  • In this video I jump into worddive (not sponsored) and we find out whether I can speak (one of the) hardest languages in the world! Of course I'm talking about Finnish.

    if you are speaking finnish language it’s ”suomi” , but if you mean Finland as a country it’s ”Suomi”

      @D0MiN0ChAn Před 4 lety +51

      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?

    • @JasminMiettunen
      @JasminMiettunen Před 4 lety +162

      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.

    • @JasminMiettunen
      @JasminMiettunen Před 4 lety +102

      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.

      @sammyk3024 Před 4 lety +122

      This is why google translating everyday language works so poorly. "Vaan" means "just (a little bit)" and "istua" means to sit. But when you say "istu vaan" the "vaan" becomes a way to make it a polite suggestion. "Istu vaan" in that context should be translated to "sure, you may sit there" or more realistically just "sure." If you only said "istu" it would become as rude as saying "just sit there."

      @@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.

      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.

    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.

      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.

    I liked this so much! Would love it if you could get together with someone who speaks Finish and can explain you the grammar whenever you're lost. Maybe ask your mum even ^^

    vesi means water, vettä is used when you say something like i drink water: minä juon vettä or look, there’s water: katso, tuolla on vettä

    • @-Mohog
      @-Mohog Před 4 lety +3

      @@TheRawrnstuff That is not correct. "Vettä" is not "of water". That "of" particle comes from the way English language works. "A glass of water" is directly translated "lasi vedestä", or more correctly "lasillinen vedestä"; "of water" = "vedestä" where particle "of" means "jostakin". Explaining shortly in Finnish: Lasi on siis täytetty vedestä (vedellä), täten siis "lasi vettä". "Vettä" is just "water" in English. If you say, for example "tuo on vettä", you don't say "that is of water", you say "that is water". So you can't say on its own "of water" to mean "vettä", "of water" can only mean "vedestä".

      I once freaked my Finnish teacher out when I told her I don’t really remember all the rules for when to put commas but just do what I feel like is correct. Apparently she thought I could not do that. I definitely can and still do and make very little mistakes if any.
      Often applies to other stuff too. I just say what feels right when I’m not at all confident that it’s actually correct.
