Numbers are actually pretty difficult especially if you try to understand what a Finn is saying. It's common in spoken Finnish to shorten the words for numbers. The words have different short versions for different purposes, for instance counting. Yksi - Yy (when counting) Kaksi - Kaa Kolme - Koo Neljä - Nee Viisi - Vii Kuusi - Kuu Seitsemän - See Kahdeksan - Kasi Yhdeksän - Ysi Kymmenen - Kymppi And so on.
Yeah you can't say Tram 6 in Finnish, like it's English: (English would be tempted to say: Ratikan/Raitiovaunun numero kuusi). Those have their own forms.
@@joejoeson2530 No, it´s "see", but if you ask me kahdeksan is kahe and yhdeksän is yhe and kymmenen is just kymmenen....Kasi, ysi and kymppi are not numerals, they´re more like substantives..
Actually: Hyvää päivää - Good Morning/Day Hyvää iltapäivää - Good Afternoon Hyvää iltaa - Good Evening and if you want to wish a good sleep to someone Hyvää yöta - Good night For goodbye, you can also just say "Nähdään" and omit "pian". There is also "Moi" instead of "Hei" and respectively "Moi moi" for "Hei hei". You can, in coloquial Finnish, also say "Heippa" (Bye bye) or "Moikka".

Orvon silmä kyyneliä täynnä. - Árva szeme könnyel tele. Kuka meni meidän edessämme? - Ki ment mielőttünk? Miniäni antoi voita. - Menyem adott vajat.
Interesting language. Compared to Hungarian, it sounds very similar, but the words are completely different. It's one of the most beatiful languages I've ever heard, no wonder it was an inspiration for elvish in lotr.
Moi! Olen itse suomalainen ja kun näin tämän tunsin iloa, koska tiesin, että suomenkieltä opetetaan täällä UA-camssakin. I'm also half American so I don't know why I'm watching this. Thank's for teaching our native language from Finland!

The video is good! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

Finnish grammar may be difficult, but from all the languages I have seen it certainly has one of the easiest pronunciations (compared with German, Danish, Swedish or Norwegian)
I only have trouble with the rolling r's, I can do them maybe 70% of the time, but actually my Finnish friend says they fail to do it sometimes. The funny thing is they say that English r's are difficult
Just a comment on whats said around 7.00 about the handshake and hugs. I've lived here for 3 years and never seen a man hug another man in a sober state.
A "hug" Finnish style is quickly moving the shoulders close to each other, not a hug as in other countries. I see that as often among men, as among women, it is just the greeting among friends.
I've lived here all of my life and I've never seen a man hug another man to greet someone whilst sober. That would be really weird. Women on the other hand tend hug everybody and everything.
barış is a popular name in Turkey. and that means peace. My best friend's name is Barış and I saved his number as Rauha haha but nobody understands :"(
It worked well for me. Most things she said conversationally (quickly) first, then slowed them down so we could hear it better, then said it fast again.
Thanks a lot!! I really liked the lesson. I don't actually want to learn Finnish, but being able to say some simple phrases is priceless. And I like the way the Finnish language sounds. I can only speak 4 Indo-European languages and I can say the Finnish sounds great. Thanks again! I will definitely keep on watching your videos. Kiitos paljon !
@@tndm07 There are several ways to shorten the numbers and which one to use depends on the context. There is also some variation between dialects. yks kaks kol(me) nel(jä) viis kuus seit(temä) kaheksa yheksä kymppi .... 20 = kakskyt 21= kakskytyks 22 = kakskytkaks 30 = kolkyt 33 = kolkytkolme 40 = nelkyt 44 = nelkytneljä .... 70 = seitkyt In some dialects seitsemän- -> seite- and kymmenen -> kytä. For example 70 = seitekytä. In others seitsemän- -> seis- so for example 70 = seiskytä. These work for most situations, but sometimes you might want to use these instead yy kaa koo nee vii kuu see kasi ysi kymppi (10) yytoo kaatoo kootoo neetoo (14) ... 20 = kakskyt 21 = kaatoo 22 = kaakaa 23 = kaakoo 24 = kaanee and so on When counting quickly or otherwise listing numbers. And also be aware that sometimes Finnish people often use the names of the numbers, indicated mostly by -nen ending. The closest equivalents in English are probably "fiver" and "niner" that are used sometimes in certain situations. ykkönen kakkonen kolmonen nelonen / neli- vitonen / more formally viitonen kutonen / more formally kuutonen seiska kasi / the shape is called kahdeksikko or more colloquially kaheksikko ysi kymppi If you are born in '96 you are ysikutonen. Your 5 euro bill is vitonen (like fiver in English) and 100 bill satanen. If your bus has route number 7 it is called seiska and so on.
Here in Finland we don't speak informally as this video says. That is basic-formal way to talk for people. Real informal way goes "Hei, mun nimi on Paula. Kiva tavata" or "Moro mä oon Paula. Miten menee?" or "Hei, mie oon Paula. Mukava tutustua." or.... you understand the drill and we all understand each other in Finland anyhow no matter what way of those you use.

I have heard that Finnish is one of the hardest languages to learn. I have studied French, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese, but have found Finnish quite difficult. I think that is because, it is totally unrelated to other European languages, in fact is believed to be related to Turkic, and even Korean.
It’s related to other uralic languages like Hungarian and Estonian but it’s probably hard because there isn’t many uralic languages and they dont have many speakers also they are just hard

Then there are some points of miscommunications Word for number six (6) also means plant spruce, so sometimes it may be mixed if it's numbers or plants you are talking about. And the number four (4) 'neljä' may sound like 'nälkä' which means hunger, may confuse if you are hungry or missing four of something.
In Finland, speaking formally isn't that important. You should try saying "mun nimi on [your name]" or "mä oon [your name]". They mean the same as "I am [your name]" but "mun" and "mä oon" are shortenings from "minun [my]" and "minä olen [I am]. Maybe if you're speaking with your boss or like Sauli Niinistö (the president of Finland), then you can use "hei minun nimeni on" or "hyvää päivää. Minun nimeni on..." We don't usually say "hauska tutustua [nice to meet you]" either in casual situations. You can just say "mun nimi on [your name]". I hope this helps you
Choosing the correct way to speak depending on situation is just as important in Finland as in any other country. What constitutes as formal and casual speech can be quite different between Finnish and for example Indo-European languages. In a nutshell, to address someone formally in Finnish It is usually better to keep it concise. Avoid personal pronouns and rely on personal conjugation instead. Avoid "moi" and greetings derived from that root. Use suffixes such as -han and of course the conditional. Standard language is more formal but sounds unnatural, because in essence it is a constructed language for writing and literature. For example the most common way to formally introduce oneself is simply state your first and last name - or the other way around - and accompany it with a greeting. In some situations the greeting might be replaced with a nod or handshake. The order of names does not really matter. Last name first could be considered more traditional, but nowadays first name first is more common because of internal migration, urbanization and lessening importance of extended family. The formal speech used to be more similar to Indo-European due to cultural influences when there were the estates of the realm, but after the independence and social reforms that manner of speaking started to fall out of use - partly because of the new emphasis on equality and partly because it was not "natural" part of the language. The only feature that has stuck around - probably because how convenient it is - is the use of third person plural instead of singular. At some point it almost phased out, but it has been doing a steady comeback for some time. (That is also the reason why you might see Finns making comments that formal speech is unimportant or almost non-existent in Finnish. They are thinking about an archaic way to address people with honorifics and such in a strictly hierarchical society.)
Finnish is hard to understand if you are not native speaker becouse finnish people speak very shortly. All verb sounds different also when we are talking about what I do or what someone else do or somethings like that we don’t usually use much pronouns. The end of verd tells that who we are talking about. In finland we don’t have speak to that much formal way. The only thing that you have to keep in your mind is when you are talking to someone old remember to stop shorting the word. I hope you understand what I’m talking about. I am finnish and somalia native speaker and I’m learning to speaking english. So if I said something wrong correct me. And ofc give me some advice if you have some.
Could you please do a video about different dialects and common slang? I can speak Finnish and have always been able to since my parents are Finnish, but after living in Sweden my whole life and only speaking the language when I've been visiting my Finnish family occasionally, I have very hard to understand certain dialects when I'm in other cities or watching movies.
They're in different grammatical cases. Hyvä is "Hyvä" in the nominative and 'Hyvää' in the partitive. When you're saying "Hyvää päivää", you are not wishing them A good day but just good day as if day was an abstract construct like for example love.
@@plamenasiniye Nominative in Finnish basically has the article in itself by default, think of PARTitive as a way the article parts its way with the noun and kills itself. What's the result? An abstract noun.
Nah it's fine. Some people greet with "moi moi" (I used to work as a cashier and noticed that several native speakers used that), and it's not unheard of to use a single hei/moi as a goodbye. The way you say it means more, and the context.
But aren't we all proud of such videos? I can't tell you how many times i have watched a video about my monther language because i wanted to know how others feel :D
Depends on the region/dialect. It is actually very rare where I lived to hear someone say "terve". We use "hei" and "moi", and I always percieved "terve" as very very casual

The general grammar structure.
as i understand; sina means sunuz in Turkish (it even sounds close, easy to remember), and it has no meaning by itself alone.
you use it when you ask somebody politely if they ever do anything
First you change the main verb referring a second singular person (can be anybody, just directing thats all) Puhua to Puhut, then you add the "ko" word to make it a question (we use mu in this case), then you add sina to the verb which is already addressing to the second person and change the address to "you" :)
Turkish is beautiful language.
At first seems very difficult until

I am a hungarian watching this, and in hungarian "te" is the way to say "you" informally... meanwhile in finnish it's to say it formally, huh.
The Finno-Ugric language split and people started using words differently. Old Hungarian was much more like Finnish.
Greetings blood-brother :)
Haha átérzem
in portuguese "tu" is the informal way to say "you", it's not the same as hungarian but it's similar

The video is good! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

Just a comment on whats said around 7.00 about the handshake and hugs. I've lived here for 3 years and never seen a man hug another man in a sober state.
A "hug" Finnish style is quickly moving the shoulders close to each other, not a hug as in other countries. I see that as often among men, as among women, it is just the greeting among friends.
I've lived here all of my life and I've never seen a man hug another man to greet someone whilst sober. That would be really weird. Women on the other hand tend hug everybody and everything.
Mardontt do you want someone hug you? I'm in Finland

You can adjust the speed of the video playback from the player (cogwheel if using browser). It adds a bit of echo but might help.
It worked well for me. Most things she said conversationally (quickly) first, then slowed them down so we could hear it better, then said it fast again.

Its so fun to see people struggling with finnish
Yeah. like numbers, i don't know why am i trying to learn finnish but idk :D I just wanted randomly.
By the way, do you guys really write kahdeksankymmentä without struggling when need to prounounce it?
@@tndm07 There are several ways to shorten the numbers and which one to use depends on the context. There is also some variation between dialects.
yks
kaks
kol(me)
nel(jä)
viis
kuus
seit(temä)
kaheksa
yheksä
kymppi
....
20 = kakskyt
21= kakskytyks
22 = kakskytkaks
30 = kolkyt
33 = kolkytkolme
40 = nelkyt
44 = nelkytneljä
....
70 = seitkyt
In some dialects seitsemän- -> seite- and kymmenen -> kytä. For example 70 = seitekytä. In others seitsemän- -> seis- so for example 70 = seiskytä.
These work for most situations, but sometimes you might want to use these instead
yy
kaa
koo
nee
vii
kuu
see
kasi
ysi
kymppi (10)
yytoo
kaatoo
kootoo
neetoo (14)
...
20 = kakskyt
21 = kaatoo
22 = kaakaa
23 = kaakoo
24 = kaanee
and so on
When counting quickly or otherwise listing numbers.
And also be aware that sometimes Finnish people often use the names of the numbers, indicated mostly by -nen ending. The closest equivalents in English are probably "fiver" and "niner" that are used sometimes in certain situations.
ykkönen
kakkonen
kolmonen
nelonen / neli-
vitonen / more formally viitonen
kutonen / more formally kuutonen
seiska
kasi / the shape is called kahdeksikko or more colloquially kaheksikko
ysi
kymppi
If you are born in '96 you are ysikutonen. Your 5 euro bill is vitonen (like fiver in English) and 100 bill satanen. If your bus has route number 7 it is called seiska and so on.
@@tndm07 TL;DR most would pronounce it as kaheksakytä or something like that.
Here in Finland we don't speak informally as this video says. That is basic-formal way to talk for people. Real informal way goes "Hei, mun nimi on Paula. Kiva tavata" or "Moro mä oon Paula. Miten menee?" or "Hei, mie oon Paula. Mukava tutustua." or.... you understand the drill and we all understand each other in Finland anyhow no matter what way of those you use.

"Yes" is also "joo" and not "kyllä" if you try to say ot i formal

I have heard that Finnish is one of the hardest languages to learn. I have studied French, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese, but have found Finnish quite difficult. I think that is because, it is totally unrelated to other European languages, in fact is believed to be related to Turkic, and even Korean.
It’s related to other uralic languages like Hungarian and Estonian but it’s probably hard because there isn’t many uralic languages and they dont have many speakers also they are just hard
This is brilliant. Plus you have personality. Thank you so much!

Then there are some points of miscommunications Word for number six (6) also means plant spruce, so sometimes it may be mixed if it's numbers or plants you are talking about. And the number four (4) 'neljä' may sound like 'nälkä' which means hunger, may confuse if you are hungry or missing four of something.
Kuusi palaa
"Your moon is on fire"
Its just awesome
In Finland, speaking formally isn't that important. You should try saying "mun nimi on [your name]" or "mä oon [your name]". They mean the same as "I am [your name]" but "mun" and "mä oon" are shortenings from "minun [my]" and "minä olen [I am]. Maybe if you're speaking with your boss or like Sauli Niinistö (the president of Finland), then you can use "hei minun nimeni on" or "hyvää päivää. Minun nimeni on..." We don't usually say "hauska tutustua [nice to meet you]" either in casual situations. You can just say "mun nimi on [your name]". I hope this helps you
Choosing the correct way to speak depending on situation is just as important in Finland as in any other country. What constitutes as formal and casual speech can be quite different between Finnish and for example Indo-European languages. In a nutshell, to address someone formally in Finnish
It is usually better to keep it concise.
Avoid personal pronouns and rely on personal conjugation instead.
Avoid "moi" and greetings derived from that root.
Use suffixes such as -han and of course the conditional.
Standard language is more formal but sounds unnatural, because in essence it is a constructed language for writing and literature.
For example the most common way to formally introduce oneself is simply state your first and last name - or the other way around - and accompany it with a greeting. In some situations the greeting might be replaced with a nod or handshake. The order of names does not really matter. Last name first could be considered more traditional, but nowadays first name first is more common because of internal migration, urbanization and lessening importance of extended family.
The formal speech used to be more similar to Indo-European due to cultural influences when there were the estates of the realm, but after the independence and social reforms that manner of speaking started to fall out of use - partly because of the new emphasis on equality and partly because it was not "natural" part of the language. The only feature that has stuck around - probably because how convenient it is - is the use of third person plural instead of singular. At some point it almost phased out, but it has been doing a steady comeback for some time.
(That is also the reason why you might see Finns making comments that formal speech is unimportant or almost non-existent in Finnish. They are thinking about an archaic way to address people with honorifics and such in a strictly hierarchical society.)

Finnish is hard to understand if you are not native speaker becouse finnish people speak very shortly. All verb sounds different also when we are talking about what I do or what someone else do or somethings like that we don’t usually use much pronouns. The end of verd tells that who we are talking about. In finland we don’t have speak to that much formal way. The only thing that you have to keep in your mind is when you are talking to someone old remember to stop shorting the word.
I hope you understand what I’m talking about. I am finnish and somalia native speaker and I’m learning to speaking english. So if I said something wrong correct me. And ofc give me some advice if you have some.
Minun nimeni feels like a tongue twister to me, anyone else? Send help
We kinda just say - mun nimi (on)
Yeah its really hard
"Minä olen" = "I am", no one says "my name is"
Just say "Oon [insert name]" like everyone here. We don't say our name like that, unless we write it.
Yes "minun nimeni on" is like book/write language, We say it depending on the dialect. I say it like "mun nimi on"

I'm confused with the use of double letters..like hyvää and hyvä 😥
They're in different grammatical cases. Hyvä is "Hyvä" in the nominative and 'Hyvää' in the partitive. When you're saying "Hyvää päivää", you are not wishing them A good day but just good day as if day was an abstract construct like for example love.
Wiljami Tulijoki thanks for this info! 😊
Yup, still confuses me too, the partitive is (i guess) unknown in our indo-european languages. Some get an extra -ä or -a but others get a full -sta.
