I've been studying finnish for quite a bit and believe it or not, these kind of videos with things you will definetly use in your everyday, are really useful :D
Gabriela Carlón Hei actually I'm a beginner at Finnish and would love to know if we can study it together and help each other through social media in order to improve it, just to mention I've a Finnish book which contains all needed things stating by basic things
I have been living in Finland for 1 year now and I took the Finnish Language A2 level integration course and to be honest, I realized even the Finns don’t know the real reason as in why they use some endings. I like to learn so I was asking a lot of questions in class as in why some endings are the way they are and I can quite remember my teacher saying many times that, there’s no reason for that, it’s just how it is said so you just have to remember it. However, whenever you see endings like seen, uun, iin, aan, lle it means TO-> you can only use them when using the verb mennä or when asked the question mihin? So if I’m not wrong, it is not translated in English as INTO.. It only means TO. For example, I can say nyt annan kynä Georginalle. Which means now I’m giving the pencil TO Georgina. Or I can say lähetän posti Helsinkiin. Which in English means, I’m sending a post TO. SSA means in or at. So I think thats why the when you say menossa, it translates to GOING INTO.
I'm no Finnish grammar expert but there seem to be two sets of location endings: -iin/-ssa/-sta, i.e., (Helsingiin) to Helsinki/(Helsingissa) in Helsinki/(Helsingista) from Helsinki and -lle/-lla/-lta (torille) to the market/(torilla) at the market/(torilta) from the market.
The basic difference between these endings was explained this way in elementary school: TaloON (Into the house), TaloSSA (in(side) the house), TaloSTA (from the house). KatoLLE (onto the roof), KatoLLA (on the roof), KatoLTA (from the roof). Hope this helped.
@@divinegwaps987 Some of those aren't completely correct, sorry This is how I'd say them as a native Finn (puhekieli): Mua nukuttaa Mua väsyttää Mä oon kipeenä Mul on nälkä Mul on jano/Mua janottaa Mul on kuuma Mul on kylmä
"Menen" can be either the present tense or the future tense. Menen sinne huomenna = I will go there tomorrow. Menen sinne parhaillaan = I am going there right now. Menen sinne joka päivä = I go there every day.
Moi Katya. Thankyou for your videos explaining the different aspects of the finnish language. Its so helpful for us learning it. I have a suggestion for a videotopic along the lines of this series. What is the difference between viedä and tuoda. Mä vien ja mä tuon. Have a fine day! Moi moi.
Bussipysäkkiin would translate to "I'm going in the bus stop" so you would want to say "Olen menossa bussipysäkille" cause that translates to "I'm going to the bus stop". So it depends on the situation, sometimes you use -iin and sometimes -lle
@@KatChatsFinnish Kiitos. Interesting thing for me about Sámi, Sami, Saami, what have you, is that I appear to have some genetic connection to the indigenous group. Not saying I am Sámi, mind you, but I am seeing and learning of more evidence that I share ancestry with some of the Sámi. I admit, I think that's pretty cool.
kaamos (polar night, darkness), jänkä (poor fen, sedge mire), tokka (herd (when speaking about reindeer)), tunturi (arctic hill, mountain), kahlata (to wade), kenttä (court, playing field, field, pitch, and some other things) and nuotio (campfire). The were examples of Sami loanwords in Finnish in the Finnish-language Wikipedia. Apparently there are a lot more. The Sami people used to live in places a lot further south than they do now, for example the area where I live is now monolingually Finnish-speaking and not even particularly close to Lapland, but the Sami people used to live here 500 or 1000 years ago.
Can you teach two verbs in a sentence? Like “I WANT TO GO or I WANT TO EAT” is is like in French and Spanish where first verb is conjugated and second verb isn’t ? Thanks keep up the awesome work!
@@KatChatsFinnish It can also happen with nouns it seems after studying a bit! For example, the finnish noun talo (House) can become talossa (In the house).
Regarding ending part of menossa sentence, I think there are some rules as you explained but there are exceptions too. Examples below. menen metroasemaan is not correct, though I am going inside the metro station. it's menen metroasemelle which is correct menen Ruohulahtiin is correct because I am going inside Ruoholahti area. But on similar grounds menen Malmiin is not correct, rather menen Malmille is correct. :-)
As far as I know, pretty much anything. I am eating - Olen syömäSSÄ. I'm doin' it right now! - Oon just tekemäSSÄ sitä. I am making up a new example for Bon - Olen keksimäSSÄ uutta esimerkkiä Bonille.
Mennä= means "to go""going in a place" needs the Vn ending Finnish present tense form of the verb can indicate an on going action. Present tense Mennä in colloquial Finnish Mä meen Kauppaan- I'll go/I'm going to the store Sä meet Kauppaan- you'll go/ you're going to store Se menee kauppaan(singular) she,he is going to the store Me mennaan kauppaan-we'll go/we're going Te meette Kauppaan- you'll go(plural) Ne menee Kauppaan- they'll go/they're going Present mennä in formal Finnish Minä menen Kauppaan- I will go to the store Sinä menet Kauppaan- you will going to the store Han menee Kauppaan-she,he will going to store Me menemme Kauppaan- we will going to store Te menette Kauppaan-you will going (plural) He menvat Kauppaan- they will going to the store There is past tense form also in mennä Mä menin/minä menin-- I went Sä menit/sinä menit-- you went(singular) Se meni/han meni-- she/he went Me mentiin/me menimme-- we went Te menitte--you went (plural) Ne meni/ he menivät--- they went
pöydällä = on the table pöydän päällä = on top of the table I don't think anyone uses 'pöydän päällä' though as it sounds silly. To me, 'pöydän päällä' gives a feeling that something is levitating over the table.
@@MottiMage it can be on wall or roof over the table if it is pöydän päällä, so it is kind of levitating, pöydällä is directly on table surface. example fly was flying over the table, kärpänen lensi pöydän päällä. Fly was eating on table, kärpänen söi pöydällä. then you can say kärpänen oli pöydän päällä, which mean fly was over the table, but contains meaning that it can be flying and/or sitting on table and do what ever flies do normally
@@freezedeve3119 Like-- ovella (someone is behind the door; almost here timewise) ovessa could be said about some sort of note attached to the door. Kaapilla -- "käyn kaapilla" You go and get something (a snack maybe) or do inventory about the things that are kaapissa before returning.
Also Seinäjoki, Seinäjoella, Saarijärvi, Saarijärvellä. Because joessa or järvessä would implicate you're actually going down into a river (joki) or a lake (järvi).

Aw kiitos, I'm so glad to hear that :)
I like how you sneak in your own jokes and laugh at them🤩. Honestly your videos are life saving. Much appreciated.

except, of course, Tampere.. there it'd be oon menossa Tampereella, because reasons.
Please, make a video showing how to say:
1. I am sleepy.
2. I am tired.
3. I am sick.
4. I am hungry.
5. I am thirsty.
6. I am hot.
7. I am cold.
Mä on nukutti
Mua väsyttää
Mä olen sairas
Mulla on nälkä
Mulla on jano
Mä olen kuume
Mä olen nuha
@@divinegwaps987 Some of those aren't completely correct, sorry
This is how I'd say them as a native Finn (puhekieli):
Mua nukuttaa
Mua väsyttää
Mä oon kipeenä
Mul on nälkä
Mul on jano/Mua janottaa
Mul on kuuma
Mul on kylmä
"Menen" can be either the present tense or the future tense. Menen sinne huomenna = I will go there tomorrow. Menen sinne parhaillaan = I am going there right now. Menen sinne joka päivä = I go there every day.
True!!
Can one add ossa to all verbs just like menossa from mennä? Something like olen kirjoitossa kirjaan?
Kiitos paljon..Katya plz alz give us this type of lesson really its helpful..plz never stop this type of vedio..❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aw thank you :)
Is it possible you can make video about all the Finnish cases. Thank you.
Moi Katya. Thankyou for your videos explaining the different aspects of the finnish language. Its so helpful for us learning it.
I have a suggestion for a videotopic along the lines of this series. What is the difference between viedä and tuoda. Mä vien ja mä tuon.
Have a fine day! Moi moi.
I think I already have a video on this topic, just search my channel + viedä tuoda and it should come up! :D
Finnish is so confusing, thank you for explaining so clearly Katya 😭💜
Aw, and thank you for continuing to watch and always leaving such lovely comments. I really appreciate it, kiitos!
KatChats aw of course and thank you so much for making these amazing videos! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into making them ☺️☺️
Jos sanoin :
" olen menossa bussipysäkkiin"
Onko hyvä?
When we used " olen menossa" all time in illative the last word???
Bussipysäkkiin would translate to "I'm going in the bus stop" so you would want to say "Olen menossa bussipysäkille" cause that translates to "I'm going to the bus stop". So it depends on the situation, sometimes you use -iin and sometimes -lle
Thank you Kat for your videos. They are so helpful. Please keep them coming. More mini sentences would be great. Maybe I would like. Can I have ...?
Oh thanks for the suggestions! :D
Thank you, great videos. Instead of saying Menen Helsinkiin, can I say Menen Helsingille? Are they different?
Yeah they are different and you would almost always use “menen Helsinkiin”
@@KatChatsFinnishIsn’t this bcos of the ”vokaali” that’s why it shouldn’t be -lle. Like you won’t say ”keittiölle” but ”keittiöön? 🤔
Hopefully can teach us also the difference of mennä,tulla and käydä and their verb ending to use
Do you know of any Finnish words borrowed from the Sámi languages and vise verse?
Not off the top of my head
@@KatChatsFinnish Kiitos. Interesting thing for me about Sámi, Sami, Saami, what have you, is that I appear to have some genetic connection to the indigenous group.

@@izzardclips9350 Kiitos paljon
Please what is the difference between mä meen and menen
UusiKielemme and TheFinnishTeacher.Weebly are the best places for Finnish grammar and vocab!!
Can you teach two verbs in a sentence? Like “I WANT TO GO or I WANT TO EAT” is is like in French and Spanish where first verb is conjugated and second verb isn’t ? Thanks keep up the awesome work!
Yes it is. Haluan syödä= I want to eat
Haluan mennä= I want to go
Does this happen/occur with other verbs, or just Menna? Meno seems like a noun.
It can, the -ssa ending can be used with all verbs I believe
@@KatChatsFinnish It can also happen with nouns it seems after studying a bit! For example, the finnish noun talo (House) can become talossa (In the house).
Regarding ending part of menossa sentence, I think there are some rules as you explained but there are exceptions too. Examples below.

menen Ruohulahtiin is correct because I am going inside Ruoholahti area. But on similar grounds menen Malmiin is not correct, rather menen Malmille is correct. :-)
Yeah there are always those pesky exceptions xD
Beautiful explanation 🔥
Kiitos :)
How do you say “olen menossa” in puhekieli?
Oon menossa :)
KatChats Finnish that’s what i figured. Thanks. I’m learning a lot from you
Kiitos paljon!
i know you can also say “oon tulossa” like i’m coming. what other verbs can be used in this form in finnish
As far as I know, pretty much anything. I am eating - Olen syömäSSÄ. I'm doin' it right now! - Oon just tekemäSSÄ sitä. I am making up a new example for Bon - Olen keksimäSSÄ uutta esimerkkiä Bonille.
Mennä= means "to go""going in a place"
needs the Vn ending
Finnish present tense form of the verb can indicate an on going action.
Present tense Mennä in colloquial Finnish
Mä meen Kauppaan- I'll go/I'm going to the store
Sä meet Kauppaan- you'll go/ you're going to store
Se menee kauppaan(singular) she,he is going to the store
Me mennaan kauppaan-we'll go/we're going
Te meette Kauppaan- you'll go(plural)
Ne menee Kauppaan- they'll go/they're going
Present mennä in formal Finnish
Minä menen Kauppaan- I will go to the store
Sinä menet Kauppaan- you will going to the store
Han menee Kauppaan-she,he will going to store
Me menemme Kauppaan- we will going to store
Te menette Kauppaan-you will going (plural)
He menvat Kauppaan- they will going to the store
There is past tense form also in mennä
Mä menin/minä menin-- I went
Sä menit/sinä menit-- you went(singular)
Se meni/han meni-- she/he went
Me mentiin/me menimme-- we went
Te menitte--you went (plural)
Ne meni/ he menivät--- they went
Also I can't get what is the difference between - ' pöydällä ' ja ' pöydän päällä '. Is't they both mean - 'on the table' ?
Yeah, they're basically the same.
pöydällä = on the table
pöydän päällä = on top of the table
I don't think anyone uses 'pöydän päällä' though as it sounds silly. To me, 'pöydän päällä' gives a feeling that something is levitating over the table.
@@MottiMage it can be on wall or roof over the table if it is pöydän päällä, so it is kind of levitating, pöydällä is directly on table surface.
example fly was flying over the table, kärpänen lensi pöydän päällä. Fly was eating on table, kärpänen söi pöydällä. then you can say kärpänen oli pöydän päällä, which mean fly was over the table, but contains meaning that it can be flying and/or sitting on table and do what ever flies do normally
interesting thing is that you can not use both for objects that contains door, as "ovella" means totally different thing same with "kaapilla"
@@freezedeve3119 Like-- ovella (someone is behind the door; almost here timewise) ovessa could be said about some sort of note attached to the door. Kaapilla -- "käyn kaapilla" You go and get something (a snack maybe) or do inventory about the things that are kaapissa before returning.
olen menossa = I am (in the process of) going
menen = I will go
aion mennä = I intend to go
Pay attention on Tampere😉 (Tampereella, Tampereelle, Tampereelta)
Also Seinäjoki, Seinäjoella, Saarijärvi, Saarijärvellä. Because joessa or järvessä would implicate you're actually going down into a river (joki) or a lake (järvi).

"Menen" and "olen menossa" basically mean same thing. Former is grammary right, but latter is used commonly.
