Kiitos paljon Katja! You have helped so many to learn (and have fun) with Finnish. Don't forget to ASK for support from your subscribers on EVERY video, you deserve it!

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. 🙂

In oulu there's the word "pahki" which is kinda used the same way as the word "into" in some occasions. For example "kävellä pahki" = "walk into".

Kiitos paljon! I am an exchange student and I am going at a Finnish Highschool. Your videos are so helpful.

Loistavaa 🎉, tee lisää puhekieli videoita, kiitos 🙏

Thank you for sharing your video ma'am kat. Hope you can also share a video about negative past tense. Kiitos! 💖

Kiitos Kat for teaching us these new words!

These videos are so unbelievably useful!

Very useful, just the kind of video I was waiting for

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.

Nice channel @KatChats Finnish very nice and helpful youtube channel to all, olet kyllä mahtava tyyppi kun teet ihmisille näitä :) ❤❤

“Tsiigata” is probably borrowed from the word ”kika ” ( kikare /binoculars ) in Swedish

Love your videos

Thankyou these words were great.

Haha, I think we got those words from the same website. I found this list of words a few months ago, too and learned them all by heart in a few days. So I recognised them all during this video 😄

thanks a lot, for your lessons. please explain partitive form.kiitos!

If you need an idea for a short video how about talking about the difference in pronunciation between yö and öy such as in pyörä and pöytä.

I didn't know there were any pure Finnish words with the letter "f". You learn somethnig everyday.

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."

Voisitteko suurentaa tekstin fonttia? ja taustakehys kontrastia varten. Tämä helpottaa näkemistä. Kiitos☘️💚

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").

Kiitos! Nice words too :D

Kiitos sina paljon

Opin monta uutta sanaa joka päivä tsiigamalla videoitasi. Paljon kiitoksia!

kiitos...

Good 👍

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

Heitä maksalaatikko roskalaatikkoon 😂

You seem to be particularly cheerful today, Kat? Any special reason for that, or just your natural sunny nature shining through? 😁

Please tee lisää puhekieli videoitä! Mä rakastan tietää puhekieli sanaa mutta mä olen opiskellut yleiskieli enimmäkseen kurssillani😄

Voisko sä tehä lisää just tälläsia videoita .kiitti

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?" 🙂

Tosi hyödyllistä kiitos! Voisko mä sanoo pieni päikkäri tai voisko olla aina pienet päikkärit? Mä oon kuullut myös hengailla stadiss mut enmä tiiä jos se käy enemmä vai vähemmä ku hengata. Paljon uutta sanaa tuli nyt mulle ja oon tosi tyytyväinen kehittää enemmän slangin ymmärtäminen - se on ylikatsonut (overlooked?) meiän virallinen kursseissa.

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 love you miss kath what a tutorial your so beautiful as well keep it up Godbless

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)

O wandarful

Kiitos - oöet missing link

Another way to say trash bin is "rode" (Helsinki region).

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.

Moi ! Ihan hyvä!

Kiitos paljon! Katson videoitasi joka päivä.🤗

Kiitos paljon koska etta mielenkiintoinen verbitypit

sorry for being late to class Kat... had a 15hours power outage here... 😅

Kotos♡♡♡

Moi rakkas.kiitos videon laittamisesta

How much is the Italki?

"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".

Todella tykkään

Hi 😌👋

Where can I practice with native speakers? In all the other parts of the world: just go to a park or a pub and people will be happy to talk to you Finland: go and pay for 1 hour talking with a Finn 😂😂😂😂 So much accurate

So that is the secret as to why you have such clean, white teeth: xylitoli purkka. It seems if some words are puhekieli, especially a foreign origin word, the suffix "gata" is added to it.

Onneksi suomi on mun äidinkieli. En olis kyllä muuten millään oppinut sitä.

True in my opinion I don't understand the young people when they speak lol.

Minkä ikäinen tällä tyylillä puhuvan ihmiset ovat?

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.

Koska hot wings videoo?
