Don't Be Shy! How to Start a Conversation in Finnish

[@biomebonum1802]

hei minun nimeni en Tyron hauska tutustua, i just love this language like i don't know . keep on with good job.

[@randolphcarter5563]

what is the difference between the words nimi and nimeni(i think they both mean name)??

[@russ8676]

Nimi = name
Nimeni = my name
adding 'ni' to the end of the word means 'my'
but it is mostly used in books, not in spoken language

[@88marome]

So could I say "äiti on suomalainen" instead of "äitini on suomalainen"?
