Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
@@davecadand tulitikut is matches.
@@datatravelleri Literally "Fire sticks". We like to keep things simple :D
lyijy = lead kynä = pen...so leadpen. or lead pencil
Yeah we somehow talk about graphite as lead. Don't ask me why. I can only guess that the color is close to lead
Little tip for you to remember left and right. Think about the word VolvO. V=Vasen is on the left side and O=Oikea is on the right side. I hope this would be useful for you
Thanks! I'll remember that now :D
Oon suomalainen ja en itekkään oo kuullu tosta
Ite *ennen* ajattelin tien...
En oo ennen aatellu tollee mut aika hyvä 🤔
This also helps those Volvo drivers who can't distinguish between letf/right in the traffic. The logo is right there in front of your eyes on the steeeing wheel.
"Missä on verkkokauppa?" Yep. That's where you get the electronics :D
No, fishing nets :D

3:30 Dave: "Vasen" never heard it before. Just less than 10 seconds ago there was a question what picture is "vasen". 😂 Btw, you guessed it right Dave! And vasen means left. ↩
Lausuminen siihen oli kyllä 👌
6:14 hotelli? Trivago! You have watched some tv
Tai sittevaa meemejä

Joo mäkin oon nähny ton mainoksen lukemattomat kerrat😂ei siltä vaan voi välttyä.
finnish is a great language:
the spruce 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 them return=kuusi palaa
your moon is on fire=kuusi palaa
your moon returns=kuusi palaa
six peaces=kuusi palaa
😮
Your moon is on fire= sun kuu palaa. Tai voit sanoo sinun kuusi on tulessa
Ja eiks burn meinaa palaa? On fire= on niinku tulessa
*six pieces
Some extra points for thinking that “please” doesn’t have an exact translation in Finnish. “Ole kiltti” is sort of equivalent to the adverb of it.
“Ole kiltti” can also be same as “be nice”... etc.
"Please" may also mean "jooko" like "Can you please stop?" is "Voitko jooko lopettaa?" or "Voitko kiltti lopettaa?"
@@miinttik00k10 voit myös lopettaa

@@hohoo4067 ittel kuulostaa molemmat lähes yhtä oikeilta käännöksiltä, ehkä enemmä mul be nice = ole kiltisti tai riippuu enemmänki asian yhteydestä että mistä puhutaan ja milloin puhutaan

Funniest vid you've ever done man, the tarvitse lääkäri made me howl laughing! And trivago too!
Thanks, Mike! It was a really fun video to make so I'm glad you thought it was fun to watch :D

Ensimmäinen asia mitä bongasin oli ow logo ::D
@@mehf. En nyt Forknut pelaajana paljoa sanoisi.
Technically Finnish doesn't have a word for please. Ole kiltti (be nice) and pyydän (I ask) are the usual translations but neither is an actual translation of the word.
thanks for the clarification! I thought I was going crazy!
And actually most people nowadays would just say please, but it's spelled pliis :D I don't think I've ever used those more official ones. Can you please help me is just commonly Voitko pliis auttaa :)
@@sannakaijamaenpaa9013 The word has a little soft and feminine taste to it when used like that in Finnish.
We just add stuff to certain verbs to say "please":
antaa (to give) -> annatko (would you give) -> antaisitko (would you please give)
saada (to have) -> saanko (may I have) -> saisinko (may I please have)
Or just say "kiitos" instead of please:
Olut, kiitos. -> A beer, please.
I’m from Finland, and honestly he did really good! The actual test itself has a lot of typos tho and there technically isn’t a word for please but oh well. Congratulations 🤣🙌🏼
Not only did you completely ace that test, but your pronouncing has gotten grazy good too! Not to mention the fact that many words you got right just by "kinda feels like it" which must mean you're subconciously absorbing finnish :D Again, feeling like a proud sister over here!
Trivago. =D Hyvä Dave! Your Finnish sense of humour is blooming.
>guesses several words
>somehow manages to guess most of the guesses right
Sir, you're much more skilled than you give yourself credit for 😂 Also, thank you for giving me something to watch while I'm dying my hair!
I wouldn't say that there were that many pure guesses. He used the method of elimination for many of the questions, knowing 2/4 or 3/4 of the words.
Dave, sun suomea on hauska kuunnella! Käytä kielitaitoasi enemmän videoissasi!
I'm really surprised how well you know Finnish and your pronunciation is actually very good!
Great video! Made me smile :)
7:50 i was so hyped when dave started showing off his language skills!!
"Herne-maissi-paprika"
made me laugh so hard I think my cheeck muscle sprained a bit 😂😂
This is great video 🧡
The ones you got wrong: leg is sääri (though Finnish sääri means the part from foot to knee, doesn't leg include the thigh too? I think most Finns say jalka for leg and jalkaterä for foot!), pen is kynä and pencil is indeed lyijykynä. Sateenvarjo is umbrella. Your choice of tulitikut (fire + sticks) means matches and nenä mean nose. But hey, excellent job!
Why do I count four mistakes? :D
@@Susitar He knew the umbrella
he clicked back and forth but clicked right at the end
@@cayenigma Oh, I just see the check mark on the matches.
You have never heard *juna* and you live in helsinki, well that's kinda odd if ya ask me.
I was wondering that too. How the fuck he doesn't know such a basic word lol
The best way to learn Finnish is to use it in conversation...You should discord with fans to improve your Finnish 👌 Best regards, swe-speaking Finn 😇
That's a good idea!
@@davecad I would join you. Every time you do "learning Finnish videos" I'm thinking "that's a waste of time if he's never gonna use it" cause using it it's really the only way to learn it. When I moved to Iceland I stopped using English after three months and told everyone to talk to me only in Icelandic (I spoke a little Swedish so I had some idea how the language was). First couple weeks were horrible. I could not understand anything anyone was saying and I had to tell everyone to stop talking English all the time. But then something happened with my brains and one day I realized I can understand and talk. :D
Indeed, would love to see different scenarios as well 😂 Like for something in a store etc... Best of luck!
Bra jobbat! 😄 Just so you know, ljusröd is only a thing in Finland, the common Swedish word is rosa
It is pretty bad to have a language test that has typos.... But well done Dave!
Almost all right, you made me proud honestly. Keep learning Finnish and I'll keep learning English so we'll meet in the comments 😊
Thanks! That sounds like a plan :D
Dave, what is 'jalkapallo'? You can't go back to UK, if you don't know that.
And that is where you remember jalka & pallo.
You've have improved so much! I'm proud of you
This on trending! Congrats!
"Who invented this 💀language " 😭🤣🤣
The "please" one was a hard one.
Here it says "please" is "ole kiltti", which could work if you say "OLE KILTTI ja tuo se minulle" = "please bring it to me". Literally "ole kiltti" means "be nice". I would not say that to everyone.
But since "please" don't really have word in finnish, there's so many ways to say please. Like "OLE HYVÄ ja sulje ovi" = "Please close the door". "Ole hyvä" literally "be good".
And of course the most common one, "kiitos". "Vettä, kiitos" = "Water, please". I think "kiitos" is safest "please" word.
You are learning man. Keep up the good work
Good job Dave, you're doing great with finnish! So proud of you, keep up the good work!♥
This is fun that contains Finnish, so it must be Funnish... (i'm sorry. My humor today is soooo dry...)
LOL! :-D
please... never comment on youtube ever again
@@n4rttu But can i comment on comments? Pleaseeee!???
You're so funny! Also died at "...hotelli -trivago" 😂 But you did great 👌🏼
ACED IT!!! what a flow! i was sooo heartbroken when you got the first one wrong! i was so much with you in the "on the roll" feeling
Dave you come long way, watched your first videos way back when you were learning finnish. Now you knew a lot more, so no surprise you are understanding a lot when you hear people talking in finnish. Olet suomalainen kohta =)
You can speak Finnish very well!! Osaat suomea tosi hyvin!!
Lyijy = lead, kynä as you know is any pen.. so it's a lead pen = pencil :) It's a crazy language for sure but those compound words are nice because you don't need to learn so many specific words. I would've liked to see your face at "kuulakärkikynä" ... of course that's easy if you know the parts: kuula = ball, kärki = tip/point, kynä = pen, so it's a ballpoint pen, surprisingly close to the English counterpart :) Others you weren't so sure about were oikea = right (also as in a right answer = oikea vastaus), vasen = left, jalka = foot, sääri = leg, nenä = nose, juna = train, laiva = ship. Great job anyways and entertaining as always :)
I'm having a great time as a native Finnish person watching you testing yourself. I'm definitely cheering you on!
This was a really funny video. Thanks Dave!
There actually isn't a word for "please" in finnish. It's mostly just replaced with something polite, like "ole kiltti", but it's not the correct translation.
"I've guessed all those ones already, gotta be laiva" You hacked this test.. :D
Wow, you’ve been making huge progress! Keep going👍🏿
Wow, I'm proud of you! An actual improvement! 😂
If it was foodshop: Missä on ruokakauppa, And if it was electric shop: Missä onVerkkokauppa😂 that was nice 😂😂
There is an easy trick to vasen and oikea and it has to do with volvo v on the left so vasen o like oikea to the right
Ur name cracks me up
Hyvä Dave! Olen ylpeä sinusta! 👌
Omg your accent is just too adorable and i squeal everytime you get the word right! Mahtavaa!
- Missä on kauppa?
- Samperin tyhmä kysymys.
Erittäin

Missä on verkkokauppa? 😃
joo tää oli hauska :D
pystyn samaistumaan toho vahvasti :D
Tuo on liian hauska kun konteksti on oikea
You're amazing. Love to see you sometime somewhere
Haha, very good video again! You knew the words very well 👍🏼 Well done! 😀
Hieno suoritus, Dave! Suomenkielen opintosi toi mieleeni seuraavanlaisen jutun. Silloin kun suomalaisten englannin kielen taidot olivat hiukan vaatimattomammat, Suomeen muuttanut Neil Hardwick teki televisioon hauskan ohjelman ”Hello Hello Hello”. Löydät sen UA-camsta, jos kiinnostaa.
Och Samma på engelska: Great done, Dave! Your study of Finnish conjured to my mind next kind of thing. When Finns English was a bit more modest, Neil Hardwick, who moved to Finland, made a TV show called "Hello Hello Hello”. You can find it in UA-cam if you interest.

You have great language skills even when it comes to guessing the meaning, it is truly inspiring. You can be proud of yourself! An educated guess takes one far, as you demonstrate in this video. I love it how you are able to use also your Swedish skills to deduce the meaning of Finnish words.
I love your finnish learning and spelling 😄❤️ amazing video!
I really want to see dave pronounce "lentokoneensuihkuturbiinimoottorialiupseeriapumekaanikkooppilas"
Your next food testing video should be that you are testing saunamakkara that is sausage that is heated with sauna heater
I've been meaning to do this! Maybe one day!
Kivikylän löylylenkki is the best saunamakkara :p

Most of the people don’t even know our country, so it’s really cool that you are learning finnish! Loved the video ❤️
Damn dave You doin’ well🤙🏼
Dave, that was seriously impressive! Hammas.. harja .. tahna. I think you've realised that Finnish is an onomatopoetic language and you aced it! Which one sounds more like brushing .. is it tahhhhnnnaaa or harrrrrjaaa . Of couse it's the word with the rrr sound! I've been learning your language since I was 10 and now working in the city of London. Keep up the good work!!! I enjoy your videos, don't give up on Finnish .. please! ... SUBRIBED to you channel right now!
Well done! 😊👏🏼
Why Finnish is so freaking weird: It's a non-indoeuropean language, but 99% of the vocabulary consists of loanwords from indoeuropean languages, mostly from the Germanic languages, from which Finns have been loaning words from at least the last 3000 years. So it's basically a completely unrelated language to other European languages in terms of grammar, but at the same time it's entire vocabulary is basically loanwords from other languages in Northern Europe. As a result, nobody else in Europe understands Finnish because of the grammar, and even people speaking those few languages that are related to Finnish can't understand Finnish because of the vocabulary. Truly, it is a language of loneliness
I actually was in shock how the answers you guessed were mostly right !!😂😂👍🏽
I was amazed how you got almost all right even though you haven't heard all of the words before. I'm proud!
Hyvä Dave!
Your pronunciation is impressive!😃👍🏼
There basically isn’t a word for “please” in Finnish, so there are various other words and phrases used instead which fulfil the same purpose. I’d say “ole kiltti” (be kind/be so kind as to…) is a bit outdated as the only person I remember using it frequently was my grandmother. Nowadays if you just say “please” in English, basically everyone will understand you (which is what I say, as lived in the UK so long that it’s a tick by now). Another word that doesn’t have an exact equivalent is “have.” If you want to say “I have a car” you have to say “minulla on auto” (a car ’exists’ with me/I possess a car) or ”minä omistan auton” (I own a car).
This was an interesting quiz. I wonder if there’s an equivalent one for Japanese. 🤔
Great Jobb and gratulation dave
I love ur finnish spelling that is just helarious.
Nicely done Dave! Now you are ready to go outside of the third circle and see the "country side" of the Finland and learn all the dialects. =D Good luck!
Good work Dave you are so good in finnish
Hyvä Dave!!!
this was so fun video! thanks Dave! you speak very well Finnish 👌🏻🇫🇮 hotelli -> trivago :D

I think your finnish is very good!! keep learning!!🔥
Bloody well made, with a good luck aswell lol :D
"Please" is kind of word which is included in sentences pretty variable ways. It is way more simplier in English language because you just add "please" after every word if you want to be polite. In Finnish language you can use that one word in so many ways to be polite. Example "could you hand me that sugar, please", you can use "Antaisitko sokerin" where word 'antaa' (to give) is transformed into more formal word which itself is a almost same as saying "Annatko sokerin, kiitos" but antaisitko word is more like asking it in a more formal way. You can compare it more by thinking if you say "give it to me" instead of "could you give it to me" without the word please. Its formal and more polite way. "Please" as a word itself in Finnish lang is more like "kiitos" added in after the sentence which means "thank you". If you want to butter your woman next time you ask some sugar, you can say "Antaisitko sokerin, kiitos" 🙂
