- In this video we'll go over the basics of the object in Finnish. As usual, I highly recommend a textbook or a course to learn these grammatical topics more thoroughly.
Thanks for watching, kiitos kun katsoit!
-Anna :-)
Finally! Someone clearing that up for me! I always stumbled over an object being in nominative form. Now at least I know some rules around that phenomenon.
Being born in Germany to a German dad and a Finnish mother I have learned Finnish from my mum as a child. And in order to improve my proficiency I am now trying to get some of the underlying grammatical structure into my head. But things like that - I don't know any other language with objects in Nominative - keep tripping me up. And no native speaker can really explain them to me. Therefore: tuhannet kiitokset, Anna!
Kiitos paljon! Your videos help me a lot! I'm learning Finnish again after a break and this is what I needed. Don't stop :) You are great!
Yaaay! New lessons!!!
Thank you so much Anna. Keep the great job keep it up.
Thanks! :-)
12:29 Is it OK to say "Ostetaan pizzoja", using partitive instead of nominative? Also, would you please also do videos on the case of the subject (minulla ei ole kissaa/ minulla on kissa) and predicative (Suomen kieli on vaikeaa/ Kissan silmät ovat siniset...) these are all very confusing to me
Hyvä video!
another one top video! kiitos kaunis
Very important lesson.
Yay
Its a nice video
Good
Teacher, please, make a video teaching the imperatives "turn on" and "turn off". Like:
1. Turn on the television.
Turn off the television.
2. Turn on the computer.
Turn off the computer.
3. Turn on the light.
Turn off the light.
4. Turn on the cellphone.
Turn off the cellphone.
5. Turn on the microwave oven.
Turn off the microwaveoven.
6. Turn on the stove.
Turn off the stove.
7. Etc
I'll keep this in mind!
Thanks knowledge. My object is my house plese bisit ..
In the sentence "hän ostaa omenan" ("she's buying an apple"), how is the object in genetive form even though the action is still going on?
It is because this is a single entity, a clearly definied, countable item. Check out the slide titled "When is objekti in the genetiivi case?
" (third last slide). Hope that helps. :-)
@@FinnishWithAnna I'm even more confused b/c what you say is in conflict with this article uusikielemme.fi/finnish-grammar/syntax/constructions/the-finnish-object-objekti/, because it basically says "if there's any reason to use the partitive then you should use it".
If you don't have time to read, check the diagram www.finteresting.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Finnish-Object-1.jpg that the article above links to.
@@khoavo5758 In your first link (uusi kielemme), check out section "3.1.3. Countable vs. Uncountable Objects" - that is the case with my example (hän ostaa omenan") as well.
@@FinnishWithAnna Which is in conflict with section "3.1.4. Currently Happening vs. Intention" in the same article. The sentence "Luen kirjaa" means "I'm reading the book", and the book is _countable_.
What am I to do?
This is similar to French - "elle boit de la bière" (she drinks beer) literally "she drinks of the beer" which would be genetive case. In old English it could be "she partakes of the beer". The rules of grammar are not rigid, that's just the way they are!
Do you have patreon?
Hi Leslie, I don't have a Patreon.
@@FinnishWithAnna Well if you ever do get it, please let us know. Because if there's an option for a few dollars per month, I would become a patreon...
@@learnalanguagewithleslie Thanks so much! I'll keep this option in my mind.
You are really a super teacher, thank you so much
