- This is my first official video lesson on this channel. In this video I teach you how to conjugate verbs in the present tense. For more information about Finnish verb types please visit www.thefinnishteacher.com
Thanks Michael. You explain Finnish to a native English speaker in the most effective way. Your simple explanation of osata, voida and saada has really helped me. And the tip about not using "tarvita" in that certain way.
I think we English express ourselves in a certain way, and how we construct sentences don't necessarily translate to Finnish. I suppose what I am trying to say is that you explain these differences very well.
Thanks for your pioneering work.
Hi, Michael! Was having so much trouble with the present tense section of Duolingo and struggled to understand it. Thank you for breaking down the rules of each verb type! This was exactly what I needed! Now that I know the pattern, it will make forming the sentences a lot easier
Kiitos, I am Studying Finnish for visa purposes and I have to admit this is a life saver.
Kiitos paljon, this video was very useful. I took many notes and dont feel too overwhelmed, haha. :)
I like your approach. Your objective to find the commonality is helpful. Sort of builds confidence for beginners. Thanks!
Kiitos paljon. I understand and I will note it. I have to learn level 0-A1. Nähdään.
I really like your method to explain Finnish. I hope you will make many more videos. Thank you for your help with learning Finnish.
I enjoyed this, it took me back to learning Latin many years ago! I will plod along slowly & hopefully be able understand my daughter-in-law's family when we visit. They speak such perfect English it is embarrassing!
thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Sir, I'm studying Finnish language through online for my job in Finland, so challenging.
16:30 "vaa'alla" ("on a/the scale") would be an example of a non-compound word with 3 same vowels in a row. (The hyphen in this case denotes a 'k' deleted by consonant gradation, in whose place we put a glottal stop when pronouncing). Luckily in writing there's never more than 2 same vowels in a row without some intervening symbol - a hyphen, or a dash in case of compound words.
Thanks for the enlightening me
I’ve been a HUGE fan of your website for the longest time (I’ve had an on-off affair with Finnish for several years, I keep dropping it and coming back) and I’m so happy to see you’re doing videos! Thank you for posting!
Moika .
I hope we get to see more videos in the near futur .
Good luck 🤞
There will be more soon. I just have to find the time.
Very informative. Kiitos paljon.
Thank you for your effort to explain, very helpfull ❤
Thanks you very much, this video was a great help
Thank you so mcuh, it helps a lot!!! Looking forward to more upcoming videos! nice website btw :)
This very well explained and educative 😊
Simply, amazing!
Thanks. This is very helpful, direct and clear. My only comment is not including one example of verb like tehda where (I think, the hda all get removed...also no a-doubledot On my keyboard). You are really comfortable in discussing this. I like hearing this explained by a native english speaker.
Thanks a lot. There will be another video soon on exceptions to the rules such as olla, tehdä, nähdä, and juosta.
Thanks a lot for this! Always have trouble with verb types! Lots of info crammed in here!
Just a friendly (hopefully helpful) critique: I know you were trying to have a fluid, more discussion like video, however I found it a bit hard to stay attentive as you were effectively just talking at the camera for 25 minutes. Might be worth taking a bit more time to edit with some cuts to remove the ums and errs and the like, and maybe use some exercises or something to make it a bit more engaging for the audience? I often use song lyrics to practice stuff in Finnish, so maybe that's something that could help?
But again thanks heaps for the video! I used your website a bunch when I was living in Finland so hoping this will be just as useful!
Thanks for the feedback. I’m learning to edit as I go and the videos will become a bit “cleaner” over time, and also shorter I think.
Hope you are alright
waiting for more videos!
Wow your english sounds like native 😊❤
I think he is, and even implied being one. Whatever the case, his English is delightful and perfect. The accent sounds Australian, which is the accent I find the most beautiful 😊
I am a native Finnish enjoyer, but I find it interesting to refresh my "analytical" knowledge of the Finnish grammar and language, too.
About rolling the 'r's: that sound is usually the last one that native Finnish children, too, learn to say when growing up! Before they ace it, they usually replace the sound with 'l'. Even I vaguely remember the time when I still couldn't make that sound but was avidly trying to.
Your first example of "purra" sounded just fine to me. Personally, I like to say the long 'rr' in a less harsh-sounding manner, quite similar to how you did. I still roll the r, but maybe just with the side of my tongue. It's a feature of the dialect which you could hear in Tampere region. Especially their short 'r' is more like the Japanese counterpart, with just a very brief roll.
Are you still teaching Finnish?
I’ve been busy with my other job and general life stuff but I’m planning to get back to it and make some more videos.
