if you are speaking finnish language it’s ”suomi” , but if you mean Finland as a country it’s ”Suomi”
So is this the only time upper- and lowercase are used respectively in Finnish (when talking about country/language)? Or are there different instances as well?
D0MiN0 names are written with a capital, including peoples names, continents, countries, cities, streets. While languages and nationalities are not capitalised. Mostly, proper nouns are capitalised, verbs and adjectives are mot. So if you live in Suomi, you are suomalainen and hopefully speak suomea. It only matters in language classes, though.
Jasmin Miettunen so like in english? is it used in titles, too? like for movies, books, etcs
BringMe EggRolls yeah, except if it has multiple words in the title. Because in English you have some arbitrary rules where you can Capitalise Every Word, except some words like articles and prepositions??? Like “The Fault in Our Stars”, while in Finnish you just capitalise the first letter of the book name, like “Tähtiin kirjoitettu virhe”, same book, different language.
Jasmin Miettunen huh! neat, thank u

You can kinda hear his Finnish heritage in his accent
True!!! I was going to say the same, but I came to look at the comments hoping that someone else had heard it too - didn't get dissapointed😂
Well he is Finnish so he has a Finnish accent, no matter what language you speak your accent will be from the country your parents are from, no idea what accent you have if your parents are from completely different countries
@@sanchu6335 not necessarily. I know a Bulgarian who speaks German without any accent because she went to kindergarten in Germany (like actual Kindergarten between the ages of 1/3/4 and six). I also know a girl with a Japanese father and a slavic mother (I don't remember the country anymore) who speak Italian amongst each other because they're both fluent. The kids speak German (from school education), Japanese and the mother's language, all without an accent, and they have basic knowledge of Italian. So basically what I'm saying is, young children have an amazing ear for languages, and if you let them spend enough time with different native speakers, they will easily be able to learn any of them on a native speaker level.
I should add though: people who are bi- oder multilingual usually lose a bit in either one or all of them. Not the accent, but the feeling for the language. Usually you notice that one of them really is their first language, and they're missing words or using weird ones in the other(s). In both girls' cases, German was most obviously the first language, and while an accent could not be heard in the others even by native speakers, after a little time, they would have noticed.
Same goes for Swedish-speaking people in Finland, by the way. Most of them learn finnish only through school education, but later often sound like native speakers with the exception of a few weird words and phrases they might use.
No joo
Sanchu that’s not how it works... accent isn’t a genetic thing
"wait, what's the difference between vesi and vettä?" oh, that's where the "hardest language" -part comes into play

Juuuh
Estonian cognate to “istu vaan/vain” would be “istu vaid”. Only that “istu vaid” sounds actually like a threat: just sit and you’ll see what happens.
So Finns, you’d better not use “istu vain” in Estonia 😁
Or in a rare case, we’ll think your saying “istuvaid” (partitive of ‘the sitting ones’) and be like meh
Ayyy someone who understands estonian
I'm Dutch and "istu van" will probably be replied to with a bunch of question marks.
The closest words we have are "is toeval"
Which means "happens to be"
I'm not good at finnish too😢
If someone asks you "can I sit here?" You just answer yes or no. No smalltalking
Nope. You say nothing. Just glare and that is enough. Do not invade my personal space. :)
Aa ite sanon silleen että Hei vain, hauska tavata, istu vaan siihen, minun puolestani saat istua siihen, joten olkaa hyvä ja istuutukaa arvon tuntematon ihminen, ei kestä kiittää.
You can absolutely drop the personal pronouns out of the sentence and be understood in Finnish. For example, you can say "Sinä olet seuraava." and "Olet seuraava.", both are correct. With the pronoun "sinä" it might sound a bit more official, I think? And in the spoken language people do drop the pronomine suffixes out on substantives, which I sometimes feel is a pity. Our language is slowly going towards no suffixes.
Itehän henkilökohtaisesti suosisin lausetta "sä oot seuraava"
@@TheSanni1997 samoin, puhekielessä :)
The easiest rule of thumb in my opinion is that you can forget the "extra" pronouns when you're referring to yourself or someone you're with (I/we/you). Otherwise talking about someone who's not present you'd have to use the pronoun for them (him/her).
For example:
Minä olen kotona. - I am home.
Olen kotona. - I am home.
vs.
He ovat kotona. - They are home.
Ovat kotona - Are home
@@jenskuboi that's a good rule, never thought of it!
Use rather "minä" and "sinä", because some people find "mä" and "sä" irritating, most certainly not music to their ears.

The only Finnish you need to know is "no niin" and variations of it. I'm Finnish and I don't understand how any of the grammar works. It's like they're making shit up as they go.
Well then...
I’m finnish. This is very true..
Can i just say im a finn and when i was younger i was always like
"Finnish is the easiest because you spell things how you say it"
Now i have realized how hard it acually is
Well that's true, my worst grades in schools were finnish grammar (and swedish). The grammar goes so apeshit that I've got no clue how it was ever even developed :D
Awesome, friend ! I'm re-learning it also. I spoke it as a little child, but didn't use it much in Canada, so Finnish became rusty to me. I am going to learn it again, bit by bit.

p.s. My mother was from Finland. Finland is one of the happiest, sanest, and most productive countries in the world with an almost 100% literacy rate.
p.p.s. My great grandfather moved to 'Peltomaa', a farm near Parkano, so he had to change his name to the name of the farm !! Thank goodness that they don't have to do that anymore. Would you imagine changing your last name each time you moved ??!!

Your pronunciation is super good, I was very impressed about how much you knew
I can see this turning into a series, where the ending is you switching over to being a finnish youtuber (which I really don't want, but I also want to see this series.. hmm..)
Never seen your videos, but you are really good in basic Finnish. One thing, that is easy in Finnish language, is that there are no silent letters, so every single-one of the letters are always pronounced.
It goes like this:
Minä olen
Sinä olet
Hän on
Me olemme
Te olette
He ovat
SYLVIN PÖLÖMÖLÖ tämä tuo se nämä nuo ne
kuka mikä kumpi ken joku joka jokainen kuin kunnes
...ollaan
Minä sinä hän me te he
same as irish (Gaeilge)
I think it’s funny how in Finland we rarely use ”hän” in spoken language but instead we use ”se” which means ”it”. At least where I’m from.
The only people who really use "hän" are people from the southwest in my experience.
When I was kid I hated it when someone said 'it' instead of 'himr' but now I often do it too. To make matters worse I refer to my cat as 'him' 😂😂
I'm here to just know which is the hardest language.
*And it's my native language.*
It's actually not hardest, it just don't have simillar language, like magyar
Hard languages for "western" people are for example Slovak, Czech or as mentioned before Magyar, because of their hard grammar

”Istu vaan” is used as a casual ”go ahead!”
When you talked about the 'me' 'olemme' thing, it was just like they teach it for us in Finnish school.
In the last question suomi is correct because it's referring to the Finnish language, a common noun. With a capital S the word Suomi refers to the nation, proper noun. So it's pretty much the same grammar rule as in english. Now that we've established a pretty simple grammar rule we can go deeper! In the Finnish language we also capitalise proper names just like in the English language. Weekdays, like Monday, Tuesday etc., are proper names but they are not capitalised in Finnish grammar. There are a few other examples and you just need know them to get them correct.
"Joinen" is such a Finnish name because of the nen. I knew it >:)
It helps that I'm Finnish with a finnish last name too lol
"me olemme jo jonossa" is how you write it and it's correct but I would say "me ollaa jo jonos" I don't know where that comes from but it's the same sentence but with an accent.

I’ve been to finland with my parents when I was 14, in Kemi, and my mom for whatever reason tried to „speak“ finnish...well I was obsessed with a finnish metal band back then so I knew some words and told her that thank you is kiitos but somehow she couldn’t remember correctly and when she wanted to thank the cashier when we were shopping she said something that sounded kinda like „kyyttö“
well the cashier looks at my mom with the funniest face ever.
so I wanted to know if my mom actually said a real word or just some jobberish but what she said kinda sounded like „kyyttö“ and apparently that is a word to describe a specific fur pattern in finnish cows...oddly specific and it still cracks me up more than it should 🤣
I don't think average finn knows what kyyttö means, at least I don't but if someone said that to me if I were the cashier I would think he's drunk depending if he sounds like a finn or a foreigner. Also, kyyttö reminds me of kyykky or kyykkää/kyykätä, if you want to look those up.
There’s actually some really crazy languages out there. There’s one that just clicking sounds, a _very_ small amount of people speak it though. Good Mythical Morning has a video on some of the strangest ones! There was another one that had a very limited number of sounds/letters (I don’t quite remember all of the details).
Québecois also does that "pronouns mentioned twice in a sentence" thing too.
Tu tes-tu fait mal? = You have you hurt yourself?
Why?
No idea.
Hitomi Melonade oof yes
Actually he was 100% correct about the extra pronounces being unnecessary.
"Menemme" is exactly the same as "me menemme" and equally as correct.
Finnish people be like after the video: heikot kuolee.

In Finland: koira koirat koiran koiralle koirat koirien koiranne koiramme koirannehan koirannekin....

Postpositions, right?
Approximate translation: dog, dogs, dog's, to/for dog, [repeated dogs], dogs', your dog's, our dog's, [this one I don't know how to translate without context!], your dog as well (?).
As you might guess the list goes on, but the point is that Finnish doesn't have prepositions like at/for/to and they are connected to the word. And yeah, it kinda sucks for language learners. I'm happy to be a native Finn and the correct forms just come to me naturally without thinking.

It’s funny, because that is literary language and no one is not speaking that in Finland. Everyone use dialects. we are = me olemme and with dialects = me ollaan or myö ollaan. (I use that second one)
To be honest it's pretty much the same everywhere. Very rare languages are the same when the literary language is compared to spoken one.
@@krakenbutt True
The Finnish used on the lessons is very formal. Whenever you say you could just drop this or this word, you're in fact correct: You can, and it'll still be grammatically correct. For example:
"Me olemme jonossa" can be shortened to "olemme jonossa." And exactly for the reason you guessed.
To make things slightly more confusing: There are several forms of Finnish. Standard Finnish is used in formal occasions, but rarely in spoken form. Whereas spoken forms are typically not used to write stuff. Then there are dialects etc. There are exceptions to this, but it usually looks / sounds weird if you write informal and speak formal.
The way you feel about Finnish is exactly how I feel about Japanese. I learnt it as an exchange student, so I have no formal education on grammar and shit, so I just say what kinda sounds right.
The grammar rules are INSANE! I remember back in school learning äidinkieli (finnish grammar) and it was super complicated. Not sure that even linquists have the full grasp of that
8:48 that 'istu vaan' is the right response for the question can i sit there
The word 'Istu vaan' means like 'yes you can'
In from finland that's why i know theese things
10:21 you sound like pewdiepie. Am i the only one who thinks so :D
I have to say that for being a beginner level Finnish speaker you really have extremely good pronunciation - stressing the first syllable makes all the difference. For example, when you say "pieni kuppi" in 6:20 it actually sounds like a native speaker.
"like jos oot suomalainen" olkaa hiljaa jo
It is really hard because in english I say dog and dogs and then there is words that you have to add, but it’s more simple because you can youse them with every word, but here there is koira=dog, koiran=dog has, koirat=dogs, koirilla=multiple dogs have, koirille=for dogs and there is a bunch of ways you can stretch a word that’s why when some one wants coffee they often say voinko minä Saada kahvi but you should say voinko minä saada kahvia.
