I​love 😘💋💕katchan 💛

[@radthibidaeux8229]

I love this video, it's very well done and clearly delivered. It's amazing how EFFORTLESSLY you switch from Finn to English, then back to Finn, in the same sentence! Katja has a level of fluency that few "bilingual" people ever actually achieve, plus she has become quite the skillful teacher after the many thousands of hours she has put in to helping others learn Finnish. Katja, I almost feel like you should have another channel called "KatchatsEnglish," where you teach Finns how to "fine tune" the English they already know. You could do seminars at companies via zoom, even? I know many Finns are shy about speaking English, just as I am speaking Finn. ^^^^^^^1000% thumbs up on this video, it might be one of your best, yet!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Oh this is seriously such a lovely comment! Kiitos tosi tosi paljon! I appreciate it so much and I'm glad you enjoyed this one so much! And yes that would be a fun idea haha if only I had enough time to even properly run this channel xD

[@claudinetolosa3352]

Wow! What a great video. This is a big help because we are studying now joo mä hoidan. It’s a requirement for us to pass the finnish language exam before we can able to work in finland. Olen filippiiniläinen. This is a great help for me to better understand the ko/kö endings. Kiitos paljon!!😊

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Glad this was helpful! Wish you luck with your studying and the Finnish language exam. Onnea!

[@isaacwiebe7020]

i really like this channel i am finn and german but losing all extended family on my dads side i have no idea about german culture. Honestly before my grandma passes away it would blow her away if i could eventually hold a conversation in Finnish

[@nickybu9219]

Hei! Kiitos for your important Videos! Without you i couldnt really learn finnish! 💜

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Oh that’s really kind of you to say. Thank you so much, Kiitos paljon ☺️

Kiitos paljon!😊

[@williambenner5531]

Kiitos paljon!!! I have been using the Duolingo app for over a year, but syncing the pronoun of address with the verb ending in a question form has been a hit or miss weak spot for me. This video has helped immensely. My Finnish grandfather explained to me that he always wanted to know how and why things worked. I. E. how the valves on his baritone horn changed musical notes as breath travels longer or shorter distances through the instrument. Your Video put the pieces together in the same way for me…thank you very much…sending along a special thank you…😊😊

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Wow what an amazing comment! Kiitos paljon, thank you so much and I'm glad it helped you piece together the information you know :)

[@merclangrat]

Kiitos paljon :) of course I see Sidney :) And I could hear her moving while you're talking, so cuuuuute :) tosi söpö! (first I thought that's my dog because she was close to me, and I was listening in the headphones)

Moi, I am studying finnish language. And your channel helps me a lot. Please help me how to form a question (ko/kö) in a singular sä using the verb nukkua.

[@Taiga300]

Also the informal/puhekieli way of saying 'syömmekö (me)' would be 'syödäänkö (me)' :)

Question: what are those dots on top of the vowels called? like ö or å or what is š ?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

I had no idea. I litereally googled this and apparently it's called "treema"

[@bigscarysteve]

@@KatChatsFinnish It's a "treema" in Finnish, and a "trema" in English--although one rarely hears it called a "trema" in English. Rather, it goes by two different names depending on its function. If it represents sounds that arose from the phonological process called "umlaut," then the trema is called an umlaut. (The word "Umlaut" is originally a German word.) If it represents the fact that two neighboring vowels are not to be pronounced as a diphthong, then it's called a "diaeresis." For example, the word "coöperate" is an instance of a diaeresis usage in English. (The word "diaeresis" is originally a Greek word.) The mark over š or ž is called a "hattu" in Finnish, and a "caron" in English--although one will frequently hear it called by its Czech name "háček" in English. It is used in a number of Balto-Slavic languages, and a number of Uralic languages have adopted it into their orthography in an effort to represent those Balto-Slavic sounds which the Uralic languages lack.

Very good

[@marin_1441]

7:04 Is there any difference between halauatko and halauateko-te ? I am always confused between them (Anyone noticed the noise at time may be Sydney rubbing his ear or maybe paper rubbing to mic)

[@KatChatsFinnish]

You mean "haluatteko te" ? Haluatko is singular. So if you are asking one person: haluatko SINÄ omenan? = Do you want an apple? Haluatteko (te) is plural. So it's using the "te" form (= you in plural): haluatteko te omenan? = Do you (plural) want an apple? / Do you guys want an apple?

[@isaacwiebe7020]

do you need to already know vocab and sentence structure before starting italki??

[@KatChatsFinnish]

You can be a beginner! Some teachers also offer beginner courses so you can start from scratch with them!

[@rubietkx]

very nice

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Kiitos! :D

[@BelaBonnita]

How to make a yes no question in a singular sä using the verb nukkua?

[@Sarastus]

Weeell. Kind of a strange question to ask from someone... Technically "Nukutko (sinä/sä)?" could be used as "Are you sleeping?". Probably more used version would be "Oletko hereillä?" as in "Are you awake?".

[@suecf3459]

thank you. it’s very helpful. btw could you recommend some simple Finnish books? Like the storybooks that primary school students read 😂

[@KatChatsFinnish]

I know Miina ja Manu was popular back when I was a kid! Maybe you can browse the suomalainen kirjakauppa children's books to see what's there these days! www.suomalainen.com/collections/lastenkirjat

[@kimokimo60]

What if verb ends in consonant?

[@xionkale3688]

if no dot then no dot, thats how i remember them... i might be wrong...

[@Larjus]

Basic forms don't end in a consonant.

[@bigscarysteve]

Actually, it is possible to have Finnish words that only have the vowels "e" or "i" in them. This presents a problem, as those two vowels harmonize with all the vowels in the language--so if you want to append -ko/-kö (or any other suffix which has two forms) to such a word, which form do you pick? The answer is the form with "ö" or "ä" or "y." This tells me that the forms with the marked front vowels are the basic ones for suffixes and enclitics, and the forms with back vowels only exist because of vowel harmony.

How can I learn Finnish and speak it supre good. Answer me in 5 second.

Young Finland is now in Young Finland is now based in Myanmar.👍

[@boxingboy1040]

How about onko vs onks..how is that? Pls help us.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

That’s actually the same word so they mean the same. Onks is the spoken Finnish way (so more slang version) of saying onko.

[@robertthrelfall4820]

Kokoo kokoon koko kokko! Koko kokkoko? Koko kokko.

[@mylakrisgellado9201]

By the way, your videos help me to understand Finnish language more. I have been undergoing language training as of the moment for me to be able to work there in Finland and your videos really guide me to understand more the lessons on our modules. Kiitos!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

You can say only ”tykkäättekö” but in puhekieli it sounds more natural to say ”tykkäätteks te” And thank you so much for your lovely comment! I’m so glad my videos are helpful for you! And good luck with your langauge training :)
