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.
My cousins who are half finish had to take Finish lessons and none of them understood it and they found it really hard, I hear my auntie speaking Finnish a lot and she’s taught me basic Finnish which is helpful
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.
Two words can mean alot example The pruce is on fire = Kuusi palaa The spruce returns = Kuusi palaa 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
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
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
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?
Nice video! I love it... but you said "hyvää juota" which means "give the good one something to drink" , not "hyvää yötä" :D ... Keep up the good work!! I am teaching my friends to speak Finnish and I found this very helpful! old video, timeless content! Thank you!
+Zasi24 I´m sorry I didn´t mean to offend you, but for people trying to learn a new language the teacher should know how to speak it. But you are almost there so I hope you don´t hate me for my comments :) I´m really sorry!!
Hyvää huomenta sinulle. I see you are teaching your friends to learn Finnish! I'm trying to learn too. My question is, do you by any chance plan to upload videos as well? I would definitely check them out. :) Kiitos. Moi moi!
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.
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".
I was looking for a second language to learn.(I'm studying in Australia at the moment) I'm Turkish. I checked, which language easy to learn for me then I found Finnish! Seriously some of the letters are totally same and grammar same as well (however, of course, is not easy but trying is free)
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.
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
Hello Finland i love your language because its so unique and twisted :D Chciałabym się nauczyć Fińskiego , bo jest równie dziwny jak Polski:D Greets from Poland:)
Watching this video makes me see how complex finnish is, what comes to the grammar compared to english. I'm finnish but my native language is swedish, as it is for some of us on the west coast
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 ;)
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.
Awesome vid man, hope crazy finnish enthusiastics see that, or plain refugees in here. In every country, you need to learn the native language. Cheers from Suomi!
LatePelaa That's mean. Do English people laugh at your Finnish accent. Anyway, it's choked ON my water. I almost choked on my cake when got your prepositions wrong!!
"Olkaa hyvä" and "ole hyvä" actually have the same meaning " you're welcome" or "here you are" (for example when you give someone something to eat). "Olkaa hyvä" is formal and "ole hyvä" is informal. In Finnish there is no word for please.
But he forgot to tell, many of the finnish people are bilingual and also speak Swedish! And there are some areas and places in Finland where they have Swedish as a main language!
Usually in finland when you say "hyvää päivää" to somebody random, they think that you're kinda wierd, since finnish people are a bit shy and closed in, but when you get to know somebody, they'll be more open. However Sometimes this is not the case
For a foreigner, your pronounciation is stellar. Most finns luckily don't really care if someone doesn't speak the language, we are more often than not happy to speak english with foreigners.
miten olet voinut? minä jo puhun hyvin suju Suomea avulla sinusta. minä jo katsoin noin 10 vuotta sitten kun alkanut oppi Suomen kieltä ensimmainen kertaa kautta tämä video kanavalta. paljon kiitoskia. toivottavasti että olet pärjää hyvin ja terve elämänmenossa
Aw lovely! I want to correct a few, because I'm a perfectionist, but people can understand with those ones too : ) England - Englanti Do you speak English/German? - Puhutko englantia/saksaa? Great job!
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.
Funny how the double vocals at the end of the words are so hard to English people to say! :D like in "Hyvää" or "olkaa". They should be said way longer. And the "toaletti" is totally funny too, you see it used only in few places...
What are u people shouting about his pronunciation, of course it's bad, hi's not Finnish! I'm guessing this vid was mostly for the tourists so that they can learn a bit the language so that they don't seem like assholes when visiting Finland. He was also saying nice things about Finland/Finnish people so that's a big + too :). Nice video!
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.
Minna ei en puhu Suomista.... Easy language (huh?!). Every letter has one sound, no silent letters, no masculine/feminine nouns. Finnish in America froze around 1920. Here new words came from English ( carri for car, etc.) and the languages diverged.
Hi Hello, i love your videos, They are very interesting and, instructive.I need to ask you something, i apprecciate if you will help me. i want to go to firenze, but firts i go to bologna then i go by train to firenze,i want to buy the tickets, but ill by there in the machines right? and you know whats the difference between ntv ilato, or frecciarossa?and the valor of the tickets? please... :D
Good video, but 8:08 is wrong. It's "Puhutko Englantia?" and "Puhutko Saksaa?". Also, you should make your double consonants and vowels to last longer.
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.
Now i know hardest language ever.. but i think is'nt hard cause i think Is same with my language.. but thanks for teach me how to be good suomi language
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.
England is Englanti, just pointing that one out;) but good job, idk why the heck Im watching this cos Im finnish, I guess I need to learn more finnish:D
im from finland and i have absolutely no idea why i am watching this.
I feel you bruh.
+DovahCast me too

Not same, but learning :P
I started to learn Finnish for curiosity a few time ago and I'm really loving it.
Kiitos! Greetings from Sao Paulo, Brazil.
I never thought I would learn so much about basics of the Finnish language from an American , thank you very much that was very useful
Great video even 9 years later. Thanks!

"Hyvää juota" LOL!! You think you're saying good night, but you're saying good drink.
Mark McEla and they both make me just as happy :)
+Ellie McEla "A good drink" would be "hyvä juoma".
"Hyvää juota" means something like "give drinks repeatedly to a good (person)".
+Ellie McEla Americans don't have Åå Ää Öö on their
their what?
Their hands..? Their alphabet..? No idea
My cousins who are half finish had to take Finish lessons and none of them understood it and they found it really hard, I hear my auntie speaking Finnish a lot and she’s taught me basic Finnish which is helpful
Please note: Knowing how to pronounce all those words and questions is one thing. Being prepared for the Finnish answer is another one. :o)
Just remember, the "everyone knows english in Finland" rule is one of those many rules that, when you really need it to work, fails.

You'll still get helped though.

+MissV Americans don't have Åå Ää Öö on their
Hyvää juota???
finnish people say how its write,y is y its not change,i guess i should make tutorial as finnish
please do it, I am going to learn this language
Two words can mean alot example The pruce is on fire = Kuusi palaa
The spruce returns = Kuusi palaa
The number six is on fire = Kuusi palaa
The number six returns = Kuusi palaa
Six of them are on fire = Kuusi palaa

Sopii.
Mein gott.
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
The first words I learned in finnish were "kuka" and "kukka" so I could tell other people what's the difference :D
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
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.

I think they could be interchangeable ;)
+Sheik Asor RehtnaP Knip terrible pronounciation though
+Annika Winberg suuuure... I'm sure everyone else's fourth/fifth language is excellent

Hi! Planning a trip to Finland and very grateful that you have made this video!
4:30 i actually don't know what toaletti is, but we usually just say "vessa"
The "Bussy" made my day
Hyvää juota :DDDD
Love these videos. My Maternal family came from North Finland. It was great to the language I so long ago had forgotten.
Im half Finnish and Im going there for 2 weeks to see my grandparents and cousins! :D
"Thank You! I'm getting better and better with learning Finnish each day.''
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.

+Ralf Finne samma här. ;en detta var ganska kul
Honestly, from what I have gathered so far, this may be the easiest language to pronounce for Germans.
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 ;)

I enjoy learning from you. Give more
Thanks tim
"Olkaa hyvä" and "ole hyvä" actually have the same meaning " you're welcome" or "here you are" (for example when you give someone something to eat). "Olkaa hyvä" is formal and "ole hyvä" is informal.
In Finnish there is no word for please.
That's why I couldn't find it... because there's no please
But he forgot to tell, many of the finnish people are bilingual and also speak Swedish! And there are some areas and places in Finland where they have Swedish as a main language!
Hi there, I'm really enjoying your videos, you're funny and easy to understand, even I can understand you, despite my bad bad english. thanks
Finnish is very hard language related to Estonian and some languages in Ural Mountains. Only Finnish words I know is NOKIA and Volvo.
Volvo is Latin for "I turn (around)"
Isn't Volvo Swedish?
Volvo, nokia on yhtiö tai oli
***** Eesti on samansukuinen kieli kuin Suomi, Unkari kuuluu samaan sarjaan.
Nokia in itself is a name of a city, but in modern Finnish at least it doesn't mean anything. NOKIA was a Finnish it-brand.
Usually in finland when you say "hyvää päivää" to somebody random, they think that you're kinda wierd, since finnish people are a bit shy and closed in, but when you get to know somebody, they'll be more open. However Sometimes this is not the case
toilet=vessa
+Jonttu16 They're looking for vessa if you know what i mean ( pitbull )
I would say: toilet = terveyslaitos (can I go to a toilet= voinko menna terveyslaitokseen). Ok this is a bit advanced , lol.
+TryingTo Correct terveyslaitos = clinic :D

Aw lovely! I want to correct a few, because I'm a perfectionist, but people can understand with those ones too : )
England - Englanti
Do you speak English/German? - Puhutko englantia/saksaa?
Great job!
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.
Funny how the double vocals at the end of the words are so hard to English people to say! :D like in "Hyvää" or "olkaa". They should be said way longer.
And the "toaletti" is totally funny too, you see it used only in few places...
yes "vessa" would be correct word.
At that "Do you speak" section, the correct way to say "Do you speak English" is "Puhutko englantia" and "Puhutko Saksaa". (It's same for "puhun")
What are u people shouting about his pronunciation, of course it's bad, hi's not Finnish!

you are the best and i like your tichort
Good video, but 8:08 is wrong. It's "Puhutko Englantia?" and "Puhutko Saksaa?". Also, you should make your double consonants and vowels to last longer.
Kukaan ei täällä Suomessa kysy missä on TOALETTI koska se ei ole sana! Yleisimmin kysytään missä wc on? Tai vessa
Please - Antaisitko
You're Welcome - Olet tervetullut
Yes - Kyllä / Joo
Toilet - Vessa (NOT Toaletti, if you say Toaletti no one understand.
But you can say Toiletti
Well, somebody maybe can't understand that.
So spell: Vessa.
Sir, olkaa hyva, when there are 2 of aa it is pronounced as longggggg a, kiitos paljon.
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
So helpful!

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.
