Absolutely love this video!! Loved pronouncing along to this video. I started learning Finnish because of my love of the Dallas Stars hockey and their entire fleet of amazing suomi players! Their run for the 2020 Stanley Cup was phenomenal. I believe the incredible suomi sisu permeated througout the entire team! Would love to see another hockey related video. The Dallas Stars has their own Suomi Mafia including : Miro heiskanen, Esa Lindell, Roope Hintz, ja Joel Kiviranta. Julius Honka should be returning for the next season as well! Also, I did not realize that Pekka Rinne was Finnish! Thank you for this video!

Onnea Katya, Ilta-Sanomat on tehnyt tästä sun videostasi isohkon uutisen, tällä menolla olet kohta pienimuotoinen julkkis Suomessa. ;) Tee ehdottomasti toinen osa vielä ainakin, näitä ulkomaalaisten kommentteja on hauska lukea. Keep up the good work girl!
LOL! Tää on sit mun ns. 15 seconds of "fame" jos ees pystyis vertaamaan siihen haha! Näyttää siltä, että innostusta olisi kakkos-osalle niin varmaan parin viikon sisällä :P Kiitos paljon :)
I’m half Finnish, half Swedish and I’m soon going to learn finnish in school! My mother speaks it fluently but she didn’t teach me, so atleast I have you who can teach me some! :)
Aleksander Barkov's father Alexander Barkov is a former Soviet national team player. He moved to Tampere in 90's to play for Tappara and stayed in Finland after his career was over. He is now coaching in China. Aleksander was born and raised in Tampere.
I'm not sure if he ever played for The Soviet Union, but if I had to guess I would say no. I definitely do remember Barkov Sr. played for Russia in the WC in the nineties. And Aleksander's mother played basketball in the Soviet Union national team in the 1980 Olympics - I think I read that somewhere - so he has lots of "sporty" genes from both sides.
Tuukka Rask is not so known from the World Cup, he has become famous in NHL, Boston Bruins. Joki is river, virta means stream. Virtanen was long the 'Smith' of Finland, now Korhonen is the most common name in Finland. Tikka is dart - but the older word means woodpecker, the bird. So dart is metaphorically the same :) Ranta is any shore, whether there's beach or not. Teuvo Teräväinen rhymes like those generic names for the form filling. But it's so rare, it won't do - it will automatically bring into people's mind the few families in Finland carrying the name. Whereas Maija Mehiläinen is a cartoon character. Again, it would be rare for people to have that family name - it means bee, because the cartoon character is a bee. - Finnish uses Matti & Maija Meikäläinen as the Adam Smith of the example names. That's 'Matt(hew)' & Mary Ourkind' - 1st names chosen to match the last name, like Olly/Oliver & Olivia Ourkind. Haven't met any people with Meikäläinen as their family name - but I think there are some Finns with that name. Hopefully not name as Matti or Maija by their parents :) xxx There are also some names, which with the endings of Finnish (like prepositions in English) might produce confusing situation. There was a guy as a conscript serving in the Finnish army (all healthy Finnish men have to serve that, or do a civil service corresponding that), with the last name Senjanen. When the officers make room inspection, especially their closet or cupboard is especially checked by choosing a random Private (or a bad looking cupboard). The Finnish privates (the lowest military rank) have to announce if asked: 'Sir (rank of the officer), the cupboard of Private Smith!' Now Private Senjanen would say this in Finnish: 'Herra (upseerin arvo), alokas Senjasen kaappi'. It just happens that 'sen ja sen' (compare Senjasen) means 'of this and this (lit. of it/that and it/that)' - which is the example sentence the drill sergeants use to teach the privates how to make the announcement. xxx Also, there was this high ranking civil servant working for some minister, and he was send to one Finnish county to make some inspection. His family name is Hillu, which sounds very close to a mild curse word hitto, or the khrm, feminine private parts word pillu, another one for it is vittu, the strongest curse word for many Finns. Hillu itself is a from of the verb hillua, to hang around, to idle, to make ruccus - aka some sort of obscure, noise, alarming behaviour many juvenile hot shots have tendency to commit to. Keep these 3 naughty words in mind, and his name :) So this civil servant Hillu was coming to town. The local officials very a bit nervous, this visit was crucial for the funding of the local civic projects. The 'lucky' local official, who was suppose to announce him got the advise: 'Don't mess with his name, he's very touchy about it'. Well, you can imagine he was likely teased at school about his name. The advice didn't much help the local officer, made him more anxious about the task, and his nerves did play him a trick. When the visiting day came, he stepped in the mike after some introductory speeches had been made, and said: 'And now, we will have the honour to hear the minister's assistant, Mr. Hittu'. That mistake gathers all the possible words you can mistake the civil servant's name for. You can track each word to avoid his mind has been going through. You can hear there he has been thinking to avoid the female body part, but remembering that word wrong - to be the more vulgar one. You couldn't say the name more wrong without actually cursing - and with this mistake, all the possible curse wods you can make from the name, echo in the Finnish ears. Stuff of stand-up comedy.
Mä oon vähän kateellinen sun englannin lausumisesta, tälleen henkilön perspektiivistä joka on aina menestyny koulussa englannissa hyvin, mutta mongertaa vieläkin vähän puhuessa. Fantastic, and keep it up!
I think that's because we were hunter gatherers way longer than Europeans. They had all those easy to chew agricultural products whilst we had mainly meat, berries and mushrooms. Also, you might find this interesting: yle.fi/uutiset/osasto/news/findians__the_story_of_finns_distant_cousins/9087943
@@mikkomalinen2641 I link it more to the cold climates. Hunter gatherers live in pyher climates too. It developed in Siberia for people who had to tolerate extreme cold. Finns forefathers came from the Ural Mnts. the Western edge of Siberia. Or possibly a bit more west.
You are correct that Saku and Mikko Koivu are brothers. Pekka Rinne plays in my mother's home town (Go Predators!), and my favorite defender, Kimmo Timonen, used to play there, as well. There are so many darn good Finnish players out there.
YAY YOU DID IT!!!! I’m so happy!!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! Edit: Ooh! You’re welcome. 😁😂 if you do a part 2 can you include Juuse Saros and Miikka Salomaki? Yeah I’m a Nashville Predators fan, so stoked you did this. And Pekka on the thumbnail. ❤️
This video is wayyyy on-brand for me, one of the main reasons I am learning Finnish is due to attending the ice hockey world championships in Helsinki and Tampere back in May and being fascinated by the Finnish language and wanting to understand what was being said! Nice to know how some of these names are actually pronounced, some of them are absolutely butchered by English-speaking commentators 🤣
Pahinta on se, kun suomalainen mongertaa nämä nimet kuten ulkomaalainen esim. englantia puhuessaan. En tiedä mihin se perus ääntäminen katoaa, kun puhutaankin vieraalla kielellä. Hyvä esimerkki on myös Helsinki, joka lausutaan useimmiten ihan päin mäntyä jos suomalainen puhuu englantia ja mainitsee pääkaupunkimme. Välillä jopa ärsyttää :D
vtt355 öö ei. Suomalaiset kaupungit lausutaan niin kuten suomalainen ne sanoo, puhuttiin sitten englantia, koreaa tai vaikka saksaa. Samoin suomalaiset nimet jne. Englanninkielinen henkilö ei vain osaa lausua niitä samalla tavalla. On typerää, että suomalaiset alkavat mongertaa näitä sanoja samalla tavalla kuten ulkomaalaiset.
Fun video! Although I was a little disappointed no Dallas Stars made the list, especially Jere Lehtinen. Currently, a lot of people around the NHL seem to have a bit of trouble with the name Roope Hintz, so I'd love to hear it from a Finnish speaker. And, although it seems relatively easy to pronounce, I'm curious how well known is the name Miro Heiskanen is in Finland these days. Thanks!
Nice..i thought all of Finnish last name's were ending with "nen" lol..like Mika Hakinen,Kimi Raikkonen! Can u say as well the name's and last names from National Finnish soccer team? Thanks 😊
Sami and Jari also Finnish popular name i think..like Sami Hyppia and Jari Litmanen..😃 Not forget women name, Tarja Turronen..ex vocalist night wish.. huhuhu
Moi! Minä olen kotoisin Latviasta ja minä opiskelen suomea noin kaksi vuotta. Opiskelen Latvian Yliopistossa. Nyt me opiskelemme monikko partitiivi ja minä en ymmärrä tätä aihetta hyvin. Minusta se on tosi vaikea. Ja minulla on kysymys. Onko sinä voisit tehdä video tästä aiheesta?
Heh, partitiivi on haastava asia. Suomenruotsalaiset, jotka puhuvat muuten täydellistä suomea, paljastuvat aina lopulta ruotsinkielisiksi partitiivivirheiden takia 😂
I´m sold...!!! How can you pronounce finnish and (american) english so perfectly...??? You are amazing.. !!! By the way according to Esa Tikkanen...tikka also means darts as you said, but most commonly it means a woodpecker. The ending "nen" makes it smaller. So Tikkanen means: A little woodpecker. But anyway you are AMAZING...
There is also a joke about Esa Tikkanen, that when he would "trash talk" other players on the ice it would be in a mixture of Finnish and English that neither native speaker could quite understand, so they joked that it was a new language "Tikkanese" 😂
Not all people in America say Teemu's last name with an ah sound. For instance, I've never heard people from Canada say it like that. Although, people from the Spanish countries in America probably would because latin A's always have an "Ah" sound.
The memes were probably about Pekka Rinne and not Tuukka Rask. Rask has never been in the adult world championships whereas Rinne and Saros were quite famous for keeping the puck out of the goal in 2015 ;)
DroidTrf what do you mean? I know it’s s a Russian name and Finnish people probably pronounce it a bit wrong when they emphazise the ’K’. But that’s how most Finnish guys say it
@@tarvoro I would say that the length of the /k/ depends entirely on the speaker's dialect. That particular video was recorded in Tampere, where liaisons are relatively common (e.g. /sinnem meni/ and /läh(r)ek kotiin/ instead of "sinne meni" and "lähde kotiin"), so it's not a huge stretch to assume that a foreign name like Barkov could easily take on a similar characteristics. However, since Finnish does very distinctly differentiate between ~rk~ and ~rkk~ (e.g. in 'merkki' and 'merkitä'), I would say that pronouncing Barkov as "Barkkov" is not correct according to standard pronunciation.

My wife who last name ends in nen explained nen means of the. I am not Finnish born and my wife first name is Maritta I still struggle with the rolling R and the double T.
Hey, so now we are able to count from 1 to 10. During the weekdays people will meet with a lot of number over 10 or 100. Would you like to teach us how to say the numbers to 1000? You don't have to go through all the numbers. The rules and the logic behind the numbers should be easy to pick up. Thanks for that.
I'm not a native Finnish speaker (I'm Spanish actually). I might be wrong, and I don't know if there's a rule for when exactly to use ä instead of a (I guess they are just different letters. There wouldn't be this sort of confusion with "when to use ä and not e, for example"). But, through the time I've been learning Finnish, I've noticed that once you get ä/ö/y in a word, then there aren't any a/o/u (except when you get words that are two joined words, in which case each "word" retains it's own spelling). Either I've helped in some way or I've made things worse than they were jajajajajaja (sorry if that's the case)
Yeah it's basically just another letter so there's no real rule when you would use it instead of a. The only guidance I guess I could give you is to build off of what "rokorokero" mentioned. There's this thing called Vowel Harmony so if a word has a/o/u - a Finnish word won't have ä/ö/y in the same word just for ease of pronunciation. I can def do a video on vowel harmony though :D
According to Ye Olde Wiki Tiki Tavipedia, Barkov's dad is from Russia. I don't know about his mother. So Barkov, Jr. is first generation. Possibly half Finnish on his maternal side, assuming his mother is Finnish. Anyway, that explains why Barkov doesn't appear to be a Finnish last name. It's not.
This is not really a big deal, and i guess you could say it either way, but i would pronounce barkovs name with a double k, like barkkov (im finnish too)
womens hockey would be a lot more fun if the hitting was allowed. like why do they need some special protection? I mean they are really not playing against 130kg weighing Bufygliens etc. just an idea.
not really, you can speak it really fast but i guess KatChats want to speak it slowly to sound more clear, i feel that in Finnish language you can say things faster and more accurate than example in English, one Finnish word can be whole sentence in English
I would love if you did a video on how to pronounce Finnish musician names because I’m fairly certain that I’ve been pronouncing Ville Valo’s name incorrectly for ten years.
How about Finnish racing drivers ? I remember a few of them from the times I followed the sport, such as Mikka Häkkinen, Juha Kankkunen & Juha Piironen, Ari Vatanen, etc. Best regards, from Argentiina.
i was talking to my Finnish friend the other day and she said something about substantive noun endings or something like that. I asked her why it was “pidän juustoSTA” instead of just “pidän juusto” HELP edit: she may have been using the wrong word 😂 she does that a lot

Hey, so now we are able to count from 1 to 10. During the weekdays people will meet with a lot of number over 10 or 100. Would you like to teach us how to say the numbers to 1000? You don't have to go through all the numbers. The rules and the logic behind the numbers should be easy to pick up. Thanks for that.
Of course :)
Can youalso make a video, and there explain when you write that ä
Oh what do you mean?
I'm not a native Finnish speaker (I'm Spanish actually). I might be wrong, and I don't know if there's a rule for when exactly to use ä instead of a (I guess they are just different letters. There wouldn't be this sort of confusion with "when to use ä and not e, for example"). But, through the time I've been learning Finnish, I've noticed that once you get ä/ö/y in a word, then there aren't any a/o/u (except when you get words that are two joined words, in which case each "word" retains it's own spelling). Either I've helped in some way or I've made things worse than they were jajajajajaja (sorry if that's the case)
@@KatChatsFinnish I mean, if you can explain when in Finnish that a and that ä uses 😊
Yeah it's basically just another letter so there's no real rule when you would use it instead of a. The only guidance I guess I could give you is to build off of what "rokorokero" mentioned. There's this thing called Vowel Harmony so if a word has a/o/u - a Finnish word won't have ä/ö/y in the same word just for ease of pronunciation. I can def do a video on vowel harmony though :D

According to Ye Olde Wiki Tiki Tavipedia, Barkov's dad is from Russia. I don't know about his mother. So Barkov, Jr. is first generation. Possibly half Finnish on his maternal side, assuming his mother is Finnish. Anyway, that explains why Barkov doesn't appear to be a Finnish last name. It's not.
Are you from Finland 🤔
Jep :)
KatChats hei, sori mä en ymmärrä
Eksyin tänne Leijonien kiekkouutissivuston kautta, kun tekivät tästä videosta juttua :)
Hyvä video kakkos-osa ehdottomasti!
Hahaha kiitos paljon, tänne on tullut paljon hyviä kommentteja pelaajista joita en maininnut...eli kakkos-osa ehdottomasti! :D
@@KatChatsFinnish Täällä näin vuoden jälkeenpäin :)
Oletko tästä jo tehnyt sen kakkososan? En onnistunut löytämään.
This is not really a big deal, and i guess you could say it either way, but i would pronounce barkovs name with a double k, like barkkov (im finnish too)
Ok thanks ! That probably makes more sense :P
You do realize there are probably a lot of Finnish guys failing hard the No-nut November by listening you calling their name over and over again xD
Saku Koivu and Mikko Koivu are brothers if anyone was wondering
im still feeling bad that sebastian aho got to play so much longer than the other players in those last matches :(
Noora Raty is a legendary goalie. And I think they butcher her name in North America.

womens hockey would be a lot more fun if the hitting was allowed. like why do they need some special protection? I mean they are really not playing against 130kg weighing Bufygliens etc. just an idea.
Lol
I love hockey and this was helpful.
Also, what a beautiful woman! 😊
Beautiful high cheekbones and I love when she speaks Finnish!
I'm glad you found it helpful! :D
KatChats
Oh my!
She replied! 😍
I’m here for Selänne 💙💙💙💙 I have his autograph tattooed on my shoulder blade
Wow that's awesome!

For some reason, saying my mother's maiden name, Luhtala, turns my tongue from Canadian to Finnish.
Haha love it!
susta oli juttua iltalehessä vai oliks se iltasanomissa:) tästä videosta
Huomasin :O !!!
Aleksander Barkov sounds Russian to me (maybe I'm wrong)
Yes he’s Finnish-Russian
“I don't think that Saku is as popular of a player"😂😭😭

Is Markus a famous finnish name
it's relatively common, but I wouldn't call it particularly famous.
Is finnish a more slowed down language?
not really, you can speak it really fast but i guess KatChats
want to speak it slowly to sound more clear, i feel that in Finnish language you can say things faster and more accurate than example in English, one Finnish word can be whole sentence in English
It looks like most of them moved directly to Edmonton!
If you do another pronunciation video, could you articulate the difference between öy, yö and öi such as in työ, pöydä and töitä?
We need mörkö
rrrrrrrr😭😂
Filppula. I thought Finnish did not use the letter "F"...
We do use it, but mostly in loan words
mikko and saku are brothers
Makes sense :) Thanks!
I would love if you did a video on how to pronounce Finnish musician names because I’m fairly certain that I’ve been pronouncing Ville Valo’s name incorrectly for ten years.
That's a great idea!
Barkov is a Russian name and is actually pronounced with a long K, or a double K "Barkkov" in Finnish, like in "Tuukka".
Thanks for the explanation!
How about Finnish racing drivers ? I remember a few of them from the times I followed the sport, such as Mikka Häkkinen, Juha Kankkunen & Juha Piironen, Ari Vatanen, etc. Best regards, from Argentiina.
Ohh love this idea too!
Also current drivers Valtteri Bottas and Kimi Raikkonen.
No Sami Vatanen? FeelsBadMan
Part 2 :P
i was talking to my Finnish friend the other day and she said something about substantive noun endings or something like that. I asked her why it was “pidän juustoSTA” instead of just “pidän juusto” HELP
edit: she may have been using the wrong word 😂 she does that a lot
also i love your videos please don’t ever stop making them. you’ve taught me more Finnish than any textbook could 😂
OMG I JUST COMMENTED THE SAME. EXACT. THING. ON YOUR OTHER VIDEO IM SOOOOO SORRY LMAO
Btw very good video. Countine with your good video i support you if you need simeone to support you

I feel when watching the videos that you publish .. I see my girlfriend that I met in Finland .. I follow you to see more what is useful ..
You almost sounded just like you’ve been talking finland for your whole life :D
... talking Finnish. Like English - england is the land - they do language names differently.
Mä osaan kanssa lämää :D
It is not A Ho(e), it's Aho..... lol
xD
@@KatChatsFinnish Maybe you can do a video about pronunciation Finnish Athletes names... (Bottas, Litmanen, Hakkinen, Raikkonen, Koponen, Hyypia.... )
Love it!
@@KatChatsFinnish When you decide to make this video, don't forget to mention Sami Hyypia please, sport commentators here used to pronounce it Hipija (this is pronounced as written).... Thanks
How can I tell someone what will you be my GF
Funny when you talked about women's rights and then the first player was Selänne. Nothing wrong with you or the subject, he's the one who has problems.
Ei Koivu kyllä ole kovinkaan yleinen sukunimi...
Jep. Vähän yli 1000 on se nyt sukunimenä ja reilulla 3000 ollut kaiken kaikkiaan historian saatossa.
Joo mä kyl tarkotin enemmäm et Koivu, Koivunen, Koivukoski, Koivuniemi yms ei ehkä ihan Koivu omanaan :P Ainakin mun koulussa oli monta tuollaista nimeä :P
Kyllä minä mieleni niin pahoitin
