parent.
Ow wow 3 families! :o And thanks for sharing, I find it very interesting too :)
When I was I was a kid we would always call my great grandma mummi and I never understood why. It all makes sense now, kiitos!
:)
In Frysk (Friesland in the Netherlands), grandma is Beppe and grandpa is Pake.
In portuguese grandpa is avô and I call mine just vô. Some people say vôvô. Grandma is avó, and it's the same: i call her vó, but it is also normal to call them vóvó. This is about Portugal.
Can you please teach us how to conjugate basic verbs: to learn, to read, to write, to eat, to sleep, to go, to return.
In Finland we also say "pappa" for "grandfather",
from the philippines. grandpa- lolo, grandma- lola
In spanish (México) the word for grandmother is " Abuela" as the formal way to speak,
for grandfather is "Abuelo", but as an informal way to say, grandparent, in general, could be Abue or Abu, but there's also another form for both, and it came from the indigenous roots, more common at the south of the country, very beautiful words for Isoäiti will be Nana, for Isoisä, will be Tata, those terms are less common every day, even if my country has an illogical fear to indigenous terms I found them beautiful, you use terms tata or nana just in a very close relationship with them.
Australia: mother and father often "mum" and "dad". Grandmother and grandfather often "nana" and "Grand-dad"
In the Philippines , we call them Lolo(grandfather) and Lola(grandmother). In Tagalog🥰
*In Kannada one of the south indian language: Ajji (g.mother) and Ajja /Tatha (g.father).
**In one of the North Indian language Hindi, Daadi (G.M) and Daada (G.F).
***And in another South Indian language called Telugu,Amma is mother and Nana is rather. So, Ammaamma (Mother's mother literally) and Nanaamma(Father's mother literally) and Tathayya (Grand Father)
Interest ! We hungarians too use it these slang ! Just not to mom ! Mom = Anya ! The slang is anyu , anyuci , anyucika , anyus , anyuska :) but in relationship man to woman - woman to man is muci , mucika, mucus, mucuska! Or use by girl child! The ' tati' = tata ! for example : the old tata is going somewhere ! But the tata, tatus, tatuska, use by boy child :)
Here in Philippines, we usually call our grandma either "inang or lola" and grandpa either "tatang or lolo".

Lola-Grandma
Lolo-Granpa
Philippines.
In Swedish we have 2 words for grandmother and 2 words for grandfather depending on which side of the family.
We are combining the old swedish words for mother and father.
mother = mor
father = far
Mothers side:
Grandmother = Mormor (mother mother)
Grandfather = Morfar (mother father)
Father's side:
Grandmother = Farmor (father mother)
Grandfather = Farfar (father father)
Mother/Mum = Mamma
Father/Dad = Pappa
Sister = Syster
Brother = Bror
Cousin = Kusin
I'm not going in to the half/step family to much beacuse we have several ways of saying it but one way is similiar to the finnish but you switch the words: stepbrother = velipuoli = halvbror (halv = half)
So my dads from finland and I'm born Australian. I've always referred to my grandparents as mummu and pappa?
Those are regional words. Where I'm from, we say mummi and ukki. Finns usually understand all variants, but where they are used a lot and where not varies. Pappa is actually a colloquial word for father in Swedish and that's probably where it comes from.
in Romanian we use ,,mami'' for mom and ,,tati'' for dad. It's also a bit affective to call them like this.
I really enjoyed your video, bravo :))
Thanks for sharing, that's really interesting! Kiitos!
I call my Grandma mummo which means big mother of the family.I am from Etela Africansta.
I'm from Uruguay, I call my grandmothers VOVO and NANA, and my grandfather ABU
It might be a little late to comment, but here it goes anyway. In some areas in Argentina, like my city Rosario (just by the Parana River) we have some words you could consider slang to refer to our parents. We can refer to them as 'viejo'/'vieja', which are Spanish for 'old'. We often talk about 'mi viejo' or 'mi vieja'; I guess it's like saying 'my old man' in English (Can you say 'my old woman'? I've never heard it.) We use those words both to talk about our parents or to address them. For example, "Vieja, ¿te acordás de...?" (Mum, do you remember...?) It's an affectionate term, and we don't consider it disrespectful or rude.
Children don't use them, though. In general, people who use them start doing so in their teens. I guess your parents need to be 'old(er)' to be called this way. 🤣
The word for grandparents is 'abuelo/a'. 'Abue' o 'abu' for short. People often use 'nonno' and 'nonna' if their grandparents are Italian, which is very common due to immigration.
Never too late to comment! :) thank you very much, super interesting to read so appreciate you taking the time to share! :D
Thank you for this video. Question: how do you say something like "first cousin 3 times removed"? Also interesting to learn that Veli means brother, as I've seen people with names like Veli-Matti ______, which rather makes it sound like they are in the clergy, in family trees and among DNA matches.
More often without the hyphen, as it turns out, and Veli can appear before or after the given name.
@@harrikotikangas 3 Veli-Matti matches on MyHeritage. Two are in their 60's. One is in his 50's. Checked to see if Kotikangas gave me any hits, it doesn't. Should mention that my number of matches with the given name 'Veli-Matti' is probably lower than what may be the norm for other people with Finnish ancestry since I'm 1/8 Finnish and, hence, will have a lower number of total matches connected to Finland than someone with a higher amount of Finnish ancestry.
Hello Kat ! In Mexico grandmother is Abuela, but we tend to say everything in diminutive, so we say abuelita for grandma and abuelito for Grandpa. In my case y call her " Abu".
Nice video ! I guess it was missing the words for " only child" , "husband"," wife" and grandchildren.🤔
Have a nice day!
Oh that's right, maybe I'll have to make a part 2 xD In any case: Only child: Ainoa lapsi, husband: mies/aviomies, wife: vaimo, puoliso = partner, grandchildren: lapsenlapsi (singular) lapsenlapset (plural) or "minulla on kaksi lapsenlapsea -> I have two grandchildren" :)
@@KatChatsFinnish awwww kiitos paljon ! Looking forward to your next video! 😊 All of them are so useful!! ✨☺️
@@KatChatsFinnish lapsenlasta!
Here in Turkish;
Grandma= Babaanne(for your father's mother)
Grandma= Anneanne( for your mother's mother)
Grandpa=Dede(both)
Ja kiitos paljon💜
alright, in German I used to call my grandma "Oma", and my grandpa "Opa". The "O" is pronounced in a very long way, couldn't find an english word with the same pronounciation...
In Maharashtra, India, in Marathi language we call-
Grandmother- Ajji
Grandpa- Ajoba
🙃
I always called my grandma mummo but spelled it Muma and pronounced it as that. Only recently have I learned otherwise 😅 she's part Finnish so I guess she didn't know enough to correct me. Also we live in the states.
Grandma in Philippines is Lola
Grandpa is Lolo
I call my mother Inang and father tatang. From the Philippines
حلوة
I'm from America and the grandparent names are everywhere. I call mine Naynay and Pawpaw. My other grandma we just called her Grammy.
Here in the Philippines
Grandma- lola
Grandpa- lolo
I'm from Russia. We call mother "mama" and father "papa". Son would be "sin" and daughter is "doch". Grandmother is "babushka" and grandfather is "dedushka". Cousin is very similar to english word it sounds same but it's written like kusin(кузин)
I am now in Myanmar with a job in a company and a business.👍
i thought the plural was made by adding a -t to the end of the word. But here, sisko is siskoa and not siskot, so i guess the plurar "form" changes with the case of the word you want to apply the plurar to
Yeah, but in this case we have a word "sisko" in partitive case, SINGULAR. After numerals (2,3,4 and more) you have to put your noun into partitive case, singular - yksi koira - kaksi koiraa.
@@alisavirtanen41 thank you for your answer :)
Okay so in Finnish the noun doesnt take the plurar form after a numeral.
Setä (paternal uncle) and täti (aunt) can also be used as general terms for a man or a woman who is older than you. Preferably not to their face, though. It's a bit jocular and sometimes used to slight or insult that person, as in to hint that they're out of touch with the modern world.
Kiitoksia!
Greetings from İstanbul 🌹 I love all your videos. ..thank you 😊
Im phils. We call grandpa and grandma as Lolo and Lola, respectively.
I love that!
In my mother tongue Tamil, from Tamil Nadu, India : Mother - "Amma", Father - "Appa", Grandmother- "Paatti", Grandfather - "Thatha".
In Persian we also call Dokhtar for Tytär.
Sounds very similar to German "Tochter"!
Is käly used for sister-in-law? And what is the plural, e.g. "two sisters -in-law" - is it in the partitiivi case as "kaksi kälyjä" - Google translator sometimes gives it as "son" or "2 puppies"!! Is "kaksi sisarta" correct? Kiitos paljon!
Yeah that would be the most common use. Plural would be "kaksi kälyä" I think (I've barely ever heard this word tho idk how common it is, or maybe just not in my circle xD ) and yes it would be "kaksi sisarta".
@@KatChatsFinnish
Kiitos! Opiskelen taas suomea melkein 20 vuoden jälkeen. Videosi ovat erittäin hyviä.
Finnish dies not use plural after number but singular partitive so it would be "kälyä".
Also there is a word "kälynen" which means really bad.
❤️
Hi! How you say younger/older siblings? 'Cause in many languages they say 'younger' 'brother' , 'older' 'sister' , in hugerian we have totally different words for them (báty =older brother, öcs = younger brother, nővér =older sister, húg=younger siter) So how it is in finnish?
I called my grandma 'mama',my son call my mom 'nagyi' , both are the shorter version for 'nagymama' .
Older sister = isosisko, older brother = isoveli
little sister = pikkusisko, little brother = pikkuveli
I hope that answered your question :)
@@KatChatsFinnish thank you :)
Of one wanted to speak neutrally on a third person I would say "nuorempi/vanhempi veli". However, if you talk of your own brothers you would say "isoveli/pikkuveli".
What's the Finnish for niece and nephew?
How about the slang for brother = broidi and sister = systeri. Helsinki slang!.
Uncle Setä and Eno, if your uncle is from your Mom's side it is Eno, if from your father's side it is Setä
A Nigeria from Igbo speaking part
My grandpa is called NNANNA
My grandma is NNENNE
MOTHER. NNE
FATHER. NNA
Minulla on kaksoset; kaksi tyttöä. Is it correct Kat? And what is husband & wife in Finnish? Kiitos! 🥰
Yes correct! :) Husband is "mies" and wife is "vaimo"
@@KatChatsFinnish Kiitos paljon! ☺️🙏🏻
I call my grandma " γιαγιά" . Γιαγιά is called in Greece ❤️
Uncle can be either a setä (dad's brother) or an eno (mom's brother). The Finnish language doesn't have an all-purpose word for a parent's brother like English does.
Thanks for all the comments recently by the way, very helpful and insightful!
Yes, and that why the translator of Donal Duck got it wrong. There all are sister's brothers but the translation uses "setä".
Also Finnish does not have special words for niece and nephew, you need to write for example "veljenpoika" or "sisarenpoika".
Good day! Kath,
I am just confused on how would I know when to add “a” the word of “serkku”. Just like you gave an example to it. “Minulla on kolme serkkua”. The original word of cousin is serkku right? But in a sentence it became serkkua.. how come?? 🤔
Oh! "serkkua" is in the partitive grammatical case (you can look this up). Serkku is singular in it's basic form. One rule for the partitive case is you have to use this form (with the -a ending) after all numbers except for 1. So: 0 serkkua, 1 serkku, 2 serkkua, 3 serkkua, 4 serkkua 5 serkkua etc. That's why I can't say "minulla on 3 serkku" because mentioning I have 3 cousins means the word cousin has to be in partitive. (hope that makes sense!)
Here is a link you can read more about partitive: uusikielemme.fi/finnish-grammar/finnish-cases/grammatical-cases/the-partitive-case-partitiivi
In Saksa we call our Grandparents OMMA and OPPA or OMA and OPA
Or even OMI and OPI.
I call my mummo -Apong Baket, and I call my vaari -Apong Lakay. Mä on kotoisin Nueva Ecijassa, Mä on filippiiniläinen. We use different dialects in the Philippines, it's like every region has their own dialect😅.
From Chile: abuelo, tata = grandpa. Abuela = grandma. From Brazil: avô, ioiô = grandpa. Avó, iaiá = grandma.
maadar bozorg= grandmother , pedar bozorg= grandfather, which bozorg means grand in english and Maadar = Mother, pedar = father
in slang, father can be also "iskä"
😊😊😊😘😘😘
I'm Finnish and I call dad "iskä"
Ilove 😘❤️💕one to one ☝️
You are so cute
i called my gramma umama….am from the Gambia
Oon puolalainen. Me puhumme babcia, babunia - isoäiti ja dziadek, dziadziuś - isoisä :) mama, matka, mamusia, mamcia, mamunia, matula - äiti ja tata, tatuś, tatko, ojciec - isä :)
I call my grandma as mā in every indic language. And grandpa as dādū also in indic langs.
Btw more common in hindi and urdu of india not pakistan.
Ā is a hard long a and ū is a long u like in the word hvyää
All indian languages are not indo european there are Dravidian and indo european. Dravidian is more related to uralic.
Even the word ja of soumi mean or in english and the word ôr (also as år) in hindi mean and urdu.
