One general point here: please maintain natural and consistent stress when you pronounce a word in isolation. The ending is NOT stressed. PurkKA is simply wrong in all natural contexts.

@@KatChatsFinnish You give the impression that word stress can easily vary in Finnish. It doesn't, and internalising this is very difficult for many learners (it took me over a decade). The last syllable in particular is never stressed in fluent speech, and it is vital to become familiar with how it sounds, as it carries the main inflection. Siis tavujen vokaalit ovat paljolti aina samalta kuulostavia, toisin kuin esim. englannissa: PHOtograph, phoTOGraphy, photoGRAphic. jne.

Most often the shortened forms can be understood on the basis of kirjakieli word, like *koris* means koripallo. Jalkapallo can be in puhekieli *fudis/futis/jalis* or just jalkapallo, but *käsis* means käsikirjoitus, not käsipallo. 🙂

Great stuff! You do occasionally hear people use the verb tsiigata in the meaning to watch. You can for example say "Tsiigasitko matsin?" i.e. "Did you watch the game?". The word veski is easier to understand if you consider that it comes from the abbreviation WC. Like was said by someone in the comments, the way the words are used in Finnish, bathroom is actually kylpyhuone or kylppäri.

Thank you. So many words that I have not heard before. I’m going to check out italki a few months before visiting Finland.

Kiitos! Glad there were some new words for you too! And it's definitely worth checking out, there seemed to be a few Finns offering Conversational Finnish practice lessons! :)

1. Kat is using the word "puhekieli" to cover both colloquial Finnish and slang Finnish. I might quibble if she conflated the two in English, but I don't know enough to say whether she's right or wrong in using "puhekieli" this way. 2. "Vessa" sounds to me like it might be derived from "WC." WC is an abbreviation for the English term "water closet." It's funny--we don't use that term at all in the USA, but most western European languages do seem to use the English abbreviation--while pronouncing it the way those two letters are named in the local language. I don't think the pronunciation fits with the Finnish names for the letters, but it might come from Swedish or some other language. 3. In English, we have the term "wastepaper basket," but I must say, its usage seems to have fallen off a cliff in the past few decades. 4. "Kokata" is probably derived from Swedish "koka," which means both "to boil" and more generally "to cook." German "kochen" also has both these meanings. Both the Swedish and the German are cognate with English "cook," but the English lacks the specific idea of boiling. 5. "Purukumi" seems to literally mean "chewing rubber," I think. ("Puru" seems to mean "crush" more than "chew," but when you chew something, you do crush it with your teeth.) Swedish "tuggummi" and German "Kaugummi" both literally mean "chewing rubber." 6. "Let's drive a bike home"? I haven't learned enough about Finnish verbs of motion to know if this is a literal translation. You would have to say it this way in the German equivalent--but it sounds funny in English. 10. "Mäkkäri" has an equivalent in American English--"Mickey D's."

1. To me puhekieli refers to what Finnish people use when speaking. Which can differ a lot depending on who is talking. I don't think there is an official "puhekieli" since different people and regions speak differently. Although some may be more standard than others. So I understand your point for sure, but to me it's easier to just clump all non-kirjakieli words together as puhekieli just to not make things too complicated. But I'm sure there are people who strongly disagree with this! 2. Sometimes Finns might even say "veesee" which is the Finnish way of just sounding out WC 4. This is exactly right! 6. I accidentally translated it literally, since in Finnish you would say "ajaa pyörä" = drive a bike Thank you for your very thoughtful comment!

In Australia they like saying 'Mackies' In Swedish we say 'Donken'.......The Donk. Knowing Swedish is a great help when learning Finnish. There are so many words that come from Swedish, like you guessed, kokata - koka. It doesn't mean to cook though. Only boil.

Yes there is a difference between spoken language and slang and one should not mix them should words can move from slang to even official use like word "ratikka" which is sometimes used even by the HSL. Typically using slang is a conscious choice.

The "-is" ending in "roskis" and "mahis" is common in many slang words, especially for various sports: "pingis", "futis", "koris" etc. Note the declension: futis, futista, futiksen, futikseen. Note that "kokki" is the formal name of an occupation: cook (i.e. ruoanlaittaja").

Teens/middle age people use those ''stadin slangi'' words more often in every day discussion. Sometimes there is problem of understanding those speaking only in finglish 😅 In this video i think the word ''hengata'' is bit outdated compared to ''chillata'', which also has english origin! I'm using these weird word endings and variations like ''Roskis'' = ''Rode'' & ''Pölliä'' = ''Kössiä' xd

Isn´t the word "vessa/veski" same as "toilet" in English? Bathroom in Finnish puhekieli is usually "kylppäri". Vessa (toilet) and kylpyhuone (bathroom) are not always the same thing. You do not usually ask in the restaurant "Where is the bathroom?" 🙂

This is a very good channel, and you have great questions! I try to answer as a speaker of Northern Finnish dialect, who lives in Helsinki. Even if singular would be logical, because it is just one nap, normally the word is in plural, *päikkärit/päiväunet/nokoset* . The word *hengaillla* is used in contexts like *hengailla kaupungilla* . It is casual hanging around without planned purpose. 🙂 Different people may use the word slightly differently, but I associate in it moving around city, not just staying in one place. Word *hengata* could mean hanging in one place, but I point out that I never use that word in my own speech, so I am not a specialist with its nuances. As a main rule, words *hengailla* and *hengata* mean pretty much the same, but normally derivative like *ele* or *ile* or *skele* highlights the element of casuality (or frequency of action), like *lukea* vs. *lueskella* (to read vs. to flip through pages). The word *ylenkatsoa* could mean overlooking in a very negative sense, like something/somebody is not worth of very much. If some subject is passed in teaching, it could be like *ohittaa/sivuuttaa aihe* or *jättää aihe käsittelemättä* . The word *laiminlyödä* means also neglecting, but more like in a case of duties: *laiminlyödä velvollisuuksiaan* .

Tai veska? From a Finn lived in Sweden since 1971 since I was 1 yo. I was grandmothers every summer as a kid and had Finnish classes in school. Haven't been much in Finland past 20 years. Just a few days each year and not all for 5 years. All of your puhekieli I understand but don't never seldom use them. Pummata tupakan or sätkyn means I can have cigarette. Are more modern puhekieli or slangia than is less than 10 years old then I probably missed it.

I don't remember the exact sentence, but your example with the word "vihdoin" (at last) seemed weird to me. Here in Eastern Finland it would always be "vihdoinkin". I think it was "Vihdoin mä hiffaan tämän" or something like that. The millemials inside the Ring III have decided to get rid of clitics, it seems.

Fun fact 2: One of the main scientists behind xylitol purkka, Professor emeritus Matti Leisola, is a young earth creationist.

Those words have ton of synonymes in spoken language. Also actualy the first word in proper finnish is "käymälä" not kylpyhuone. Kylpyhuone is actualy bathroom. Of course you propably have toilet seat "käymälänistuin aka vessanpönttö" in your bathroom too. There is also other words that you might want to learn too. 1) "Huussi & hyyskä" are very common all around Finland. "Paskahuussi" (shit house), "kusiputka" (urea cabin), pikkula, puu cee (outdoor toilet). Also "miestenhuone" is mans room and "naistenhuone" is ladies room. 4) Jäde is also very common 6) Kitka (esim. "Menkää te edeltä niin mä veivaan kitkalla perässä" so "veivata kitkalla" means polkea pyörällä), konkeli, munamankeli 7) Nussia/nyysiä (Joku on nussinut/nyysinyt mun kynän = Someone stole my pen)

"Tänään opitaan viistoista lisää puhekieli sanaa" ei ole korrektia suomea, eikä natiivi muodostaisi tällaista lausetta. Suomeksi olisi luontevaa sanoa puhekielisesti "Tänään opitaan vielä viistoista puhekielistä sanaa". Yleiskielinen muoto olisi "Tänään opimme lisäksi viisitoista puhekielistä sanaa".

@Thetouko

Жыл бұрын

Periaatteessa minkä ikäinen tahansa, mutta puhuttaessa vanhemmille herroille/rouville tai virallisemmissa tilanteissa usein vähenee slangin käyttö. For example, Tiedäksä or tiiäksä - most casual and informal; Tiedätkö - neutral; Tiedättekö - more formal; Tiedättekö te - most formal. The two latter can be used to address several people also.

😍😚

Standard Finnish is not based on any dialect spoken by Finns. It is a compromise made by scholars, when Finnish written language was standardized. Spoken standard Finnish is limited to official surroundings, such as news in radio or TV. Spoken Finnish is very different, and differences between dialects are noticeable - both in vocabulary and intonation. It is hard to teach foreigners to speak Finnish like natives do, because using a wrong register of formality will often sound ridiculous. Foreigners are often taught to use too familiar Finnish in formal situations, which is not the way Finnish speakers would do. It will sound uneducated.
