I hope I didn't confuse anyone, but for further translations just check out the description box! I put in all the translations and extra explanations there! :)

[@Anna-or1xd]

I freaking love your videos *u* like seriously, where I live there are no Finnish schools and all I have is internet, and your videos are really helpful! Thank you so much for doing this!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

+Mare F Aw this makes me so happy to hear! I'm so glad to help :) Thank you so much for watching !

[@AqareCover]

glad to hear you're back!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Glad to be back as well! :)

[@maricrissiren2770]

hhahaha! "ive been in Singapore too long" can relate to that I still keep saying dollars here, after years in SG . It's helpful to insert the puhelinkiele version bcos that's the reality , as a beginner level, when I listen to Finnish people using spoken version, I don't understand anymore, since my vocabulary is limited to written form. Keep it up ! you are an effective teacher :)

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Awwwww

[@christianklockner6596]

The Finnish numbers make so much more sense than the French ones! I mean in Finnish 20, 50 etc. aren't really like separate numbers like in English, Dutch or German, however I appreciate that Finnish is persistent in their way of naming them. :) e.g. kaksikymmentä = two tens; viisikymmentä = five tens; kahdeksankymmentä = eight tens, in French 20 has it's separate own name, 50 has too, whereas 80 is literally four twenties, and 90 is four twenties (+) ten, it's just super confusing, wish I could've chosen Finnish in school. :)

[@KatChatsFinnish]

+Christian Klöckner Oh gosh yeah absolutely ! When I did French in school it took me forever to fully understand those upper numbers 80+ xD

[@dvorak2676]

being also french, i 100% agree, finnish numbers make more sense ! though maybe having some special names for ...,50,60,... etc might be as useful for "safe understanding" as saying for example "delta tango charlie" instead of "DTC" in radiocommunications

[@mchobbit2951]

Now French numbers are annoying but using German and Dutch as a comparison as something that is "easy"? I went to school in Germany and those numbers haunted me as a kid. I forever wanted to write, say 112 for 121 because I'd hear 100 first, followed by the one, then the two. Being taught this whole concept of hundreds and tens and whatever only made it worse. I'll dislike the German number system forever due to that. Though English does have an easier number system than German, Finnish and French, this billion "short scale" vs. "long scale" thing where the whole English speaker world does it different than Europe? It drives me nuts. Using resources in English to learn, which are just more common, is extremely annoying because of this.

[@CatherineDupuis87]

/d/ and /t/ are the same sound, just that d is voiced. The voicing is added to make sadan flow better, most likely. Kind of like some /t/ and /d/ sounds in English are tapped or we pronounce a written s with a /z/ sound.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

+Catherine Dore Ooh thanks for the additional explanation! Helpful :)

[@thefury110]

I started studying Finnish about six weeks ago (coincidentally discovering your and several other Finnish youtubers videos about the language) and I would just like to say that your videos do indeed make grasping the basic concepts a vastly more attainable goal, and make the process of learning a new language a lot more fun in the beginning. Kiitos!

[@Anna-or1xd]

Mathew Durand Could you please recommend other channels about this language? I only know Katya's. Thanks in advanced.

[@thefury110]

Mare, of course! Off the top of my head, aleksihimself, is a good channel for it. He makes a variety of content about Finland, but includes a lot of language in his stuff. I'll think of some others that I watch and reply again.

[@Anna-or1xd]

Mathew Durand THANKS! :D

[@thefury110]

Another one (I can't seem to get a direct link to work) is "Aura's Finnish Lessons" Sorry that took so long! Good luck!

[@mariorestrepojcg]

MoI! ¡Hola! Es maravilloso el énfasis que haces en la pronunciación de las palabras que tú enseñas. Otros youtubers de finés y los profesores de idiomas deberían hacer lo mismo. ¡Gracias Katja! ¡Saludos desde Medellín, Colombia!

[@PS-ul6mt]

Awesome!! Kiitos. You make learning Finnish easy. 👍🇫🇮

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Thanks! 😃

[@dyllersen1167]

You should do Feelings like "Im feeling good/sad/ tired.

[@JohnWins]

Kiitos for the tips once again, Kat! Definitely using all those words in a few days haha! Have a great end of year and a lovely xmas! Moikka!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

+John Wins Happy to help! Kiitos so much for watching and have a lovely holiday season as well :)

[@heather0842000]

Im not sure if you have more videos about money in finland/finnish. Id like to have you tackle regarding how to read or count euroo/euroa, how/what to ask how much in finnish, reading price tags etc... kiitos kat!

[@sahriajahan1671]

I was looking for this kind of video...finally i get😌...take love❤️

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Thank you so much 😀

[@alexeirahamov5650]

"Sada" is something in Finnish. It's imperative form of "sataa"="to rain". So, "sada" = "Rain!".

[@suaptoest]

100 = sata , 200 = kaksi sataa. To rain =sataa , rain = sade

[@elderscrollsswimmer4833]

@@suaptoest Finnish: Voi voi, nyt sataa. Swedish: Smör, smör, nu hundrar det. English: Oh dear, it's raining./Oh butter it's raining/Butter butter it's raining/butter butter it's hundreds.

[@suaptoest]

Kiitos, Katya.

[@jacobsandhack414]

i love ur content

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Thank you :)

[@Distracted]

For some reason trying to pronounce the word euro like people in Finnish do causes discomfort in my throat, sometimes causing a slight gag reflex. I had the same problem when I tried pronouncing Peura. Hopefully it's just due to a lack of practice and not some health issue. Have you known any other non-Finnish speakers to have a similar problem?

[@1rsalc]

Another great lesson! Thanks for the link to counting 1 to 10. :)

[@FinBoyXD]

Sada is käskymuoto (imperatiivi) for the word sataa, so it does mean something.

[@ToxicPCB]

I think for clarity you should mention that the partitive case is used after numbers, euro>euroa, kymmenen>kymmentä, sata>sataa.

[@igor7851]

So, do you say sentti>senttiä or?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

+Igor Yep!

[@igor7851]

Cool, thanks... btw it was a lucky guess lol

[@ToxicPCB]

Also, seteli must be a borrowing from Swedish which uses the word sedel for banknote.

[@igor7851]

Cool... good to know

[@CsharpPreza]

I would like to clarify that "euroa" is not plural of "euro", it is singular but in partitive case, as it normally is when counting things. The plural of "euro" is "eurot".

[@ThisIsAlmondz]

It's like a pronoun, adjective, noun thing

[@Iviking11]

All of you videos are very helpful. Thank you. I am a member of several language learning sites where you converse with native speakers. The problem is no one contacts you back after you try to contact them. Trying to exchange languages with Finns seams to be impossible, but I'll keep trying.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Haha oh no, hopefully you'll find someone willing to interact with you soon :/

[@ΙωάννηςΠαπαγεωργίου-ι3υ]

Can you make a full episode about k-p-t phenomenon (kk-k, rt-rr, t-d....and e.ct.). NICE video by the way!!! Keep on.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

+Ιωάννης Παπαγεωργίου thank you so much, I can definitely look into it and try :)

[@ToxicPCB]

One could think of the difference between sata euroa and sadan euron is that the first is a noun and the second is an adjective which takes a genitive declension, correct?

[@izzardclips9350]

In Finnish, those words -what are they called, attributes?- that precede nouns almost always have the declension as the noun. A simple statement answering how many is an execption. 'Se maksaa sata euroa'='It costs 100 euros' BUT 'Ei se voi maksaa sataA euroa'='It can't cost 100 euros' I think sata is called a nominative case and sataa a partitive case. And yes, 'sadan' is a genitive case just like 'euron'.

[@elson.1990]

No worries if you confuse anyone because you just never do! 😉 You never confuse us because it is always very easy to understand your fluent English with a clear accent and your explainations are always clear as well! 👍

[@KatChatsFinnish]

+Elson CM That's so great to hear :D

[@elson.1990]

KatChats That's true. 😊

[@activatedcstudio1725]

Haha~did I just hear Singapore?! 😂 I am from Singapore and I am sorry our way of speaking has also affected you. Haha we like to mixed languages and coming out with our own rendition of Singlish. Thanks for sharing this as I may be travelling to Finland later this year and some knowledge of the language will help, though I must say is not easy to speak it. 😅

[@entwistlefromthewho]

The Finnish pronunciation of ‘Euro’ is the same as the Welsh! But Welsh spells it ‘Ewro’...

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Wow that's actually really cool!

Please tell me how you would say million in Finnish

[@e_1076]

Miljoona

[@Andrew-w2p]

+vien463 thanks. how do you pronounce it?

[@Ilmarinen7]

Harold good question. J is the same sound as Y in English. Also, double O means it's a long sound, like "orrrr" in English. So "MIL-yorrr-na". As I'm trying to do "say it in English", that's an English-like r in the quote marks, speaking that text Finnish you'd roll it and it'd sound very different. Y in Finnish is more like English "oo", but a short sound if only one letter. Some of the letter sounds are different in Finnish, BUT, once you learn them you can rely that that is how you pronounce them. None of this spoken word being different to written or silent letters that English has.

[@abuanchannel7961]

pls teach me ti saying like hellow good morning sentence

[@กังนิดิสทริบิวเตอร์]

mita....you live in singapore ?????

[@maksymfrantsuzov1338]

Oh no, viisi sounds like "visim" which means eight in my language (Ukrainian), so it's gonna confuse me :(

+Maksym Frantsuzov oh no! That's annoying D:

[@Xarmutinha]

Why euroa and not eurot?

[@PavelQuiteGood]

I like your old videos so much! 😄 Look at that rich girl: she has a 5 euro, a 10 euro, a 20 euro, and 50 euro! 😂😂 You did not tell about 'kymppi' and cents. 😢

[@buswajitdas7265]

& I love Finland

[@carloilocso2904]

Next time talk about things you can buy in finland with those money😄 I'm using a calculator throughout your video, finding out how much is every note in Philippine peso. 5€ = 280 pesos 10€ = 560 pesos 20€ = 1,120 pesos 50€ = 2,800 pesos 100€ = 5,600 pesos 200€ = 11,200 pesos 500€ = 28,000 pesos (and that's alot...) Here in the PH we can buy coffee for 5 pesos which is 0.0892857143 Euros. Haha. Kiitos!✨

[@KatChatsFinnish]

+Carlo Ilocso WOW 8 cents that's amazing :o Yes I definitely will have to expand on the topic :)
