To the finnish people here...

[tempestadiossa]

A pretty finnish girl is gonna stay in my class for the whole year so I thought I'd give finnish a second try I already have a very basic finnish knowledge (sentences like "the book is on the table" or "the cat is in the kitchen"...actually I dunno those 2! But I know "Sina olet kaunis" "Tapiiri on pullea" and "Mina rakastan suomea" for instance LOL) but I cudn't find a finnish grammar book anywhere so I'm back to ask the finnish people here some basic grammar Hope it won't bother u!

- Verb Conjugation (Present, Past simple and Futur)

- Word order inside the sentence

- Adjectives

- Accusativ etc...which are the most used and how do they work

- Misc words and verbs I might need (for instance how to answer a "kiitos"...)

 

[Lari]

Finnish is impossible.

kyrpa...thats an important one to know...

 

[Lari]

For example, this is how to use the "to be" -verb in Finnish (olla).

Why is it that when Finnish people speak, the language sounds great, but when I try to speak it, it sounds like I am torturing a cat???

 

[Janne Warman]

Try to remember to take the cat out of your mouth when you try speakin finnish...

Hey Bodomania what up?

 

[Bodomania]

Hey there Janne!

Yup, damn whiskers always get stuck in my teeth. Maybe I should just buy a Finnish cat...
