What is Polar Night | A Brief Explanation kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoWTn6qehbeFodk

[@rasseranch9393]

Hello there. Just a few tips about letters in Finnish. I understand it's easy to mistake Ä with A because many languages use dots to indicate intonation. However it's not the case in Finnish. The letter Ä is a different letter than A. The sound Ä makes is one that exists in English. Ex, cat, hat, bat. So Finnish would write those as kät, hät, bät. The A sound makes a sound more common in British English. Ex, Car, Mars. You wouldn't think of Y and U as the same letter because they look different, but actually the Y sound is written as Ü in other languages such as Estonian or German. So A Ä O Ö U Y are all different letters with different sounds.👍

Urho Kaleva Kekkonen was Finnish president for 25 years. He was an autocrat, firmly believed that he was the only one that could fix problems. He was half right and did keep Finland safe during his tenure but also suppressed press freedoms a bit. It was never full blown dictatorship, people didn't disappear and you were free to say what you wanted but blacklisting was a thing; journalists and writers who revealed too much suddenly could not find anyone to publish them. As close to a "benevolent dictator" as you can get, really. So, our relationship with his legacy is controversial: as long as UKK was in power, Soviets treated us very nicely as he was trusted in Kremlin but Finland was less free than we wanted. He did a lot of "sauna politics", taking Russian diplomats to the Presidential sauna and threw water to the hot stones as long as it took to make a deal... On the other hand, very much old school cool, and on the other hand, an autocrat. He was senile the last years so he did hold on to the power far too long... and did a "soft coup" once to keep it (election shenanigans in the parliament, we used to have the US model of electors who voted the president, now it is straight up popular vote).

Ä and Ö are their own letters. An Ä is not "an A with dots" anymore than an R is "a P with an extra leg" or an h is "an n with a stem".

[@lunchtimee]

GO OFF SERIOUSLY GO OFF 👏👏👏👏 SO TRUE

[@JoonasD6]

Eeeeeh, a little more linguistic detail. "A with two dots" is indeed a "silly" shorthand for describing the letter instead of using the sound it is trying to represent (remembering as well, that even in Finnish there is no 1-to-1 relation between sounds and single letters), but the conventions in typography are a bit different. Legs and stems are continuous parts of the main glyph, but the ¨ (diaeresis, trema) are separate, unconnected additions or diacritics which have some standard way of modifying the function of the main part. There are in fact multiple uses for that notation, "two dots above the letter", a well-known one being the German umlaut, which modifies a back-vowel (your tongue being in the back of your mouth) to a front-vowel (tongue moving forward). (It might replace some old historical notation such as writing a combo ae as ä, hence reducing the instances of combinations of letters referring to a separate phoneme/voice.) In that sense A is the clear originator of Ä, and O is the original form of Ö. That being said, it is often contested if those are letters on their own right, i.e. how many letters exist in the official alphabet. While in German the idea of a transformation is more prevalent, Finnish has more clearly thought of ä and ö (and å which has a different diacritic) as their own distinct letters.

[@juha-petrityrkko3771]

Ä, Ö, and Å are shorthand forms of AE, OE, and AA respectively. The latter letter was risen on top of the former and eventually degenerated into dots and circle.

[@moges720]

There is already an A and if there were other “R”s one would have said a “P with extra leg” your logic is flawed.

The joke on school & beer is that they are presented under the same catch phrase, "be ready to school !" . Thus it can - mistankenly - refer to the pupils or the parents to buy beer for the beginning of the school, turning it to a unintentional joke or pun. The moominmeat is a reference to both of the cheese and Moomin being of white colour, soft looiking and plump. There actually is translation on the corner of Katos, katos katos. Look, the shelter disappeared ! It is based on colloquial language, formal being Katso, katos katosi.

[@HerraTohtori]

To explain the "Näinkö väärin"/"Nainko vaarin" joke, you kind of need to be aware that while the words look similar besides the umlauts (the dots on ä's and ö's), the basic form of each word is different in those two sentences, to such an extent that the latter two words are not even in the same part of speech (or type of word). So let's go through each of the words, their basic forms, and what their conjugation means. Buckle up... First sentence structure is PREDICATE - ADVERB. Second sentence structure is PREDICATE - OBJECT. The subject in both sentences is omitted, because it is implied in the conjugation of the predicate. This kind of omission of the explicit subject is pretty common in Finnish language. In the first sentence, the first word's basic form is "nähdä", or "to see" in English. "Näin" is the singular first person past tense form that combines the meaning of subject, so English translation would be "I saw". In Finnish the subject is encoded into the predicate so while it's possible to say "Minä näin" (I saw), the exact same meaning is preserved with just "Näin". The "ko/kö" particle transforms the verb into a question word, so "Näin_kö" means "Did I see". However, the same particle "ko/kö" is sometimes described as a polite imperative, like if you asked someone to pass you the water on the table, you would say "Saisinko vettä" which technically is a combination of question form and conditional: "Saisin" is "I would get", "Saisinko" is "Could I get". Second word's basic form is "väärä", which means "wrong" or "incorrect", which is an adjective. But "väärin" is an adverb which describes the way of doing something. So, "Näinkö väärin?" means "Did I see wrong?" but the more literative meaning would be "Did I see incorrectly?" On the second sentence, the first word's basic form is "Naida", which in the context of this sentence means "To marry". "Nain" is the singular first person present form (or past, since in this case they are the same...), with the same meaning as "Minä nain" but with the explicit subject omitted because the implied subject is again encoded in the conjugated predicate verb form. "-Ko" -particle at the end is technically of the same question form as in the first sentence, BUT in this case the tense is different and that changes the meaning. Finnish language does not have a specific tense for future, but if you use present tense with a question/conditional imperative form, that can have the same meaning as future tense would in English. So "Nainko" could be translated as both "Do I marry" or "Will I marry" or even "Should I marry", which was the translation used in the memes in this video and with the context I agree with that translation. The second word's basic form is "vaari", which is one of the possible words for grandfather, others being pappa, paappa, ukki, taata, or äijä (the last two being quite archaic and not commonly used). "Vaari" actually derives from Swedish "farfar", which means literally "father's father". So, translating it as "Grandpa" is by itself correct. However, it should be noted that "vaari" can also mean an old guy in general, and even if it refers to someone who is a grandfather, it does not automatically mean the speaker's own grandfather. Now, "vaarin" is technically the genetive case of the noun "vaari", but in the context of the sentence structure it is the object, rather than subject. So, "Nainko vaarin?" should probably be translated as "Should I marry a grandpa?", but because "Nainko" could also be in past tense, it could also be translated as a direct question, or "Did I marry a grandpa?" As a bonus, the same form "näin" can also mean "like this", like for example if you're showing someone how to do something you could say "Tee näin", which means "Do it like this". And the person being taught could then ask "Näinkö?" Which would mean "Like this?" However, in the context of this sentence, this isn't one of the possible meanings, and that's something you kind of just know when you read the full sentence...

[@LunarisArts]

A couple of tips for learning a new language, when you got some words and grammar in. 1. Learn the spoken language first. As children we learn that way, and is easier to get in. Listening to the radio and tv, and imitating their speech. This was how I taught myself english as a child, and later Norwegian. 2. If you have Finnish friends, have them talk to you in Finnish, and you reply in English. This teaches you to understand it first, and helps them gwt comfortable with English (too many finns refuse to speak english, claiming they are terrible at it). And switch it up with you speaking finnish, them english. A win win situation for both. Hope this might be of some help.

[@Im01Time]

I don’t know whether the statistic relating to restrictions improving quality of life is true or not, but they improved _my_ quality of life. I study in a university and when classes moved online as they had to, I felt AWESOME. I found that interacting online with my classmates was a lot nicer because random zoom rooms meant you got to talk to people that might normally always sit on the opposite side of the classroom so you would never talked to them when physically at the university. There was no feeling of awkwardness trying to find a pair/group either. And I didn’t feel awkward about asking questions when I could type them out in the chat and not need to interrupt the teacher. I could spend the lectures comfortably in my home and not worry about how I look, didn’t need to waste time travelling which I hate especially in the winter and didn’t need to spend time at the crowded (well… crowded in my Finnish opinion 😁) university, which I learned is very draining for me as a person. And I work as a karaoke host so I’m definitely from the more outgoing side of the spectrum. 😂 I can imagine that a lot of people that find certain type of social situations taxing honestly felt like “FINALLY I CAN BE MYSELF.”

People are giving you nice comments and encouragements about learning Finnish. Here is mine. The Finnish alphabet is super easy to learn. Finnish is one of the easiest languages to pronounce. Mostly you are doing a great job there. But the accent always comes on the 1st syllable. So instead of soDANkylä it is SOdanKYlä. Everything else about it being one of the most difficult languages is true. But specifically for anyone who speaks for example a Germanic language (English, Dutch, German, etc) or a romance language (Italian, French, Spanish, etc). Obviously it isn't difficult for an Estonian speaker since it is very close to Finnish. One thing that you will find a tiny bit frustrating is that Finns are kind and they want to help and they will often speak English with you. They like to practice their English also. So when you start learning Finnish and want to practice don't be discouraged if they switch the language to English. Your 1st goal is to speak Finnish well enough that they don't do that. And finally, the grammar rules are very complex and they go on forever it seems, but once you learn the grammar rules they are very consistent. Very few exceptions like in other languages. Everyone is rooting for you and willing to help. :)

[@herrakaarme]

Unfortunately Finnish isn't that easy to pronounce for native English speakers because of the big differences between Finnish and English spelling/pronunciation. It's pretty ironic as objectively pronunciation is indeed very simply in Finnish, whereas everything else is difficult. It's not surprising, though, since English is the total opposite: English pronunciation is exceedingly difficult but everything else is easy.

Edit. Found another one of these after I had written this, although it didn't have the little details. 10:43 basically (bit simplified as for example "kokoo" is not really "put together", but in Finland people tend to shorten and edit words often, another common is the word "sinä" (you) and it is switched to "sä" This also goes most commonly for casual speaking.) Kokoo koko kokko = put the entire bonfire together. Koko kokkoko? = The entire bonfire? Koko kokko. = Yes the entire bonfire. (Closely like another instance where Finns shorten thing leaving the word "yes" out of the sentance.) Laso Ibshould mention that the "kokkoko" the last "ko" is a morfem, which when added behind a word makes it like questioning. Yes I am a Finn indeed.

How to have all of them weather warning at same day? Easy. You most likely are not going to encounter them on one place. Notice how North was light blue, Lapland usually gets spring bit later. Same goes with Eastern Finland where icy roads on spring are unfortunatelly a thing. South and West part of Finland had apparently very dry spring where they had to announce warnings. Basically it means that if you plan to burn leafs... pick any other day do it as well as if going to camping or something, you kinda need to be very cautious. Overall i guess it was stormy day and in some areas blackouts can occure... depending how strong the storm is. I do remember seeing meme made about that day.

Finnish school requirements are hard man in elementary school we had to make an article that would be send to the local newspaper. My groups article was chosen and my final grade for finnish was 5 which happens to be the minimum score required in order to not repeat the year...

[@scrapmechanicandlegoengine3096]

woah... My question is that as your phone showed sodankylä on your phone so how well do local people in sodankylä speak english? because it's quite a small place very north I my self am a finn so I just would like to know that...

[@RaccoonLex]

A couple of weeks ago I saw a guy cycling in shorts.

Full conversation in Finnish: "Kokoo koko koko kokkoon. Koko kokkoko? koko kokko" Translation full conversation 10:49: Gather the whole bonfire together. Whole Bonfire? -The Whole Bonfire!"

[@buenoloco4455]

I cracked at 7:10 XD What the hell? Well the capital city is called Helsinki (Hellsing pronounced, so that makes sence... kinda)

[@therealolli]

Youre telling me that you drunk too much COFFEE? My dad needs to drink atleast like 12 cups a day to SLEEP

[@oceanmythjormundgandr3891]

8:53 off yes, the restrictions did improve my life. I want them back. Please.

[@antcommander1367]

4:08 that what we call "finnish life sentence", to you whos spouse is finnish and are from other countries. Be wary afraid that you are coming back to finland with your spouse.

[@Timecapsuleiguess]

Rough translation of kokoo koko kokko: Build the entire bonfire Entire bonfire? Entire bonfire. Yes im finnish and seems like someone already translated

[@jennah94]

About the dots, there was a mistake :D Why do tenses also matter... "Nainko vaarin?" - Did I marry a granpa? "Naisinko vaarin?" - Should I marry a granpa?

[@piijala]

It is facts, lockdown was awesome!

[@aceartist.w.anixinety5679]

As a finnish person, yes it do be like that

[@saturahman7510]

Right now it is -12 celcius in Mikkeli, eastern-Finland.

[@Essuzu]

5:37 Yeah, pretty much impossible to learn to speak Finnish fluently if you weren't born here or didn't move here before the age of about 10

[@foxgamer_6489]

this is my take on trying to translate this💀 "build the whole bonfire togheter" "whole bonfire?" "the whole bonfire" i dont think that this can be fully translated but thats basically the context. and of course the talk is about juhannus kokko xd ans then the valmistaudu kouluun its "get ready fot school" and then on the news paper was just beer next to the scool stuff

Ä is like saying mcdonalds with american accent, By the the letter between m and c is THE Ä, it comes from the upper pharynx.
