There is something wrong with the app, there seems to be someone whose Finnish is more like the colloquial language of young people. For example, "She reads" does not say "it reads" but "she reads" and "He is laughing" does not say "it is laughin" but "he is laughin". In English, she and he are expressed with the same neutral word "he", as I think you already know. So that "it" word could only be used if it were a dog who is reading or laughing. 😂
To be fair..the app literally said it is SW Dialect (I assume it means South-western). So it is not "correct written language", but the way it is spoken. Bear in mind that written Finnish is a fairly new concept, but the language has been spoken for a very long time.
People from ”pääkaupunkiseutu” speak like that. Thats like 1.5 million people. The app does say it’s a dialect and not ”official” written finnish. If you would actually want to live in lets say Helsinki or Espoo this would be more useful than learning ”official” finnish.
Hello Mauro. I hope this message finds you well. I randomly bumped in your recording, and I have to say, I was truly surprised, since Italians are notorious for not being into foreign language learning. Of course, there are exceptions. I have to congratulate you for taking the challenge and courage to broadcast in English, in the first place. As far as learning Finnish, I encourage you to pursue your objective. Finland is a beautiful country and Finnish is truly a fascinating language, although bad accented. Do not be discouraged. For your information, there are quite few titles available to learn Finnish, that I could recommend. Cheerios.
I really wanna see more content of you learning finnish, but to be totally honest this app was very dissapointing. "Se" means "It" in english, "hän" means "he" or "she" (SW dialect doesn't change this), but to be fair that is commonly used in the same context. Do duolingo or something instead? Anyway, good video.
Languages evolve over time. It does not matter for a single bit what the official translations or use cases are if most people use completely different words. Dialects do change the language. ”Mie” isnt an official word either but is a part of a dialect and replaces the original word. ”Se” replaces ”hän” in most of south-west finland. Thats just how most people speak
I believe in comprehensible input. So, listening/reading stuff that you mostly understand but it contains new words. I think it's great to learn words in the context because you learn how they're used and their nuances and connotations better :)
Your pronounce is amazing but if I would give you one tip when you say words with k try to leave "h" from behind k. Like kylmä you say kind of khylmä like they would say in English. Try just saying short hard k and leave h sound away. I think that would make it even better. Not trying to be a hole just to give small advice. Your Finnish pronounce is better than my English.
That "h" sound is also used in swedish, not swedish speaking finns though, but the swedish they speak in Sweden. It's called aspiration. We don't use it in finnish.

Why is everyone so mad about this app teaching the spoken form of Finnish?? It's way easier and more useful than the written form.

Looks like a nice service, they often just have the standard Finnish.
Seems like there was a checkbox to show that alongside phonetic!
Just curious, why are you studying Finnish? 🙂
when you going to finland?

Thanks for the advice, i will keep it in mind!

How difficult is it to write Finnish on an Italian keyboard when the letters ä and ö are missing?
On kylmä and sataa ... In Finland ... really?
