8th meeting; Stockmann

Hello,

for our 8th meeting we headed to Stockmann again because our previous meeting there had been so successful. This time we went to the makeup and clothing section.

English – French – German – Finnish

  • Perfume – parfum – Parfüm – hajuvesi
  • Showergel – gel douche – Bade shampoo – suihkusaippua
  • Toothpaste – dentifrice – Zahnpasta – hammastahna
  • Makeup – maquillage – meikki
  • Dress – robe – Kleid – Mekko
  • Jacket – manteau – Jacke – takki
  • Handbag – saca’main – Handtasche – käsilaukku
  • Pants- pantalon -Hose – housut
  • Shoes – chaussure  – Schuhe – kengät
  • Lipstick – rouge a leure – Lippenstift – huulipuna
  • Nailpolish – vernis – Nagellack – kynsilakka
  • Mascara – mascara – Wimperntusche – ripsiväri
  • Hair – chevelure – Haare – hiukset

There is some vocabulary we went over. There was so many other words also but I didn’t get it all down. I’m used to that when you talk about jacket, there is only one word for that in Finnish and it’s takki no matter what kind of jacket it is but in German and French you have different word for different kind of jackets and that really confused me. In the end of the meeting we talked about different brands that are from our countries and we all know. It was fun meeting again and still good way for learning.

Interesting with ‘takki’. You could try the other way round: How many different types of snow do they know?
