Finnish-German

Our eighth meeting took a place at Christmas market in the center of city. It is nearly Christmas time so we thought that raising some xmas spirit was on the place. We taught some Christmas vocabulary to each others at the same time.

Christmas – Joulu – Weihnachten

Santa Claus- Joulupukki – Nikolaus

snow – lumi – Schnee

christmas tree – joulukuusi – Weihnachtsbaum  (Christbaum)

candle – kynttilä – Kerze

decoration – koriste – Dekoration

star – tähti – Stern

peace – rauha – Frieden

family – perhe – Familie

reindeer – poro – Rentier

snowman – lumiukko – Schneemann

present – lahja – Geschenk

candy – karkki – Süßigkeiten

chocolate – suklaa – Schokolade

(and German also have these special cookies we bake during chrismas time they are called ”Plätzchen” in my dialect)

 

In overall market was nice but we really missed snow. I hope we get white Christmas this year.
