- Confused about the Finnish words tai and vai? Why do they both translate to "or", but still have a slight difference in meaning?!
In this video we will go over tai and vai. Hopefully by the end it'll be crystal clear what the difference is and in what situations you can use these words in! ✨

For a mathematician or electronics engineer this video could be told in a few seconds: "TAI" means "OR", "VAI" means "Exclusive-OR", usually abbreviated "XOR"
Haha yes exactly xD
kiitos paljon! that's a nice trick about "vai - vain" to remember!
Hope it will help you remember!
Thank you a lot a lot a lot. I can’t really describe how much I appreciate your help and videos. Making these topics small and simple to digest and understand is an amazing skill. Thank you so so so much for your help
Awww such a kind comment. Kiitos ihan hirveesti kommentistasi! 😄
So in summary tai for answering
And vai for questions
It was one of the first doubt i had i remember while playing Duolingo
In simple terms yes!
Great vid! I am a polish native speaker and we actually have two words for 'or' as well. And, they work the same as they fo in finnish. Finally something easy 😊
Yay! Hopefully this will be easy to rememeber then 😄
How nice of you to share these with us, millions appreciation!
Thank you so much also for watching and for the comment!
Kuuma's song Yliväimöinen has the perfect illustration of the principle, I think....
'Kruuna *vai* klaava, *tai* mikä vaan' (Heads or tails, or whatever)
Thank you Kat, you have a gift for making confusing things simple. I've been doing the Duolingo course for over 300 days and this was still confusing.❤
Yay that’s awesome! :)
@@KatChatsFinnish Thanks Katya. Sadly it's not that impressive. The free Duolingo course does not have the ability to ask questions. So I still make frequent mistakes in the simple partative present singular without even dealing yet with the locative , plural and perfective.
I'm a huge fan of Kat's work and this video lesson is an example of why. I was searching for exactly this. Löysin kantarellin metsästä. Työsi muuttaa elämää, ja sitä arvostetaan.
Hahah kiitos tosi paljon! :)
such a nice content! so clear
I like that reminder with vain I know the difference in function between tai and vai but end up forgetting which is which lol so I’m sure this will help me next time
Yay! I’m glad
@katechats every times you show photo with your dog, it really touches me. In my country when a beloved pet dies, prayer can offer comfort and help us on the path toward healing. I pray that your dog will reward kindly like it (your dog) done to you..
Awww kiitos paljon!
Thank you for this, I always have a hard time with these two, especially when I'm doing a duolingo lesson. It's been extremely helpful as always! Kiitos Kat! 😊
I’m super glad! Thanks a ton for your comment ☺️
Another amazing video! I had trouble differentiating between these two words when certain green owl taught them to me 😅 but I can always count on you to make learning Finnish both easy and fun! Kiitos tosi paljon Kat 💚
Hahah such a classic 😅 aww kiitos paljon sullekin for such an awesome comment!
Thanks. I'm sure if I ever really need to speak Finnish, this'll be the key and probably also keep me out of some trouble since I'll know when I'm being offered a choice I can make either way, or only one way like there's implied an actual distinction, dislocation, disjunction, etc. English handles this quite differently.
I studied Finnish once and maths/computer logics and was told TAI could be compared to the logical OR and VAI to the logical XOR ( exclusive OR). But I am learnng all the time and your lesson tought med about the statement aspect.
Ja sama suomeksi...
Kiitos paljon kat
Kiitoksia. Se ei ole logista, vain vaikeaa. Mutta nyt tiedän.
As a half finn, with Swedish as native language this make zero sense. I understand how to use it, but the general use for it is so implicit and explicit at the same time.😅
You always have a premise before or after a question. Which I'm sure finnish has too, but we only have one word for it like English.
Curious question. Do you speak Swedish too? I haven't followed you for long so maybe you mentioned it in a previous video.
I will surely become a member this month. You have the best lessons, hands down. Thanks again. 😊
Ms. Kat, Kiitos paljon! Nyt mä ymmarään how to use "tai" ja "vai in a sentence 🙏☺️
Jee! :D
Thanks. Kittos.
Kiitos! 😊
I've never thought there are connection between vai and vain. This explains it!
Me neither and I'm Finnish. I suppose these are the types of things you just pick up as a kid hearing and speaking your language and never think about why it is.
"vain" was the missing link. now I remember that.
Kiitos!
Yay! Mahtavaa!

Katja: yes
Hi can. You discuss also the difference between aamulla and aamuna? Kiitos
aamulla" is used to specify the time when something occurs, typically translated as "in the morning,"
Example: "Menemme uimaan aamulla." ("We will go swimming in the morning.")
while "aamuna" is used to describe the state of being in the morning or to specify "on a morning."
Example: "Eräänä kauniina aamuna heräsin aikaisin." ("On a beautiful morning, I woke up early.")
❤🇫🇮
Kiitos

What's the difference between missä and minne?
Missä:Used to ask about someone or something's location at a static point in time.
Minne: Used to ask about someone or something moving towards a place
Missä = where? Where is it? Where am I?
Minne = where to? Where are you going?
Thanks for the video. I look forward to the next one. I noticed the luggage in the background....I hope your trip goes well. Kiitos
It’s going super well thank you!
