    if you are speaking finnish language it’s ”suomi” , but if you mean Finland as a country it’s ”Suomi”

    • @D0MiN0ChAn
      @D0MiN0ChAn 4 ปีที่แล้ว +52

      So is this the only time upper- and lowercase are used respectively in Finnish (when talking about country/language)? Or are there different instances as well?

    • @JasminMiettunen
      @JasminMiettunen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +164

      D0MiN0 names are written with a capital, including peoples names, continents, countries, cities, streets. While languages and nationalities are not capitalised. Mostly, proper nouns are capitalised, verbs and adjectives are mot. So if you live in Suomi, you are suomalainen and hopefully speak suomea. It only matters in language classes, though.

      @JasminMiettunen 4 ปีที่แล้ว +103

      BringMe EggRolls yeah, except if it has multiple words in the title. Because in English you have some arbitrary rules where you can Capitalise Every Word, except some words like articles and prepositions??? Like “The Fault in Our Stars”, while in Finnish you just capitalise the first letter of the book name, like “Tähtiin kirjoitettu virhe”, same book, different language.

      @sammyk3024 4 ปีที่แล้ว +123

      This is why google translating everyday language works so poorly. "Vaan" means "just (a little bit)" and "istua" means to sit. But when you say "istu vaan" the "vaan" becomes a way to make it a polite suggestion. "Istu vaan" in that context should be translated to "sure, you may sit there" or more realistically just "sure." If you only said "istu" it would become as rude as saying "just sit there."

    "Nice to meet" is kind a useless. We finns actually hardly ever use it. it´s not about to impolite or rude. We just see it as too formal, frivolous and contrived. We might say sometimes in the end of meeting " oli kiva tavata" "it was nice to meet". You see until then you can genuinely think if it really was nice.

      @@sanchu6335 not necessarily. I know a Bulgarian who speaks German without any accent because she went to kindergarten in Germany (like actual Kindergarten between the ages of 1/3/4 and six). I also know a girl with a Japanese father and a slavic mother (I don't remember the country anymore) who speak Italian amongst each other because they're both fluent. The kids speak German (from school education), Japanese and the mother's language, all without an accent, and they have basic knowledge of Italian. So basically what I'm saying is, young children have an amazing ear for languages, and if you let them spend enough time with different native speakers, they will easily be able to learn any of them on a native speaker level.
      I should add though: people who are bi- oder multilingual usually lose a bit in either one or all of them. Not the accent, but the feeling for the language. Usually you notice that one of them really is their first language, and they're missing words or using weird ones in the other(s). In both girls' cases, German was most obviously the first language, and while an accent could not be heard in the others even by native speakers, after a little time, they would have noticed.
      Same goes for Swedish-speaking people in Finland, by the way. Most of them learn finnish only through school education, but later often sound like native speakers with the exception of a few weird words and phrases they might use.

    I must have been subscribed to you for so long since I actually knew your parents are Finnish and you've spent a year or so here when you were a kid. I swear you've mentioned it all before.
    Anyways, it's clear you've heard your parents and grandparents speaking Finnish a lot because your pronunciation is perfect. Going just by the way you pronounce things, I wouldn't be able to tell you're a native English speaker instead of Finnish. Well done!

    Estonian cognate to “istu vaan/vain” would be “istu vaid”. Only that “istu vaid” sounds actually like a threat: just sit and you’ll see what happens.
    So Finns, you’d better not use “istu vain” in Estonia 😁
    Or in a rare case, we’ll think your saying “istuvaid” (partitive of ‘the sitting ones’) and be like meh

    You can absolutely drop the personal pronouns out of the sentence and be understood in Finnish. For example, you can say "Sinä olet seuraava." and "Olet seuraava.", both are correct. With the pronoun "sinä" it might sound a bit more official, I think? And in the spoken language people do drop the pronomine suffixes out on substantives, which I sometimes feel is a pity. Our language is slowly going towards no suffixes.

      The easiest rule of thumb in my opinion is that you can forget the "extra" pronouns when you're referring to yourself or someone you're with (I/we/you). Otherwise talking about someone who's not present you'd have to use the pronoun for them (him/her).
      For example:
      Minä olen kotona. - I am home.
      Olen kotona. - I am home.
      vs.
      He ovat kotona. - They are home.

    The only Finnish you need to know is "no niin" and variations of it. I'm Finnish and I don't understand how any of the grammar works. It's like they're making shit up as they go.

Who naïve I was - after a year of lessons with a teacher I still couldn't get past the basics because the grammar is the most tortuous assault course you could imagine. It's like climbing mount Everest!

      I once freaked my Finnish teacher out when I told her I don’t really remember all the rules for when to put commas but just do what I feel like is correct. Apparently she thought I could not do that. I definitely can and still do and make very little mistakes if any.
      Often applies to other stuff too. I just say what feels right when I’m not at all confident that it’s actually correct.

    When you've heard the language intensively as a child -as you mentioned having - one tends to have a surprise upward learning bump. It really helps massively having been exposed to it as a child. I would suggest do what I do, I don't learns things from apps or books, I just plough straight into novels and music. There's Finnish music here with English lyric videos. I'll post a few examples below:
