[@bigscarysteve]

Congratulations on presenting us with a word that Google Translate can't handle! It doesn't know what to do with "poutaista"! While I'm not old enough to remember this, I think we have a similar situation in English with the word "precipitation." While the word "precipitation" has existed in English for about 500 years, I doubt that it was much known to anyone other than scientists until we started getting broadcast weather reports, and then the word became known to the general populace.

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Yes I myself also took a look at Google translate to see if I was missing something and couldn't find anything either! Just gave me back the same word haha! Oh really? That's a really interesting fact!

[@rafaeljonathancamiloveraro4199]

Same happens in Spanish with “precipitación” same Latin word than in English, same technical use that got spreader thanks to the forecasts in the news.

[@kosmastr9626]

Just amazing! Great examples and very good presentation, especially the way you use your hands to say the weather it’s windy. It was really funny when you described Tänään on tuulista vs Tänään on (tulista) just one (u) missing and then the weather becomes ‘spicy’ 🤣 Thank you for your videos! Helps a lot to memorise the words!

I think poutaista means drought in English. That's according to my understanding. Am new finnish student. Thank you for the lessons ❤️❤️❤️

[@madsbuhris]

I can tell you! We have the so called "takatalvi" weather today😑. You can translate that to the others. I dont know if this word exits in other languages?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

I have a video about takatalvi so people can check that out if they don't know the term! But yes, it's snowed some for the past few days where I am too 😅

[@lukaszmakuch-pt5un]

as far as i know weather forecasts in the UK - poutainen would simply mean - dry weather - no single word for that as is the case in other languages :) dry conditions, dry weather - so anything without meaningful precipitation

Russian uses similar concepts for temperature (warmth and frost), but NEVER together with plus/minus.

[@nikomimhuuensche9145]

Kiitos paljon! :) täällä on tuulista ja sateista tänään, mutta aurinko paistaa myös vähän... huhtikuu tekee mitä halua when I want to say "it raint a lot yesterday", do I have to use "vettä" or vesiä? "eilen satoi paljon vettä/vesiä" I am still not sure about the use of the partitiivi case in such sentences 🤔

[@KatChatsFinnish]

You would use "vettä" - I think for all weather related sentences I can think of off that top of my head you would use "vettä" :)

[@user-rc5bd2jq1o]

I think that you have to use the word halua whit another a leter, like as "haluaa"

[@psycheymikey]

In the example "tänään aurinko paistaa", could the verb loistaa also work in that sentence?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

I guess technically you could although people don't really say that. I think more commonly you would hear people saying "kuu loistaa" as it sounds more like shining softly whereas paistaa sounds like shining really brightly/strongly

[@viikkasti]

I'm woundering, that „1 astetta“ is used instead of „1 asteen“. Like: 2 Ruusua maksaa (1) euron.

[@jaggr1287]

Hi, I’m very new to Finnish, so this could be simple, but when you got to the numbers of degrees Celsius, how did you shorten 20 “kaksikymmentä” to “kakskyt”? Is that puhekieli?

[@KatChatsFinnish]

Yes! It's puhekieli - so the way most people in everyday speech will say it!

[@elizabethchelagat1596]

[@bigscarysteve]

Good video! This affords an opportunity to bring up an interesting grammatical point. In the Germanic and Romance languages, there exist verbs for "rain" and "snow" alongside nouns for the same thing. We can say "It's raining" or "It's snowing"--but what is raining or snowing? In the Germanic languages and in French, a null subject is not allowed, so we must use the subject "it" for these verbs. But what is "it" here? It doesn't take the place of an unstated nominal subject. It's what is called a pleonastic construction--that is, "it" becomes the subject simply because these languages require all verbs to have subjects. In the Finnish sentence "Tänään sataa," we have what appears to be an exact equivalent grammatical structure, other than for the fact that there is no pleonastic "it." Finnish, like all the Romance languages other than French, is a null subject language, so we can have a conjugated verb without a stated subject. On the other hand, some languages, such as Russian and Hebrew, lack verbs meaning "to rain" or "to snow." In that case, the corresponding noun must be used, so we get sentences which literally mean "Rain falls" or "Rain goes," or "Snow falls" or "Snow goes." Finnish strikes a happy medium between these two types of languages because one can say in Finnish "Tänään sataa vettä," or ""Tänään sataa lunta." I do find it interesting that while Finnish has the verb "sataa" which means "to rain" (and also "to hail," apparently), it seems to lack a verb meaning "to snow."

[@KatChatsFinnish]

This is so interesting. It seems like you have such an in depth knowledge of so many languages that you can contrast them pretty well to make interesting points! I didn't know a lot of this so thank you for brining it up! I agree it's curious that Finnish doesn't have a specific word for "to snow" since it seems to do that a lot here!

[@bigscarysteve]

@@KatChatsFinnish Thinking about this some more, I overlooked an obvious question to ask you. Can you say "Tänään sataa sadetta"?--or does that just sound weird? While I'm fairly sure this is grammatically correct, I don't know if it would be an uncomfortable collocation.

[@PaulVinonaama]

Sää on se, mitä on ilmassa (pilviä, sadetta tms.) Keli on se, mitä on maassa (lunta, jäätä jne.). Viime aikoina jotkut ovat ruvenneet ärsyttävästi kutsumaan säätä keliksi.

Aika samaa tarkoittaa. Sanoisin, että "kolea" kuulostaa multa enemmän "chilly" ja kylmä "cold" mut ero on pieni
