Let's all give a round of applause that this video was possible 👏👏👏 The internet was super slow again 😅 Yesterday morning, I started the upload at 8am thinking that was plenty of time despite the video being quite long...I even went out for a hike on top of a volcano...came back and finally...at 6:30pm it had uploaded 😆 Get ready to hear this... the internet upload speed is ..🥁... 0.07 mbps ! No wonder. Then I was CC captioning until 10pm but got so tired I had to finish making the global subs this morning. SUPER pleased this video is finally up and hopefully at least one person finds it useful. Enjoy 😊
@@KatChatsFinnish I'm pretty technologically illiterate, so upload speeds mean nothing to me. All I can say is, most of the videos I have on my channel are relatively short--like two or three minutes--but they usually take several hours to upload.
I have watched several of your videos; Finnish is such an interesting language. I also have to add that you are one beautiful woman. Keep up the good work! :)
Aw thank you seriously so much. Yeah it's a new-ish feature TH-cam has implemented to some channels and I didn't really mention it until someone found it by themselves xD But honestly again thank you so much for your support. It genuinely means a lot!
For anyone who might be confused with all of the conjugation stuff. Especially that conjugation doesn’t really exist in English (there is the added “s” in he/she, but I am not counting it). In Finnish, you just need to drop the ending. The ending depends on the verb type. In verb type 2, you drop the “da/dä” from the verb and simply add the ending. So for “me” you drop the “da” and add “mme”. * Puhakieli ignores the rules a lot, so this might not work with all the time. And to Kat, thank you for another Finnish lesson
Aww you're seriously so incredibly kind. Thank you honestly so much 🥺 I really hope my videos are helpful to you and I'll continue to do my best to make great content for you to enjoy 😊
Always funny when you go off the script! Who doesn't like french fries. ^^ But seriously... insane focus, I probably couldn't go on filming myself with a food truck unloading behind. And a general thought: Maybe it's just my personal taste but for me the pace could have been a tad bit faster. Since we are dealing with word endings here and not complete sentences ... here I noticed my thoughts wandering a few times. Love from Finland
Yeah, I got so hungry xD Also I can 100% see your point, I on purpose went kinda slow. Just cause I figured it's easier to go slower and make sure everyone is on board and others can skip ahead or go faster vs going too fast and some people might be left confused :p
The passive is a voice. It is the counterpart to the active voice. For example, the sentence "I see" is in the active voice, while "I am seen" is in the passive voice. The active voice is the "default" voice one uses with verbs; the passive is used in more unusual occasions, such as when one wants to avoid mentioning the agent of an action, or to put emphasis on the patient. One must be careful, though: the passive in Finnish and the other Uralic languages doesn't correspond exactly to the passive in English and other Indo-European languages. The Finnish counterpart to my example above, viz. "I am seen" would more literally translate to "one sees me" or "someone sees me." Other languages tend to use constructions like this more frequently than does English; e. g., German uses the pronoun "man" as a subject to avoid the passive, and French does the same with the pronoun "on." It's interesting that you say that Finnish would rather use the passive to avoid "me." I saw a video on French usage some months ago where the instructor said the same thing for French, namely, that French tends to avoid "nous" and uses "on" instead. If you want to really have your mind blown, I suggest the study of ancient Greek, which had not two, but three voices in its verbs.
To clarify, my comment about Finnish using the passive like French was a bit muddled. The two languages are a bit similar stylistically here, but the grammatical constructions don't match up that well. To sum up the French, "Nous buvons du vin" means "We're drinking wine," but "On boit du vin" means "Wine is being drunk." As for the construction "Me juodaan," I've never encountered that before. I'm so surprised by this construction that my mind is blown. I don't have an explanation for it. I guess I'll just have to do some research to try to figure this out because I'm completely puzzled by it.
As a tip to all you language learners out there, if you're confused by what a voice is and how it relates to tense, you need to understand that every verb has a tense, a voice, and a mood all at the same time. If the mood is a finite one, then add person and number to that list. And in English, add aspect as well. (N. B.: Finnish indicates aspect not on the verb, but rather by putting the direct object in either the accusative or the partitive case. Another mind-blower!) If you're a bit lost by my quick and dirty explanation here, just research the terms I've presented. Wikipedia can offer serviceable definitions and explanations.
Hey! I might miss that part in previous vids, but isn't there also 'Ne' pronoun? As I recall, it's something like 'He' but for things. Is it a throwback and doesn't used in everyday speech anymore? Also, thank you so much for this awesome series! I myself is in the beginning of long road of studying Finnish language and these series helps a lot!
Oh yeah! 'Ne' is the puhekieli version of 'he' - you can use it for people too. The conjugations for it is the same as for 'he' -> so you can say "ne juovat/ne syövät" = they drink/eat. But also with ne you can just drop the entire ending so it would become "ne juo/ne syö" = they eat/they drink and for nähdä/tehdä it would become "ne näkee/ne tekee" = they see / they make
Yes, "ne" can be used as puhekieli version of "he", but maybe it would be better to state what "ne" actually is. It is one of the demonstrative pronouns (I don't know if you have already done a video about them?). I saw Kat mentioning "ne" as just a puhekieli version of "he" in some other video, but that's not the only thing it is. So the demonstrative pronouns are used (mainly) for objects: tämä=this tuo=that se=it nämä=these nuo=those ne=they And as you might know, "se" is also one of them, that is used in puhekieli for "he/she". So I would say "se" and "ne" are rather just demonstrative pronouns borrowed to be used as their corresponding personal pronouns, not only a puhekieli version. I hope it makes some sense, and I don't know, maybe Kat didn't want to mention it for not being more confusing :D But I think it is worth mentioning.

QUESTION: In Finland, are there differences in ACCENTS, I mean, SMALL differences in how to pronounce some VOWELS, like "A (no dots)", like "Ä (with dots)", like "E", etc? Or do every Finnish native speakers in Finland pronounce the VOWELS exatly the SAME way?
Is the preferred use of the passive voice in the 1st person plural related to the fact that any object is in the basic form (not taking an n-ending, as would otherwise be the case), e.g. 'me tehään (tehdään) virheitä/valitus/ennätys'; 'me vuokrataan huone/asunto/mökki'?
QUESTION: As for the PAST tense, is the PERFEKTI (compound tense) normally used in colloquial/spoken Finnish? Can the PERFEKTI and the IMPERFEKTI be used interchangeably?
I think they are context dependent, technically you would use perfekti when the action could still continue (eg. olen uinut tällä viikolla = I have swam this week -> the week isn't done and so you could still swim again this week) and imperfekti when the action is finished (Uin tällä viikolla = I swam this week). I think (?) you could use either one to indicate you went swimming in the past week. At least I would lol. But honestly the most natural way for me to say this sentence would be "menin uimaan tällä viikolla" = I went swimming this week xD
One interesting thing in Finnish is how 'koko' means 'whole' but then the '-ko/ka' word ending is sometimes used to make a question. Could this be because you're referring to the whole thing rather than only the part you see implying that something's missing?
A quick question about “nähdä” en the “he” conjugation. Why is it -vät and not -vat? The circle has (e and i) in the middle. So when is it “ä” and when is it “a” with the last letter as (e or i)? Or does it depend on the word and we have to remember all of the verbs that has an (e or i) ending?
Oh! It's explained in more detail in my vowel harmony video. So the e and i are neutral so can be combined with any word. So then you have to look for other vowels in the word. Because 'nÄhdÄ/nÄke_" both have an ä -> then we know we have to use the -vät ending, since according to the vowel harmony rules -ä shouldn't be in the same word as -a. Hope that makes sense :)
Saada - Saamme, Saadaan Tuoda- Tuomme, Tuodaan Viedä- Viemme, Viedään Jäädä- Jäämme, Jäädään 7:44 does not hear that sound Saada = Saatte Tuoda= Tuotte Viedä = Viette 14:42 Back to home truck Jäädä= Jäätte Saada= Saavat Tuoda=Tuovat Viedä= Vievät Jäädä=Jäävät

Conjugation in English still exists in English verbs (as do cases in nouns), but it's largely covert. English abounds in null suffixes.
Thanks!
