- Hey there! ❤️ I'm making a different video this week and I hope you guys find it fun! They've just released the finnish language for duolingo, and we're trying it together today! I'm starting with the placement test!
I know that this is not related to music, but I thought this video could be fun as we are pretty much all feeling some attachment to Nightwish homeland here 😉 Let me know if you want to see more episodes!

"The dogs are looking for a toy" should have been correct for sure. You need context to know whether it's definite or indefinite.
I'm finnish. In my opinion your 'koirat etsivät lelua' was correct. You are correct, we do not specify if they are looking for specific toy or just a toy. You could deduce that from context, but in this there was none.

Duolingo releases Finish Courses
"Missä on vesi" and "Missä vesi on" I think both should be accepted.
Hyvä Elvann. Ymmärrät ja puhut loistavasti suomea. I would have made almost all the same wrong choices though I'm a Finn. I see Duolingo is not perfect. It would be really nice to watch this kind of learning videos more often. Continue them please.
"The dogs are looking for a toy" is exactly how I would've done it. I can't think of any context where that sounds like "the toy". "Koirat etsivät leluaan" or "Koirat etsivät sitä lelua" would've made it more explicit, but as you said, that's how the language is. Source: I'm a native Finnish speaker. Enjoy learning!
Yea it seems pretty unfair since there isn't really a way to tell if it's a definite or indefinite word, especially in an exercise like this. No articles nor suffixes to indicate it's a specific one :/
Holy s... your pronunciation is good! I mean REALLY good! And you did great otherwise too.
I'm Finnish but even i can't get full points. Finnish language has so many different word orders.
In the future i will write all my comments in Finnish.😅
This is super interesting to watch as a Finn! Like the Hilla one, I've never thought that people could see it as "Hi has something". But I guess it's obvious for fluent speakers because I don't think we have names with two letters only
This is great, thank you for posting! I'm taking the course now in preparation for moving to Finland later this year. It's great to see a community of Finnish language learners (we're such a great little sub-culture!) and how we all go through the experience.
You speak Finnish very well 😯😍😍
You been learning pretty fast, thats impressive! Proud of you! :)
Totally loved learning Finnish with you 😃 yes I shouted at the TV and everything 😂..
Hello from Canada! 😊 I actually "Finnished" (sorry, couldn't resist) the whole course this morning. 😅 I've already been studying Finnish for a few years with FinnishPod101, so I used Duolingo to challenge myself. Overall I'd say it's good, but it does have a few bugs. My main issue is that it seems extremely picky with word order/choice when translating into English (meaning that if there are multiple ways to say whatever it is in English, it will only accept one of them. None of the other courses I have on Duolingo are like that.). I definitely flipped off my computer a few times when the course didn't allow certain answers.
Your Finnish pronouciation is sooo good! You really master the pronounciation value of each Finnish letter! It is usually very difficult especially for English speakers. I know some English speakers who have lived in Finland for ages, and their Finnish pronounciation and grammar skills are still quite poor compared to yours.
I really like your pronunciation. It sounds so clear yet exotic. Hienosti suoriuduttu!
Really liked this video! I really like languages, and it was fun to see you doing that test. I just knew one Finnish word before this, so KIITOS to you :)
