    Seems like many Finns are commenting about the ways of saying "hello". Yes there is a lot of ways to say "hello" indeed like:
    Moro, moi, terve(also means healthy), päivää, hei, "morjens", moikka(mostly it means "goodbye", but sometimes it can also be used for saying hi) and so on.

    Just remember, the "everyone knows english in Finland" rule is one of those many rules that, when you really need it to work, fails.
    Like, when you take a wrong turn and wind up in a far forest road, then your car breaks down, and you realize you've left your cellphone somewhere, and there's a blinding blizzard out, the temperature is dropping inside the car, and suddenly there's a shape at your door that might be a bear or a Finn in a fur hat... that's usually where the rule breaks down.
    You'll still get helped though.

    The number six is on fire = Kuusi palaa
    The number six returns = Kuusi palaa
    Six of them are on fire = Kuusi palaa
    Six of then return = Kuusi palaa
    Your moon is on fire = Kuusi palaa
    Your moon returns = Kuusi palaa
    Six pieces = Kuusi palaa

  • @Finpoju19
    @Finpoju19 9 років тому +3

    This is a bit of a problem with
    non-finnish people, and that is what we call "aste vaihtelu" essentially what that means is that if you are trying to say yes by saying joo and instead you say jo, then it is a completely different word.
    Joo means yes, and
    jo means already
    the best phrase to demonstrate this is "Kokoo koko kokko kokoon"
    Wich has the meaning of build up the whole bonfire.
    Kokoo (kokoa) means gather (in this case build up)
    Koko means whole
    Kokko means bonfire and
    Kokoon wich means together
    This is a demonstration, that shows you how much a single letter can mean in the finnish language
    Another example is
    Tuli - tuuli
    Tuli means fire and tuuli means wind

  • @Hairysteed
    @Hairysteed 8 років тому +20

    Regarding your pronunciation. You have the sounds pretty much spot on, but I would recommend practicing the differences between short and long sounds a little bit with minimal pairs such as "Tuli-tuuli-tulli", "kylä-kyllä-kyylä(=derog. 'stalker')", or - if you dare - try the notorious "Mr Kokko! Assemble the whole bonfire together!" - "Kokko! Kokoo koko kokko kokoon!" ;D

  • @666FeetDeep
    @666FeetDeep 8 років тому +12

    Yes = kyllä, joo (not "jo", which means "already"). You gotta be careful in Finnish with long and short vowels, and also single and double consonants. Good example: tuli/tuuli/tulli. Tuli = fire, tuuli = wind, tulli = customs.
    Also, where did you get the "toaletti" from? It's understandable, yes, but I never heard it being used in everyday talk. I live in Helsinki, but I think all Finland uses "vessa" for toilet.
    OK, those were my "critics". You sure have an accent, but VERY good in general for a foreigner. Where in Finland did you live? And for how long?

    Instead of "hei", almost all say "moi" nowadays, even the cashiers in supermarkets. I live in Norway and just visit, so I'm used to saying "hei". Always takes me time to learn to say moi again. And it's funny, I never breath in when I speak. "Pankkiautomaatti", ATM, is usually called "Otto", so look for those.

    The Finns also breathe in while speaking words in general, not just positive ones - the classic example is 'voi ei' ('Oh no!'), as the 'voi' may be repeated and sometimes is spoken while breathing in.

  • @tepetti
    @tepetti 7 років тому +2

    In Finnish we don't have word please like in English. If you want to order a coffee, do not say "Kahvi, olkaa hyvä". This sounds like you are giving coffee for the waitress. If you want coffee say "Kahvi, kiitos" or just "kahvi".
    Olkaa hyvä works in sentences like "this way, please", "tätä tietä, olkaa hyvä".

  • @Lawh
    @Lawh 10 років тому +3

    I think it might actually be a bit better sometimes to learn finnish from someone who is not finnish, and has an accent, because pronouncing finnish can be a bitch.. You'll get stuck on the basic words and never get anywhere if you try too hard. Finns tend to respect anyone at trying, and they will correct you pretty much only if you want them to. So learning the words and then using them in context will get you pretty far, so don't worry too much of the pronunciation, at least at first.

  • @trikrank7522
    @trikrank7522 3 роки тому +1

    I'm a finn and I've never heard or witnessed anybody saying something while breathing in, unless there's a certain situation like gasping for air or something. It could also be so that you've met really "special people" and I understand, given that you've spent time in Turku :D

  • @estaw6098
    @estaw6098 8 років тому +6

    England is Englanti in Finnish! "Englannissa" means "IN England". When you say you speak a language you add an A to the end of the word i.e. "Puhun saksaa, puhun englantia" but "Puhun suomea". And there's no capital letter on any noun for a language, this is Finnish we're writing, not English ;)

  • @Riituuu
    @Riituuu 10 років тому +1

    Just to correct you a bit; "England" is not actually "Englannissa" (Englannissa actually means in England in Finnish). "England" in Finnish is "Englanti". But you are correct in that "Englannista" means "from England". And also as someone already mentioned "jo" does not mean "yes" ("jo" in Finnish means already). The correct written form for the words you mean is "joo" which is similar in meaning to yes, but is quite informal.

    We don't really have almost any accents, because we say the words as they are written, so there is really not much pronounciation on the words.
    The only eception really is the R-letter bacause in finnish it's sharp and you use your tounge when you say it, and in english it's kinda soft.
    I personally really don't have problems with the pronounciation in english but i use the english pronounciation only when i'm not speaking with other finnish people, but there are some people who can have this problem.

  • @Zestence
    @Zestence 5 років тому

    It's honestly not necessary to try to speak Finnish as a tourist. Most Finns understand English perfectly well and don't find it offensive if you just speak English. The vast majority of Finns won't care one bit if you don't understand a single word of Finnish. All Finns care about is communicating efficiently, whatever language is the easiest for both sides is better. The number one thing you can do to annoy a Finn is to make things harder than they have to be. If you want to show off your Finnish skills then do it when hanging out with people you've befriended, don't try to force yourself to use Finnish when asking for directions for example because that will only slow things down.
    Also Finns are usually pretty excited when they get a chance to speak English, especially with a native speaker, so they will be more than happy to speak English back to you. This is actually a bit of a problem for people who want to learn Finnish because Finns will instantly switch to English when non-natives are present and that can make practicing Finnish really difficult. When it inevitably happens, just remember that it's not meant as an insult towards your Finnish language skills or anything, it's just that Finns are like electricity when communicating and always take the path of least resistance.

    The way you pronounce sounds like hungarian :) And I'm not hungarian but I heard people speak that language and now I just realised it's like finnish lol

    I thought good night was Hyvää ilta? Is Hyvää yötä a slight variation of this? I'm confused. My language book I have says Hyvää ilta is good night-- so is there just two ways to say it?
    Thanks for your help.

    Actually what you said about us finns that, whether we are 2 or 102 years old, we would know english. NO. Only the younger people. People older than 50-60 are most of the time very bad in english.

      I guess it depends on where in Finland you meet Finns, even which job they do, what their interests are. I studied English in nineteen sixties , there were lots of people studying English at the universities and language institutes. Of course one cannot say "everyone", my Australian husband thought so in Norway and asked me to go to Ikea in Oslo, and of course I probably got the only shop assistant who did not speak English.

      Been to Sweden a couple of times as well and I have never encountered a Dane/Swede/Norwegian without an at least alright command of English. (No matter what age )
      Maybe it's because you guys don't get a dubbed version of English/American series and movies.
      Same goes for people from Belgium and the Netherlands.
