Don't stop me... I'm going to learn Finnish! 🇫🇮 [ASMR]

In this ASMR Nordics video I learn Finnish to help you sleep using a book I bought a while ago. I hope my pronunciation is ok. Please give me tips in the comments section.
It would mean so much to me if you could leave a comment - even just an emoji - kiitos / tack!

As a Finn, I'm really glad about your interest in the Finnish language. Your learning is going great, keep going! 🫶🏻✨

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Kiitos!

[@normieuser]

I dont know if it will come later but in addition to minä-mä sinä-sä and so on, in casual speech the olla verb also changes a lot, like this olen-oon, olet-oot, olemme-ollaan(passive form) olette-ootte, ole-oo (for example se ei ole minun becomes se ei oo mun) 🇫🇮 it is a bit of a nightmare with how much colloquial finnish really differs from formal finnish but the grammar rules do stay the same, we just make everything shorter (and I do mean everything)

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Omg 😧 that's like Welsh. We change everything when we speak too

[@normieuser]

@@WelshASMR82Nordics Ohh I didnt know that about welsh!

[@skryle7294]

As a Finn, every time someone makes one of these learning Finnish videos I feel so seen😂❤️ Mahtavaa työtä! Keep up the good work, your voice pairs well with the Finnish language😊

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Kiitos!! That's so kind ☺️

[@joshrichardson9542]

I'm trying to learn Finnish too and this video taught me a few things!

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Yay! Kiitos!

[@Imnotyou-_-3]

Ei se niin hankalaa ole

[@saq4435]

Usually just knowing how to say "perkele" and a couple of nods and "mhms" is enough

[@Imnotyou-_-3]

@@saq4435 just know "noni" you can use it every where

[@Laukki]

As a finn I'm very glad to hear that ☺️ very nice, keep it up! Love your channel and voice 💪

[@Z44ZZ]

So relaxing... Finnish is awesome language and when you (welshASMR82) talks about it, its like perfection..... Thank you again:)

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

My pleasure 😁

An update on the -mies-titled professions! There has been lots of talk for quite a while about replacing them especially on a more formal level. Using the old forms is acceptable as well, but organisations and some media will try and use more titles like lakimies -> juristi, palomies -> pelastaja, puhemies -> puheenjohtaja etc. Menestystä opiskeluun! 😊

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Kiitos!

[@danna7681]

Keep going! I’m studying it too! 😍 I’d love watching more videos of finnish. Thank you🧡

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

You are either clever or crazy 🤣

[@EuanBCFC]

The only Finish I know comes from Käärijä and I’m not ashamed 🟢

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

At least I can say piña colada in Finnish because of him 😅

[@poppyes]

as a Finn I'm really happy to hear that :-D we love him

Hei, Jatka tätä sarjaa!

[@ululirekka7413]

I think there is like 17 ways to say one verb so good luck with that 👍😃🇫🇮🇫🇮

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Oh dear 😲

[@Minea321]

Olen suomalainen/im finn. Nice to hear people trying to learn finnish😊

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Kiitos!

[@joalampela8612]

I'm working on an interactive course in Finnish for a University and these videos give me a pretty decent idea of how to format the course. More please.

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Thanks!

[@surava7733]

Grammar is a pain in the ass, but pronounciation is quite easy when it clicks. And you are already very good in saying the words! Usually 'ä' and 'ö' are difficult for foreigners as well as double vowels and consonants. But you don't seem to have any problem with them!

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

That's so kind - thank you!

[@jamiekallio893]

The nationality words are funny in finnish since the ending suoma(lainen) lainen mean like as in you are like something. In this context you are Finland like or like a person from Finland.

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Ah, that's cute!!

[@sammerpuuilo]

I AM SURPRISED HOW WELL YOU CAN PRONOUNCE FINNISH

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Life goals completed

[@paju4140]

Jee 💙🥹

[@eelijylha]

A little correction at the start you pronounce the word walesilainen - weilsiläinen (I think)

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Kiitos!

[@jamiekallio893]

Many of the finnish get shortened in spoken finnish (puhekieli) like mä which is shortened from minä olen, which can be hard to learn/remeber.

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Really hard!

[@tokelauball929]

Can you try Hungarian in the future?

[@koiro1871]

hyvä video

[@jamiekallio893]

tosi hyvä

[@jamiekallio893]

Learning the spoken version (puhekieli) will be realtively easy IMO, but trying to learn grammatically correct finnish will be hard as a finn I even struggle with it still.

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

Oh dear 🤯

[@swinski8847]

​​@@WelshASMR82Nordicsdont worry bro me and my friends (as finns) speak englis quite much😂

[@poppyes]

great video (as always)! I got like second hand stress for you because of our grammar, but maybe you'll do ok since you're good at languages! :D you sometimes slipped when pronouncing Ä, you pronounced it as A, but it happens a lot to non-native speakers. :)

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

I still struggle with a and ä but I do know there is a fundamental difference and will keep trying to get it right! Kiitos!

[@poppyes]

@@WelshASMR82Nordics to me the easiest way to demonstrate the difference to non-Finns is by comparing the way A is pronounced in the english words "car" and "apple" - "car" kinda has the finnish A sound and "apple" has the Ä sound. dunno if repeating those words helps when trying to remember how to pronounce it but there u go :-D !

[@piotrek4603]

Im going to learn finish, start: hehe (dad joke)

[@eliasto_]

When I see something like this, I really appreciate that I have finnish as my mother tongue since there would be 0 chance of me learning it otherwise 😂

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

It is soooo difficult!

[@sugarx6687]

Hi! i started learning finnish by myself with duolingo, cause i love that language and i have some finnish friends...after a few months i gave up cause it was too hard but that language is still in my heart ...like all of you finnish people * runs away and cries*

[@WelshASMR82Nordics]

It is such a difficult language!!
