[@Jorani2]

Hei, can you made more video comparing between Formal&informal in Finnish language! Kiitos🙂

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Sure thing!

[@wilhelmsarasalo3546]

She seems to be doing that very symmetrically, which I think is great.

[@wilhelmsarasalo3546]

California Finnish here but what I recall repeating the verb was the original affirmative. "Sataako ulkona?" "Sataa" I think "kyllä" was an imported concept.

[@violettaplatar8341]

Kittoksia!! three comments here :) 1 in practice I have seen, sometimes, "joo" is also used as a sort of equivalent to, "let me see" ... people say joo when their mind is trying to figure out something and feel that expressing a sound buys them time, so they say joo. 2) sometimes people say both: joo, kyllä which would be "yes, yes", 3) and for no, they almost never say just ei ... they say something that sound like "ei o". I am trying to figure out that "o" sound.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Haha true true, there are a bunch of combinations eg joo ei = no, no ei kyllä = definitely not, and like you said joo kyllä = yes! I've never actually noticed this ei-o thing! :O

[@user-bf5fv3pi6z]

“Ei o”,”ei oo” and “ei ole” all basically mean “no it’s not” or something similar

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Ohhh I get what she means now!

[@pasiojala3227]

And there there's the "double positive" (sarcastic) form of "joo joo" (meaning don't try to pull my leg).

[@samuelj2475]

What about juu and joo?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

I did include joo, but not juu D:

[@samuelj2475]

I meant what about explaining the difference between the two. Oh! And there's ai niin, as well.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Ohhh it's just a regional difference :)

[@samuelj2475]

Which one is more commonly used in Helsinki?

[@findingsisu]

Kiitos

[@nurcanmasal6032]

Funny thing is, yoo (pronounciation is the same with joo) means "no" in Turkish.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Omg really xD Must be a bit confusing for you haha

[@EverydayMusician]

I feel better that I almost exclusively use 'joo' to say yes.

[@GsakhiN]

Very nice 👌

[@NidusFormicarum]

Both words might come handy when travelling and someone tries to jump into bed with you. :D

[@bennehboa9624]

Vere good

[@bbq1423]

Kyllä kylässä on kylmää

[@igor7851]

Kyllä = Yes; Joo = Yeah?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Pretty much!

[@pasiojala3227]

"On toki." = "Yes, certainly." "Pretty much." = "Jotakuinkin." = "Something along those lines." (I might be having too much fun thinking of nyances in translations...)

[@igor7851]

@@pasiojala3227 Does "Jotakuinkin" means "Pretty much" or "Something along those lines"?

[@pasiojala3227]

Either and both. There is no direct translation, so "Jotakuinkin" can be translated as 'approximately' (likimain), 'pretty much so' (aikalailla niin), 'more or less' (enemmän tai vähemmän), or any other way that means 'for all intents and purposes, but debatable if exactly that or just close'. With language it's also important to note that different people add their own connotations to words, so it's hard to know and carry over all intent and subtext. (I like wordplay in general, I hope these other ways to say the same or similar thing are remotely useful or entertaining.)

[@igor7851]

Thanks!

[@nikitai4834]

niin means no, right?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

+Nikita I Niin is more like well/so or can be used if you agree with someone but isn't exactly yes xD
