A good reference grammar is the Routledge Finnish grammar by Fred Karlsson. Routledge turn out very high quality grammars. Here's a link: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1138821586/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_U_SLEdFbHWJ5MQC
Toissapäivänä reminds me of the phrase that's common in the States (I suppose in other countries as well), "Just the other day," which is a way for a person to tell you he doesn't remember how long ago what he's about to tell you happened. If you hear an American, at least, say "Just the other day," assume whatever he's about to say took place at least a week ago.
I’m currently studying Finnish with an old book from Leila White called “From start to Finnish” and using “uusi kielemme” and “my/the finnish teacher” (idr if it’s my or the). I’m barely starting and a video on those subjects would be very helpful, paljon kiitoksia 🌈
Kat- you are a born teacher! So good! I absolutely love your videos and are learning more from them than from any other materials Could you, by any chance, sometime talk about numerals followed by nouns? I have noticed that nouns don't always take the plural form when following a numeral.
Another resource I've found quite helpful is en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wiktionary:Main_Page. You can type in any Finnish word there and it will give you not only the definition, but all the various forms of the word as well. Quite helpful, seeing as how no Finnish grammar book I own does this, and consonant gradation is something I'm finding rather tricky to navigate. There's also an all-Finnish version at fi.wiktionary.org/wiki/Wikisanakirja:Etusivu.
My go to resources for Finnish are: 1) The book “Complete Finnish” by teach yourself along with their free APP 2) You 🎉🎉🎊🎉🎉 3) The HelloTalk app. There are so many wonderful guys, who are helping me put there. It is amazing I am not sure if those are the type of resources you are looking for, but that is what I use to understand Finnish grammar
No this is great, thank you so much for taking the time to share! Obviously right now I'm trying to understand the grammar rules, but of course anything else + other resources are highly valuable to me too! :) Especially books, I don't know what people use in their learning so it's good to get input from people that have actually used them and have an idea which ones are better!
very cool videos! would be great to learn some airport terms/things you might see when arriving at HEL airport - on the flight boards, gate info, arrivals, etc.
Ohh I like the ylihuomenna a lot! :3 I mean I don't think it works like in German were you can stack that a bunch of times (like yliyliyliyliylihuomenna), but I still like it. :3
Learned a bit back from a cousin (I believe it was) that Yli and Ala mean over and under respectively. There's an Yli-Paakkola and Ala-Paakkola in Tervola. Both are very close to each other.
Hm, I miss the context here. If it was 4 minutes long speech in Finnish where you'd use these words and the message would be comprehensible, we'd definitely learn more. :-)
Moi! I just wanna check something. I added Korean subtitles to you but I am not sure if it was sended well(Because it's my first time to do this) SRY 😅 Have a nice day😃
I just checked them and published them! You should be able to see them now too, you did it perfectly! Thank you SOOOO much! Kiitos paljon, I'm sure many people will find it really helpful
Maybe you could do a video about the language families explaining how far Finnish is from other European languages so that people would better understand why it is so difficult for them to learn :D
I have a question. (A perhaps too-specific question, but here goes, nonetheless!) Is the following sentence grammatically correct? "Hän repäisee kuoren auki ja lukee, ajattelee silmät kiini ja kiirehtii sitten ulos." I'm questioning specifically the use of the words "silmät kiini" here. Is this a correct construction? And if so, is "silmät" in the nominative or the accusative?
Hi Big Scary Steve, I just feed the google Translator with this Phrase, he translated it into German (Saksalainen am I) and then into English and this comes out: "He tears open the shell and reads, thinks with his eyes closed and then hurries out." :-) I'm curios on Teachers Katya Katchats Opinion on this...
Guten Tag! Wie geht es Ihnen denn, mein Herr El Grande? Ich kann auch ein bisschen Deutsch. Ich kann mehr Deutsch als Finnisch. This is the odd thing about the little bit of Finnish I've taught myself so far--I can get the meaning out of it, yet I tend to be rather murky on the grammatical explanation. I think the words "silmät kiini" are what would be called an "absolute construction" in traditional grammar, or a "small clause" in generative grammar. I was rather surprised that my textbook would be sneaking such a construction into such an early chapter. On the other hand, my book was written by a native English speaker (judging by his name), so I'm wondering if he got it right or if he just made a mistake. Auf Wiederschreiben!
Guten Abend Big Scary Steve, danke für Ihre Antwort, mir geht es gut ich hoffe Ihnen auch, die Dinge sind etwas komplizierter geworden durch das Virus, das alles durcheinanderwirbelt in letzter Zeit. Well, Teacher Katya Katchat has not much Grammer in her Lessons so far so everything seems quite easy and smooth which is naturally not the case! I do this evening some reserch in the internet for a german written finnish Grammar and without any problems I found 150 Pages of complicated rules :-) I'm totally addicted to Finnish since a few weeks and I don't know why. It's sounds so cool and it's full of endless secrets, funny and wild. It's a pity that knowbody in my area speaks it or understand how much I love it. Ich hoffe Sie haben auch so viel Spaß mit dieser Sprache wie ich, zur Grammatik kann ich leider noch nicht viel beitragen da ich momentan in der Phase bin wo mich der Klang und die Bedeutung der Wörter faszinieren. Aber ich freue mich schon darauf, daß die Lehrerin jetzt auch mehr Grammatik machen möchte. Sie hat immer gute Laune, ist so positiv und das merkwürdige ist ich kann ihr Englisch mühelos ohne Anstrengung verstehen, das ist mir noch nie passiert, manchmal denke ich sie hat die ganze Zeit Deutsch geredet und dann merke ich nein, das war ja Englisch! :-) Alles Gute and Stay Healthy!
Hi! I can't say for sure what form silmät is in (I've never studied Finnish grammar so off the top of my head I don't know the names of the different forms), but the phrase silmät kiinni (with two n's) makes total sense. It's like the translation for "eyes closed" :)
So... Is it Toissapäivänä can be used when ever we need to talk about any day in past when we are not sure of timestamp... Like "the other day" expression?
I'm a bit late here with my answer, but I'd rather say "yhtenä päivänä" (or in puhekieli just "yks päivä"), meaning "(on) one day". Toissapäivänä is only for "the day before yesterday".
I use this website for the cases: bisqwit.iki.fi/story/finnish/cases/ There are all of them, with an English explanation, the suffixes in different words and examples in Finnish! :-)

It is always interesting to hear how the new wave of people teach language skills to others.

Thanks for the idea! It would be great if once this isolation period ends I could go to the airport and film some actual footage there! :D
Great video as always
Do you plan to make video about Finnish Easter? :D
Just a short one, it's up now. I wanted to make a cultural one for my other channel but this week is super hectic with school work unfortunately!
Kiitos paljon KatiChats

I wish you make a video of "real life conversations" in Finnish. Just like the ttmk for korean language. :)
Thanks for the idea!
Thanks Kat , that was very helpful :)
So glad! :)
Great video , thanks for uploading.
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for watching!
Learned a bit back from a cousin (I believe it was) that Yli and Ala mean over and under respectively. There's an Yli-Paakkola and Ala-Paakkola in Tervola. Both are very close to each other.
Hoping you can help me to speak finnish and what resources can i use.
Many things like TH-cam or uusikelemme (Finnish learning website)
Kiitos paljon
