Learn Finnish by listening! Numbers

Numbers are always hard to learn in a new language, and in Finnish we have many modifications depending on in which situations they are used. Hopefully this video clears things up for you!

Kiitos paljon! Very useful! Always trying hard to understand what the cashier says when I pay for my groceries but still struggling with it!

[@marijavelickovic8740]

Thank you so much for this! I had a good laugh as well, quick counting sounds a bit funny 😄 kiitos paljon! 💛

[@finnished]

I know! :D You don't really think about it when you speak, but it really does sound funny!

Oh! Okay cool, super helpful to know these double-shortened numbers... haha

Excellent video. Thanks.

Ooo tarvitsin tämän videon! The short numbers can be confusing but I understand that it's faster to say them.

Moi! would you mind preparing a video about complimenting in finnish 😄

[@finnished]

Moi! Sure, can you be a bit more specific: in which situations, with whom etc. :) thanks!

[@kayaisbilen4341]

Well there can be more creative sentences :) but since we are begginers so starting with the basic ones wouldn't be bad, how about praising someone's acts, complimenting on food, someone's hair,dress,smile, behaviours or after getting something special, gifts etc.. even how to flirt😄 kiitos!

[@finnished]

This will be a funny one, because as you might know, Finns are not very big on complimenting :D I'll explain everything in the video!

[@kayaisbilen4341]

i guessed so, that is why i asked that:D i will be waiting, your videos are quite informative and clear intonations so we will get familiar with how finnish sounds by watching them, thanks:)

He told me he was between 8 and 9 years old - "Se sanoi mun, että se kävi yheksättä". Is that correct, please?

[@finnished]

I would translate it like this: Se sanoi että on iältään kaheksan ja yheksän vuoden väliltä. However, I find the sentence quite odd because no one would say that at least in Finland - they would say they are '8 years old' or 'almost 9'. If the age gap was bigger, let's say 20-25, I would say: Se on noin 20-25-vuotias ("kakskyt viiva kakskytviis -vuotias").

I don't have one, I didn't think anyone would like to pay for these and it was always meant to be free of charge :) But thanks!!
