Hi welcome ^_^ I'm also learning Finnish, to tell you the truth, haven't been back to gaia in a while! Hope you learn much Finnish here ^_^ (my English isn't bad, just for some reason can't be bothered speaking it properly today..)

Actually, while I'm here...in my Finnish book, I can't figure out what the translation difference is between Voisimme and Voimme. Voimme is also past tense isn't it? Anyway, I got all confused because I couldn't find an English translation for the past tense. And how it was different to Voisimme......
If anyone could help me out that would be great!

Voisimme= We could be able to... Voimme= We are able to... Both are future tense... Past tense would be something like... Olisimme voineet. (I think...) Could someone correct me, if I'm wrong...

'Voimme' and 'Voisimme' difference is (naturally) the -isi- in the middle, and that means 'should' in English.
Voimme = We are able to
Voisimme = We should be able to
People often translate it differently, like you said, using the past tense - not sure if you can say it's wrong or not - but usually -isi- = "should" and not past tense. However, I have a feeling that both can be correct. Or at least it doesn't make such a difference that it would affect the meaning of the sentence used in.

WOOT!! Thankyou guys! True what Wicked said, I highly doubt I'll be using "Voisimme" in a sentence anyway...
