Watch this video to learn how to use the epä- prefix in Finnish! The equivalent meaning in English would be un- (as in popular - unpopular = suosittu - epäsuosittu). It creates the negative state of certain adjectives. You can slap epä- in front of a ton of adjectives in Finnish and in this video I go over a few examples! Hope it makes sense xx

You should also make a video about the *"-TON/TÖN"* suffixes cuz they also mean the opposites *(or free from smth/does not contain etc etc)* if you've not already done.

I would have liked to see Kat attach this prefix to a word that has a triple-consonant cluster after the first vowel--just so we could see what sound changes are forced to occur as a result.

Estonian(language) is dialect to Finnish.. what do you think what is this word: JÄÄÄÄR? Well, let us split this word: JÄÄ = Ice ÄÄR = Edge, the edge of the ice( like a hole in the frozen water). ;) PS. Kat! ❤❤

the thing with italki is the pricing (for me). like 30 euro for 1h is too much for me since I seem to have an extremely underdeveloped brain, I am so fkn slow.. And if I book the cheaper option like 30min I feel the time pressure like : oh okay, now my slow ass brain need to get this shit in 30min or else Its a waste of time and money. I guess that the teachers set their own prices (?) but it would be nice if someone could have some halpahalli prices. But ill join the giveaway in and beg to Väinämöinen and Saku koivu that ill win. have a good day! xoxo. (also sorry for my bad english)

Yeah for a lot of languages you can find quite cheap pricing even only 5€ - but I think for Finnish since people can price the lessons themselves what they want they use Finnish pricing (getting a private tutor here in Finland would be around that price too online or off) they are basing the price off that. I guess language exchange is a cheaper option or finding someone who is volunteering to teach Finnish instead of trying to make a living off it :)

Could anyone explain the word 'epäilys'? (doubt) The word 'ilys' doesn't seem to mean anything...
@closetmonster5057
@closetmonster5057 9 ай бұрын
It's derived from the verb 'epäillä' ("to doubt") with suffix '-ys' (or '-us', depending the vowel harmony). I recommend to check out english language Wiktionary, there you can see how the Finnish word are derived and also how they are inflected.

@@jixxytrix1705 The suffix -'illä' (-'illa') creates frequentative verbs. 'Epä' is the Finnish equivalent of 'un-' in modern Finnish, yes, but originally it meant something like 'not' and is derived from the negative verb e- (ei, et, emme, eivät etc. ). 'Epäillä' is frequentative verb of 'evätä' ("to deny, refuse") (earlier form of 'evätä' would have been *epätä, so it's literally *epä ("not") + -tä (suffix that creates verbs)).
