I've spent the past day binge-watching your videos - you are a godsend for those of us learning finnish with no idea where to start.

[Vowel Harmony!] Mi | ssä = inessive case particle: "in", "inside", "within some space" Mi | hin = illative case particle: "into", "towards" Mi | stä = elative case particle: "out of", "from"

Also a quick tip to anyone who is learning Finnish: Many Finns might use "minne" instead of "mihin".

at last! locatives have clicked into place! the endings of these three question words, which I have struggled to memorise individually, I now realise are simply different case endings. Just as helsingiin means "to Helsinki", helsingissä means "at Helsinki" and helsingistä means "from Helsinki.

At 0:42, I can already guess what you want to say in this whole video and what these 3 words exactly mean without watching the rest of it. 😁 German also has these 3 words which are "Wo", "Wohin" and "Woher". 🇩🇪

I am coming to Finland next week and thank you for this video. I always thank you for your good video.

Your explanations are really good, thank you once again for making Finnish so easy and fun! 💙 Also makes it easier to pay attention when your teacher is söpö.. 🤗

As someone fairly new to learning the Finnish language, this is helpful to me, since I've been yearning to travel to Finland sometime in the future and hopefully converse effectively with the locals, and the other thing, which is translating all the songs in the Sayonara Wild Hearts soundtrack into Finnish.

I really get confused about these cases in my Finnish lesson in class. Thank you so so much!!!

Lots of examples please. I love how you are super slow and clear and repetitive about the topic words, but its nice to hear them in lots of contexts at a natural pace. Each example differs by just one thing and mentions the topic word. Liked the "welcome to my channel intro" I wasn't trying to learn Finnish. I guess I am now.

Thank you for taking the time to help others! :)

Also this is like где, куда and откуда. Thanks for another great video!!

You explain stuff for slow people😊 I'm not slow but I still appreciate that :)

Hello Dear, thank you for your help. can you please make another video on the suffixes added at the end of names of places like tori,puisto... when answering the question words you mentioned on this video?

Thank you for this lesson🌸🌸🌸

Not confusing at all! It is actually very clear put out this way!

Thank you, love your videos to the bits 🧡

Hello! Yes it was really helpful, thank you so much ❤️. I just had an extra question. Can we actually use those but not in a question? If yes, which one would you use in this situation? Is it always the same as soon as it's not used as a question or it still depends on the context? Situation: "Put the pen back WHERE you found it"

You are amazing....thank you so much, you have no idea how good and great skills you have with teaching .......

The video is good! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.

This video was very enlightening. Hey can you do a video on how to ask Ko questions?

Hyvä päivää. Please keep updating i like how you teaching. Kiitos paljon sisko ❤

Love you and your interesting videos!😉

This is really helpful. Thanks so much, watching from Nigeria

do ''kuka'' next. kuka, keta ,kenessa etc etc. i still cant figure it out !!!!love your videos btw, keep it up!!!

Thank you very much for the lesson. Easy to learn the way you teach

thanks for making this video!!! i think i’m the one that requested it. also thanks to you, i’m much more fluent in finnish and my finnish friends don’t hate me as much.

Kiitos could you make a video about all wh questions in finnish your explanation very clear 😗

your explanations are really good and I can easily understand what you're trying to learn us. i love Finnish and thanks to you, it is a lot easier. Everyone always says that Finnish is super hard to learn but you make it easier and it's nice to have someone explain it where it's not just overloaded with grammatical terms and whatever

Very good. Literally I was struggling with this missä, mihin and mistä. You are very good. God bless you. :-)

Very good differentiation of those words. Thank you.

It's cool to put your videos into real applications, I practice my adverbs and learn a lot of my vocab from listening to "Teräsbetoni" hahaha, Missä miehet ratsastaa siellä lampaat ei voi laiduntaa!! What my mind goes to, Kiitos!

Hi! Can you please do a video about the difference between "miten and kuinka". thank you :)

Thanks Kat very nicely presented.

Hei! :-) Beautiful and simple way to explain it! Kiitos! I have a question about "jossa". I read this in some texts when talking about where is a specific location... What does it stand for?

Very clear, thank you, Kat! But one of your examples brought up another question. Would you typically use the word höyhen for a single feather? Because the word I've seen used is sulka. I actually thought that höyhen meant plumage. Which would be the word most commonly used?

sinä olet hyvä opettaja 🙏🌺

@KatChats Finnish do you have video of S-cases and places with answering the questions with different case endings. I am currently studying Finnish Language, you help me a lot.

Thank you for your videos 🙌🏻

I think I'm inlove after watching all these tutorials

Very helpful video

This is very helpful, thank you Kat~

Omg🥰😍...you're so beautiful and a very good teacher

I really like your videos. For this particular one, if i understood it correctly, is “MISSA” used for objects and “MISTA” is for places?

kiitos!! I hope I get to learn Finnish asap.

I just understand to use this not long time ago 🤣 when was studied missä/mistä/mihin i was like WTF 🥺🥺 and i like to watch your channel because in class only book language so i know speaking language from your channel ♥️

mista question usually answer the place or using vehicles by adding sta at the end.

Kiitos paljon.Now I'm all clear with those three question words but it'd be better if you also explain me about the differences between Mikä and Mitä

I’m now learning Finnish by myself. Thank you ❤

Something's I'm used to from other languages (like French? Can't remember, I'm from the US and just getting back into my studies) that isn't found in Finnish is a consonant that would be at the end of Mistä" then "olet" which would make it flow better but since one change to Finnish can create an entirely new meaning I think it's also a good thing it lacks it. In English we have it with the article "a" becoming "an" before vocabulary starting with a vowel

This is truly fascinating! Being inspired by this channel, I am taking Finnish in DuoLingo now. Question: can "on" be placed both in the middle and at the end of sentences? For example, if I say "missä kaupunki tuo on?" May I also use "missä on tuo kaupunki?"

Thanks for this video...helps a lot for someone like me that had no idea in finnish☺️☺️

Keen to learn Finnish language because of my job application in Finland.. hopefully i can pass the A1 nd A2 exams. Arvostin paljon!

oh wow, I see this is an old video, it is very useful and interesting! you do that very emotionally and I like this :) and I like that thing on your hair. how many rings did you have there? :)

Kaunis... thank you. Hope to see u eyes in person

I have a question. Which would you use in a situation like where can I do something, such as where can I sit down? Is that missä?

Love your teaching

My favorite question in Finnish is “miks ei?” Great motivator 😁

Thanks for this! In the example, 'Mistä tämä tuli?' What role does the word 'tuli' play? Google translate says it translates to fire/flame/light/blaze, so I'm surprised for it to be used in this phrase that doesn't seem to reference fire at all.

another problem at me that is how to use lla/llä or sta,stä at the end of the verbs in sentences to describe where to,from etc and the problems of the rules hVn seen etc Hopefully, you would like to make a video for this situation kiitös paljon

kiitos kaunis opettaja

there are 3 direction question words in Russian too (Russian and Finnish have much in common): missä = ГДЕ, mihin = КУДА, mistä = ОТКУДА

can you please do a video about the tenses. they confuse me so much and you’re really good at explaining stuff. yee yee love your videos btw :)

Old English words can help: O E whither = where to, or Finnish mihin; O E whence = where from or Finnish mista

Learning another language through several others is funny because I was so confused at the confusion through english but then I realized my native language has pretty much equivalents 🤣🤣 ‘kde, kam, odkud’.

I just decided to learn finnish with you. So much fun. What do you think about the relationship between the finnish and the hungarian language? I met a finnish stewardess in Beijing about three weeks ago and she told me the number four is so similar. Nëlja and négy. Is that everything? Or is there some more easter eggs? Thanks for the videos. ;)

This is terrific!! English used to use the words whence for where from and whither for where to. German uses woher for where from and wohin for where to. Missä connotes a question about a stationary location whereas the other two inquire about movement from or to. Mihin olet menossa instead of mihin menet and mihin ollaan menossa? Could you give more examples of this construction. Also, could you do a video giving typical sentences using- tässä - tästä - tähän tuossa - tuosta - tuohon siinä - siitä - siihen täällä - täältä - tänne tuolla - tuolta - tuonne siellä - sieltä - sinne or at least some of them. For example, bring it here/take it over there. I think you used siihen in your video about ordering coffee. Thanks.

thanks this helped a lot!

Hei, I recently started learning Finnish and Hungarian is my mother tongue, but I'm learning Finnish in English. It's strange that these question words are also present in the Hungarian language (Hol? Hová? Honnan?), but I have to deal with the English translation.

Wow, you are the best

Very good video. Dont worry it was very clear :)))

Good lesson. How to form verbs? Plural, etc.

Thank you!!!!

Can anyone explain to me the difference between "minne" and "mihin"? As I learned, "minne" also means to where, when you ask someone going to or something is going to the location. For instance Minne sinä menet? - Where are you going? I get a little confused about these 😟 Kiitos paljon!!!

cracking up at 05:40 and 02:49 ..that helps me remember as it's so dramatic lol

very helpful!

I am from somalia🇸🇴 you are good teacher

thank you

kiitos paljon,sina olet kaunis..

Thank you ..

Nice explanations. Great help. I like that you explain things we can use right away. Thanks for your work with these!

Thank you so much for thes Vídeo you help me to much!✌️✌️✌️✌️😉😀😀😀👏👏👏👏👏👏

Kiitos paljon !

Thank you very much ,kiitos paljon

Well done

For 'Where to' you can also use the word 'minne.' Minne menet?=Mihin menet?=Where are you going? I tried to come up with an example where these 2 words can't be used interchangeably and I couldn't think of anything.

Mihin and mistä forms of "where" cover the need for a preposition, since there are no prepositions in Finnish, right?

I have a question regarding S vs L, if i am saying i go to the park ( menen puistoon vai puistolle?) Which one do i use? Are there outdoor places considered indoor (i only know of one which is metsä, so answer form would be in S, metsään, metsässä, metsästä) i am assuming?

@katchatsfinnish, the same in Russian language: Missä - where - где? Mistä - from where - откуда? Mihin - where to - куда?❤

Sinä olet kaunista ♥️

thanks

Thank a ton!

I lol at your funny examples. Also I’m astonished that you seem to speak both languages with little accent of the other. (Although I’m a poor judge of accent in spoken Finnish - I grew up hearing Yooper dialect and accent a lot and that, I have heard, can be pretty atrocious).

Gorgeous ❤

Moi, when i use mihin arent i supposed to put in end n or lle

Are we ever getting a video on declining? I'm currently reading Finnish: An Essential Grammar and the chapter about declining has absolutely bodied me.

Awesome video... keep it up...

My girl❤❤❤

Do I have to speak Finnish if I want to work at a restaurant in Finland? Specifically in Helsinki, Turku .. cuz my gf is living there and I plan on moving there

Super charismatic
