 I was wondering if anyone could help me learn some more Finnish. 3nodding
I'm a Finn myself, but I've been living in Australia all my life.
My dad used to teach me some words, but through out the years I've forgotten a lot!
So yeah~ Please help. 3nodding
Words I'd currently like to know~
Feelings
*I'm good.
*I'm bad.
*I'm happy.
*I'm sad.
*I'm sick.
etc.
Likes/Dislikes
*I like coffee.
*I like ____
etc.

give a hint what words you could need domokun
Numbers! - Numerot!
(pronounciation..erm...)
1 - yksi (yks)
2 - kaksi (kaks)
3 - kolme (kol)
4 - neljä (nel)
5 - viisi (viis)
6 - kuusi (kuus) ((kuusi means also a fir))
7 - seitsemän (seiten)
8 - kahdeksan (kasi)
9 - yhdeksän (ysi)
10 - kymmenen (kymppi)
In ():s are how the numbers are usually said shorter.
Numbers. How imaginative. sweatdrop
Numerot. Kuinka mielikuvituksellista. sweatdrop
(brackets?) - (sulkeet?)
short - lyhyt , shorter (than) - lyhempi (kuin) , shortest - lyhin (...lyhyt feels so weird now o_O)
word - sana
Probably that wasn't very helpful, but... Good if you want to learn Finnish!
Luultavasti tuo ei ollut suuri apu, mutta... Hyvä jos haluat oppia suomea!

and letter "y" is pronounced like the first sound of "eww", or are there better examples? sweatdrop
good morning = hyvää huomenta
good day = hyvää päivää
good evening = hyvää iltaa
good night = hyvää yötä
afternoon = iltapäivä
noon = keskipäivä
midnight = keskiyö
(keski- = middle)
bye = heihei, heippa, moi
see you soon = nähdään pian
and the most important ones:
sorry / pardon / excuse me = anteeksi (/sori)
thankyou = kiitos
please / (t)here you go = ole hyvä / olkaa hyvät (if many)

Fawgwah Feelings *I'm good. = olen hyvä *I'm bad. = Olen paha etc. Or does these mean like I feel bad? Or just that I'm evil? :'D I feel good/I'm good. = Voin hyvin. I feel bad/I'm bad. = Voin huonosti.

I have started a Finnish Grammar post in the Foreign Haven subforum. In addition to grammar rules, I will also post simple phrases and other stuff for all your Finnish-learning-needs. (Just one 'lesson' added, but I will write more stuff there when I have time)
Feel free to even start a new thread there about what you'd like to learn, so I know what people would like to know about our language!
