Wow, I don't think I know any fellow Americans of any Scandinavian descent. I don't know any Finnish, but I thought this thread was cool anyway. I speak a little Norwegian, though. COB=

From the edge of the land she looked at the falling star
Now the beautiful face of the maiden is covered by the rough land
Everyone must look at the eyes of the truth
because time is victorious but this land is forever

And "Lord" is "Lordi"

thank you

I've got another question

In English we got the future tense but in Finnish what is the tense,
If i want to say exemple : I will come to your house...

I have this website, http://www.verbix.com/languages/finnish.shtml

But I don't understand like the Potential tense and other stuff like this (Maybe the real english people knows it but i'm french so)

Or maybe it is just a word we put before like "will"

???????????

Miellyttää, ja Kiitos :Spin:

 

[Midnightblueshade]

Finnish has no future tense, the Finns use present tense when talking about the future.

Tulen talollesi. = I come to your house.
Tulen talollesi huomenna. = I will come to your house tomorrow.

I assume potential is a mode which expresses smth has the potential to do smth. Don't know for sure though. Which others don't you know? I can try to explain as good as I know.

 

[Hate_Crew]

Kiitos

Ok, on the site a told you, there is the Nominal Forms collums,And all the things like Infinitive Inessive,Elative,Illative etc, I don't understand. But, if it is not thing that we use currently in a conversation it's not bad if you don't explain them to me I'm learning finnish for fun but i'm the only one that want to learn it in everyone i know so...
I don't want to go in the big details of this language for the moment

And the verb To Come is tulla right?? So i found on a site that the verb To Become was also Tulla, Is that true????

Kiitos

 

[Midnightblueshade]

So am I, learning Finnish for fun, and I had to search really hard to find other learners of Finnish. Luckily I found a Finnish class
I really want to go into the big details, therefore it really bugs me that we haven't learned those nominal forms yet, so I know only very little about it. "Nominal form" means a verb is turned into a noun. In English this is done by using the gerund, so I guess as a rule of thumb you can translate it using the -ing form.

-minen, -mista is used when talking about an activity:
tulla --> tuleminen
Tuleminen on hauska. = Coming is fun.
... or the second coming of Christ:
He kaipaavat toista tulemista. = They await the second coming.

Here's an example for the nominal form ending in -en:
...hän piti niistä, sanoen että...
...she liked them, saying that...

And the verb To Come is tulla right?? So i found on a site that the verb To Become was also Tulla, Is that true????

Yep, that's right, tulla means "to come" as well as "to be-come".
When meaning "to become", "tulla" used with translative (ending in -ksi)
Roope tuli Bodomin kitaristiksi. = Roope became Bodom's guitarist.

 

[Hrafn]

Thought I should post some finnish words that I fucking worship

I'm gay and i like it when someone fucks me in the ass = minä olen homo ja pidän siitä että minua nussitaan perseeseen
donkey shit = aasin paska
hooker = huora
guitarist = kitaran soittaja
ukkeli / vanhus = oldie
old woman = mumo
grandma = isoäita
testicles = kivekset
balls = pallit
suck my balls hooker = ime mun palleja huora
fag = hintti
I am king = minä olen kuningas
foreigner = ulkomaalainen
ass = perse
tissit = boobs
perkele = satan devil
dick = molo, muna, kalu, pippeli, jortikka, jorma

Kiitos Midnightblueshade

I will try to make my way on this

 

[psycho88]

sorry if this has been asked before, but what does "saatanaako oootat?" mean?

 

[Midnightblueshade]

Saatanako otat? means: Do you take satan?

 

[psycho88]

ah, thanks.
i mean, kiitos

 

[ert]

sorry if this has been asked before, but what does "saatanaako oootat?" mean?

Saatanako otat? means: Do you take satan?

That is correct, yet incorrect. "Saatanaako otat?" does indeed mean "Do you take satan?" but I guess the phrase in question here is the Tuska t-shirt text "Saatanaako odotat?" which means "Are you waiting for satan?"

 

[psycho88]

haha yeah, that was it. kiitos.

 

[Ocean.Soul]

fuuuck i wish i could speak finnish!! damnit
i should have gone to finland instead of the us for exchange, that would have been awesome

 

[Midnightblueshade]

Well, go ahead: http://donnerwetter.kielikeskus.helsinki.fi/FinnishForForeigners/parts-index.htm

Or get a Finnish textbook from a library, that's how I started :hotjump:
And if you're really lucky you'll find a Finnish class in your area
