Missä Olen? | KatChats

[@KatChatsFinnish]

*Pro Tip: If you want things to sound more puhekieli, just exchange OLEN with OON. For example Olen Aasiassa would turn into Oon Aasiassa. And all the OLET to OOT. For example Missä olet would turn into Missä oot? :)

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Oh! I also got the comment about ordering coffee and will do that next ^-^

[@vincentjoetolentino4609]

I am currently studying finnish. Im at a2 level. I noticed that you don't use the pronouns. Is that how all finnish speak in real conversation?

[@miodkensiwo]

You're my favourite Finnish teacher :D Kiitos for giving us the Puhekieli versions, I don't want to sound artificial when I finally decide to visit Finland :)

[@miodkensiwo]

oh, and have fun in Singapore!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Aw thank you so much, and I'm glad you enjoy my videos. :)

[@mikaelleppa4675]

It's not bad at all even you speak kirjakieli I recommend that you first learn speak kirjakieli and then Peace by peace puhekieli. Then People understands you better every where. Welcome to the Finland 👌Sorry my English is not perfect.

[@miodkensiwo]

Kiitos for answering :) Every bit of help from the Finnish folks is worth a lot. I try to focus on kirjakieli while comparing some phrases to puhekieli, just to understand how it works. There is a lot to learn, but I will do my best. Cheers!

[@ferencnagy8157]

I am Hungarian. I am absolutely beginner in the Finnish language. I have learnt Fromm this video the words for exchange student & how long. Advantage of your language: I do not mix it with a relates one, like Spanish with Portuguese, and Russian with Polish.

[@FaliyosKako]

Omg I'm so in love with Finnish but since I study 4 other languages and Finnish learning materials are rather scarce, it's soo hard and discouraging ;__; I'm going to keep watching your videos though. I can't wait for grammar lessons cuz I'm a grammar freak haha. Love you!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Aw thank you ^-^ I'll try to read up on a few Finnish grammar books in the near future to brush up on them myself hahah!!

[@matthiasjabs10]

Finally a channel to learn finnish, clear and easy. Keep it up :)

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Glad to hear that! Thank you so much! :)

[@byronreyes7711]

One of my biggest dreams is to study in Finland. Your videos are a great help to learn important phrases in Finnish. Btw my native language is Spanish, and as well as in Finnish, we pronounce every single letter in a word!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Kiitos for the comment! Ah I didn't know that, pretty cool to find some similarities then :)

[@amreenvlog954]

Actually I learn a lot lot from your videos and i like it the way you say it and explain it🥰

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Thank you, this is very kind of you to say 🥰🥰

I'm glad to find a good resource to learn Finnish and by a cute teacher!

[@nitalightell336]

Hi 🙂 my fiance is half Finnish. He remembers when he was growing up listening to his dad converse with his grandparents in Finnish and he told me it sounded like gibberish. He's never really had an interest in learning the language but I find it fascinating. The first thing I taught myself was to tell him I love you in Finnish. So I have that down. I really enjoy your videos and listening to the Beautiful Finnish language. We will see how far I get with just learning some basic conversational phrases and sentences. Wish me luck! ✌️💖😊p.s my fiance did not even know the meaning of his name or how to pronounce it properly. It is Ruohomaki. I can't wait to marry him and take on his beautiful name.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Aw thank you so much, wishing you the best with your Finnish learning! It's amazing to see people so excited to learn ^-^

[@katemhay]

I love all your videos, Ms. Kat. I am learning a lot. I am from Philippines. Keep it up.❤❤

[@cs16Tactics]

To be a spefiic I'm not sure if you can ask "Missä Aasiassa olet", it straightly translates to "In which Asia are you" to my ears at least. Shouldn't it be "MissäPÄIN Aasiaa olet" or something like that? Not trying to nitpick, it just särähti to my ear so badly that I had to figure out if it's right or wrong way to say it :D

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Haha no en oo todellakaan mikään Suomi pro eli voi hyvinki tulla semmosii asioita jotka saattaa kuulostaa epäilyttäviltä mutta kiva kun huomautit :)

I love ice hockey and this year I started to follow European hockey and my favorite team is Jokerit from Helsinki... I really want to understand the broadcast and your videos (and Pimsleur) are my introduction to finnish. I know Europe loves soccer but is hockey popular in Finland? Anyway excellent job teaching the language, Kiitos!

I was/am still doing my full bachelor's degree there!

[@wilhelmsarasalo3546]

"Missä Aasiassa olet?", sounds like there are many Asian continents and you are asking which one. "Missä olet Aasiassa?" would sound better to me, but I am relearning Finnish. Your pronunciation is perfect and the distinction between puhekieli and kirjakieli is really well done. Does that exist elsewhere?, slang sure, but in Swedish not really, Japanese, I don't recall, here in L.A. not so much, sure surfers and valley girls talk different, but that is more like slang.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

I heard Norwegian has a similar spoken and written form of the language (if this was your questions) :)

[@Utopia_Channel]

Kiitos

In Finnish, isn't there a different intonation in order to ask questions? Is the intonation of questions the same as the intonation of statements?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Hmm not really, like I know in English questions you tend to go higher up at the end right? But in Finnish it's quite flat or maybe emphasis on one word of your choice xD So yeah there's not really a difference :)
