When I was a young man I was intrigued to learn that Finnish is one of the few languages spoken in Europe that does not belong to the Indo-European Family of languages. That was more than sixty years ago. Now, thanks to your contribution, I have made a tentative start at learning some Finnish though there is not a huge demand for it in Northern New South Wales, Australia, where I live. Thank you for your efforts. I appreciate them tremendously.

I have lived in sweden about 50 years and in finland 9 years as a child. Finnish is easy for me because i listen to Finnish music and the finnish spelling system are so locical and you always say the letters like they sound in the alphapet. Finnish are an Uralic language and came as a written language when Michael Acricola translated the Christian bible to finnish. Uralic languages have existed at least 10 000 years some say. A part off the Finnish people came from Ural , therefore the Uralic connection. I can make Finnish diffecault for you. When you understand what this mean you have a good skill. Älä kantete sitä kanteletta ja kantele siinä..Kantele= a instrument you play. Kantele also to lie.Kantaa to carry something. If you understand this you have a good skill.Mitä tapahtui kun Jerry Lewis ja Tauno Palo ajoi autokolarin?Taunon auto palo ja Jerryn levis.

I spent just a week i Finland in.2010. As my friend drove me from the Airport to her home in Espoo the duplicated Road signs made a huge impression on me. First in Finnish then in Swedish. I was informed that as one gets closer to Sweden the order of the languages changes. Yet as we drove east the Swedish signs disappeared.

@wardeni9603 7 жыл бұрын
+Denis Matthews That's because the language of the road signs is dictated by the dominant languages in every individual municipality. If Swedish is the more common language in a municipality, the signs will be primarily Swedish with a Finnish translation, if Finnish is more common, then the signs will be in Finnish with a Swedish translation. If the municipality has something like 98% Swedish speakers, then the signs will only be in Swedish, and if the municipality has pretty much only Finnish speakers then the signs will only be in Finnish. Why all the signs can't be in both languages, I don't know. I don't think anyone does.

Coastal provinces from southeast up to Kokkola/Karleby level in north are bilingual, so all road signs are in both; Finnish and swedish. In counties where swedish-speaking population is dominant those signs are first in swedish, then in finnish. Helsinki metropolitan area is in Uusimaa province (swedish: Nyland) and in the coast so all the street signs are bilingual. You can often hear especially the older people speaking swedish, their native language in the public in Helsinki. Both Helsinki and Turku (Åbo) have significant finland-swedish minority and many small counties around Helsinki metropolitan zone are dominantly swedish

There are swedish road signs because Finland have belonged to Sweden nearly 700 years, lot off people forget that.Sweden lost Finland to Russia in a war about 200 years ago.Finland get liberated from Russia about 1917. Stalin try to take over and invade Finland in a war about 1939-43 but did not succeed .

I feel very lucky to be Turkish. We can say all the letters you mentioned: Å=Oğ , There is not Å in Turkish Alphabet but we can say it. I can read Ä as Â. There is not Ä or  in Turkish Alphabet but the letter  is often used to pronounce foreign origins in Turkish. The letter  is not in our alphabet, but we can read it. Also there is Ö in Turkish Alphabet(as 19th letter of Turkish Alphabet). Also as other letters: There is Ç,Ğ,İ,ı,Ö,Ş letters in Turkish also there is not W,Q,X but we can say them so I feel very lucky myself as a vocabulary. Since I can pronounce many letters from the Middle East and European Geography, I don't think I will encounter any problems in the alphabet pronunciation training part if I start learning a language. But of course there will be an accent problem as a natural.

The Finnish Öö is literally the English vowel found in the word 'air' which is [e] but with rounded lips. So pronounce the word 'air' (non-rhotic - no R sound) and then round the lips - you'll shift from [e] to [ø]. Finnish Öö is [ø], basically.

It's close - but not exactly the same. The place in mouth is different, even the manner of forming it, and these are the criterias to define a vowel. Maybe the English don't hear it close the same? People have a tendency to hear the vowels of another language as one of their own, coz with vowels, the mouth is kinda fully divided between them. There's 'no space' for new ones. Except when sound changes take place, but such things last years, a few generations. Now in Australia and some British dialects the vowels are about to change again, they sorta 'shift', the whole setting moves. It has happened already once, before that English had similar vowels as all the other (European) languages. 'I' was sometimes said like 'ee', and eye, as ay+e (e of bEt, like be'). Though using that English vowel sound in EArth, wOrd, gIrl, bUrn, hEr etc. will work just fine for the Finnish ö.

In Portuguese we have â, ã, á, à, ç, ê, é, í, ô, õ, ó and ú. These are not considered separated letters. Instead, they are variants of the letters a, c, e, i, o and u. The hardest ones are ã and õ. The Estonian language has õ too, but the pronunciation is totally different. Here in Brazil, we have the word "pão", which means "bread" in English. Many foreigners find it hard to pronounce the 'ão' sound, so they say "pau" instead. And, here in Brazil, "pau" is a piece of wood and it is also means "dick".

In Turkish we have the ä sound but we don’t have a specific letter for that and it’s just represented as “e” when it’s followed by n, l and r because that’s when it usually replace the regular e. So since it’s an assimilated version of e, they didn’t create a specific letter not to complicate the orthography. For example, Turkish “sen” (you) is actually pronounced like “sän” in Finnish but when it’s “seni” (direct object of you) it’s pronounced with a regular “e”as it’s written as “seni” in Finnish because the syllable no longer ends with the “n” sound so it’s not assimilated. But this sound would never be at the end of the syllable like minä so that’s a bit challenging. But the other central asian languages like Kazakh and Turkmen have this sound on its own and they spell it as ä too.

I remember my mum trying to teach me how to pronounce ö, except it was something my dad taught her and she thought that she could teacher her 5 year old daughter before moving to Finland, except she had a very distinct and strong Australian accent, so she made a very STRONG gagging sound and described it as vomiting almost like how you said it. So for my first few months in Finland, I'd end up embarrassing my dad by sounding like I was vomiting in public while trying to speak Finnish. He had to tell whoever I spoke to that I was born in Australia and just recently came to Finland... I still struggle with prouncing it XD

The easiest way to explain ö to English speakers is to tell them to make the sound "e" as in "bet" (sometimes called "short e") and to round their lips while they say it.

Places, street names etc. don't always have to be written in both Finnish and Swedish, only in cities and municipalities that have two official languages. If you go inland, everything is usually just in Finnish. Of course in practice, even the places that have two "official" languages, usually are bi-lingual only on paper, not in reality so much. On some of these cities Swedish is not even among the TOP3 spoken languages! Yet it is treated like it was widely spoken. This is due to corruption related to "Swedish speaking money".

As a native Dutch speaker, ö is easy to pronounce, but I'm having trouble pronouncing ä because it's not quite the 'e' you would have in, say 'ethnic', but in my head it's close enough, which means I can barely tell ä en e apart.

I like the video, it was helpful to me as an English speaker to hear the sounds and be able to see what your mouth was doing. It could be helpful in future videos to perhaps explain what your mouth is doing. For example, with Ö : I found that if I say an English A like in hat then keep my tongue the same while making an o with my lips, I was able to get the sound of an Ö. So just trying to suggest that as a teacher, explanations like that and being able to see what your mouth is doing, could be even more helpful to your students. Keep up the good work! I.M.H.O. it's the vowels of a language that are the trickiest, but most important.
