Have you forgotten the word "hyvin"? I think it's also translated to "very", right? Hyvin hyvä = very good. That was the first possibility I thought of.
@@EestiKurt1 Hyvin hyvä sana. Jopa Ruotsalaiset tykkää. hyvens Borrowed from Finnish hyvin (“well”), from Finnish hyvä (“good”). tykätä Borrowed from Swedish tycka (“to think of”), tycka om (“to be fond of”).
@@Illustrate_it Yeah, hyvens! Being from Stockholm, I know that expression very well. Han e hyvens! Han e reko! Han e alla tajders! Old Stockholm slang....
@@EestiKurt1 I was joking. hyvin hyvä / hästi hea is not correct. this can be added HIRMU (informal) related to hirveä, hirm, hirmeä, hirvittää very, really, extremely (usually in a positive sense) Meil oli hirmu naljaa Linnanmäel.🇫🇮🇪🇪 We had a really good time in Linnanmäki.

Nice video. Just a couple of comments. When you say that it's warm outside, don't say "se on" at the beginning, it isn't quite normal. Just "Ulkona on tosi lämmin.". And all who learn finnish should know that outside of that kind of phrases Kat teaches in this video both hirveä and kauhea mean horrible or terrible. Tää on ihan hirveetä means"This is really horrible".
Using "se on" that way is typical for native English as well as Swedish speakers who speak Finnish. So it will be understood even if it sounds a bit awkward, because Finnish people are used to such expressions especially with Swedish speakers. But yes, it is a bit awkward. As an additional note, if you say "hirveesti" or "kauheesti" (with the -STI adverbial ending), the meaning will then be "very much"...
Tää on niin hauska = This is so fun (so I'd probably translate it as "so" but the meaning is pretty much the same) & Tää on ihan hauska = This is quite fun -> I feel like it's less strong than very :)
My goal is to become fluent in Finnish. I've been using Duolingo so far, but I'm wondering if you have any tips on where to start, bc I dont think Duos going to get me fluent, sadly. New sub btw :)
Moi! And welcome to my channel! I have a playlist for beginners: th-cam.com/play/PLRT3b6lFfYD_S8NDrObGCXO43j9l0G-1p.html I can also recommend: - Aalto has a free online course: openlearning.aalto.fi/course/view.php?id=59 - Her Finland has a free Finnish class too: bit.ly/katchatsfinnish - If you are in Finland you can listen to YLE Kielikoulu to get used to listening to Finnish, just type it into Google - If you want more practice using my videos, I make monthly workbooks for my TH-cam/Patreon Tier 2 members that includes practice exercises for each month's videos - Here is also my playlist where I speak only Finnish with subtitles which gets you practicing listening: th-cam.com/play/PLRT3b6lFfYD9Lf239IXzGzD3oQuAj7KBs.html&feature=shared I guess that's already a lot to get started xD
Terve! Are there any sources for digging into Finnish culture (movies, music, games, books in Finnish)? I'm enjoying the series you have that are translating finnish songs
Tää on niin hauska = This is so fun (so I'd probably translate it as "so" but the meaning is pretty much the same) or Toi kukka on niin kaunis = That flower is so pretty, Sä juokset niin nopeesti = You run so fast
@@PerfectBrEAThER that may be but I am English and ‘very fun’ is NEVER used. We say something is ‘very funny’ (a joke etc) but NEVER ‘very fun’ - in the context of general enjoyment we say ‘great fun’.
Excellent, Katchats! Very instructive, and to be honest, I still have trouble with words that are alike. For example, erittäin sounded to me like specifically, which is a different word (erityisesti). Mixing things up as a foreigner in Finland, is oikein helpoa! Thank for the time and effort spent on the video!
Words kauhea(n) ja hirveä(n) mean terrible or horrible. There´s even third word that means the same thing : Kamala(n). So actually you´re saying, this food is terribly good....and so on....

What about ”ihan” or ”niin” (idk how to spell it). I have heard both used in similar context, or at least that is how I interpreted them 😅

Erittain hiirveen kauheen are new for me
Jee! :)
Tämä video on tosi hyvä ja Kat on erittäin hyvä opettaja!
Suomen opiskelu on hirveän hauskaa 😊😇
Mä oon kauheen onnellinen, kiitos Kat
Kiitos kauheesti! :)
What about kovin? Erittäin kiireinen, kovin kiireinen. Is there a dfference?
And super is used commonly, isn't it?
Yeah you can also use those!
Tosi hyvä, kiitos!
Kiitos! :)
Ole hyvä!
Katin toimikirjat ovat tosi, todella, erittäin, hirveen, kauheen, oikein hyvää!
Kiitos kauheen paljon 😊
What about nii/niin something, for example: "nii ihanaa"?
That's ok, but it's teenager-style language. Using it as an adult man can sound kind of gay.
hyvä kat
Kiitos 😄
What about the word "hyvin"?
Yeah that's another one! There are a few more I forgot to mention xD
Thank you for another great video!😊 By the way, this pink color suits you very well!
Haha thank you! Straight out of my sister’s closet 😉
How about "niin"?
Tää on niin hauska = This is so fun (so I'd probably translate it as "so" but the meaning is pretty much the same) or Toi kukka on niin kaunis = That flower is so pretty, Sä juokset niin nopeesti = You run so fast
Viihdyn lumessa oikein hyvin eilen mutta
tänään oppi puhua. Kiitos.
Entäs ”kovin”?
Moi 😊
That’s another one too!
How Cold can a War Get 😓
Paljon parempi!
Sikahyvä video!
Kiva, että pidit :D
What a about melko? I thought tosi = todella = melko.
Technically I guess you could use it like that. I’d maybe say it translates to “quite” since it sounds less strong than very
@@KatChatsFinnish Thank you!
mites sika ihana 😁
Tämäkin on yksi 😆
You have a enchanting smile you are just gorgeous
Been a while. You look great, K-San! 🤩👍✌
Very informative but just a translation error - in English we never say 'very fun' - no - it's always 'great fun'.
The word “very” is used to quantify an adjective or an adverb. “Fun” is a noun👍
@@PerfectBrEAThER that may be but I am English and ‘very fun’ is NEVER used. We say something is ‘very funny’ (a joke etc) but NEVER ‘very fun’ - in the context of general enjoyment we say ‘great fun’.
@@jenniferbroderick2901 “very fun” is not correct. It was an explanation of why it is not correct.
So saying "This rollercoaster is very fun" is wrongly said?

Todella seems to mean "really very".
GOOD🥰🥰🥰🥰

All this time I thought kauheen meant terribly
Well it’s similar! Kauhea is terrible so 😅
And in English you can say terribly good 😆
❤

Words kauhea(n) ja hirveä(n) mean terrible or horrible. There´s even third word that means the same thing : Kamala(n). So actually you´re saying, this food is terribly good....and so on....
