As an Italian, I can't Pronounce These Finnish Words! 🇫🇮

[@TheElectricFruit]

Holy shit your pronounciation is better than any of the foreigners from my workplace in Finland. With a little practice you'd sound like a native!

[@mauronicolo89]

Thank you! That means a lot to me 😊

[@nikovarinowski8807]

Jep. hyvin menee Mauro! 👍

[@penaarja]

Was really great❤️🇮🇹

[@Ryuuoo_]

Somebody said once to me that, Italy is easiest language to learn for finnish speaking person. So maybe goes other ways. Words are read like they are writen.

[@lanttu10]

@@Ryuuoo_ spanish and portuguese are also easy for the same reason.

[@Lunaholic94]

10:52 MAURO! That sounded perfect! You said those words like a native! 🎉

[@pippastin]

Don't be so hard on yourself! Finnish can be difficult to pronounce, but the most important thing is that you speak good enough Finnish, that we can understand you 😊

[@Lunaholic94]

Exactly what I was about to say. Wise words!

[@tompsu9536]

The last one translates to aircraft jet turbine assistant mechanic NCO student which is a military title.

[@Timonen76]

Lyijytäytekynä is not a pencil, it´s propelling/mechanical pencil! Pencil is just lyijykynä.

[@juussi4318]

or "kynä"

[@aleksihanninen5929]

@@juussi4318 Jep. Kun olin ala-asteella, jopa mun ope sanoi sitä vaan pelkkänä kynänä.

[@juussi4318]

@@aleksihanninen5929 tbh mun kuviksen ope on varmaa ainoo ihmine jonka oon kuullu sanovan lyijykynä

[@tonikaihola5408]

It’s not “turbiinia”, they cut it in a weird place. The second line should start with “apumekaanikko”

[@penaarja]

Just

[@bror8228]

It was not cut in a weird place but in a wrong place...

[@Tarzaani]

and u should have "moottori" in between of "turbiini" and "apumekaanikko"

[@JS...]

A missed opportunity with hääyöaie also.

[@Aurinkohelmi]

Yötyö = night shift

[@Bot.number.69420]

Great pronounciation as always. Good job. When I had singing lessons they talked about location where you imagine sound is formed. The open sounds Y, Ö and Ä are placed in front of lips/mouth and I, O and A are inside mouth and are less open sounds while they share same base sound.

[@Zarniwooper]

Mauro you should do a video trying to say Finnish tongue twisters "Yötyö vie työmiehen myöhään syömään!"

[@MikkoRantalainen]

"Ärrän kierrän orren ympäri, ässän pistän taskuun" is another great one to make one feel that Finnish is totally impossible to pronounce.

[@nio804]

My favourite is "Appilan pappilan apupapin papupata pankolla kiehuu ja porisee" because saying "apupapin papupata" quickly is more like "apupapipapupata" which is fun to say.

[@jauhoprinsessa]

Vesihiisi sihisi hississä is also great one :D

[@OH8EFI]

I agree! Mauro doing Finnish tongue twisters, that's a solid video material right there!

[@penaarja]

The Last one of your was rarlly good lentokonesuihkutur....❤️ Maybe even real word. But great examples of Finnish comopound words. Every finn understannds it like any word

[@Your_L0cl_1diot]

7:18 It actually means mechanical pencil. A pencil is "lyijykynä", and a marker/pen/pencil would be just "kynä". 10:10 reminder that o and ö are different letters (ö should appear on english phones if you press o for a long time(?)) 12:59 The full word is "Lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas", but they removed "moottori" for some reason. It means Aircraft Jet Turbine Engine Auxiliary Mechanic NCO Apprentice, and is the longest word in finnish. Remember that learning new languages is hard, especially Finnish with it's pronounciation, so don't be too hard on your self!

[@MikkoRantalainen]

16:05 The word is incorrectly split into two lines in random position. The correct syllable break position would be "lentokonesuihkuturbiini-apumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas". She explained this one a bit poorly, the literal translation would be "aeroplane jet turbine assistant mechanic, non-commissioned officer in training".

[@OH8EFI]

I am amazed by your pronounciation!

[@mauronicolo89]

Really? Thank you very much!

[@finnishculturalchannel]

'Lyijytäytekynä' is mechanical pencil. Practicing different vowel pairs might help. Keeping in mind that there's vowel harmony: "Non-compound word can only contain front vowels ä, ö, y or back vowels a, o, u. The vowels e and i can mix with all other vowels." When those come naturally, add consonant in front or after or both. Then it's pretty much just knowing the hyphenation rules and you can read and write Finnish without understanding any of it.

[@VannyVanesca]

Most people call Pencil just "lyijäri" or "kynä", at most lyijykynä but almost never the whole word.

[@stinak7924]

I don't speak korean but I can actually hear when they speak it, that if I would start to study the language, it might be quite easy to learn. There are lots of similarities with the pronounciation. It's the same with japanese. I have heard that finnish can sound like japanese to foreigners who don't speak none of these. BTW your finnish pronounciation gets better and better all the time. Can't you make a video where you only speak finnish someday, pleace? 😊❤

[@mapppkyc6698]

Pfft, these are all easy, I could pronounce them with my hands tied behind my back while wearing a blindfold.

[@arkan324]

lyijy-täyte-kynä means lead filled pencil. Also you can think of letter j as 'y' in English, soft always. Lento-kone-suihku-turbiini-apu-mekaanikko-ali-upseeri-oppilas literally means flight machine jet turbine assist mechanic sub officer student.

[@toniheikkila5607]

Id put out "riiuuyöäie". "The intention of wooing someone at night." A whole lot of vocals for a change.

[@bror8228]

Tyypillistä suomalaisille: ei osata lausua (eikä edes kirjoittaa) öötä ja aata samassa sanassa vaikka kyseessä on yhdyssana...yöaie...(vrt. olympia (ölympiä/olumpia)

[@jyrkilehtinen9886]

"muovi suomi tutti matti navetta" - any difficultues to pronounce?

[@jyrkilehtinen9886]

You could make a list of this kind of words too.

A belt you use in nightshift would be yötyövyö.

I'll work without it! ahah

[@Aurinkohelmi]

By KZbin videos it feels Finnish is easier to Asians than people speaking indoeuropean languages. I guess there is some common from our language originally coming from Urals/Siberia 🤔

[@Songfugel]

Almost, our language doesn't come from there, but those locations were indeed along the path and about the area where the mass migration split up (due to natural barriers) into different directions over 25k years ago. Most other Europeans and Asians are part of different and later mass migrations, which is why they differ so much from those, like the people currently living in those regions you mentioned (the Slavic people settled in those areas much later)

[@Ryuuoo_]

Pen is just Kynä. 13:45 i dont know why they cut that word like that 'a pu' 'apu'. Lentokone-suihkuturbiini-apumekaanikko-aliupseeri-oppilas, longest word of finnish.

[@bror8228]

Longest "yhdyssana" maybe, not longest word...

[@penaarja]

Jess you noticed that apumekaanikko is one word of that comopound. Not a pumekaanikko

[@TeroKoskinen-xy2zz]

Literally nobody says lyijytäytekynä in Finland. We just say kynä. Lyijytäytekynä is just one kind of pencils

[@spugelo359]

Except in rare cases where you need to specify which kind of pen you want/need.
