One "easy" thing to very quickly make your Finnish sound much closer to a native speaker is to learn Finnish pronunciations for the ABC's. Every letter is pronounced the same way no matter the word or placement inside word. For you Y seemed to be hardest and it sounded like Finnish U, but rolling of the R and Kiitos were on point 👍
I try to find english words where they do the right sound. You can find U sound in words "Soon" or "Fool" as O. Y is truly hard because Y in english sometimes sound like J and sometimes I
"Haloo?" is if you answer a phone its like "hello, can you hear me?" saying haloo means you're expecting whoever hearing it to respond in any vocal way, can also be used outside the context of the phone but still mostly like "hello can you hear me?"
In the video the woman speaking uses common language, rather than literate, so "Yks" is actually written "Yksi", we like to drop off the last vowels for some reason. "Sun" is actually "Sinun", same as "Mun" is "Minun", but the way people speak also differs greatly on what kind of dialect they are speaking. But since everybody is taught the same literate way of speaking and writing, there is always a common language between all Finns, were they from north Lapland or Savonia. (usually they would still very well understand the dialect itself too, but some words may differ and the way of speaking the language.)
One of my favorite etymologies in Finnish is that of the word "raamattu". It's the Finnish title for the Bible. Estonian has a version of the same word, "raamat", but there it's just the word for book in general. This word originates from the ancient Greek "grammata", which means text and writing, so the connection is pretty obvious. The same word has also descendants in English: grammar, gram and gramophone. Grammar is quite clear, but gram and gramophone might be less obvious. In those times, lots of writing was done in inscription, i.e. grooves, which gramophones rely on on vinyl discs. Gram, the unit of mass, is also connected to grooves, as it used to be something along the lines of "as much stuff as fits into this standard-sized groove".
Interesting example, hadn't heard that before. All in all, I love how preserving language Finnish is - same words have been shortened and altered in other languages during centuries, but Finnish keeps almost the same way that was adopted back then.
The longest finnish word is: lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas which means airplane jet turbine engine pump mechanic officer trainee
Here is Lesson 2 : Finnish pronunciation exercises for you "Kyösti Ylermi Ylä-Köyliö" is a man's name. "Hääyöaie" means "an Intention for wedding night". "Älä yökkö möykkää, ööliä läikkyy" is translated "Night nurse don't shout loud, beer will be spilled". "Köyhä Yrjö pyrki Myrskylästä Jyväskylään yömyöhään pyörällä" which is in English " poor George (Yrjö) tried to go from Myrskylä to Jyväskylä at late night with bicycle".
"Moi" comes from lower saxony from the Hansa Traders, they still use it in there, means "beautiful" like to say "have a beautiful day" in short form, but here it's just a greeting without other meanings. The thing she is here listing all these greetings but those are not so common in all over the Finland, "moro" is like from the Manchester of Finland, Tampere, and here in Eastern Finland we use different stuff mostly. But luckily we can understand what you say, but the greeting style might also tell where you come from. And usually it's not scorned, other than in childrens' playgrounds if you move somewhere (happened to me) my dialect changed in a week.
I assume the reason for usually only ordering a drink for yourself is because until recently (2018 I think?) a customer was only allowed to buy one alcohol drink at a time, so ordering rounds was not permitted. Nowadays you can order multiple drinks at the same time.
Our "please" is that we smile and look at the person we are asking something from. Easiest way to learn Finnish is to just learn learn to pronounce the ABC's as they are written and then learn each word at it's "basic" form aka how the word would be said without being in sentence. You can have normal conversation in Finnish with Finns by using the most "basic" form of the word (basically same as leaving all the "a, the, in the, as" etc. off in English). And focus on arranging the sentence order correctly. And then learn by listening how the words change in different situations after you are comfortable with learning to speak more fluently. Example: "Minä olla uusi auto" = "I am new car". But Finns understand that you are talking about having new car (you already have new car. Not "going to have new car"). And learning the correct way to say same thing: "Minulla on uusi auto" = "I have new car". Reason why I recommend this is because you can Google "Joke about Finnish language koira" and cry in the corner. In all seriousness it's been proven to be pretty well working tactic by the immigrants who came to Finland 2015-20xx and had to learn the language fast. Many of them spoke really good Finnish after half year of living in here without really taking classes etc.
I'm from Finland and in my opinion the best Finnish word/words is kuusi palaa. I love it because it literally could mean at least six different things at the same time. Cause kuusi can be translated to six as the number or spruce and palaa can mean burning, returning or pieces. (These are rough translations but about the same meaning)
It might be a bit more than watching a few YT videos to learn a language. Since you have lived abroad several years, I assume, that you can manage with your local language. So everything can be learned. If one wants to learn a language... It helps if you actually want know more about the everyday living, people, culture etc. Good Luck! Onnea matkaan!
Your pronunciation is pretty good, but one letter that needs more practice is "y". In my experience it's usually the one that's the most difficult for many foreigners, unless they have something similar in their language. Y is a vowel in Finnish and is pronounced more or less the same way as y in Swedish, ü in German or u in French.
My experience with 'ihana' is that I love it when people call me that because it's not something you hear everyday. It always takes courage to call people that but they always take it well. I'd maybe use it with my partner and friends more because it's maybe a too deep word for strangers. (I have been called ihana by strangers too though) But otherwise everything can be 'ihana' without worrying about it too much. For people it might feel deeper. But this is just my experience. About bumping into someone I always say 'sori' which is just another word for anteeksi/anteeks. (I'm sorry) Sometimes it happens too fast and I don't say anything but nobody will get mad for not saying anything. Sometimes I even go with 'oho' and it could be translated as 'oops' and many finnish people say that too. I hear a story about a foreign person coming here and hearing someone say oho. She thought it means I'm sorry so whenever she bumped into someone she went like ''oho'' in a very polite tone with a smile on her face lol. I think it was a funny strory to tell. When we say oho it's maybe more awkward. For me when the word comes out it's always when something happens fastly and I don't have time to think about what to say. Automatic answer hahahh
Great to see you learn stuff. I find the original video kind of problematic because of dialect/spoken finnish-style learning. Like "Yks kalja" which actually should be "Yksi kalja". "Mikä sun nimi on"(which might be seen as a rude way of asking someones name because of multiple shortened words) sun=sinun, nimi=nimesi. "Mikä sinun nimesi on" is the actual phrase and more polite way of asking. That's how finnish is spoken nowadays, so can't argue with the title of the original video, but I think learning properly is the way to go to understand how conjugation of words work. Keep on learning :)
Those "sun" and "mun" (yours/mine) are regional dialects and the real way to write and say those are "sinun" and "minun". They can also be "min"/"sin" if your in South Karelia region etc.
She is teaching these things like you would say those in Helsinki, but around here those are ofc understood but would sound you are a tiktok teenager. If you travel Finland, go somewhere else. If I ever get to Britain, I won't touch London for the same reason, I'd go to Exeter first to see my friend and then travel around the countrysides in England, then see Wales and Scotland.
Finnish language is actually quite easy to learn. It's much easier than english for example. Since Finnish is pretty consistant, everything you learn can be used widely. For example, in every word pronounced, the emphasis is always in the first syllable of the word (so it is BAnana, not baNAna). For compound words the emphasis is always on the first syllable of each word the compound word is made from. There is no silent letters or letters pronounced that aren't written, and every letter of the written word is always pronounced, and every letter only has one way it ever can be pronounced. That means everything you see written you can always say, and everything you hear said you can write down. Spelling bees are obviously not a thing here, since everybody would tie for first place. There is no genders in Finnish language, so no need to think if it is supposed to be le or la, there just isn't anything like that in Finnish. There is also no articles, so no need to learn those either.
Some Finnish words easy to learn 😉 sauna = sauna plus = plus miinus = minus lasso = lasso video = video idea = idea poni = pony katti = cat baari = bar rommi = rum ralli = rally stressi = stress pommi = bomb rokki = rock (music) taksi = taxi algoritmi = algorithm tiimi = team tunneli = tunnel
Try to say those Hääyöaie: It means wedding night plan and contains a lot of vowels in a row. And Hyppytyynytyydytys, could mean, for example, the satisfaction of jumping on a soft surface.
You can just say kahvi or kalja/ olut and kiitos if you want one drink. If you want 2, it´s kaksi kahvia or kaksi kaljaa/ olutta and kiitos. And please, no compliments😅
There are also words in the Finnish language that are easy to say because they are pronounced the same way as the English word. Here are one examples. Inside the () is an English word that is closest to the correct pronunciation of the Finnish word. Naisten (Nice Ten) Finnish word mean women's
She's not teaching standard Finnish. This is a southern dialect. For example, in my dialect "what is your name" would be "mikä siun nimi on" and in standard Finnish it would be "mikä on nimesi" or "mikä sinun nimesi on" or even "mikä teidän nimenne on" if you wanted to be extra polite (say you're talking to a customer, someone significantly older, or a the president etc.). If you were to seirously study Finnish, then it's best to start with standard Finnish. Y is indeed a vowel in Finnish. All vowels can be either short (y) or long (yy).
If you wish to learn finnish to be even somewhat fluent, it's gonna take a few years and you'll have to learn a lot of slang- or dialect-specific things, for example "me" can be "mie", "mä", "mää", "minä", "meikä", or a lot of different variations. Also, some things are very very confusing and make no sense. For example "river" is "joki" and "river's" is not "jokin" or "joken" like normally, but instead it's "joen". That's just one example
I'm from Finland and never would be that rude ordering a beer in Finland. Surely Yks kalja is simple. I say Saanko yhden kaljan kiitos? That is Could I have one beer please. No reason to be impolite living in Finland. It's not Rudeland
You speak quite well, you only need a little practise on doublewovels (and Y is a wovel in finnish) so definetly go for the longer, harder works :D Just for the fun of it - in finland you will get by very nicely with "Täh = what". "Toi = that" and maybe an occasional "Noniin" or "Noh?" Mukavaa loppusyksyä vaikka paskaa se on kuitenkin!
Okey.. its not that easy.. Hi= Moi, terve, päivää, moro, moikka, tereveppä terve, mo... Yms Bye= heippa, nähää, hyvästi, moro, moikka... Yms Hi, how are you?= broo, mitö äijä? Brouski, mitä äijä duunaa? Äijä, miten hurisee? Brouskiiii miten meneeee??? (Them are like what i use😂 they are litle hard cuz you cant find them when you look some "how finland speak" book)
Try to change intonation. We usually put in in the beginning whereas you put it in the middle. For example you say "antEKsi" and and Finnish we say "ANteeksi". That difference in your speaking threw me out the most. Also about vowels. In Finnish a letter is a vowel when it continues infinitely when pronouncing it. In Finnish way of pronouncing "y" (which is different from Scottish) it can be pronounced similarly like aaaaaaaa... or oooooo.... and so yyyyyy.... Oh... I just realized that this doesn't work in English because letter pronounciation is different like "o" is pronounced "ou".
Alcohol is quite expensive in Finland, and even more expensive at the bars. You kind of have to be wealthy enough to be able to buy drinks for the whole group and get by even after that evening:)

Try to change intonation. We usually put in in the beginning whereas you put it in the middle. For example you say "antEKsi" and and Finnish we say "ANteeksi". That difference in your speaking threw me out the most.
Also about vowels. In Finnish a letter is a vowel when it continues infinitely when pronouncing it. In Finnish way of pronouncing "y" (which is different from Scottish) it can be pronounced similarly like aaaaaaaa... or oooooo.... and so yyyyyy....
Oh... I just realized that this doesn't work in English because letter pronounciation is different like "o" is pronounced "ou".
Finnish isn't hard language to learn at all. It is just very different from Germanic languages.
