*waiting for her suomi lesson today and ready to give her spanish one in case someone is interested to*

I like French best

 

what do you want to know today? :wacko:

I like French best

 

what do you want to know today? :wacko:

well i already know how to say:

to drink, to eat.... milk, sausages, cheese, coffee, meat....

 

so more words about food or.... some other nouns (pen, notebook, book, window, home..) or adjectives (good, bad, tall, short...)

:thinking:

 

house = talo

metsa = forest

kauppa = shop

lazy = laiska

cat = kissa

kirja = book

dog = koira

short = lyhyt

tall = korkea

bad = huono

good = hyva

pen = kyna

notebook = muistikirja

window = ikkuna

whow I didn't know this thread! How many languages you people speak?

For me it's Spanish French and a crappy English :lol:

Hi Mafi!!

 

I speak english and french and some finnish. and a little portuguese.

:thinking:

 

house = talo

metsa = forest

kauppa = shop

lazy = laiska

cat = kissa

kirja = book

dog = koira

short = lyhyt

tall = korkea

bad = huono

good = hyva

pen = kyna

notebook = muistikirja

window = ikkuna

yay :dance:

so now let's practice:

 

i have a house = minä on talo.

i'm not lazy = minä en ole laiska

i don't have a cat or a dog = minä en on kissa tai koira

i'm short = minä ole kyhyt

i have a pen and a notebook: minä on kynä ja muistikirja

my home have seven windows = minun talo omistaa seitsemän ikkuna

 

btw how we form the plural of words?

 

a dog = two dogs.

?

koirat? I'm not sure.

 

Isn't plural made by the letter t?

koirat? I'm not sure.

 

Isn't plural made by the letter t?

Yes, in nominative.

 

Otherwise.... there are many forms.

dp

i guess the A means ä right?

 

and so... those "ends" (sorry i don't remember the proper word now :embarassed: ) would be translated as?

:huh:

-t genitive -n

-in accusative -t, -n, -

-t, -it, -in, -i partitive -A, -tA

-iA, -itA inessive -ssA

-issA elative -stA

-istA illativ-*n, -h*n, -seen

-iin, -??? adessive -llA

-illA ablative -ltA

-iltA allative -lle

-ille essive -nA

-inA translative -ksi

-iksi abessive -ttA

-ittA comitative [none]

-ine instructive [none]

-in prolative [none]

-itse

:huh:

 

(btw that's why it remind me to latin, it have the same :uhoh: )

i remember some thoses cases were translated as: to the brigde, through the birdge, by the bridge, along the bridge... things like that, right?

 

is a bit complex to me as in spanish we've lost it, well it moved to be adverbs or other grammar forms which are not nouns or adjective themselves. :\

 

once more kiitos nina, and sorry to bother that much with that. :embarassed:

kiitos paljon

:cheesy: Aloha

ciao claudia!

Olkaa hyvää. Looks like Finnish does have some Latin cases, but they're not even related. Like, at all.

 

A means either a or ä, you know, harmony shifts - we spoke about it earlier on.

 

The capitalized vowels above are subject to "harmony shifts" when the stem has an ä-ö-y vowel in it, i.e. 'a' becomes 'ä', 'o' becomes 'ö', and 'u' becomes 'y'. They usually also undergo the shift even if the stem only contains neutral vowels ('e' and 'i'). For the noun case suffixes, only forms using "a/ä" exist, but there are verb suffixes and derivation suffixes that contain "o/ö" and "u/y".

 

Most of these suffixes just mark what English expresses with the prepositions. I don't know to which of them each of this cases corresponds, though. I should look it up tomorrow, and that'll be the daily finnish.

ah kiitos paljon rouva nina :nice:

Ari yyou are doing really really good :surprised:

 

I'm learning french now instead :cool:

You probably dont have anyone for Croatian so... :D

ANTONIA!!!!!!!!!
