I have learned so much about the Finnish language watching your videos. You just make it so much more fun and interesting than my oppikoulun kielioppi opettaja kuuskut luvulla (my family emigrated to the USA in 1968 so I have not had formal training in Finnish since then). You have a naturally relaxed and unintimidating style has given me the courage to start studying the language that sounds the most beautiful to me: Italian. PS. My father's name was especially intimidating to pronounce for Americans, despite it's utter simplicity (only four letters): Yrjö so they called him George instead.

Very interesting video! It seems like Finnish vowel harmony is very similar to that of Kazakh, except for that Kazakh has a few more vowels in each category. Also the way that loanwords break the rules is the same in Kazakh with Russian loanwords. I'd love to see some more videos about Finnish!

The website works better in Russian, but it has an English version too. It provides a structured course, lots of vocab, short dialogues etc. Apart from that I used Colloquial Kazakh and another book in Russian called казахский язык самоучитель. Also, the Kazakh Tourism KZbin channel has some videos in Kazakh with Kazakh subtitles.

In Turkish the vowels are split into two categories, and native words typically contain only vowels of one type: front (e, i, ö, and ü) or back (a, ı, o, and u). Words originating in foreign languages aren’t necessarily obliged to follow this dichotomy (banliyö, otobüs, İsfahan), but I notice the influence of the predominate vowel type on the pronunciation of other vowels in certain mixed-vowel words (İstanbul being pronounced as Istanbul, rüzgar being pronounced as something similar to rüzgär). Interestingly, the “mode of transportation” suffix in Turkish is also le/la (“trenle,” “vapurla”).

I personally view it as a compound word and I'm drawn to say the end as "laine" or "lane" in this case because that's the word, that's the word for "kind of". I personally use "tällane" or "tällanen". Am from western Uusimaa. Don't know if the dialect affects it.
