PostSubject: Say Hi/Introducing yourself   Wed Oct 22, 2008 3:38 pm

NOTE: The teaching is based on the video "Learn Finnish with Sulkasiipi" in Youtube.
By watching those videos and reading these things here, it's more easier for you
to learn Finnish! Grammar and things like that I'm gonna teach by myself.
GOOD LUCK!

1. Say hi!

Hello! = Hei!
Good morning = Hyvää huomenta
Good night = Hyvää yötä
See you = Näkemiin
Bye bye = Hei hei

Here's the video
Say hi!

2. Introducing yourself

My name is... = Minun nimeni on...
I am... = Minä olen...
I am ... years old = Olen ... vuotias / Olen ... vuotta vanha
I live in... = Minä asun ...-ssa/ssä (in = -ssa/ssä but sometimes it's -lla/llä.
For example: I live in Russia = Minä asun Venäjällä; Russia = Venäjä)
My favourite thing is... = Minun lempiasiani on...
My favourite color is... = Minun lempivärini on...

Here's the video (in the end of the video you can practice letters ä and ö)
Introducing yourself

If 'ä' and 'ö' are too hard for you to learn to pronounce, I think you should use
English in order to help you! Let me show you few things:


- ä is similar to æ in English: 'cat' is pronounced like 'kæt'
- ö is similar to ə in English: 'bird' is pronounced like 'bərd'
