Same here! Thank you, @FinnishWithAnna 😊

It's not small at all! The greater the inclusivity the greater the 'normalcy' :)

The messaaaaage

sinulla on kaksi äiti????

Thank you so much for your kind words! Glad you enjoy my videos, thanks for watching! :-)

So lovely to hear, thanks!

Thank 😊 learning too

You're welcome, glad you found them helpful! Good luck on your Finnish studies! :-)

You're welcome!

Thanks! Yes, three brothers translates to either "kolme veljestä" or "kolme veljeä". There is no great difference in meaning, "veljes" means male sibling and "veli" means brother, so they basically mean the same thing. :-)

This would be "kaksi velipuolta" in Finnish. Thanks for watching! :-)

@@FinnishWithAnna Kiitos!

@@FinnishWithAnna how about velipojat as plural? As far as i remember plural form of poika is pojat, isnt it?

I'm very glad to hear you enjoy my videos! I hope you have a wonderful time with your friend. And yes, it's okay to make mistakes, we all make them! :-)

It depends on the individual, some people learn faster and some people need more time. Perhaps half an hour to an hour per day? More if you have the time and the dedication!

Thanks for your comment. You are right, my focus is on offering an easy and uncomplicated starting point into learning Finnish. I have a lot of experience in teaching special needs students and find that there is a definite lack of learning materials for people who need simpler materials. This is why I try to make my lessons short and as easily understandable as possible. I give a mere introduction to the issue and try to avoid grammatical terms, at least too many of them, and I also constantly guide people to take a Finnish course and/or buy a Finnish textbook to learn for example grammar issues further. Best of luck in your search for recommendable materials!

"Sisarus" is singular, "a/one sibling" and "sisarukset" is plural, "siblings".

@@FinnishWithAnna Kiitos 😁

Yes, you are right, that is the basic plural form, the nominatiivi case. In the example sentences in this video, however, the partitiivi case is used and it has a different suffix. I didn't mark the case in my earliest videos, but nowadays I try to mark it in the examples.

i love you anna see you bye

kaksi sisarusa

Oh, and apparently they are telling me "äiskä" means "old man" and "velipoika" is "nephew" :(

It means your sister's daughter.

Velipuoli, olen jumissa :D

The plural depends on the context, as the case may change. But if you want to say "I have 7 siblings", it would be "Minulla on seitsemän sisarusta." (partitiivi case).

@@FinnishWithAnna Kiitos!

Awww please don't worry! Nearly eleven thousand subscribers is far, far more than I ever expected. :-)

Well done!
