    Haha our Finnish pride Robin, missed the chance to tell them the iconic finnish sentence.
    ”Kokko, kokoo koko kokko kokoon. Koko kokkoko? Koko kokko.”
    Translated it would be.. ”Kokko (a last name in finland), put together the whole bonfire. The whole bonfire? The whole bonfire.
    Also the fact that the word ”kuusi” can mean ”a Spruce” the ”number six” or ”your moon”.
    The sentence, ”Kuusi palaa” would mean
    ”Six pieces.”
    ”Your spruce is on fire.”
    ”The spruce returns”
    ”your moon is on fire”
    ”Your moon returns”
    ”Number six returns”
    ”Number six is on fire”
    ”Six of them returns”
    ”Six of them are on fire”
    Also had to laugh at the ”das auto” coming from Robin. I thought the same thing at the same moment.😂

    Few points Robin could have used to justify his case to make Finnish seem the easiest: Phonetic language, everything is always pronounced the same way it is written, one does not have to guess; emphasis always on the first syllable; order of the words is rather irrelevant, people will understand you anyway; and as he mentioned, no gender, but also no articles in the language.

To me Finnish when i started (and even now lots of times😢😅😂) sounds like greek gibberish, for examle: "lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas" would be pronounced the exact same way as "λέν'τοκονεσουιχκουτουρμπιινιμοοττοριαπουμεκαανικκοαλιουψεεριοππιλας" (the apostrophe is needed)

      Many many times people have gotten offended from me using "Hän" instead of "se" = it or "tämä/toi/tuo/tää" = that, because it sounds way too polite for them like they would be really old or something. By my experience it is easier to be too polite than too rude. Respect on the other hand is a different thing.

      Hmm I'm finnish myself and I will have to say I really don't think it matters unless you are in a professional setting. Hän is far more formal and actually I've seen people feel more uncomfortable with that word than something more informal/casual. Even I often refer to others as "it", like "toi" "se" or "tää", it's just what almost everyone here does regardless of whether we know each other or not. Also maybe more accurately "hän" is a singular "they/them" in english, it is an entirely neutral pronoun.

      Don't worry your language is still more progressive than my German dialect.
      Contrary to standard high German we just have two genders, but for whatever reason we ended up with masculine and neuter, so a man is masculine while a woman is a thing.
      This also isn't helped by us naming people with their last name in it's possessive form before the first name.
      So "et Schmitzens Käthe" would be "that Katharina belonging to the family of the son of the smith"
      (-(s)en indicates "son of", though our last names no longer change so people are stuck with whatever the relative whose name got first written down into a church book was named)

      Thai is ridiculously hard to learn and pronounce. I watch a lot of Asian dramas, Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese and Thai. Just from watching them I picked up some of the languages, (although I did know some basic Japanese before). I picked up around 20-30 words each in Korean, Mandarin and Japanese, but maybe 6 very basic words in Thai, Hello, Thank You, Sorry etc and I've watched a lot. They speak so fast and there are no spaces between words, like Korean it has polite and casual forms and the tones just make it almost impossible for someone from a language without tones. I think Thai would only be easier for people from languages with tones.

      I think one big hurdle to Finnish is the fact that the written version that everybody learns can be very different from the spoken language, which is probably why you find it hard to understand. It's often spoken much faster and skips many syllables of words. For example "minusta" could be: "minust", "musta" or just "must" when spoken depending on dialect or the sentence. Good luck though, as long as you learn some common words and phrases it would make any Finn happy!

      👩🏻‍🌾🏞️🇫🇮 Totta! Finnish does not have a lot of consonants. Germanic languages have a lot more, for instance. As a matter of fact, original Finnish does not allow words to start with more than one consonant. For instance, borrowed words, when spoken by 'genuine' Finns, may be changed like this:
      to train, training - treenata treeni - reenata, reeni.
      Words with many consonants are most likely compond words. (many words glued together into one long one), or endings added to one word. Germanic languages such as German, Swedish, Dutch, Norwegian, Danish etc. also have compound words, whereas, by comparison, English has got rid of most of its compound words, so the words are much shorter.

    some add-ons to robin speaking abt finnish: finnish is part of the uralic language family and even more specifically finno-ugric languages (which include finnish, hungarian, estonian and a lot of smaller languages like the sámi languages, karelian, mari, veps, mansi, udmurt). that's why it's so different from other languages spoken in europe or even in the nordic countries. at the start robin talked abt using the neutral "it" for everything, but that's spoken language. we have a neutral world which is like he/she/they "hän", but that's mostly used in written language, or if it's used in spoken language someone might view you as arrogant or we use it when we speak about a pet in a baby way. what makes finnish hard in my opinion (as a finn), is that the language is so different depending if it's official written language or spoken and inside spoken language the is dialects (and dialects inside dialects, like southwest finnish dialect but inside there is pori region dialect and turku dialect) and slang (e.g. stadin slangi aka capital city helsinki's slang).
    also yes the french girl was def confusing finnish with slavic languages because finnish in quite vowel heavy in my opinion, or like... there is a healthy balance on vowels and consonants. :D

    Robin should learn more about our language since he couldnt even tell what the related languages are. Finnish is uralic language and languages from the same family tree are: estonian, hungarian and quite a few smaller languages for example mari, udmurt, komi and sami languages.
    It seems like these people dont really understand what makes language hard or easy for certain people. Its technically rather easy for indo-european language speaker (french, german, swedish etc) to learn another indo-european language since they are from the same family tree and have a lot of similarities from technical level to words. Finnish is very hard for most people in the world since they cant relate to anything in it.
    I learned english from everything since i was a kid but i have studied german for one year and it was hard didnt really pick up anything, same with swedish (3 years) but i know a bit because i have seen that language a lot too. Have been studying korean for a while and from my perspective its somewhat easy but ofc i have more interest in the language than the other ones i studied before.

    I knew that Thai would win before the video opened and developed, after it, Finnish, which is Asian, is complicated and finally Korean is also difficult for those who are Westerners even though it is not tonal, it has a phonetic alphabet and grammar and linguistics that are very adverse to those who are used to Western languages, which has many conjugations and declensions.
    Everything as expected.
    I really liked the honesty of the Thai girl that told about Mandarin and Arabic are more complex, they are full of difficult dialects, they are never simple.

      @SinilkMudilaSama 3 місяці тому +3

      @@butterflies655 The phrase all European languages came from Asia is dystopian, false, rude and unrelated to the content of the video.
      Why?
      For example, Latin, which gave rise to Romance languages such as Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian, among others, has its roots in the Italian Peninsula region.
      Ancient Greek, which gave rise to the modern Greek language, is also an Indo-European language that developed in the region of Greece, on the Attic Peninsula.
      Both didnt, never came from Asia.
      Furthermore, there are languages in Europe that do not have Indo-European origins, as is the case of Basque in the Iberian Peninsula, which is an isolated language and has no relationship with any other known language and did not come from Asia.
      The channel's video on tour real content deals with the most difficult languages to understand and speak, such as Thai, then Finnish and at the end German.
      The video never spoke of the origin of European languages because it is not the channel's footprint and because it is a complex and very dry topic that is very difficult for those working on the World Friends channel team.
      Therefore, your sentence is false, rude, stupid, dystopian, with no connection to the theme of the video.
      Farewell and no chat for you forever.

    Although Finnish is pronounced "as it is written", what makes Finnish hard too (in addition to grammar) is that almost nobody speaks the way the language is written.

Maybe he speak modern Finnish, some people talk about dog using hän (she/he) even dog is "it" lower than human in Finnish language. Only human is she/he in Finnish language, other animals or items are it. I like his songs and he is talented person, maybe language videos need someone who know more about language. Some people use ketä word in wrong places, annoying.

    • @camel2160

      Incorrect. Using ’hän’ for humans and ’se’ for non-humans is a very recent ”Standard Finnish” invention from 1800’s. ’Hän’ and ’se’ originally were both used for people and animals. ’Se’ was used most times, while ’hän’ was a logophoric pronoun. In modern spoken language and most dialects ’se’ is the most used word for ’he/she’. Also ’tuo/toi’ and ’tää’ are used for people in Finnish. It is not inhumane or wrong or incorrect and should not be considered as such.

    5. ฅ (kh = Come) [this letter also are not used anymore]
    6. ฆ (kh = Kuan)
    7. ง (ng = it’s like NH sound in Portuguese, idk any word with this sound in English, sorry)
    8. จ (ch =Jordan)
    9. ฉ (ch = changing)
    10. ช (ch = choose)

    22. ถ (th = thong)
    23. ท (th = turtle)
    24. ธ (th = tongue)
    25. น (n = nose)

    27. ป (p = party)
    28. ผ (ph = pong)
    29. ฝ (f = force)
    30. พ (ph = fun)
    31. ฟ (f = fan)
    32. ภ (ph = panic)
    33. ม (m = mom)
    34. ย (y = youth)
    35. ร (r = the sound of this one is different than the R in English and Portuguese. It’s more like an India accent inguess. But you can imagine that there’s more R, like RRIVER) idk lol
    36. ล (l = long)
    37. ว (w = wow)
    38. ศ (s = soft)
    39. ษ (s = soul)
    40. ส (s = sound)
    41. ห (h = hope)
    42. ฬ (l = siLent)
    43. อ (silent or 'a') = (orange)
    44. ฮ (h = horse)
    If someone from Thailand see this and wanna comment some ideas or better examples, please feel free, I’ll change it for better understanding. Please, like this comment ‘cause wasn’t easy to write all of this. And of course, none of them are use as vowels, ‘cause they have a different way to vowels but I prefer not to say here so you guys don’t get confused by. Bye!

    The "genders" of nouns in European languages like Italian, French, Spanish, German, etc. have no relationship to the sexual gender of the nouns, they are convenient labels that were invented by the ancient Romans to designate three categories of nouns in the Latin language. If not for the Romans, the categories could have been labeled "one", "two", "three" or some other designation instead of "masculine", "feminine", and "neuter".

    I don't think Robin explained Finnish well at all.
    It's actually pretty easy language, because it is so consistant. Every word has emphasis on the first syllable of the word, always. There is no genders, no intonations, no silent letters, and every letter is only ever pronounced one way. So if you see a word written down you know exactly how to say it, and if you hear a word you know exactly how to write it down.
    There is many cases of course, but they are the same for all the words. And you don't even need all 15 to communicate properly, 5 or6 most common and you are good to go. They are really simple, and english has meanings for all of them, and people have no difficulty learning if something is in, on, around, from, to, etc. In Finnish you just put the ending to the word itself instead of having separate word before the actual subject.
    I would say that Finnish is by far the easiest language out of these.
