how you die in Finnish

you sleep away (nukkua pois)

you go forward (mennä edes; "edesmennyt")

you go away (mennä pois; "poismennyt")

and also...

you change your diocese (vaihtaa hiippakuntaa)

you throw a crank (heittää veivi)

you kick emptiness (potkaista tyhjää)

you enter the underworld (mennä manalle)

you join the upstairs orchestra (liittyä yläkerran orkesteriin)

#tw death #Finnish #learning finnish #i've talking about funeral customs with students so that's why i'm writing this list

Not studied Finnish yet? This is your sign!

Here are the absolute basics of the language in an even tighter package compared to my earlier posts. Maybe someone new will take interest in the language from these posts!

To my existing followers, are these kinds of posts good for you? Could my normal posts be in this format sometimes too?

I'm a big fan of getting better at a language you're studying, consuming a lot of listening content like podcasts and videos, and going from hearing a blurred static in your head when the language and words don't make sense and sound so unfamiliar, to slowly recognizing words here and there, and then eventually realizing you're following the entire conversation and you can understand everything they're saying...

The Finn just announced that we'd handle some things "one potato at a time".

Another idiom she has seamlessly translated from Finnish into English that's completely wonderful.

Finnish friends, I've got a question.

Is the word kieli (language) exactly the same as the word kieli (string) as in Viulunkieli? Do I just understand which is which from context?

Every time Duolingo review shows me this sentence, I assume the “outo monumentti” refers to the Käärijä mural in Vantaa.

How much is a lot in Finnish

a pig amount (sikana)

a cunt amount (vitusti)

a hell amount (helvetisti)

more than a hundred rabbits (enemmän kuin sata jänistä)

enough to feed the horses (vaikka hevoset söis)

not just a little (ei aivan vähän)

--

also: "not enough"

herring isn't a big enough fish for Christmas dinner (pieniä on silakat joulukaloiksi)

i think it's interesting how in english there are only the words "male" and "female", but in finnish there are many different words based on which animals they are:

🧍human male and female: mies(puolinen) ja nainen/naispuolinen

🐵mammal animal male and female: uros ja naaras

🐴horse male and female: ori ja tamma

🐶dog male and female: uros ja narttu

🐱cat male and female: kolli ja natu

🥚bird/fish (and other non-mammals) male and female: koiras ja naaras

#my post #genders #animals #finnish language #language #interesting #male #female #male and female #learning finnish #horse #dog #cat #uhh... anyone who's learning finnish... good luck :'D #yes narttu is also used in the same context in finnish as bitch is used in english #however it's not as common
