I kept saying KTP rule throughout the video lolll but officially it's "KPT Rule" since that is the alphabetical order of the letters. But I suppose it doesn't matter much in which order they are...as long as you remember the letters involved 😅 If anyone has any additional tips for the topics I covered in this video, feel free to share in the comments! I'm sure everyone would be grateful for any additional tips you may have picked up along your studies 😊 P.S.

Well.. depends if you want to call it "Konsonantit Temppuilevat Paljon" or "Konsonanttien Pirulliset Temput".

[@my.lionart]

Jee, finally a video on this topic! 😊

[@abdulrahmanbayazid3996]

Kiitos tästä hyödyllisestä videosta

[@MGVK2277]

This was a topic i've been honestly stuck on for a good amount of time, thanks

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Glad to hear that! Will be continuing this series in the near future :)

[@jcpana060959]

Excellent! I love these types of videos. I didn't realize you could conjugate nouns but i guess you can by adding the cases. About cases, those are hard and i know you have done some videos in the past but there's so much to learn about them. Like when to use them, lol.

[@ovidbrandy]

In general, adding case endings is called “inflection” in English. When it’s done to verbs, that’s “conjugation,” and when it’s done to nouns that’s “declension”. So, to incline words, we “conjugate” verbs and “decline” nouns.

[@helenak.7646]

Kiitos!😊

[@kellysvlog1184]

Cool,ive been having a hard time understanding the noun gradation.your videos makes a lot easier for me to understand.thank you so much.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Wow I'm so happy to hear that, kiitos paljon!

[@kechimonye474]

Kiitos ❤

[@MX-se5yl]

Kiitos paljon hyvää päivää

[@shatterthemirror8563]

What's really interesting is that consonants don't actually get longer. Only the space between syllables. Maybe it has to do with how agglutination was developed as well as how vowels shifted?

[@hungho7958]

thank you so much for this video, its very easy and it helps me have more motivation to learn this difficult language

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Wow I’m so happy to hear that!

Great video ❤️❤️ thanks!!!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Thanks for watching! Kiitos! :)

[@kirsikka30]

wow lucky i found this vedio thank you ❤

[@hyhhy]

Indeed, the Finnish case endings that create a "closed" syllable (ending in a consonant) before them such as -N or -STA would make many words somewhat cumbersome to pronounce without consonant gradation. Before consonant gradation evolved, the case endings probably had extra vowels, so that they did not create "closed" syllables. The Finnish essive case -NA still keeps an "open" syllable before it and thus does not cause consonant gradation. The genitive -N was probably -NE before consonant gradation, and the lative -S (such as in -STA, combined with the original partitive -TA) was likely -SE back then.

[@susancassan6870]

Thank you for another great explanation with lots of examples to reinforce it! FYI, if it is helpful, you can distinguish between the changes in verbs and nouns by saying you conjugate verbs, but nouns have declensions. May not be helpful if people are just trying to remember that the words change. Just a thought. Susan

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Thank you! I had never heard about declensions (or forgotten about since leaving school). Glad you enjoyed all the examples!

[@bicolanasjoychannel]

That's what we studying in the course right now katchats.. I sometimes sharing suomi basic phrases too on my channel but I am amazed with you.. You are really good in speaking and sharing on your channels too. You got the accent too.. It's still tosi vaikea minulle. ☺️

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Oh really! What a coincidence, hope it's going well :D Thanks for sharing and just subscribed to your channel :)

[@bicolanasjoychannel]

Thanks for the videos

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Thank you for watching too :)

[@okaro6595]

Rekka is really a semi, though many non-professionals use is on a truck with a full trailer. The point is that it is long.

[@cococake6803]

Great opetaja kiitos

[@KatChatsFinnish]

kiitos :)

[@HussainZilaal-vl9tm]

Kiittää ❤😊

[@Damjes]

If it is about verbs and nouns, then it's called inflection. Conjugation is only about verbs.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Oops! Sorry about that!

[@totsiepie0412]

Hello thanks for. this video.. Can you also tell us the meaning of for exam Pekka pekan, pekalla,pekalasta,pekalassa ? kiitos

[@daisymaebasilan7127]

can u please explain about the partitive, thank u

[@butchukoy5913]

Kiitos! Can u also do a video about comparison of plural endings like (T, JA) and double letter ending (kaljaa, euroo, viinii.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

I can add it to my list, I can say already now say that "kaljaa" is partitive case ending I think. "euroo" is the puhekieli form of "euroa" also partitive and "viinii" is also puhekieli form of "viiniä" which again is partitive :)

[@butchukoy5913]

@@KatChatsFinnish This one confuses me regarding plural forms... Autot vs Autoja.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

@@butchukoy5913 I would say "autot" would translate to = the cars, so specific cars. So you could say "noi autot" = those cars there. And "autoja" translates to more like = cars (plural in general). So sentences more like "autoja on paljon täällä" = there are a lot of cars here (but not speaking about any cars in particular)

[@butchukoy5913]

Aijaa... Kiitos paljon! Nyt se on selvä mulle.

[@okaro6595]

@@butchukoy5913 Nominative plural is use mainly as a subject (koirat purevat = dogs bite). As an object it would mean all or all in a group. "söin karkit"= I ate all the candy. If you ate just some you would say "söin karkkeja" . If there are cars on the street you would say "kadulla on autoja". It is a part of the whole set of cars so one uses partitive. If one talked about specific two or more cars one would say "autot on (ovat) kadulla" (note the word order). A weird thing in Finnish is that following a number larger than one one uses a singular partitive: "kolme autoa". However if one says many cars one uses the plural (paljon autoja). I cannot see the logic in this.

Sakot Lamput Tytit

Where did you found this book at 5:17? It was a German who learned finish. 😉😅

[@kimochii2090]

After conjugation what will happen to the words..what the changes in meaning?? T.n.ssa etc...??

[@mkhatri007]

can you please upload remaining parts?

[@VikeerGivers]

We love kachat hoping we will pass the interims exams.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Good luck! Onnea!

[@stephanbermejo1040]

Tytin täytyy maksaa sakon koska hän rikkoi jotkut lamput tahattomasti museossa. Kiitos, Kat. :)

[@PaulVinonaama]

Tytin täytyy maksaa sakko...

[@okaro6595]

"sakot". Also in normal language one would say "vahingossa". "Tahattomasti" sounds like legal language. Also there should be a comma before "koska". Sakot is generally in plural, I do not know if it is because one gets a specific amount of day fines.

[@alwaysafk3577]

Great thanks for answering my questions last video this is very helpful And one question I need you to make a video of dessert cakes like saying them in finnsh vocabulary In the video your voice is really cute please make a video about that that's all I can ask and I can't talk good things about you because you are so cute and lovely💓🙂😋😚

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Ohh what kind of cakes? Do you have specific recommendations? :)

[@alwaysafk3577]

Blueberry, Strawberry, Vanilla, chocolate, and more..... you can choose your favorite cakes and like say it out and also make a vocab words of the flavors. I think....

[@nvchlt9720]

Hi, if I remember correctly that we apply the kpt change to the last syllable of any words? When it comes to the word lin-tu. The last syllable is tu, I tent to change it into lindu- instead of linnu- . Could Kat or anyone help me explain this? Thanks so much ❤

[@em.h3]

Hi, I would like to ask if there is any website or app where we can check the vartalo part?

[@garrypalma6600]

nice

[@hafidhels]

Can you make a vedio for meaning of these (ssa, sta, lle, lla, lta, n), I only know 't' is for plural. Kiitos 🙂

[@jcpana060959]

Those are case endings. They modify the word they are added to. Like ssa indicates in and sta from, etc. I want her to do a video explaining more about cases.

[@hafidhels]

@@jcpana060959 tnx bro 🙂. Me too, I hope that she makes a detailed vedio about it

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Yes I guess I will make more case videos at some point, I just get nervous because they are a little tricky to explain and I don't want to accidentally misinform people so I've put it off for a long time xD

[@dontkillmebaby4056]

คุณพิมพ์ภาษาไทยเก่งมาก

[@sanmi1752]

sakko= sako=sakon; sakot; sakosta, sakolla, sakomme; sakotte (2) lamppu=lampu (3)tytti= Tyti

[@threethrushes]

I (kind of) understand that KPT exists, but no one has explained the purpose of KPT changes. Why do the Finns do this? What benefits does it bring? Oh, she explains it off the bat. Kiitos.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Kiitos :)

[@harvoin]

Not really relevant I know, but just for the record: double consonants are described as 'geminite' from the linguistic phenomenon K/A 'gemination' (from the latin 'Gemini', twins in the third astrological sign in the zodiac)

[@wernerjacobs9277]

Germinate consonants

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Oh really :o

[@lifewithcharm1446]

Hi. How about the word “maNGo” why it doesn’t need to go through gradation?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

That is a loan word so that’s why it’s like that :)

[@asithapragnaratna]

I have the sama book

[@Tosia-ku4bu]

Maybe off topic, but you are gorgeous;)

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Thank you :)

[@thien1809]

Do we use ktp rules in partitive, Kat?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Hmm I don't think so. Mikko -> Mikkoa, Katajanokka -> Katajanokkaa, Keitto -> Keittoa, Nappi -> Nappia

[@thien1809]

Kiitos Kat!
