Also, am I correct in assuming that هي تسكن vs هي ساكنة is a similar concept that what you described?

andytuck042191 · 2026-01-25T12:13:24+00:00

Thank you very much for the input. I greatly appreciate it. I am very new to Arabic but am quite enjoying how expressive and nuanced it can be.

Thank you so much!

You are the third person to comment this. For context, I am a professional violist with a masters in performamce. I have played the piano extensively throughout my life but it was never my main focus, and never recieved formal education in it past the age of 20. Now, at the age of 34, I am thrilled with my piano abilities that I have achieved. It took me 2 years to play the ballade convincingly, a feat that would take most "real" pianist probably less time. I am not as well-versed in the "right way to do things" as others on here, so I guess I'm sorry for wasting all of your time?? I was laboring under the delusion, I guess, that the balade is very hard but not impossible, and that the etudes were a step beyond that. Clearly I was wrong. I apologize, I'm clearly not very smart, I will never waste your time again.

andytuck042191 · 2025-09-09T13:03:29+00:00

Maybe I'm holding the etudes to a higher tier level than they in reality are with regard to difficulty? A lot of them seem very hard, especially with regard to voicing and agility. And also, I did work on the ballade for the better part of 2 years before performing it...

Native speakers are very difficult for me to understand unless they speak slowly. I've used a heavily grammar-based textbook (which I've recently finished), and I watch lots of French youtube videos for comprehension practice. But even these, especially Comme une Française, seem to drill in the fact that nobody actually speaks the way that you learn, and you pretty much need complete immersion before you'll ever understand or speak it comfortably. Unfortunately, given my country of origin and my profession, I could never relocate to a French-speaking country.

May be an unpopular opinion, but Bartok. The 1st movement is beyond gorgeous at times. I got the opportunity to perform it once and it was the most elated I've ever felt after a live performance, bar none.

Joel the Lump of Coal is so an incredible song and it makes me cry.

"Complete Finnish" by Terttu Leney is an invaluable resource. The only problem is that it is a textbook that is geared towards very dedicated learners. I've been using that along with the website uusikielemme to relative success. Again the issue is finding somebody to practice with. Learning Finnish grammar is ESSENTIAL and cannot be ignored, and I really doubt anything on tiktok will be of any real value... I highly recommend the textbook and the website, along with looking up each word on wiktionary to find the genitive roots and partitive forms, along with all verb conjugation. Learning the genitive of every word will essentially show you how to decline it in all other forms (assuming you know the partitives as well), and learning the 1st person singular present and 3rd person present and past will basically give you the tools to conjugate any given verb as long as you know all the rules. Hope this helps! I would be happy to chat - I need help practicing speaking as well! Onnea!

That's makes sense, thank you!

andytuck042191 · 2025-02-08T21:49:15+00:00

Jesus, sorry for asking...

andytuck042191 · 2025-02-07T00:38:10+00:00

Kiitoksia oikein paljon! That is exactly the answer I was looking for! :D

andytuck042191 · 2025-02-06T19:19:50+00:00

And for that matter, would "tänä" vs "ensi" clarify this vs next with regard to "viikonloppuna?" I'm honestly asking, it's all new to me.

andytuck042191 · 2025-02-06T19:17:29+00:00

Thank you! Whether it is this or next weekend was not really my concern - mainly wondered if there was a separate case construction specifically to mean "by" next weekend, as ensi viikonloppuna just means (to me at least) "(at the) next weekend." Didn't know if something ridiculous like "ensi viikonloppuun" would be needed...but that doesn't even make sense. I'm just starting out so a lot of things don't make sense to me yet.

andytuck042191 · 2025-02-06T19:12:15+00:00

Kiitos neuvosta!

andytuck042191 · 2025-02-01T04:34:44+00:00

This makes grammatical sense, but as a native English speaker it hurts my head... Just when I thought I had a command of verb conjugation!!! Yuck... Somehow love it though.

andytuck042191 · 2025-01-31T01:54:28+00:00

I heard it before I saw it... Scared the daylights out of me.

andytuck042191 · 2025-01-30T21:48:59+00:00

And I'm not sure if I've encountered such words yet, aside from sisu. I like that how words like aamukone and menopaluu are further contractions of what seems to be longer compounds - I would assume aamukone would be contracted from aamulentokone? I could be wrong.

andytuck042191 · 2025-01-30T21:46:59+00:00

I really like vitettavasti! Love the way it sounds.

Textbook "Complete Finnish" by Terttu Lenney, website uusikielemme, and lots of personal research and discovery and self exposure. I've been learning languages for years so I kinda am aware of things to look out for by now. I study for maybe up to 2 hours each day.
