I find Duolingo really helpful, but the Finnish is still in Beta, and there are many times when it does not accept correct variant answers, and some times when it’s just plain wrong. Don’t beat yourself up, report the errors and the limited scope of “acceptable” answers, and soldier through with true sisu. You’ll learn a lot by working through the limitations of the current version and help future learners. You’re doing great!!!🤜🏼🤛🏼👍🏼

@10:18, morsian = martian = alien, love the logic!
:D
Yeah and in "love" category
The alien is smiling 😂😂😂😂
In Alien films the monster smiles just before it bites your head off 😆
To appreciate and to admire have quite different meanings if you ask me
@@tresorberlin3207 no ehkä tyyppi joka opettelee suomea? :D
I agree. Appreciate= arvostaa and admire=ihailla
@@shadow_song Hyvin servattu
"Kulta" is funny Word in Finnish. It means gold and also darling. But we dont usually call anyone "hunaja" (honey).
We say "hani" instead. ;) :D
@@KristinaWes helekutin anglismeja....
@@eryana9437 ;) :D :D :D Niinpä - vaan kun tuokin on tullut puhekieleen jo ainakin 50 v. sitten (tiedän, koska olen itse yli 50) ;), niin kaipa se on aika suomalainen sana jo, sekin. Nimenomaan noin "suomeksi" kirjotettuna. Jos katsotaan sanojen alkuperiä, niin suurin osa kielestämme on muutekin lainaa jostakin, vain vähän suomalaiseen suuhun sopivammaksi väännettynä.
@@KristinaWes No tuosta, että suurin osa sanoista olisi lainaa, olen vähän eri mieltä, paljon on kylläkin!
@@85sharifa55 Mielipide on eri asia kuin tieto. 😉

Todella hyvin menee. Ja oikein olit vastannut, vaikka duolingo ei ymmärtänytkään. Hyvä, että autat parantamaan sitä niille, jotka vasta aloittelevat suomen kielen oppimista.
You can easily tell that the Finnish is still in beta.
"Kakka!" 😂 doing good Dave 👍🏻
Dave, I can't even tell you how much affection and comradeship I feel with you watching this! I've been watching your videos - especially the Finnish learning ones - for about a year now, as I've been learning myself, but this is the first time I've been going through the exact same course/pain as you at the exact same time! Thank you!
It's a difficult language, so it's only natural that's it will probably be a life long journey to learn it. But you've already come so far and I was really impressed when you understood even the more complex sentences! Duolingo will "punish" you if you have one mistake there, and I agree that some of those were unfair, let's hope that as the course develops it will become a bit more forgiving. And judging by your other videos like vlogs where you speak Finnish and Cadin Keittiö, you're so much more skilled than you give yourself credit for. Keep up the good work!
...
But I still think it was hilarious that you thought morsian means an alien xD Especially since you are married, my good man! Wonder if Cat got a good laugh out of that. xD
miks kukaan haluis asuu suomes
Saying PERKELE!! like a true fin 😁👍
th-cam.com/video/z7_pVrIshxA/w-d-xo.html just leaving this here 🤣
You have made so much progress with your Finnish! I'd love to see you test how much you understand from Finnish song lyrics for example. Either by listening or reading them. I think lyrics of Apulanta would suit really well, because as far as I remember they don't use too much of tricky slang words.
Maybe you dont notice how much you are improved. I can tell. Alot! Slow and steady you improve every day :)
I've been watching your videos for a few days now and the most impressive moment so far has been the one where you open a non-alcoholic bubbly bottle. The immediate "MITÄ VITT...." -reaction, when the bottle cap exploded was so genuine and as Finnish as it gets. Well done Dave! You have become a Finn, since none other than a Finn would be able to react that way. Generally your Finnish has improved massively during the past years.
I've never followed any actual vlogger before, since I thought it wouldn't be my thing, but you and Cat do have a great thing going on and I really respect your bravery and attitude. I can only imagine what it would be like to make so big change in life, but you guys have done it really well! You have found a real goldmine, since Finns have always been madly interested, about what foreigners think about us (I'm not an exception). You have so great way to tell it and endless amount of material to do. Keep up the good work!
"She does not speak Swedish but Norwegian" should've been accepted as well, both that sentence and "She is not speaking Swedish but Norwegian" are same in Finnish.
I was just about to tell him the same 👍
Yes--- is speaking right now/speaks in a general sense -- no real difference in Finnish. As in, if punctuation and Beginning a Word with a Capital Letter make no difference (as is the case with Duolingo), then this shouldn't either.
I thought the French duolingo I am doing was strange but man the Finnish one takes the cake. And you're correct to submit those, in Finnish same thing can be said in many ways or have several similar meanings depending on the context. Good going, keep it up!
Btw. listen to pronomini-rock by Spede Pasanen to get your Finnish pronouns in check.
😄😄😄 I can't even.. I have never used those.. "outoa, hän ei pidä pullasta vaikka hän on suomalainen"..
The "älykäs professori, joka asuu Italiassa etsii lämmintä sydäntä" Isn't finnish.. no one would ever talk like that.. 😄😄😄🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I've been doing the dualingo Finnish course too for 27 days and I totally agree that up to the 'coffee' course I was doing fine but then after that it's like the courses suddenly jumped 10 levels in difficulty! Some mistakes I've noticed in the Finnish bot pronunciation and also I feel like there are courses with so many unnecessary words and phrases..
I just learned some Finnish with the exact same app you're using here. What's difficult for me is that I'm not a native English speaker, but Duolingo only offers Finnish from English... so I needed to work with two foreign languages. And what shocked me: all of a sudden it came to an end. So now I need to find myself a new program to work with. Have fun learning !
Oh by the way Dave! Dunno why this idea came to me, but you should dive into the world of the vast amount of Finnish verbs we have to describe motion for example. It is ridiculous in a way, but also a sign of a rich language I guess 😛
Lorista (Purl)
Liristä (Purl)
Lotista (Squelch)
Litistä (Squelch)
Lätistä (Squelch)
Väpättää (Flap)
Vipattaa (Flap)
Lepattaa (Flap)
Niristä (Squeak)
Narista (Squeak)
Natista (Squeak)
Nitistä (Squeak)
To a Finn these are all different things, and we know by the word what kind of movement or sound is being meant. We have an ample amount of words to describe the wind, movements and sounds of water, grass, fire etc.
Good job man, you inspired me to learn swedish in dualingo
@Pyllynalle FIN ok
They still speak Swedish in Tammisaari! But yeah the islamisation of Europe is a huge concern
@Pyllynalle FIN Are you Mikko?
6:20 I laughed at the sentence. This is why Duolingo is hard. Sometimes sentences do not make any sense.
yeah, for example (from the same lesson, I think) "The bride is a woman and the groom is a hedgehog."
Hyvää työtä, Dave! Osaat jo hienosti.😃
these Finnish sentences are so awkward 😭 like what's with that professor and looking for a warm heart 😭
Maybe they need a transplant? 😆
@@Susirajantakaa Or he likes to eat a heart warm?
What you on about? I like eating hearts warm
I haven't been keeping up with your studies lately, you've really come a long way! Hienosti Dave!
Very niiiice! Good Job Dave! Keep on going!
Im Finnish and i have to agree that duolingo is kinda of brutal, most of the mistakes you make are so small that if spoken in a sentence nobody would notice the mistakes.
I would also like to point out that words dont have meanings, they have usages. Duolingo is trying to get you to speak perfect finnish, but nobody speaks perfect finnish and if someone did, everyone would look at him like he was from another planet. Language evolves all the time, making dictionaries become out of date very quickly.
Pyry ei tajua = Pyry does not realize (instead of "is not sure"). ;)
Ihailevat = admires, but kunnioittavat/arvostavat = appreciates. :)
Don't you think that it would be time for the next 'Dave goes out to public to use Finnish' video?
Definitely don't rush through the lessons. You'll miss vocabulary and valuable practice. Take your time!
I'm also learning Finnish and I would say that nothing works better than good old Suomen Mestari 😏
4:33 Mitä perkele! 5:51 Kakka!😂 Your videos are so funny and You have learned so much english
It came straight from the heart😂😂😂 5:51
Man did the thumbnail confuse me at first
I'm so impressed with your skills! You're doing so well.
Duolingo feels nice however there is one downside: Finnish is my native language but it is not (yet?) supported as a learning language. So I am using the English interface to learn Spanish 🤪
Yo también!
3:55 i've been there haha. Varsinkin kun opiskelen saksaaa englannin kautta enkä suomeksi niin sieltä voi sitten löytyä kolmea eri kieltä sekasin :'D
3:37 yes it's a name :)
Kakka! Was so pure.
I have followed your Finnish learning since from the beginning and im impressed how much you already know. Many times you are suspicious about some word but you still get it right. Almost always you get the sentence right but Duolingo says its wrong and you do good job for reporting it because the application is made in USA so i believe it is difficult to make it perfect in every language so you ''teach'' it for the future Finnish language learners.
Olen seurannut sinun Suomen kielen opettelua siitä lähtien kun aloitit aivan alusta ja olen vaikuttunut kuinka paljon tiedät jo nyt. Useasti epäröit jotain sanaa mutta saat sen silti oikein. Melkein aina lauseesi on oikein mutta Duolingo sanoo että se on väärin ja teet hyvää työtä kun ilmoitat asiasta koska sovellus on tehty USA:ssa joten uskon että on vaikeata tehdä se täydelliseksi joka kielellä joten sinä ''opetat'' sitä tuleville Suomen kielen opiskelijoille
You have to give yourself credit for learning the very basics quite fast because you have been learning another language at the same time, swedish. That is also the thing that slows your learning down because you don’t speak finnish all the time with Cat. I think that if Cat would be only finnish speaking your everyday vocabularly would be much wider. But thumbs up for you! 👍🏻👍🏻
i actually started learning russian because your learning finnish videos to improve my csgo gaming experience :D
I now know how to ask for gun in game :D i also understand more callouts so that's good :p
Hyvä Dave! Pidä tahti yllä! Keep on going!
you are already really proficient in Finnish👏👏
"mitä!? perkele!" HAHA consider yourself an officially certified Finn
In that context, the alien's answer is also correct.. 😊
4:08 Good you didn't report. The main verb is pretty far off.
Who decided that appliance word "grill" is also a verb? :) I mean you can't say "oven the pie" you say "bake the pie" and no "uunita" either in finnish, but "grillaa, grillata" is. Cadin keittiö shall now on be known as Cad's ovening :P
It is funny. "keittää" ja "paistaa" -- keittää -- boiling water is involved -- paistaa -- many kinds of things of heat -- oven, frying pan -- even the Sun.
You will be soon ready for finnish music like Eppu Normaali - murheellisten laulujen maa or Leevi and the Leavings (any song).
Duolingo seems like a good app but it doesn't have a Finnish version. I can't use it to improve my English and learn German
We learned today that 'morsian' is not Martian! XD
Kulta is also a gold
you should listen to how suomen-ruotsalaiset speak in hanko.some finn said,ruotsin suomi rules :) I meen,just speak it fluently,everyone understands,even if some words are from an other language.still though,in hanko,almost everyone speak several languages.finnish sweedish english and hanko
8:47 hope this helps🤠
(singlular/plural)
tämä / nämä
tuo / nuo
se / ne
When we were learning english at school our teacher was very exact for everything. i´m not sure, but i think cannot is more of a slang for can not even thou it´s widely used these days. Can´t would´ve propably also be correct. She was always mad that i used words like gonna and wanna as they are more of a slang or american english and we were suppose to learn propal brittish english.
The alien is smiling 🤣
Good job, Dave!✌
tajua is a really good word to learn. i use aaall the time. like 'en tajuu' or 'mä en tajuu' means 'i don't get it' ;)
04:50 cannot means = ei pysty. Don't know how means = ei teidä kuinka, and can't means = ei osaa. 03:08 correct would be = even though or although.
So Dave, it can mean, that software is in correct, and you only think, that it is not, or you think that it is too accurate (even you have to be most times accurate, when you talk with someone).
Yeah, don't skip lessons anymore, that is a good choice. And there is saying; "practice makes master".
I think you're doing supperbly, nevermind owls
Impressive. You were many times kind of right.
"The Alien is smiling" 😂
LMAO
"martian" huutikset
Dave. Suosittelen osallistumaan iltakursille suomen kieltä. Niissä käytetään sekä kirjoja että puheharjoituksia muiden opiskelevien ihmisten kanssa. Sillä tavalla kaikki tuntuu helpommasta kun toiset ovat samalla kielitaitotasolla kuin sinut.
I'm American, have a finnish fiance, have lived here 4 years and studied the language for three, and live in a primarily swedish speaking area of Finland. So to say, me ollaan samassa veneessa...
While there is much you can accomplish at home, going to a course will not only help you with the grammar, but it will give you ahuge confidence boost when you find that you have actually made great progress already. You are among the small percent who can pursue the language acquisition outside of the classroom, and with a little help I bet you will reach fluency before me.
Perhaps you can make a reboot series of the Race to the Finnish called Suomen Kielen Isoin Maraton to reflect your dedication to long term learning!!
Edit: spelling
10:27 😂😂😂
Rakastin kun sanoit "mitä perkele" 4:34, "kakka!" 5:51 ja "MITÄ?!?!?!" 3:32 lol! 😆😆😆
Perkele is good
You so choreographed
You did notice one of the mistakes you had at around 4:00 minute mark but you didn't acknowledge the other one, at least not vocally. You wrote "is not sure" when the solution said "does not realize". And yes, "tajuta" is "to realize" so "hän ei tajua" is "he/she does not realize".
Although = kumminkin
In this video you are learning Finnish and I am learning English🤘🏼🔥
hyvinhän tuo soljuu, jatka vaan kielen opiskelua... Tehtiin kaverin kanssa juomapeli, aina kun Sinulla menee sana oikein juodaan Jaloviinaa, toistaiseksi ollaan humalassa :)
you are good!
Silly Duolingo, you did great! Have a celebratory makkara ja pari Karhua!
"Where's my Martian?! We have a wedding to get to!" 🙈😀
Your answer at 6:00 was correct! The app was wrong. I guess the version is still in beta, so don't beat yourself up, you did well!
Yeah I would have used that translation too.
Ongelmana oli se, että lauseesta olisi pitänyt ymmärtää konteksti. On todennäköisintä, että joku sanoo "hän ei puhu ruotsia vaan norjaa", kun joku on parhaillaan puhumassa norjaa. Asiayhteydestä tavallaan pitäisi ymmärtää, että norjan puhuminen tapahtuu parhaillaan. "He doesn't speak Swedish but Norwegian" tavallaan viittaisi siihen, että henkilö ei osaa puhua ruotsia, mutta osaa sen sijaan puhua norjaa, kun taas "he isn't speaking Swedish but Norwegian" viittaa siihen, että kieli, jota ihminen parhaillaan puhuu, on norjaa ruotsin sijaan.
Itsekin olisin kääntänyt lauseen niin kuin Dave, mutta jos ollaan tarkkoja, oli sovelluksen ehdottama käännös oikea, ja Daven käännös epätarkka (tavallaan sanatarkasti oikea käännös lauseelle, mutta käytännössä vihjaa jotain, mikä olisi melko epätodennäköistä). Silti sanoisin, että Daven käännöksen pitäisi olla hyväksyttävä, koska se oli periaatteessa oikein.
I repeat, repeat,repeat. There is no other way. AND I have a lot of learning cards :) Although I am still.on level 2. But I love Duolingo system, it is fun!!
Dave, suomesi on jo tosi hyvää
Wow you've come so far 👏👏👏👏
Shit I got dropped by the alien xDDD
The alien 😂
Did you try Mondly app for Finnish? Imho it's much better then Duolingo
4:35😂😂😂😂
Voi noita lauseita. Älykäs professori....🤔🙄😂
Thank you because im from finland and im not good at english so this maybe help me and im 10 years old xD,kiitos jos ymmärrät
😂 perkeleen hyvä ja hauska
Please enlarge the duolingo print so we can see it. Thanks. Am also doing duolingo.
Hyvä Dave, olet edistynyt paljon!
Ihan suomalainen jo 😄 siis kukaan ei puhu noin.. "älykäs professori etsii lämmintä sydäntä"???? 😄🤦🏻♀️

10:39😅
I am finish
Suomi mainittu torilla tavataan! B)
I laughed so hard😂
MITÄ PERKKELE! 😂😂
In your first set you were completely right in your complaints. Shitty program.
Finally!!!!
Kk
Minä tykkään sinun videoistasi voisin tilata
Hyvä juttu, No its not a easy whit Finnish. Swedish has many words from german, france and american, so it can be easy understand and learn...But Finnish sound weird, hard for some, but I think it sonds powerfull, you lnow ehen you are in trouble, but the kind and romantic words maybe not so soft, Take the world I love you and the word I gona kill you, I do think I love you sounds harder, then I gona kill you in finnish 😂 People who doesnt understand will defentlly reacy more at shouting I love you, then I gona kill you...
why the fuck cant a finnish person learn english on duolingo or any language from finnish
Pakollinen eka kommentti
I'm starting to believe that 80% of your viewers are finnish and when you're talking about finnish stuff they're finnish people you're talking to all this long
