What I’ve always struggled with is how I ask for something else than a regular coffee, e.g. a cappuccino or something? The partitive confuses me quite a bit here :/ Do I still add the “-a”, to the end like “Ottaisin cappuccinoa/lattea/etc.”...?
Yes exactly, you would say "ottaisin cappuccinoa" :)
Are you a teacher by trade, it is so natural and good
I'm not, but that's really kind of you to say. Thank you so much! Kiitos :)
I remember a couple of month ago, I thought "Okey, I'll try to order in finnish". I went in the coffee shop and said "Otan maitokahvia" and the lady asked me: "vaalea vai tumma?" and I just stood there and said: "Sorry, I don't understand" XD
Could i have a glass water or tea ?what its finish translation?
@KatChats kiitos🥰
Saisinko lasin vettä/kupin teetä = Could I have a glass of water/cup of tea :)
This is the first time I understood everything in a Finnish 'dialogue"! Feels so good, I' m making progress! I would love for you to make more videos like this!! Or maybe even just a "listening skills" one, where you talk in Finnish and then translate afterwards! Anyway, thanks a lot, you are great at teaching!
That's amazing! I'm so happy for you! :D hmm that's certainly a very good suggestion, I'll make sure to write it down in my notebook and hopefully sometime in the future I'll make another one where you can practice more listening skills! :D Thanks!
💜💜💜💜
hey... why its '' ottaisin vähän sokeria, mutta ei maitoA. ''?
Milk is maito. or not? I don't understand that..
Same reason it's sokeriA, sokeri = sugar. Look up the partitive case! :)
Kiitos paljon KatChats!
So my name in suomi es : so = eli :(
kiitos paljon
Hei, Kat. Mitä kuuluu? Toivottavasti hyvin! Voinko kysyä jotakin?
Sanko käyttää "vain" sen sijaan "pelkästään"? Esimerkiksi: "Vain maitoa" vai "vain sokeria"?
Kiitos paljon auttassa. 🙏🏾
Heippa!
+Vinícius Cerqueira Bonifácio Joo voit ! :) Ja kiitos minulle kuuluu hyvää!
I always get very nervous when I am at the checkout at grocery stores...and was wondering if you could do something similar like this for that please🙂🙏I leave for Finland very soon and would like help
I'm finishing my undergrad degree in less than a week so will do one soon, although I might be a bit late for your trip! D:
Perfectus.
I really appreciate your videos, Katja! I find them very instructive, and you almost make learning Finnish seem easy! But I was wondering if you could add another element to your lessons that would help vegans and vegetarians to survive in Finland? For example, how would a vegan ask for a plant-based milk in their coffee? Or how would they make it clear that they don't want any animal products? Also, how could someone communicate to their server if they have an allergy to a particular food (e.g., wheat or corn)? Thanks in advance!
That's a really good idea! I actually use soy milk myself too haha! I'll make sure to put that on my to-do list for future videos! :D
Finns use to shorten or simplify words in puhekieli (spoken language) to make the speaking faster. So, minä - mä, sinä - sä, hän - se, but: me - me, te- te, he- he. So plural forms - we, you, they - are short enough and need no shortening. E.g. I want = minä haluan - mä haluun, sinä haluat - sä haluut, hän haluaa - se haluu, me haluamme - me halutaan, te haluatte - te haluutte, he haluavat - ne haluu.
Kat is an excellent teacher and knows Finnish amazingly well.
Voi kiitos.olet paras opettaja koska näin
so brilliant as always, perfect way to teach realy, if you want to learn some spanish just ask me, kiitos kaunis
What if you're ordering two coffees and you want to say "in the first one a little milk and in the second one cream and sugar"?
Kiitos
Something like "Ekaan vähän maitoa ja toiseen kermaa ja sokeria"
Kiitos
Graciais
Ayouz
Merci
Chokran
Kiitos
Thank you
minun sisko kiiti
It's so unfortunate that finnish isn't taught in schools (in England) as widely as German or french. Even if not a lot of people choose to learn it, I wish I'd at least been given the option cuz it really is a beautifully complicated language
Kiitos paljon 👍❤⚘
you explain soooo well, I love it!!!! keep on been so well explanatory
Kiitoksia Paljon
I"m about to travel to Finland for the first time , I like your video because it will help me to express myself a little bit
Aww well I hope you enjoy your trip! :)
Could you use vain instead of pelkästään? It seems much easier to use vain but idk if there's a grammar rule or something.
Yes you can :)
Your videos are extremely helpful!
Keep up the good work!
Thank you :)
Hello, today I ordered coffee but at end she asked me something which i didn’t understand then she told me in english it was : you will have it here or take away. Could you please tell me how to you say it in finnish?
There's a few ways one could say that eg. Juotko täällä vai otatko mukaan? - Will you drink here or take it with you?
Thank you
Thank YOU!
İt was realy very Helpfull , thank you , but i think more video for learn , please dont stop :) moi moi
I'm studying in Finland as an exchange student, and this helps me a lot. I want to use Finnish as much as I can. Kiitos Pljon!
Aww thank you, I'm so glad you found this useful. I hope you're enjoying your exchange :)
saisinko Kuppin tee?kittos.
Saisinko kupin teetä? Kiitos.
I'm like the only person in my social circle who doesn't drink coffee. Yet learning how to order it is really fun. At 2 AM.
+Filip Kopecký hahah glad you liked the video :p
Big kiitos for these lesson ... It need to practice too much
Damn, there are so many versions of it, I'm totally lost and confused
Kahvia please!
Mita 'how do I sit' tilata
“Ei sunkka sul sattusis tulitikui olema?”
How to really order coffee in Finland. Just say Kahvi. Nothing else.
@( Έρις ) Maybe in a fancy place, but everybody means regular filter coffee when they say coffee
don't they have different types of coffee?
+Skege1000 You've got the hang of it xD
Good Video 😄✌️ Thanx!
+Not Here Kiitos!
Also I'd like to learn (don't get mad) how to woo a woman in Finnish. Etsin vaimoa
Why is it maitoa TAI sokeria? I would have thought because it's a question it would be maitoa VAI sokeria. Kiitti
If you ask "otatko maitoa vai sokeria", that implies that you can only have one of them, which seems silly, doesn't it?
otatko maitoa vai kermaa, (do you take milk or cream) could work when you have two options for one thing but if you can use both options or one or none then it is better to use tai
+Jake Riccio To my ears tai is you can choose either or both kinda like and/or whereas vai is either or so you choose ONLY milk OR sugar but not both. But really it's not that strict I think, both should be fine it's just to my ears it sounds better using tai :)
i..like
Kah vi KAH VI Kahvi XDD
You are amazing
Kiitos !
I have been learning Finnish for two months, and your videos help me in my study.. kiitos :)
sulpiscio so we can make a team on Facebook and we can help eachother? are you angre?
I'd like more material too, kiitos.
Africanus I can help you little bit if you need more studying material. I learning Finnish for 6 mouths.
Hei Venäjältä. Kiitos videoista. Opiskelen Suomea. Ja autat paljon.
Kiitos kommentistasi! Kiva olla avuks!
It's always good learn with you @KatChats, hope my Finnish skills will be improved and I'll start learning more. Kiitos paljon!
Thank you, I'm super glad you've enjoyed my videos! I hope you can learn something more through my stuff xD
"The less you`ll talk, the more natural you`ll seem."
I like it!
I have a question I always wanted to know, what does the "-enen" double ending in many words and names signify/mean/add to the word?
Just like Kimi
NälkäiNEN, punaiNEN,
-nen is often added to make a substantive into an adjective
Kinda like hunger > hungry greed > greedy sleep > sleepy
So nälkä (hunger) > nälkäinen (hungry)
Idk if this is what you were looking for
Nälkäinen-Karhu:)
Thank you very much!
Oh you mean like the -nen in last names? Here's an article I found on it: finland.fi/life-society/surname-stories-land-of-the-nens/
Great video as always. This lesson was kinda redundant because I don't drink coffee haha.
Haha thanks for watching a bit nonetheless :P
great job and thanks for the video! I like it when you include dialogues in your videos c:
Kiitos! :)
Kiitosksii
Kiitos!
Kiitos for the video :)
Kiitos!
When I first moved to Finland my gf (now wife) always say keep it simple when speaking in Finnish so I did and the attempt of speaking Finnish everyone was nice enough to teach you more.
That's nice to hear :)
Are you okay? you look a bit pale :p
LOL I think I'm ok xD
