You should also make a video about the *"-TON/TÖN"* suffixes cuz they also mean the opposites *(or free from smth/does not contain etc etc)* if you've not already done.
Dear KatChatsFinnish, thank you for consistently posting such helpful videos. They greatly assist me on my journey of learning Finnish. By the way, I'm from Thailand and I'm pleased that you're also making an effort to learn our language :)
I would have liked to see Kat attach this prefix to a word that has a triple-consonant cluster after the first vowel--just so we could see what sound changes are forced to occur as a result.
Estonian(language) is dialect to Finnish.. what do you think what is this word: JÄÄÄÄR? Well, let us split this word: JÄÄ = Ice ÄÄR = Edge, the edge of the ice( like a hole in the frozen water). ;) PS. Kat! ❤❤
9:31 I created some words epää+Tehdä(undo) Epää+Välttämätön(Unnecssary) Epää+ Tietoinen (unconscious) Epää+Tunnettu (unknown) Epää+Vakaa(Unstable) Epää+wanted(Unwanted)
It's derived from the verb 'epäillä' ("to doubt") with suffix '-ys' (or '-us', depending the vowel harmony). I recommend to check out english language Wiktionary, there you can see how the Finnish word are derived and also how they are inflected.
@@jixxytrix1705 The suffix -'illä' (-'illa') creates frequentative verbs. 'Epä' is the Finnish equivalent of 'un-' in modern Finnish, yes, but originally it meant something like 'not' and is derived from the negative verb e- (ei, et, emme, eivät etc. ). 'Epäillä' is frequentative verb of 'evätä' ("to deny, refuse") (earlier form of 'evätä' would have been *epätä, so it's literally *epä ("not") + -tä (suffix that creates verbs)).
the thing with italki is the pricing (for me). like 30 euro for 1h is too much for me since I seem to have an extremely underdeveloped brain, I am so fkn slow.. And if I book the cheaper option like 30min I feel the time pressure like : oh okay, now my slow ass brain need to get this shit in 30min or else Its a waste of time and money. I guess that the teachers set their own prices (?) but it would be nice if someone could have some halpahalli prices. But ill join the giveaway in and beg to Väinämöinen and Saku koivu that ill win. have a good day! xoxo. (also sorry for my bad english)
Yeah for a lot of languages you can find quite cheap pricing even only 5€ - but I think for Finnish since people can price the lessons themselves what they want they use Finnish pricing (getting a private tutor here in Finland would be around that price too online or off) they are basing the price off that. I guess language exchange is a cheaper option or finding someone who is volunteering to teach Finnish instead of trying to make a living off it :)

I'm so glad to hear this! Kiitos tosi paljon for your kind comment :)
täällä bussit kulkee epäsäännöllisesti! Ne ovat aina myöhässä!
kiitos paljon videosta 🥰
Aina myöhässä, voi ei 😨 Kiitos!! :)
I notice in your examples that vowel harmony does not affect the result. Is this the general rule for prefixes?
Kiitos paljon

@@hannunorppa5590 While interesting, I fail to see the relevance to my comment.
TripleConsonant cluster in Finnish? That's rare. Also no changes would be needed ? It's a prefix
Kiitos Kat
Kiitos!
is epä something you can put in front of every adjective and people understand, even if the combined word is not used in Finnish? Nice video!
Hmm I guess people would be able to guess what you are trying to say
❤❤❤❤Kiitos paljon

Hello, can you make more content about Etuliite Pääte
epäystavallinen? Is correct?
Yes it is!
Mä tykkään tästä
Epäterveellinen 😁😁
epä on voimakas etuliite!
Niin on!
Could anyone explain the word 'epäilys'? (doubt)
The word 'ilys' doesn't seem to mean anything...
It's derived from the verb 'epäillä' ("to doubt") with suffix '-ys' (or '-us', depending the vowel harmony).
I recommend to check out english language Wiktionary, there you can see how the Finnish word are derived and also how they are inflected.
@@closetmonster5057 That word presents the same problem. If 'epä' is 'the finnish equivalent of 'un', what is 'illä'?
@@closetmonster5057 Just checked wiktionary. it didn't help

@@jixxytrix1705 i would think it like EPÄ- comes from epäillä word, you doubt that word following is not true but opposite.

In Finnish its not the words in front of words I fear, its the words at the end of words.
Hahah 😅😅
i do agree😅.
Agreed!!😂
Is epäepäilty a word?"🤔
Google Translate renders it as "unsuspected," so I guess it is.
Never heard it before. Its not a words. Suspect epäilty (unsuspect epäepäilty) does not make sense
I don't think so
@@KatChatsFinnish unsuspected 🤪
First comment 😍
WOHOO 🤗
@@KatChatsFinnish
I am one of your biggest fan 😍
I wish I could see you in real life
@@saifsword6026 That's so kind of you to say!
