About the long vowels and long consonants versus the gluttal stop. When you say uh-oh you truly make a gluttal stop, which means that after the uh you make a hard stop before starting the oh part of uh-oh. However, for a long vowel or long consonant this is not the case. You do have a pause, but without the stop. So the double el is just held longer. I often record languages to put the native sound on my flash card (for memorizing words) using an audio tool, and I can see in the audio that I play back, that there is a real pauze. The way you hold the 'el' shows a definite pauze, but no stop between the two 'el' occurrences. The trick I learned in my course is to say the 'el', hold it (this is the pauze). If you listen closely to the way you say a long el, you will find that you push your tongue up at the first 'el', then you hold it (pause), and only then do you drop your tongue to finish the 'el'. Well, long story, but hope it helps, someone, somewhere.

I've never really been interested in learning Finnish and I've studied a lot of languages, including American Sign Language. This has changed after just watching a few of your videos. You make learning Finnish fun, interesting and delightful. There's no work any more because you make learning Finnish fun. How is that possible? You have a gift!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

That's seriously so nice of you to say, I really appreciate it!

That's how I remember the name for June, kesäkuu. It's the month when summer starts, at least in the northern hemisphere. I'd love a video on words like: anyway/anyways, however, nevertheless, in any case/event, so, well, i.e., words used in conversation to start sentences/statements. The little pause in uh-oh is called a glottal stop. I wouldn't call the ää the same thing. It's just a long vowel.

[@andreballon7362]

How do you remember ?

[@wanjirukinuthia5097]

Thank you so much

[@davidromanis6151]

The best advice I ever had for pronouncing the "y" sound (which is similar to the u-umlaut sound in German or saying the letter "e" in French) was to round your lips and try to say "ee" while your lips are in the rounded position. Your tongue moves closer to the front of your mouth when you try to say "ee" than when you say "oo" and you get the "y" sound. Hope that helps anyone struggling :) Now... onto pronouncing "löyly" ;)

[@gatadedospatas]

oh wow, it works! I struggled a lot with the German ü and I heard before this advice of rounding your lips and try to say ee, but the "tongue moves closer to the front of your mouth" piece of advice was missing, so thanks @davidromanis6151

[@Dabikun89]

Moi! I know my comment is a bit late, so I hope you notice it. I discovered your channel just now, really well done and nice to watch! I have a question about what you say around 7:00 (nobody else seems having noticed it, if so, I'm sorry). In the first example sentence, you say "Keväällä lumi sulaa", then you say "keväällä lunta sataa". Why in the second case you used the partitive (I guess?) and the nominative in the first one? Or, if I am not getting it right, could you just explain why the two words for "lumi" are declensed in a different way? At the moment, deciding how to change nouns according to the sentence type is my biggest difficulty in Suomi. Kiitos!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Really good questions which I can't really answer properly unfortunately. I'm still trying to understand the grammar aspects myself, which is why I haven't made any detailed videos on the topic yet. I've been thinking about this question for a while now and googled it and no Finnish site has any info on it either xD I can try though: So lumi is the basic form of the word. Lunta is the partitiivi form of the word. I tried thinking of other similar kinds of sentences and also with the word "vesi" which works the same way. So eg it would be "Talvella vesi jäättyy" (In the winter water freezes) but also "Keväällä vettä sataa (In the spring it rains)" -> so same change happens there. Keväällä vesi kiehuu/virtaa/haihtuu (In the spring water boils/flows/evaporates) all the verbs I can think of to pair with the noun water, the translation would be "vesi X" So the conclusion I came to, is that it must be a special case where the verb "sataa" would have a partitive case before it. "Rakeita sataa -> it's hailing" . But this is just a guess, if anyone has an actual explanation feel free to chime in :)

[@valeriaaprelskaya]

and as Sannin song 'hei kevät' ) as for me suomen kuukaudet easy to learn cos each of them has own meaning like joulukuu --- from joulu(cos Christmas in december) and it helps to remember them all (in november we have marras weather so marraskuu ...) becouse of this associations.

[@mrwhiskers8951]

:) Hyvin tehty! You will do great things Kat, I'm sure of it. What was your favorite thing about psychology? I enjoy learning how others minds work too, I ask to many questions. Yes, I've been thinking about going back to college. but the same reason I wish to study neuroscience, is the same reason I would never make it to the PhD finish line. I have A.D.D and It takes a certain amount of mental focus to maintain my Jedi consciousness.

Well in Finnish it’s quite effortful to say the K very harshly so when speaking people tend to say it like that because its easier. And the G sound in Finnish is a bit more G than how I said the K in the video if that makes any sense xD so in Finnish it still sounds like a K
