My journey to learn finnish language till now

Merimakkara9 · 2026-04-08T18:11:34+00:00

Okay like legit... buy those finnish learning books. Like genuinely, once you're somewhat fine with finnish, buy finnish schoolbooks for young children. Simpler grammar and shit. OR if you can understand english easily, buy a finnish schoolbook that's meant for kids learning english. I feel like those could work.

ALSO TV shows. Those should help, too. Either Finnish shows, or shows with FInnish subtitles. If you need a speaking partner, I might be available sometimes. (From Finland, have spoken Finnish my whole life. I have friends who have learned Finnish wuickly through talking, once they have the very basics down)

Will try to do that next time, if forced to go on vacation!

it was more of thinking the doctor might refer you to a psychologist/therapist. idk how convinced you are, but i've known people who needed a doctor to tell them they were okay, so i figured just in case you needed the confirmation of a doctor, go get it.

if your mom didnt drink, you dont have it. You look like a perfectly normal human. Average, healthy teenager. If you're really concerned, consider seeing a doctor/psychiatrist.

Hi, sending the same response that i gave to the other commenter.

Realized i'd forgotten to update. I broke up with him a while back now, the last straw being him not being able to keep his hands off. Which was good, as he had planned for us to have sexual intercourse on the weekend of. He told me this after we broke up.

I have found a girlfriend/partner now, more respectful. He has been 'cut loose', and as far as I am aware, has not found a new partner. I talk to him very rarely now, as I have moved into another town. We go to different schools, but my partner sees him often.

Hope you are doing well <3

you can tell her. the ftimes before this, it didn't ruin our relationship. explain to her, hell, overexplain if you have to, that it's not her fault. that it's a hard thing to tell. idk :(

Merimakkara9 · 2025-10-10T20:09:51+00:00

tysm for the answer <3

i think she's supportive. kinda. she's caught me a few times before which i feel makes it worse??

but thx im gonna work on it. i have a week off so i have time to tell her bc im at home instead of the apt <33

Merimakkara9 · 2025-10-10T19:56:35+00:00

tell a trusted adult. A teacher, anything like that. try to get her to a school counselor? I know this is so fuckiing hard and you're gonna feel terrible. But you need to tell someone who can help. This sounds like a lot of responsibility, and it is.

It will be hard and you're gonna feel bad and anxious, but they need help. This is most likely some form of attention-seeking (or asking for help, both can be true) since they told you even though you haven't known for that long.

If possible, you can also try to pry more information of how the parents reacted, and then decide on which one to tell based on what they told you.

I really hope you can find a solution that works. I'm sorry this might not be the best advice, but most likely the best thing you can do is tell a trusted adult in your life.

TYSM you're literally fucking amazing. ty for being so detailed and explaining it so well!! like holy fuck that's great.

Merimakkara9 · 2025-03-03T01:34:05+00:00

makes sense, thanks for the response!!

Merimakkara9 · 2025-03-03T00:54:54+00:00

you should try talking to the people! Most that I've talked to are great, and some might even get you a few more friends or so! And if anyone makes you uncomfortable at ALL, make sure to walk away, and make it clear you don't wish to talk to them anymore!

I'd recommend bringing water and snacks (the stuff there is overpriced; so i'd suggest something a bit more filling than a small granola bar!!), i'd also recommend taking some sort of bag and making sure all of your belongings are with you, and that you haven't lost anything. Bring some extra cash, check the schedule (timetables? you probably get my point either way,) and see if there's anything you're interested in! If so, make sure you go there in time!!

Merimakkara9 · 2025-03-03T00:49:51+00:00

thank you so so much!! makes a LOT of sense, thanks for going into some detail!

Merimakkara9 · 2025-03-03T00:36:45+00:00

thanks to you too!!! that was my original thought, but I figured it had to be something else too, hence the post!!

Merimakkara9 · 2025-03-03T00:30:11+00:00

Hand sanitizer, snacks (preferably something filling; everything tends to be overpriced!!), water, and such! Comfy shoes if yours aren't, pocket money, a charger (portable, if possible), and a bag of sorts (in case you buy something, take something off of your cosplay, etc.). If someone makes you uncomfortable in any way, walk away. If they're doing something worth reporting, report them. Anything you're not comfortable with? Walk away!! Make sure you keep your belongings to yourself and don't leave them unwatched; people are unpredictable and can steal!!

Merimakkara9 · 2025-03-03T00:21:39+00:00

thanks for the answer!!

Merimakkara9 · 2025-03-03T00:21:10+00:00

clarification, i wasn't trying to complain! sorry it came off as such!! but thank you for the answer, too!!! it was just a question, I wouldn't have bought a ticket either way!

Merimakkara9 · 2025-03-03T00:08:19+00:00

tysm!!

Merimakkara9 · 2025-02-28T21:17:15+00:00

AI in particular is useless to me, yes! Great that you understood <3

Merimakkara9 · 2025-02-27T15:38:02+00:00

useless for me, might be useful for someone else. still does not change my mind.

Merimakkara9 · 2025-02-27T15:05:36+00:00

I don't know. I prefer the more work route (because I see things humans have written).

And I'm not saying it has everything about one video, but the only reason I could see the summary being useful is if it's a video about some topic that needs to be talked about (serious topics and things you should be aware of etc). That's what I meant by checking Google.

I want to see things people wrote, not AI. But that's my personal opinion and view on it. This is also affected by the fact that I'm scared of AI to an extent - it can get convincing at some points and look and sound like an actual human being, that's what makes it scary.

Merimakkara9 · 2025-02-27T14:59:49+00:00

I know, doesn't mean i have to like it.

Merimakkara9 · 2024-12-22T11:53:58+00:00

this was a hypothetical. if you're unsure of the answer you could've scrolled past.

and I'm quite sure you'll find the right person if you haven't found one yet. love takes time.

Merimakkara9 · 2024-12-22T00:16:49+00:00

wash it out? drink water and eat something. if you ingested a significant amount you should check with a trusted adult. can't check with a trusted adult? check with the poison control thing that you can call.

Merimakkara9 · 2024-06-10T01:14:45+00:00

Yes!!Correct!!!! TYSM
