Can I Speak the HARDEST Language in the WORLD?

[@mona-wc1oy]

if you are speaking finnish language it’s ”suomi” , but if you mean Finland as a country it’s ”Suomi”

[@D0MiN0ChAn]

So is this the only time upper- and lowercase are used respectively in Finnish (when talking about country/language)? Or are there different instances as well?

[@JasminMiettunen]

D0MiN0 names are written with a capital, including peoples names, continents, countries, cities, streets. While languages and nationalities are not capitalised. Mostly, proper nouns are capitalised, verbs and adjectives are mot. So if you live in Suomi, you are suomalainen and hopefully speak suomea. It only matters in language classes, though.

[@nocturalTragedy]

Jasmin Miettunen so like in english? is it used in titles, too? like for movies, books, etcs

[@JasminMiettunen]

BringMe EggRolls yeah, except if it has multiple words in the title. Because in English you have some arbitrary rules where you can Capitalise Every Word, except some words like articles and prepositions??? Like “The Fault in Our Stars”, while in Finnish you just capitalise the first letter of the book name, like “Tähtiin kirjoitettu virhe”, same book, different language.

[@sammyk3024]

This is why google translating everyday language works so poorly. "Vaan" means "just (a little bit)" and "istua" means to sit. But when you say "istu vaan" the "vaan" becomes a way to make it a polite suggestion. "Istu vaan" in that context should be translated to "sure, you may sit there" or more realistically just "sure." If you only said "istu" it would become as rude as saying "just sit there."

[@joanneaugust6611]

@@sanchu6335 not necessarily. I know a Bulgarian who speaks German without any accent because she went to kindergarten in Germany (like actual Kindergarten between the ages of 1/3/4 and six). I also know a girl with a Japanese father and a slavic mother (I don't remember the country anymore) who speak Italian amongst each other because they're both fluent. The kids speak German (from school education), Japanese and the mother's language, all without an accent, and they have basic knowledge of Italian. So basically what I'm saying is, young children have an amazing ear for languages, and if you let them spend enough time with different native speakers, they will easily be able to learn any of them on a native speaker level. I should add though: people who are bi- oder multilingual usually lose a bit in either one or all of them. Not the accent, but the feeling for the language. Usually you notice that one of them really is their first language, and they're missing words or using weird ones in the other(s). In both girls' cases, German was most obviously the first language, and while an accent could not be heard in the others even by native speakers, after a little time, they would have noticed. Same goes for Swedish-speaking people in Finland, by the way. Most of them learn finnish only through school education, but later often sound like native speakers with the exception of a few weird words and phrases they might use.

You can absolutely drop the personal pronouns out of the sentence and be understood in Finnish. For example, you can say "Sinä olet seuraava." and "Olet seuraava.", both are correct. With the pronoun "sinä" it might sound a bit more official, I think? And in the spoken language people do drop the pronomine suffixes out on substantives, which I sometimes feel is a pity. Our language is slowly going towards no suffixes.

The easiest rule of thumb in my opinion is that you can forget the "extra" pronouns when you're referring to yourself or someone you're with (I/we/you). Otherwise talking about someone who's not present you'd have to use the pronoun for them (him/her). For example: Minä olen kotona. - I am home. Olen kotona. - I am home. vs. He ovat kotona. - They are home. Ovat kotona - Are home

Which is hard or the hardest language depends on the starting language, usually mother tongue. This measurement 'hardest, second hardest' etc. typically mean '... for an English speaker'.

"Istu vaan" isn't actually as negative as the translator makes it sound. It actually translates for example to:"please be my guest and have a seat" not sure if that clarifies anything 🤔😅 finnish is often times based on the tone not really the words.

[@kompo5997]

Koska se laitto siihe "vetta" eikä "vettä"

[@-Mohog]

@@TheRawrnstuff That is not correct. "Vettä" is not "of water". That "of" particle comes from the way English language works. "A glass of water" is directly translated "lasi vedestä", or more correctly "lasillinen vedestä"; "of water" = "vedestä" where particle "of" means "jostakin". Explaining shortly in Finnish: Lasi on siis täytetty vedestä (vedellä), täten siis "lasi vettä". "Vettä" is just "water" in English. If you say, for example "tuo on vettä", you don't say "that is of water", you say "that is water". So you can't say on its own "of water" to mean "vettä", "of water" can only mean "vedestä".

The difference between "vesi" and "vettä" is that "vettä" is the object of a sentence and "vesi" is just the basic form of the noun "water". Same with some of the other nouns here... (the lovely thing about noun cases - probably the hardest part of the Finnish language) As for the verb endings and the pronouns... Basically it's okay both to use the pronoun and to leave it out because of the personalized endings, it's personal preference. In official texts I'd say we usually leave the pronouns out. However, generally we Finns tend to use the pronouns in every-day conversations because spoken Finnish is a bit different from the official language (which is what WordDive is teaching) and the pronouns and verbs are significantly shorter (and it sounds stupid to leave the pronoun out with the abbreviated verb even though it has the same personalized ending). We also use the passive with "we" instead of the official "-mme" ending. For example: "Minä olen" would be "Mä oon" and "Me olemme" would become "Me ollaan". (don't mind me, I'm just someone who's interested in the quirks of Finnish linguistics, because oh boy don't they make no sense)
