Thank you so much for your comment! It means a lot. I haven't got many comments on the podcast episodes so I don't know if people find them useful. Glad you did! 🙂

I have free content here on RUclips, my website and blog is at finkingcap.com/, and I have a beginner course inside the membership for Finnish learners: finkingcapclub.com/ Make sure you grow your vocabulary right from the start, using an app on your phone (Anki is great for memorizing and building your own sets) and if you can and if you like it, take notes by hand. Turn on the Finnish radio or TV wherever you are. Yle Areena has Kielikoulu, which is designed to help you consume the Yle content: kielikoulu.yle.fi/

Spoken language is WILD!

I believe you're talking about the following example sentences: "Minä menin nukkumaan aikaisin" (I went to sleep early) and "Minä lähdin ajoissa" (I left on time). You can use both words in either of those sentences, but there's usually a difference: "aikaisin" is more likely to mean "early" that just simply means whatever is early to the speaker. For example, if I say "minä lähdin aikaisin" could mean that I started my journey at a time that, to me, feels early. Leaving my house at 5am is early. But if I say "minä lähdin ajoissa", I refer to leaving at a time that leaves me plenty of time to make the trip and not be late for something, like work. So ajoissa (on time) is usually tied to some kind of a schedule that needs to be followed. It's different from aikaisin (early), which I guess can be more subjective: Hän oppi lukemaan aikaisin (she learned to read early). That's it in a nutshell, let me know if you have more questions!

@@learnfinnishwithfinkingcap thanks for the explanation. Let's say my school or job starts at 9am and I got to school/job at 8am or anything earlier than 9am. Can I say, tulin kouluun/töihin ajoissa or tulin kouluun/töihin aikaisin? Or are they both correct?. Another instance: let's say my appointment is today at 10am and I am texting the person with whom I have the appointment at 9am or any time earlier than 10am to inform him/her that I can't make it to the appointment. Do say anteeksi että ilmoittanut aikaisin or anteeksi en ilmoittanut ajoissa? like i could have notified him/her yesterday or even days befor

They're both correct. Tulin ajoissa basically can carry the meaning "I was not late for work", and tulin aikaisin just means you got there relatively early, not so much emphasizing that you didn't miss a deadline. Those words can be a little blurry depending on who's speaking, but if you go by those principles you should be fine. Ajoissa = "not late", whereas aikaisin can't mean that. Here's another useful expression with aikaisin: liian aikaisin = too early Älä soita minulle liian aikaisin! = Don't call me too early!

@@learnfinnishwithfinkingcap could you check the comment again, I just edited it. I added another scrnerio

Pöydässä is more in the context of "the table is set", like it's about the whole idea of a meal set on the table. Also, if you're a waiter talking about a customer at table number 5, you'd say something like "hän istuu pöydässä viisi" ("He's sitting AT table number five"). And if you were to describe the exact location of something, you'd be more likely to use "pöydällä" - for example "Kissa on pöydällä." Thanks for asking this, I've been waiting for someone to ask this very question! :)
