Learn Finnish Verbs | Part 1 ⚫ 'Type 1 Minä verbs' | KatChats

[@KatChatsFinnish]

*CHANGE IN PLANS + SIDE NOTE* I said in the video this would be a two part series, but while editing I realized in order for my computer not to crash I have to further cut it up. This means in this video I'll only talk about the first conjugation (so the minä form) and the other two (sinä/hän) will be in my next video (that I'm currently editing!!) Thank you for understanding :) *ALSO* I said in the video this is the very basic verb conjucation - this means it refers to category type 1 verbs. (Yes, you heard that right, to make things more complicated there are 5 verb types! YIKES) but type 1 is the most common and the most basic one so a good place to start! Step by step folks ;)

[@davehenderson6125]

Thank you for this. I really enjoy your language posts (and all your other posts too - so many of your discussions are excellent) because you keep them "to the point" and well organized. This keeps them very informative without being overwhelming. I'm actually learning some Finnish, and so much of it is because of your hard work!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Aww thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoy the layout and can follow along well enough. That makes me happy :) And I'm glad you've been able to learn some Finnish, that's great! :D

[@catcatcatcatcat2]

I'm learning finish from several sources, and you are so far the only one to actually explain verbs and how they work, you do great and thank you

[@aspasion3283]

It's so good to see you're back! I've been learning Finnish like one year ago but then i stopped. Cause i was complicated xD i hope you make more videos about Finnish language so i can learn it easier by watching you. Thank you!❤❤

This was great! Kiitos paljon! 😄 I like the first verb type and it's all clear until the ,,KPT" changes get in the game 😅 like understanding them and doing on paper is fine but when it comes to talking, oh man the struggle xD And I'm really happy about your slow pronounciation and the way you emphasize the syllables for us! 💙

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Haha aww I'm glad you've been able to follow along xD And yes, I'm quite scared to do the KPT since I struggle to understand the rules myself haha. But I will definitely try and make a video about it !

The "basic form" is known as the infinitive.

[@gabor6259]

Not in every language though.

[@lianthony2983]

What about the stem? Is the stem and the basic form the same thing just wondering?

[@nio2078]

@@lianthony2983 the infinite or basic form she talks about is the stem with the 'infinite ending' a/ä seisoA but the stem here would be seiso where you can add up the endings. minä seison sinä seisot hän/se seisoo me seisomme te seisotte he/ne seisovat I hope that's right (: I'm also just learning for a month.

Hello! I’m Brazilian, and I’m really interested in getting to know somebody from Finland to find out more about the culture and the people. I’d love to make chat friends from Finland, or anywhere else, if somebody there’s interested in practicing English. My parents are French, so I know lots about Europe as well. Greetings from São Paulo!

[@holoholopainen1627]

Nice & Merci ! Have You ever heard of Finnish Baseball ( called Pesapallo ) ? There are many YT Videos to tell You the History of The Game ! It was an exhibition Game at Helsinki Olympics 40 - 52 but Australians - found the Rules too complicated at Melbourne 56 Games to carry on ! We have been drinking Gin Long Drink & Coca Cola since the Thanks to The Olympics !

[@vitornb4197]

That's awesome. Perfectly clear

[@__-ct9sx]

0:46 there are actually 7, minä, sinä, hän, me, te, he + passiivi (passive)

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Yep the passive, I didn't want to make things too confusing so left it out for now. Will ofc have to make a separate video dedicated to it :P

[@benfuller9009]

A great video; I am looking forward to the next sections. Using olla as an example is perhaps a bit confusing though because you didn't explain that it is irregular: minä olen, not minä olln! Also, please can you say the puhekieli forms as well like you used to do - eg. Mä oon etc. Thanks!

[@AB_Archives]

Olla isn't an irregular verb, olla is considered as a verbityyppi 3, every verb type conjugate differently. The video explains how to conjugate verbityyppi 1 in representative of Minä. I think olla is an example of stem verb not verbityyppi 1

[@benfuller9009]

Yes - what I meant was that Katya used olla as an example of an infinitive and then explained the conjugation of verb type 1: olla is introduced but not conjugated, so some might think that it is conjugated like type 1.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Oops I meant it as a basic form of a verb but yeah it's confusing since it's not in type 1 SORRY!

[@mindanaofwtutorialstoday]

Hi..is this korek if i use basic form? Mä haluan nukkua lisää.. I want to sleep more Or shall i say. Mä haluan nukun lisää?

[@brokenheart1290]

I rly like yours pisamat) . Also have a suggestion - How about to made some videos about difference in meaming of the words like pitää,täytyy or on pakko in way of 'U must/need to'. Or what about words which is means 'to know' but if it person it will be 'tuntea' and if it a book then 'tietää'. In Finnish a lot of thoose exaples and I'm sure a lot of ppl will find these useful thx )

[@AB_Archives]

To summarize the video. If the verb ends with two vowels swap the last letter with an N. Pretty easy right? One thing to note, in Finnish we don't have the 'ing' thing, example: I eat and I'm eating both would be 'syön'

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Great summary!

[@myname9523]

What about verb mennä? I am confused, should we add third n?

[@mindanaofwtutorialstoday]

Can you please reply the link if you have also have video how to use .verb basic form in a complete sentence... Because its so easy to inflect all the verb to personal pronouns..

I am re learning Finnish which I spoke as a child. Your videos are very helpful. Could you tell us about your own back ground? I ask because your English is so good. I feel a bit awkward asking but are you Finnish? Your English has an American accent and the cadence is so natural you really do sound as though US English is your first language. Thank you for putting up these videos.

I'm half Finnish/half American so grew up bilingual :) And thank you for watching ^-^

[@TheIdlesurfer]

@@KatChatsFinnish Thank you. I saw a video where you explained your background about 2 minutes after I posed the question, so now I feel silly! I am also half Finnish but brought up in England. I am a lot older than you and my Finnish mother was discouraged by well meaning people not to speak Finnish with me, as it would confuse me apparently. That is a huge regret as I know speak bad and ungrammatic Finnish. Your videos are excellent and I really thank you. I love your enthusiasm and clarity.

Turkish and Finnish are typologically very similar (they're both agglutinative). There are some theories that Finnish and Turkish are related, but most linguists don't believe this.

[@oguzhantekden]

@@harrycook9041 yeah I know theories and I believe them. Because Finnish and Turkish people are both Ural-Altai race and of course they are coming from the similar ancestors. Even some word are similar to each other. For instance: Men (Ben) = Mina, Sen = Sina

Hi Kat , i was looking you in italki couldn't find you.

[@bigrobbyd.6805]

Good to see you, kiddo! The "basic" form of a verb in many languages is the "infinitive", like "to be", "to drive", etc. Some languages, like Bulgarian, do not have an infinitive, so another form of the verb has to be used as their basic, or dictionary entry, form. By the way, keep it up! You're a great teacher!
