Translating Finnish Songs #1 | Puhekieli Practice

This is a new fun format I'm trying out. In this video I randomly picked a Finnish song that you guys requested and went through it line by line. I think the most helpful aspect (of this song at least) is the abundance of puhekieli used in the lyrics. Makes for good practice for getting familiar with it! :)

Aurinko kajastaa aamuisin ja iltaisin horisontista -> sieltä tulee valokaje/valonkaje. Myös vedessä ne valoviivat on kai valonkajeita. Se on kai niinku taittunut valonsäde joka ei tule suoraan siitä lähteestä vaan näkyy sivusta. Silti vähän eri kuin valokeila joka tulee taskulampusta, mutta melkein sama. Ehkä keila on rajatumpi ja kajo laajempi; koko horisontti vs se taskulampun pieni ympyrä. P.S. valonkaje on myös se mikä näkyy ovenraoista jos viereisessä huoneessa on valot ja omassa huoneessa on pimeää/hämärää.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Kiitos tästä!

[@TheAwkwardFail]

I really like this idea! I'm not too familiar with puhekieli, so this is definitely a good way for me to learn how it is used. Kiitos!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

That’s great to hear, thank you so much :)

[@laurencethorn3429]

A few years late on this but I am just catching up on all your older videos, this video was SO useful, loved it

[@KatChatsFinnish]

I'm so glad to hear that :D

[@tombroderick7206]

Another interpretation of the song title would be "Don't Bring Me Down". Background: Summertime for Finns is the joyous counterpoint to the gloom and depression of the dark winter. There was a disagreement with someone the day before and the person she had that with is "harping on" about it all the time, and getting her down. The summer so far has already been half awash with rain and the attitude of this person is bringing her down even more. She can't ask the rain to go away but she can ask the gloomy other person to smile (turn up the corners of the mouth) and see the good things rather than harpi on about the past which cannot be changed. "Drop" in English is an active been and only the subject (the person doing the dropping) can do it. There proper interpretation would be "Don't cause the mood to fall" or, more succinctly, "Don't Bring Me Down" (i.e. create a bad atmosphere and make me depressed).

[@RhizanthellaSlateri]

Oh my gosh, kiitos! I'm currently learning Finnish on duolingo and realizing how different Puhekieli is from what they teach (so far?) was a bit disheartening--this video series will be amazingly helpful! Thank you again!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

I'm so glad!

[@EasyFinnish]

Terve kollega, mitäs kuuluu? Sä et kyl dropannu mun tunnelmaa. Tosi hyvä video ja loistava presentaatio, selkeä! Ilolla katselin:) on tärkeää opettaa kieltä jota suurin osa suomalaisista käyttää. Harvoin törmää ihmisiin jotka puhuisi kirjakieltä ka jos puhuvat niin se vasta droppaa tunnelman,haha!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Kuuluu hyvää xD Hahaha ja kiitos myös sun kommentista! :D

[@loekschreurs8461]

Thanks a lot. I think it makes a lot of sense when you explain this with the puhekiele!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

I’m so glad! Thank you :)

[@anhdongle5806]

it takes a lot of work and time to do this video. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Thank you so much, I’m really glad you appreciate it :)

[@BollocksRadio]

Nice idea, I hope it's not too late I have a couple of songs "Taikatalvi" and "Kuolema Tekee Taiteilijan" both by Nightwish. Cheers 🖐😊

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Def not too late! :)

[@eki16203]

I love one Finnish song titled Rafaelin Enkeli by Pekka Ruuska:(

[@danielepappalardo1810]

I think this kind of video is very useful to understand Puhekieli. Thanks a lot, I hope you'll make more of these! :)

[@sanni1057]

OMG I love VESALA

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Aw thank you so much, kiitos! I'm glad you enjoyed this video! ^-^

[@tonikaihola5408]

Valokaje comes from ”kajastaa”

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Ok thank you!!

[@TheArmourflame]

Thank you so much for this! It helped me a lot, especially when Finnish resources are relatively limited compared to other languages.

[@briansergeant]

I loved PMMP. So happy you’re translating one of Paula’s solo stuff.

[@matthewdunn6503]

Do more of these please. One of the most daunting aspects of Finnish for me is the difference between kirjakieli and puhekieli. Additionally, it's helpful to have an insider's understanding of slang and usage.

[@jillschenkel6041]

This past winter I fell in love with the video, CHRISTMAS STORY. I would love it if you would sing the last song to me in English! It is enchanting; yet I have no idea of the words! Or send a translation, pretty please!

[@eklu8731]

Great idea! Really educating :) looking forward for more !! Andd also i kinda have a suggestion (?) - maybe if u already said smth once, you dont need to repeat it several times, i mean, if the same words/phare is mentioned several times in the song, you dont need to translate it several times (like "mul on" was a little bit overused in this song ahah soo you could've just skipped it after secord time it appeared) Hoping what i wrote makes sense haha xx

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Makes perfect sense and I agree! Thank you for the suggestion! :D

[@Ilmarinen7]

Ahaaa! So happy you drew that one out! :D I thought the puhekieli would be fun/useful to get a better feel for how words are shortened (or stolen from English), and it's a happy-sounding summer song. Though the weather's gone cold again, but that's kind of what it's about anyway. Now I feel bad I didn't watch and thank immediately: Thank you so much for taking the time to do that! Smiling.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Thank you for leaving the suggestion! And no rush ever to watch anything haha, kiitos for your comment like always ^-^

[@Ilmarinen7]

Was reviewing - you're right about value of translating puhekieli of the song. Kiitos.

[@Ilmarinen7]

And now am grateful you ploughed through the whole song. You made it.

[@matthewpowell5130]

I really like this idea! I think your pace is pretty spot on for me. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of these kind of videos! Also, I'd like to request Sankarihauta by Moonsorrow to be added to the hat please! Kiitos paljon!

[@pnarciva9815]

İf I knew I could send my favourite songs too cuz I cant understand the song and even no lyrics existing on İnternet 😭

[@KatChatsFinnish]

You can just leave a comment of the songs you'd like me to cover and I'll add them to the lottery next time! :)

[@rebeccaknight4851]

Here we call floaties “waterwings” great idea and helps me understand how diverse Finnish is as a language, music always brings something special out in lyrics. I am also amused by how most of the song is weather commentary.... as they say, the #1 topic in Finland!

[@lukasdawosyr1871]

Wow didn't know about finglish word! That scare me a little bit 🥺 amazing video btw!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Well if you know English it’s pretty easy to spot those words :) And thank you so much!

[@freezedeve3119]

Finnish language can take almost any word and use it in Finnish form and with Finnish endings, everyone pretty much understand it if they know what original word means.

[@AJBonnema]

I like this video. I learnt a lot. Don't be afraid of tempo, because you write stuff down and I can pause the video when I need to. Very good! Very useful to see puhekieli translated to kirjakieli this way! P.S. If you are looking for improvement, add the essence of the song at the end of your analysis. I didn't know this song, and my latest impression is it's about dolphin's, which of course it is not! That was only one line, but being one of the last, it stuck .... EDIT: I just listened to the song. No need to add "essence of the song". It just is ..... a song. Thank you very much for your translations, I learnt a lot!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Hahah thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful and learned something :) the dolphin part made me laugh xD

[@powerpig99]

Just searched Google with the song title + lyrics and it showed the lyrics in Finnish and one click translation to English. It seems quite good comparing to you translation. You might want to check it out for next song.

[@NgocHan-gy8mz]

aah thank you, this is an awesome video, thank you so much for making this video with such valuable information. Hope to see more videos like this from you *insert a big heart emoji*

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Awww thank you so much! 🥰

[@spyrgelispyy]

The 'yhen' in 'mut yhen tiiän, jolta kyllä pyytää vois' actually means a person, not a thing. It is the same person she then asks to not come drop her vibe: "älä tuu droppaa mun tunnelmaa"

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Ohh okei ~

[@lex.mayy8]

Yay! Thanks so much!

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Kiitos! :)

[@lex.mayy8]

KatChats Finnish :)

[@user-zz5xr2ny7h]

Great,thanks a lot! Great video, but could you make it all, even explanations, in Fi-lang next time?

[@marcrubin8844]

Spanish and English, Spanglish is heard quite often in Puerto Rico. I heard people say Vamos a janguear..Which means lets hangout..The word janguear is taken from English which has been '' Spanishized'' the J in Spanish is pronounced as H..

[@wendysimpson9514]

Hi I would love to learn a couple very basic nursery rhymes. Please.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Ohh I like this idea ~

[@user-ir2no4hi3q]

Kiitos .🤔

[@lighght42]

Songs are good way to remember vocab, and now I know one, thank you for that :) I would like to get a translation for slower sung song by male singer, so it would be easier for me to sing along at first, but any popular song is good.

[@HappyShanie]

Yay! This is so cool, Ms. Katia😍🙌🏽

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Aw thank you 🥰

[@kftspss]

I looove Älä droppaa mun tunnelmaa! I love Vesala in general, she's such a cute and nice person

[@patrik4180]

Great idea to see and learn differences between kirja ja puhekieli. Please do more if you have the possibility.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Glad you liked it! :)

[@Bit-while_going]

I'm Finnic but I need a strong dose of deja vu before anything might come back. It certainly helps listening to your translations though.

[@katex6454]

can you please do langolieerit by lasten hautausmaa!!!! i been trying to looking for lyrics for the longest time

[@ludoromero5196]

OMG KIIIIIITOSSS ja ala droppaa mun tunnelmaa oli mun vaihto vuosi song!!!!

[@WAYT00Much]

Thank you!

[@cosimoleone9110]

More videos like this please, I love finnish music 😍

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Noted! :D

[@Elizabeth-so6zp]

This was so random. I was looking for finnish songs, and I came across this video. I clicked on it because... why not! Then I see the first song mentions Costa Rica which is where I am from and then I learnt there is something called Puhekieli, is it like a dialect?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Wow what a coincidence! I have a video that explains it in more detail, but puhekieli refers to spoken Finnish as opposed to the more "formal" Finnish that you see written down and spoken in more formal situations :)

[@helloimhellio]

Great idea! Congratulations

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Kiitos!

[@hottimatie7368]

Thank you so much to be honest

[@KatChatsFinnish]

I'm super glad! :D

[@jessinfinland1618]

*conditional form /isi *armbands /floaties

[@yasma5781]

Lol I'm in love with this song

[@kftspss]

Can you make a video requesting finnish songs (like easy understandable/translatable songs)?

[@kftspss]

Maybe include different genres! ❤

[@pnarciva9815]

okay I leave comment here ... and try to make logical choices because I know some of the songs I listen are dirty :D whatever my 2 of favourite songs for you to add to lottery are : 1 Mansesteri-kuolematon, and 2 Mansesteri feat Lassi Viljanen - Tarvin Aikaa

[@brokenheart1290]

Älä droppaa mun tunnelmaa mene nopeasti Pietariin kesällä = )

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Hahaha xD

[@janmohammadazimi5482]

Tosi hyvä

[@paulogomes1441]

reggae finnish too

[@ownejewsentxd9492]

Hei Finnish you have FINGLISH hey I am also in favour of kids rhymes d

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Oh good idea!

[@Emihasdreamstoo]

Colloquial finnish should be taught to finnish learners right from the start. There's no point in doing it any other way because literally everyone speaks colloquial finnish to some degree in Finland

[@eddietiller3162]

Do you think most Finns listen to Finnish or English music?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

I think a mix of both

[@jmtikka]

This FInn listens mostly to music in English or Jamaican Patwa or something in between.

[@spyrgelispyy]

Mostly English I'd say. Finnish gets more common the older the people are. Dying language ☹

[@haythamemara]

🙂🤗

[@adamvincek3693]

Puhu vaan Reino Nordin

[@powerpig99]

The title is so similar to what Elon Musk said one time: Don’t doubt your vibe and he make a song of it.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Oh really :o

[@spyrgelispyy]

Se on ihan vaan paahdin eikä mikään tousteri 😂

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Nii on hahaha, mut käytin sitä vaan esimerkkinä et joskus jotkut käyttää tälläsii Finglish sanoja (ainakin mun koulussa oli aika paljon tälläsii random sanoja) xD

[@ivanpetrov8275]

Одним словом, непонятно о чём поют.
