LEARNING FINNISH (Like a baby) | Feat. Cat Peterson

I thought it was time to learn Finnish like the best language learners in the world - babies. I got a 'baby book' and asked Cat to help me learn some Finnish!

[@ElliPullinen]

I love your faces when you’re trying to talk Finnish 😂😂

[@davecad]

It takes all of my concentration 😂

[@davecad]

Who thinks we should start a petition to add "tallon nom min nä tallininske" to the dictionary? It roughly translates to "I DON'T SPEAK FINNISH" hahah xD

[@sini74]

Dave Cad yes definitely!

[@Groof52]

Sounds good to me

[@11Mr_BeaN11]

😂

[@literallyclanker8470]

Good!

[@poweredbymoonlight9869]

yes do!

[@nenskye]

The important thing is to remember that in finnish, you emphasize the first part of the word. For example, instead of having the "weight" of the word in the middle like you said in the police part (poLIIsi), you emphasize the first part (POliisi). The same goes to basically every word in the finnish language!

[@davecad]

super helpful tip! Thanks :D

[@hemmuu1]

Yes, it's called the intonation! It's simple in Finnish! :) intonation always at the beginning of the word!

[@bror8228]

@@hemmuu1 Not always... KAIsta POikki.. poisTA KAikki...

[@annatalus8612]

Those conversations in Finnish😂😂😂👌 loved them!😂❤

[@davecad]

Haha... nothing like a bit of acting.... xD

[@davecad]

I'm replying to all comments :) Hit me uppppp yoooooo

[@pelastuskeiju93]

hyvä video! osaat hyvin suomea!

[@davecad]

Haha kiitos :)

[@karstanaattori3370]

This was so funny =DDDD Thanks Dave!

[@emmareijonen635]

U kinda made the :police is coming' sounds like a dish or foodthingy, but u have the cutest british Finnish acsent 😉🤓 #stillLearningEnglishMySelf

[@rasmus4337]

Suomi on maailman toiseksi vaikein kieli!

[@Kmortisk]

"Tämä on minun taloNI." Here I have for you a couple of other forms you'll be needing later on. :P talo, talon, taloa, talossa, talosta, taloon, talolla, talolta, talolle, talona, taloksi, talotta For example: Olen talossa. = I'm in a house. (Compare: Olen talo. = I'm a house.)

[@idonthavelife3621]

Kmortisk tälläistä se Suomenkieli on :D

[@lasseniemi6396]

LaamaTallinLaama _ nii

[@hrk2]

LaamaTallinLaama _ jep sellasta sekasortoo :D

[@digitalspecter]

Suomi mainittu, torilla tavataan! Mukava seurata edistymistäsi :) Inflections and suffixes may seem like a pain but there's a method in that madness :D and that's why we have a lot fewer root words to learn. So many words are derived. For examples: kirjain - a letter (of alphabet) kirje - a letter (of mail kind) kirja - a book kirjasto - a library kirjoittaa - to write kirjailija - an author kirjata - to keep record kirjasin - a font kirjuri - a scribe kirjoitus - a scripture etc.

[@davecad]

*runs away and never looks back*

[@11Mr_BeaN11]

I must add one to the list. kirjaimellisesti - literally 😂

[@digitalspecter]

Muahahaha :D You can do it! :)

[@pertpesc7058]

You two are the most sweetest ever. I cry and laughe. Super

[@unicornqueen9049]

I love your reactions when you get the words right! You look so genuinely happy and proud, like a little child 😄 Keep up, you are doing so great! And you make us Finns proud of our language 👍

[@sonjasilfver3349]

This is sooo funny and sweet! 🤣 Can't wait for the next part!

[@davecad]

Thanks Sonja :D

[@yoyoknickers77]

Awww - imo this was one of your most enjoyable videos. More of the same please! Baby needs to learn more Finnish! Cat, your face is so precious!

[@sepposavinainen2660]

Te olette kyllä ihan mahtavia! You are so amasing :D Näitä on niin hauska katsoa!

[@Midoriel]

This was really fun to watch! And it's nice to see you learn new words and get better at speaking Finnish. I'd love to see more videos like this!

[@davecad]

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@Schrei1995]

I like this type of learning finnish videos! I find it entertaining but also useful for you. I like how the words and sentences were ones that you can actually use when you’re in Finland. Also acting out a scene with Cat made this video fun and 10 minutes went reallu quickly. I would love to see more of this ☺️

[@davecad]

Thanks! These are a lot of fun to make and yeah, I learn a lot! Because of the editing, I hear everything over and over again so it's actually a really great way to learn

[@user-ek4fj7fc5u]

Please make more videos like this! I loved this!

[@sulosky]

Well done! Nice to see you're getting better like in every video.

[@davecad]

I thought I took a few steps back in this one, but I hadn't practiced in a while xD

[@spermaruutta]

Keep going Dave and Cat.

[@karoliina8744]

That was extremely fun to watch!!! You will get there!

[@davecad]

Glad you liked it! I hope so!

[@oliverstenbacka294]

This was sooo cute gl man you are doing better every video keep up the great work.

[@davecad]

Thanks! I feel like in this video I took a few steps back... but it was fun ^_^

[@jaekaelae82]

This was so hilarious, you made my day :)

[@jarkkos]

:'D that "kiva, kiitos" saved my day... So adorable!

[@raumkokit1401]

This is so great video!!! Please make another one 🤘🏻😂

[@davecad]

Glad you enjoyed it! Maybe we'll do another one :)

[@NamjoonsMoon]

Thanks for the video 😚I was searching for a baby book to start learning Finnish 🙌🏻I need to buy the one you have in the video

[@esra4311]

"tallon nom min nä talloninske" "TUTTELAFRUT" cannot stop laughing lmaooo

[@mantsuoo]

Haven’t laughed this hard in while 😂 you’re doing great though! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@PP-dr9yq]

This is so fun video! :D and I love all of your videos bc they are so positive (you are) and funny! Keep doing well!!

[@davecad]

Glad you like 'em and feel the positivity! :D

[@u2miner]

YESSS!! More of this please! :D

[@davecad]

Glad you liked it! :)

[@youngmorgan6799]

I dont know why but it made me smile seeing u2 togethet

[@aapeli9053]

That went a lot better than I expected. Thumbs up 👍

[@davecad]

Haha great! :D

[@Vildex]

This is your most fun video you've done for a long time, I laughed at the waters in the eyes

[@davecad]

Amazing! Glad you liked it! :D

[@Haikulapsi]

I'm always so proud of you when you try to learn this crazy language of ours, you're awesome

[@davecad]

Thanks! That means a lot! :D

[@noora242]

I feel like you’re learning so fast, but the mispronunciations every once in a while give me so much happiness for some reason! So proud of you Dave 👊🏻

[@davecad]

It's weird, I feel like I'm learning at a snails pace but I'm glad my mistakes bring you happiness! :D

[@troublebrewing2121]

I've been here(Finland) 22 years Dave and the language does come after a while :)

[@davecad]

Where are you from originally? And here's me after a few months like DAMN IT THIS IS NEVER GONNA SINK IN!

[@troublebrewing2121]

I'm from West London originally. It takes a while to get a grip Just use Finnish as much as you can and don't be put off! It's funny most (young) Finns will answer me in English anyway when I speak Finnish, they have a knack for knowing your accent is foreign :) If it's any consolation Swedish is still as foreign to me as the day I arrived here. Sorry Cat :)

[@nybergnicholas]

You are getting there Dave, thumbs up, keep it up. 👍

[@davecad]

Very, very slowly...

[@LauraLie3]

This is absolutely my favourite way to learn finnish haha it's just so much fun and I just wanted to let you know, that your videos are really useful for me learning finnish as well hahaha kiitos ❣

[@davecad]

Hey Laura! Glad I've got you along for this language learning journey with me! :D Glad the videos are helping ya!

[@idaelo]

I found your videos just a few months ago, and I'm sad I haven't found them earlier :D Dave, your are my favorite youtuber now! Keep going! P.s. You and Cat are so cute together :) P.p.s. Tee lisää Suomi-aiheisia videoita, olet hyvä tyyppi!

[@davecad]

Aw well I'm glad you found me, eventually! :D

[@elinarviiva2907]

This is exactly how it went down when was teaching Finnish for my Dutch boyfriend 😂 Nice job!

[@ttlbig]

Friends

[@Scizor03]

That ”poliisi tulee!” cracked me 😂😂😂

[@annik.6108]

You should try to make a video where you are trying to speak only Finnish!😍

[@davecad]

This has been requested a lot... I'm WAY off being able to do this, but one day!

[@jakiira180]

You did pretty good job again Dave :3

[@rosamariii]

More these! Laughed so much to the ”tämä on minun taloni” part 😂😂

[@davecad]

haha xD

[@Yupppi]

:D What a lovely video. Minä tallon - I'm stomping. Close enough!

[@olavitaal8778]

I'm doing this like you atm and i'm estonian so it is so much easier for me but.. thumbs up, Dave!

[@davecad]

That's cool! Yeah I guess there are some similarities in the two languages! Good luck with it! :)

[@elinal162]

Woow Dave! Osaat jo paljon suomea! Keep it going!! :)

[@davecad]

Kiitossss :)

[@Kmortisk]

You should take a look at finnish idioms if you haven't already. They can be quite hilarious.

[@davecad]

Nice! I'll check some out!

[@Tubby-jy2te]

Soooo funny, I can understand your frustration with sentences, I’m feeling it too 😂, another great post 👍

[@davecad]

Thanks! :)

[@gummel82]

Cat is so cute and beautiful! I really adore you dave! You're a lucky man

[@esteriinamaaria]

I CANT STOP LAUGHING 😂😂😂 best learning finnish video ever!!!

[@davecad]

I'm glad you liked it! :D

[@amelia7781]

You sound so cute when you speak Finnish!😊 And that's actually pretty good way to teach Finnish to someone when there are words and pictures, I should definitely try that with my boyfriend too! 👍 -Amelia

[@davecad]

I'm such a visual learner so this is great for me! Good luck teaching your boyfriend! xD

[@rolledude]

I just want to say I have enjoyed your videos, Dave, as I silently lurk and watch from time to time without commenting ever (introvert, hah). It's super cute of you to try and learn Finnish even though it's harsh language, as I say myself as a Finn. Cat sounds like Finnish, is she?

[@davecad]

Thanks a lot! Nice of you to leave a comment :) You're right, it is a harsh language! I'll get there! Yep, she's Finnish ^_^

[@tttanjjja]

I’m having blast watching this video it’s awesome :D

[@davecad]

+tttanjjja Glad to hear it :))

[@MsHummeri]

#cavedadgang

[@davecad]

Hell yeah 🤘

[@cetzez30]

#Yellheahgang

[@1312ara]

#luolaisäjengi

[@dallassukerkin6878]

I loved this :lol:. I have to say that I have thought that this might be a good route to restart my Finnish language studies i.e. getting some childrens books and learning from the ground up, so to speak :).

[@rupertmay3453]

it is such a good job that the fins speak such good english rock on !!

[@davecad]

Hahah so true

[@patriciazenteno480]

😂😂😂 I must confess that I also got me some children's books in Helsinki to learn Finnish 🙈 The Joey detail? Genius! 😂😂😋

[@user-ew6cu5mg4u]

More of these please :D

[@davecad]

Really?! xD

[@user-ew6cu5mg4u]

Dave Cad Yeeeees this was so funny :D

[@poweredbymoonlight9869]

I wish we had this book in junior school on our finnish lessons! That book seems really good!

[@davecad]

Yeah! It's pretty good

[@davecad]

Yeah! It's pretty good

[@alexi.e.roivainen]

I was born speaking finnish fluently but I've lost a big part of it. Seeing you inspires me to learn the grammar and such again. Mvh Alexi from Sweden

[@davecad]

Great stuff Alexi! :D

[@eevastiinaahonen744]

Mahtavaa!! 😆👍 Hyvin meni!

[@davecad]

Kiitosssssss :D

[@WertyeC]

This was so cute! Hyvää työtä! :D

[@davecad]

Thanks! :)

[@invisibleunicorn3337]

Tämä on minun kommentti. Keep on learning Dave, well done. :)

[@davecad]

I'll try! xD

[@rempseaheinamies9414]

This is how you make learning cute.

[@thekommentoija]

I just love watching your videos :)

[@davecad]

Aw i'm glad! :)

[@IgorValar]

as a finn i find these vids kinda funny especially when u speak finnish u sometimes say letters as in english it is very funny to hear as a completely finnish guy =D

[@sushikissa7777]

I had the same book, but with swedich words when I was 6

[@OonaVihantolaaa]

Those actings were so funny😂

[@davecad]

Funny/Cringey haha

[@OonaVihantolaaa]

Dave Cad yeah 😂 I actually had an english version of that book when I was little so it was kinda nostalgic to watch, remembering how I tried to learn english hah!

[@pitsanleikkaaja]

You are best!!!

[@davecad]

[@riinape]

This video was super funny 😁

[@princeyalex2]

8:41 Nailed it :D You're getting better though! Soon you can just pop a random conversation in Finnish! Maybe you should suprise Cat by randomly saying something in Finnish to her every now and then? Like just a Finnish word, like all of a sudden you'll just be like: "Ruokakauppa."

[@suvi1983]

Your pronunciation is really good. Love your acting too. Maybe you should make a career out of it. You could star in a movie with Cat. I'd pay to see that.

[@davecad]

Don't tempt us... xD

[@11Mr_BeaN11]

Dave Cad of course you must write the script by yourself. 😃

[@suvi1983]

Has to be an action movie. That bank robbery scene was so convincing.

[@Susirajantakaa]

Check out books: "Hardwick's Sauce: eli Neilin Tähteet" by Neil Hardwick and "How to Marry a Finnish Girl" by Phil Schwarzmann. + of course Fingerpori-comics in english :)

[@davecad]

I've actually been given "How to marry a Finnish girl"... It's sat on my shelf, kinda scared to read it until we get married 😂

[@Susirajantakaa]

Ok, time to man up and read the book then :p

[@Qvefjo]

Goooood Dave ! Go Dave Go ! Sinä opit hyvin Suomi ja Ruotsi, usko vain !

[@davecad]

🤘

[@kalapenaali]

Oi luoja! This was so cute

[@ikerdelpalacio5160]

This video was fucking awesome and you two are just lovely! Greetings from Bilbao!

[@davecad]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PrototypePatrik]

Haha brilliant Dave👌

[@simokoistinen7470]

4:43 Cat's face when you actually didn't go to café ;D

[@hhelmiinaa]

This video was so funny! Loved it :) By the way, are you still learning finnish with Worddive?

[@davecad]

I am! There'll be a video next week :)

[@hhelmiinaa]

oh that's nice! :) I am using the same program to study swedish :)

[@ImAnnu78]

Such a beautiful couple, and very talented ones ;)

[@Inskyz]

6:12 make this a movie!

[@royc9259]

At the one point i heard that you said (Minä taloni tallon) which is: i am gonna crush your house. Ty dave you made my day 🤦🏿‍♂️😍

[@matofako1]

you two make a great couple....funny vid

[@anastasiabeaverhousen3261]

Torilla tavataan! You are good!! ❤️

[@slowpudda]

I love you Dave and cat too

[@davecad]

We love you too!

[@jopinjo]

En tiedä miksi nämä ovat niin viihdyttäviä. Kai sitä oppii jotain suomalaisuudesta itsekkin näiden myötä :) Keep going! You should try "maakuntamatkailu" next summer, and make videos about that. Thumbs up!

[@davecad]

Thanks for the tip :) I'll check it out :)

[@helenakoivisto4459]

I like very much! You are so good in Finnish.

[@davecad]

Thanks! I'm doing my best :D

[@mifu8140]

does it make easier say finnish words when you move your eyebrows?

[@davecad]

100% easier xD

[@TheFin30]

Going on Canary Island on monday, you have to experience that too

[@davecad]

Nice! Enjoy!

[@Sabinaaaish]

Loved this video! ^_^

[@davecad]

Glad to hear it :)

[@nurzi85]

Nää on niin hauskoja! :)

[@janne_kekalainen]

As a Finn, this is so hilarious to listen to.

[@olispaamv]

Hyvinhän se sujuu! You'll be making a full video in fluent Finnish in no time 👍 Tsemppiä! + you two are seriously relationship goals.

[@davecad]

Haha as long as "no time" means MANY YEARS xD

[@11Mr_BeaN11]

Dave Cad they said in no time, I said I have no time. So how long time is 'no time'? 😂

[@juliapeltonen827]

I really had fun watching this especially cause i’m native finnish😂😂

[@davecad]

Glad you had fun Julia! :)

[@meikusje]

You should try From Start to Fin(n)ish by Leila White! It's been my favorite course book so far.

[@davecad]

Cool! I'll check it out!

[@Jokipala]

You are taller than i thought when i saw you at the airport going to England this week, have a good year 2018!

[@davecad]

Haha yeah, I get that a lot xD

[@ainadt1]

hahahahaha you guys are so funny hahah! Make more videos like this !

[@davecad]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@Sinii41]

I love you. These videos are so funny!!!

[@davecad]

Glad you like 'em!

[@Hnzuu]

There's already a "Learning Finnish like a toddler" or something like that. Maybe you should collaborate! 🤣 I could see you communicating with a 2-year-old, haha!

[@masupukkinasu]

Has anyone ever showed you a list of finnish grammitical cases (the endings to words like -ssa, -lla, -aan, etc.)? I think it could help you understand why and how words change as they do. 😊

[@11Mr_BeaN11]

Inka Tuomainen sijapääte on englanniksi suffix. 😊

[@masupukkinasu]

Mikko Haapakoski Nopeesti vaan googlasin ku ei ollu hajuukaan mut asia tuli vissiin selväksi 😂

[@Petryyys]

Omg u r good student! Keep it going! :)

[@davecad]

Haha really? I thought I sucked xD
