I want to study little by little but sure.

And where is the verb like "am" in english, "desu" in japanese? O is I? or the verb changes the form for the person, like italian?
Thanks.
I am REALLY bad at explaining pronunciation in english, so I recorded it.

example 45 - Putfile.com

I said it kinda slowly, normally we speak a little faster. It's my own inroduction:
"Hauska tavata, olen Noora. Asun Suomessa."

The verb "am" is "olen" in that sentence. I dropped the word "I" (minä) Because it is included in the word "olen". That sentence could be "Minä olen Noora", But we don't need "minä".

Like this:

Olla = to be (like in "to be someone" = "olla joku")
Minä = I, me

When they are put together, we get:

Olen = I am

the verb "olla" changes and the "n" in the end adds the meaning of yourself being the object.
"t" adds the meaning of the person you are talking to being the object:

Olet = You are

If you didn't understand anything, ignore it xD I don't know all english grammar names etc. So I really suck at this... plus finnish is fricking hard to learn if you aren't born in Finland.
