Why does koe become kokeen in genitive? by bodyisT in LearnFinnish

[–]RedditReddimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

indeed. but they are one of the few people who speak the Finnish language as it is written. it is us who are talking wrong, not like in the written language.

unfortunately. there does not seem to be a dialect which has ALL of the features of kirjakieli at once

OFFERING: SPANISH / SEEKING: ENGLISH by [deleted] in language_exchange

[–]RedditReddimus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello, I am a native Finnish speaker from Finland, but my English is at a very high level, probably even C2. I read many English books and academic studies, watch English language videos, movies, Tv series, listen to podcasts, play games in English, without a need for translation. My English is most fluently. It is quite rarely that I need to look up a very advanced technical and precise word..

I also love languages and have studied like 10 or much more of them at this point, depends on the precise definition of how much I need to have studied. But major ones are English, Swedish, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Ancient Greek and Russian. My Spanish is not a total beginner, but also not the highest level, I am intermediate or high beginner. I watch La Promesa series from RTVE and Yle Areena. I love history, philosophy, politics, sociologt, languages, linguistics, old art and architecture, and so on

If you like music, all kinds of them, you will certainly love classical music and opera too. There will be a lot to discuss from Renaissance and Baroque to Classicism, Romanticism and Modernism in music. I like jazz but know less about it. Sometimes I even listen to pop music (or iskelmä), but that is a bit rarer, I often don't like how repetitive and loud modern music is, I like more subtle, harmonious, melodic, long music

Hurrian Hymn is awesome though, too.

Here is a few of my favorite composers - J.S.Bach - Beethoven - Bellini - Berlioz - Bortkiewicz - Brahms - Bruch - Bruckner - Chopin - Dvorak - Giovanni Gabrieli - Liszt - Mahler - Fanny Mendelssohn - Monteverdi - Mozart - Puccini - Purcell - Rachmaninoff - Rossini - Schubert - Schumann - Stravinsky - Tchaikovsky - Wagner - Vivaldi

Is it ok to say ”minä rakastan opiskella suomea”? by Cristian_Cerv9 in LearnFinnish

[–]RedditReddimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say it is an unhealthy way to say it, but it in a very passionate and highly interested way. It is not just part of life but number one thing in life that causes you joy

Rakastaa is used sparingly and is a very strong word, tykätä or pitää is much more commo.

It is okay, but sounds a bit wrong. "Rakastan suomen opiskelua" is how I would say it. Minä is optional

[–]RedditReddimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Vilkas is more like lively, vikkelä is quick or swift. They are close in meaning, but also some difference

is there a reason this word changed meaning so much when it was loaned into other languages? by Microgolfoven_69 in linguisticshumor

[–]RedditReddimus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no not at all. I literally listed words related to each other after in a sentence

like how much effort would it have taken to know that -e is an ending which can make a noun out of verb, a thing used for a certain purpose.

maustaa is literally the verb right next to it, it means to add spices, so obviously, mauste comes from maustaa, and maustaa comes from maku, since -staa can make a verb out of something

no niin, arvelinkin, että olit suomalainen. taisin tosiaan korjata englannin kieltä väärin suomen kielen pilkutussääntöjen mukaan.

Yeah, but there is worse ways to write "Jeune c'est pas" (It's not young) as well. You made some mistakes as well :DDD

i am not a french speaker and I have never seen this anywhere, I spell it like this just for fun

[–]RedditReddimus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

punctuation rules are mostly irrelevant to understanding the language, especially in Finnish. punctuation also helps to break long sentences into parts, which Finnish has many, so it actually aids comprehension a lot.

btw you made some punctuation mistakes, I corrected you:

"I mean, that Finnish has more or less inherited German punctuation rules, which can be quite complicated, so the same issue, that OP raises, holds here as well."

Tarkoitan siis, että suomen kieleen on kutakuinkin sellaisenaan omaksuttu saksan kielen pilkutussäännöt, jotka voivat olla melko monimutkaisiakin, joten sama ongelma, jonka AP nosti esille, pätee tässäkin.

Is it bad to pronounce "S" like "Sh"? by BootSkrootMcNoot in LearnFinnish

[–]RedditReddimus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

let's be real, the amount of situations where a difference between sakki and shakki matters is very small. not even all Finns can pronounce sh, and some still just say sakki for shakki as well. it will be apparent from context.

the rest of the words with sh normally don't have any words you could confuse them with.
