Want to learn Finnish?
 

Soooo....I´m from Finland and I just love languages, so why not teach other the languages I can speak?
I´ve been studying Japanese for a year, so I know the basics. So I can help with that, also : )
In Finland we learn Swedish in school, but I suck at it, so I´m not that good of a swedish-teacher for anyone altought I´ve been studying it for two years xD

Ja kaikki suomalaiset tänne! Ei oo hajuakaan kuinka monta teitä on tällä forella, ois kiva tietää : )

Hey, I wanna learn Finnish! It will be a completely new language fo me, but anyway! I love new things!:rheart: I'm from Greece and if you ever want to learn Greek, just tell me!

Anyway, will ya teach me?

Ugh. I'm Finnish on my father's side. What's sad is all I know how to say is cheers. "Kippis", JF. xD

Whee, I´d love to know a little bit of Greek : ) And sure I can teach you! Any specific phrase you want to learn?

Let's see... How about: Hello, my name is Lulu. Nice to meet you.

It would be good to do this via e-mail... What do you think?

Oh, this topic is for teaching and learning, I can teach you here : )

Hello, my name is Lulu.= Hei, minun nimeni on Lulu.

Nice to meet you.= Hauska tutustua.

You can introduce yourself different way in different parts of Finland. Finland is full of, um...slangs? (is that the word? xD)

"My name is..." in different ways:

- Mun nimi on...
- Mie oon...
- Mää oon...

Heh, it's the same in Greek! We introduce ourselves in different ways!

I'd really like to learn Finnish!! And I'm actually trying to study it :)
Unfortunately I can't find any forum where ask questions about your language :(
Do you mind if I ask you 3 questions?

1) How do you translate this: "ns. Rutherfordin sironta": I can't translate ns. (I guess it means e.g.?). If you need it the complete sentence is: "Tällä kurssilla käsittelemme sirontaa rajoittuen muotoa f÷1/r^2 oleviin voimiin (ns. Rutherfordin sironta).

2) what the nominative singular form for "ratojen"?

3) "Ratkaisevaa on se mitä sinä uskot": in this phrase Ratkaisevaa is in the partitive form; why isn't it in the nominative form? (isn't Ratkaisevva the subject?)

I thank you very much... and if you want to learn or need help in Italian (and also French), ask me!!

whoa, you asked some hard questions.

1. I´d like to anwser this question, but I´m only 14 years old, I don´t know what Rutherfordin sironta means xD

2. um, I don´t actually understand what you´re trying to ask...but I´ll anwser the way I understood it.

the base word is "rata" --> "radat"
"ratojen" is a genitive, which means that the "radat" owns something.

3. "ratkaisevaa" isn´t a material thing, so you can´t really call it the subject. "Ratkaisevaa on se mitä sinä uskot" means : What counts is what you believe". "Ratkaiseva" can be translated "conclusive".

Sorry, if the anwsers were not full enough xD My finnish & literature was an A, but you surely put my knowledge to its limits :s
If you want to ask more, you can add my MSN: [email protected]

Don't worry... your answers are perfect!
I thank you very very very much!!! :)
