This time we chose to learn some adjectives in Finnish and Japanese. Yuiko found this great website that had many adjectives in Japanese and English! I learned that in Japanese language adjectives are divided into 2 different categories. First one being i-adjectives and second one called na-adjectives. We chose to only focus on i-adjectives during this lesson. It means that they end with a letter i.
Here are the adjectives we teached to each other and also practised how to pronounce them
- Iso / Big / Oki
- Pieni / Small / Chisai
- Kallis / Expensive / Takai
- Halpa / Cheap / Yasui
- Matala / Low / Hikui
- Uusi / New / Atarashi
- Vanha / Old / Furui
- Hyvä / Good / I
- Paha / Bad / Warui
- Vaikea / Difficult / Muzukashi
- Helppo / Easy / Yasashi
- Lähellä / Near / Chikai
- Kaukana / Far / Toi
- Monta / Many / Oi
- Vähän / A few / Sukunai
- Nopea / Fast / Hayai
- Myöhässä / Late / Osoi
- Hidas / Slow / Osoi
- Pitkä / Long / Nagai
- Lyhyt / Short / Mijikai
- Kuuma / Hot / Atsui
- Kylmä / Cold / Samui (temperature) or Tsumetai (object)
- Lämmin / Warm / Atatakai
- Viileä / Cool / Suzuhi
Out of all this words in Japanese, my favourite was “warm – Atatakai” because it was easy and fun to pronounce. It was also engouraging to notice that now I can read most of the japanese words that only use hiragana as a writing method. However there are still a lot of work in front of me! I hope Yuiko can arrive to Finland soon as possible so we can level up our studying process even further!
