Can I Make an ENTIRE Video in Finnish?

Today I answer the question of whether I can do a whole video in Finnish, then I jump on Worddive (not a sponsor) and do some harder Finnish lessons.

"Farkut" is basically a shorter version of "farmarihousut" (which is a word that nobody uses), which is a combination of "farmari" (farmer) and "housut" (pants/trousers). And "farmari" is an anglicism, which makes "farkut" such a weird word.

[@henkkahenrik4183]

i’m finn, and have actually never seen the word ”farkut” written down, and somehow it bothers me that it’s written with f. like i dunno what i expected, like it’s not like i imagined it to be written with v either, but it just bothers me. we need to invent a new letter to spell ”farkut”. 😂

I'm always impressed when someone says they don't know really any or much finnish and then they know so many words.. It's a hard language probably because the formal and informal languages are so different. And so many of these apps and programs use formal finnish, then you hear people actually speak and you're completely lost.

[@kagenohikari8]

Similar to Japanese. If people only depend on anime for their language learning, they'll be extremely surprised when hearing a real Japanese speak. Anime is too informal, however, language schools are too formal. Conversational Japanese is really only learned from native speakers or teachers living in Japan.

Guys, there is something I realized when I learned spanish by living in Mexico. You have to train your ears to hear all the different nuances. Something that sounds simple to you won't be simple to someone just learning the language. I had trouble hearing the difference between vowels at first sometimes, and Spanish only has 5 vowel sound! But then there are things like not pronouncing "leer" as "ler," or the difference between "via" and "villa." The last one was a problem I had after 1.5 years living there and was definitely fluent in the language. So give him a break. It's not easy.
