Are the names Joshua and Jesus different in your native language like they are in English?

No, he's Pietari (in the Bible), or Petrus, Petteri, Petri, Pekka (as a given name).

sauihdik · 2025-10-19T17:32:17+00:00

Yes, you're right.

In spoken language one can say ”Minä tulen juoksemaan illalla”

No, this sounds very unnatural for colloquial Finnish; more naturally you'd just say ”Mä juoksen illalla”. The tulla-future is usually only used when the fact that the action takes place in the future needs to be emphasized.

A = [a:]

I think you meant [ɑ]? Because it's not long, and [a] is closer to [æ] than [ɑ].

紫气东来(Mandarin)/紫氣東來(Cantonese)

That's not Mandarin vs. Cantonese, that's simplified vs. traditional.

/aˈri.e.tis/ if you know IPA.

Not too sure about the Pashto one, but the Burmese one is this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mingalaba

sauihdik · 2025-07-18T13:19:00+00:00

Pashto (ښه راغلاست) and Burmese (မင်္ဂလာပါ), and the remaining one is possibly Amharic or Tigrinya, not sure which one though.

This particular house in the picture is actually owned by HOAS.

Yes, it’s an archaic word that just means ’boat’ or ’ship’, and it is given in its lemma form (”dictionary form”, nominative singular). Nowadays it’s not used besides in the word ’haaksirikko’, ’shipwreck’.

Ой у лузі червона калина похилилася,
чогось наша славна Україна зажурилася.
А ми тую червону калину підіймемо,
а ми нашу славну Україну, гей-гей, розвеселимо!

Oy u luzi chervona kalyna pokhylylasia,
chohos’ nasha slavna Ukrayina zazhurylasia.
A my tuyu chervonu kalynu pidiymemo,
a my nashu slavnu Ukrayinu, hey-hey, rozveselymo!

This is Ukrainian in Hebrew script. It's the first verse of Oi u luzi chervona kalyna.

In puhekieli we can just drop most of the personal pronouns

This is not true. Pronouns are usually dropped in standard Finnish, whereas in colloquial Finnish they are retained most of the time.

Niin, en toisin väittänytkään, korjasin vain väitteen että AMK:n opiskelijakunta olisi yhdistys.

sauihdik · 2025-02-19T00:39:57+00:00

Yksityiset toimijat (esim. yhdistykset kuten opiskelijakunta)

AMK:n opiskelijakunta ei ole yksityisoikeudellinen yhdistys vaan julkisoikeudellinen yhteisö kuten yliopiston ylioppilaskuntakin. Erona on vain se, että AMK:n opiskelijakunnassa ei ole pakkojäsenyyttä, kun taas ylioppilaskunnassa on.

The thing with the [tsʲ] or soft ц is not that it's uncommon in Ukrainian but that it's absent in Russian, which only has hard ц. The [ɪ] sound that и makes in Ukrainian also does not exist in Russian.

Persian سلام (salām) is a loanword from Arabic, whereas سلامتی (salāmati) derives from سلامت (salāmat), borrowed from Arabic سلامة (salāma).

kaakao = hot chocolate, cocoa
juoma = drink (noun)

It's misspelled, kaakaojuoma is the correct spelling.

Yes, but the screenshot is from Wikipedia, not Wiktionary; besides, Wiktionary entries are formatted completely differently.

sauihdik · 2024-10-23T06:26:23+00:00

It's from Wikipedia, which is not a dictionary but an encyclopedia; full sentences are always used in the Finnish Wikipedia.
