*Pro tip: If you want to sound more puhekieli, just swap out ‘Ottaisin’ (I’ll have/I’ll take) with ‘Otan’. Just remember the -isi adds a degree of politeness to the request :P
This is the first time I understood everything in a Finnish 'dialogue"! Feels so good, I' m making progress! I would love for you to make more videos like this!! Or maybe even just a "listening skills" one, where you talk in Finnish and then translate afterwards! Anyway, thanks a lot, you are great at teaching!
That's amazing! I'm so happy for you! :D hmm that's certainly a very good suggestion, I'll make sure to write it down in my notebook and hopefully sometime in the future I'll make another one where you can practice more listening skills! :D Thanks!
I remember a couple of month ago, I thought "Okey, I'll try to order in finnish". I went in the coffee shop and said "Otan maitokahvia" and the lady asked me: "vaalea vai tumma?" and I just stood there and said: "Sorry, I don't understand" XD
When I first moved to Finland my gf (now wife) always say keep it simple when speaking in Finnish so I did and the attempt of speaking Finnish everyone was nice enough to teach you more.
Terve Cat!!! I just started learning Finnish yesterday and I'm so happy that I find your channel 😊😊😊 your content so far is very helpful for me!! Kiitos.
i just started my finnish class n before my class I always watch your videos and in the class i always give the answers 1st.. it's so amazing you r the best teacher ....my beautiful oppetaja / Aikuinen 😊😊
Really helpful, thank you. Now I think I almost understand the basic question grammar. Can you also say hauluatteko like voitteko in formal situations, if you want to be very polite?
Thanks for those important finish videos could you please do more videos about the market clothes and food ordering buying tickets of train or juna lipu
Finns use to shorten or simplify words in puhekieli (spoken language) to make the speaking faster. So, minä - mä, sinä - sä, hän - se, but: me - me, te- te, he- he. So plural forms - we, you, they - are short enough and need no shortening. E.g. I want = minä haluan - mä haluun, sinä haluat - sä haluut, hän haluaa - se haluu, me haluamme - me halutaan, te haluatte - te haluutte, he haluavat - ne haluu. Kat is an excellent teacher and knows Finnish amazingly well.
I always get very nervous when I am at the checkout at grocery stores...and was wondering if you could do something similar like this for that please🙂🙏I leave for Finland very soon and would like help
So, would this also work if I substitute "kahvi/kahvia" with any other form of drink such as tea, water, or fruit soda, or just about any orderable item?
I live in Finland 🇫🇮 but u are my first 1 teacher before my school 🏫 I’m studying suomi Eiran peryskoulu the amazing this is when u explaining the suomi I understand clearly I’m not like that even when I’m in my school 🏫! 😂 keep going sinä olet kiva Opettaja ❤️
Thanks ope I would like if u can keep teaching me suomi I feel like u are better then my school 🏫 because I study 📖 suomi in school finnish to finnish to it’s hard for me so I hope u gonna keep post your video and I’m gonna be watching u every single day I’m always watching your videos
Hei, Kat. Mitä kuuluu? Toivottavasti hyvin! Voinko kysyä jotakin? Sanko käyttää "vain" sen sijaan "pelkästään"? Esimerkiksi: "Vain maitoa" vai "vain sokeria"? Kiitos paljon auttassa. 🙏🏾 Heippa!
I was wondering if people in Finland say how many sugars they would like (as in teaspoons of sugar) or just say a little or a lot? Thanks for the very helpful video also!
I think both is used depending on how particular one is with their coffee. But mostly I think they give you the sugar or point to where there is sugar so you can put it into your own coffee yourself.
Hello, today I ordered coffee but at end she asked me something which i didn’t understand then she told me in english it was : you will have it here or take away. Could you please tell me how to you say it in finnish?
Forgive my ignorance, I just found this channel How is your English so good? Is it your native language (along with Finnish maybe?). I sense nearly no foreign accent in your English whatsoever, and it baffles me
I really appreciate your videos, Katja! I find them very instructive, and you almost make learning Finnish seem easy! But I was wondering if you could add another element to your lessons that would help vegans and vegetarians to survive in Finland? For example, how would a vegan ask for a plant-based milk in their coffee? Or how would they make it clear that they don't want any animal products? Also, how could someone communicate to their server if they have an allergy to a particular food (e.g., wheat or corn)? Thanks in advance!
What I’ve always struggled with is how I ask for something else than a regular coffee, e.g. a cappuccino or something? The partitive confuses me quite a bit here :/ Do I still add the “-a”, to the end like “Ottaisin cappuccinoa/lattea/etc.”...?
"The less you`ll talk, the more natural you`ll seem." I like it! I have a question I always wanted to know, what does the "-enen" double ending in many words and names signify/mean/add to the word?
NälkäiNEN, punaiNEN, -nen is often added to make a substantive into an adjective Kinda like hunger > hungry greed > greedy sleep > sleepy So nälkä (hunger) > nälkäinen (hungry) Idk if this is what you were looking for
What if you're ordering two coffees and you want to say "a little milk in one and milk and sugar in the other one"? I saw an example where yhteen is used for the first and toinen (toiseen?) is used for the second. Is this true? Kittos.
Must I use everytime minä & sinä in front of sentence like in english "I must", "I want" or german "Ich muss", "Ich will" or can I just say "Olen *name here*"?
flamaster30 Hey! You don'have to use minä and sinä at everytime. You also can: Minä olen *your name* ,and you can also say olen *your name*. So im Ben so olen Ben.
Oh there's a conversation:Kuka sinä olet? It means who are you or whats your name. Minä olen Alex.it means Im Alex. Entä sinä? It means and you? Olen olga.And it also means Im Olga. I hope i can helped to you. Ohh if you want to be more help i can recommend something to you. If you're learning finnish. :)
flamaster30 Hey me too!:D I can recommend you a book named Suomen mestari. Suomi means Finland, soumen mestari means Finnish's masters. I've learned the basics from this book. It' interactive and you can learn from it fast. If yoi buy it, i hope you a good language learning! And don't give up!:D Finnish is a difficult language
What about "Hei! Yks' tumma kahvia, kiitos". It's a shorter enterence sentence and much more casual. Honestly, Finnish language is a very direct and a little bit mechanical, but it works as well :))
It’s the same word and it doesn’t matter which one you use :) Saisinko is more polite, but saanko is the more puhekieli way to say it. Hope that helps!
You won't get fluent with it, but I've heard it's a fun way to get in a few minutes of study each day. So that you're hearing and maybe thinking about Finnish at least a little bit :)
16.08.2024 Terveisin Puolasta Minä aamulla juon kahvia mutta illalla juon vain teeta. Saada-sanko saisinko. Ottaa- otanko- otaisinko-ota!- älä ota, Otetaan- ei oteta, Otettiin- ei otettu. Minä ymmrrän mitä tapahtuu
+Jake Riccio To my ears tai is you can choose either or both kinda like and/or whereas vai is either or so you choose ONLY milk OR sugar but not both. But really it's not that strict I think, both should be fine it's just to my ears it sounds better using tai :)
otatko maitoa vai kermaa, (do you take milk or cream) could work when you have two options for one thing but if you can use both options or one or none then it is better to use tai
*Pro tip: If you want to sound more puhekieli, just swap out ‘Ottaisin’ (I’ll have/I’ll take) with ‘Otan’. Just remember the -isi adds a degree of politeness to the request :P

great job and thanks for the video! I like it when you include dialogues in your videos c:

I heard in R Kioski people wanted to have milk in their coffee, and they used the word maitolla, or maidolla. Is that a way to add milk to my coffee?

"The less you`ll talk, the more natural you`ll seem."

I have a question I always wanted to know, what does the "-enen" double ending in many words and names signify/mean/add to the word?
Oh you mean like the -nen in last names? Here's an article I found on it: finland.fi/life-society/surname-stories-land-of-the-nens/
Thank you very much!
Nälkäinen-Karhu:)
NälkäiNEN, punaiNEN,
-nen is often added to make a substantive into an adjective
Kinda like hunger > hungry greed > greedy sleep > sleepy
So nälkä (hunger) > nälkäinen (hungry)
Idk if this is what you were looking for
Could you use vain instead of pelkästään? It seems much easier to use vain but idk if there's a grammar rule or something.
Yes you can :)
Damn, there are so many versions of it, I'm totally lost and confused

Yea, you can also use toiseen or yhteen for both of them i think thats how most people say it

Kahve is an Arabic word and that's from where the word is adapted according to the different languages

otatko maitoa vai kermaa, (do you take milk or cream) could work when you have two options for one thing but if you can use both options or one or none then it is better to use tai
