Hyvää päivää

This week was the time for our first Finnish lesson.  All members of our group had a little bit of knowledge, but not so good, so we started from the beginning.

Mikä sinun nimi on? – What’s your name?
Olen Sabrina. – I am Sabrina.
Minun nimi on Sabrina. – My name is Sabrina.

Here is a short video where you can learn how to introduce yourself in finnish:

Mitä kuuluu? – How are you?
Miten menee? – How is it going?
Hyvää. – Good.
Eipä erikoista. – Nothing special.
Vähän huonoa. – A little bit bad.

Hyvää huomenta. – Good morning.
Hyvää päivää. – Good afternoon.
Hyvää iltää. – Good evening.
Hyvää yötä. – Good night.
Nuku hyvin. – Sleep well.
Hei/ Moro / Terve/ Moi – Hello.

Nähdään. – See you.
Nähdään huomenna. – See you tomorrow.
Hei hei / Moi moi/ Moikka/ Heippä/ Näkemiin – Goodbye.

We learned the numbers:

We learned also that it’s important to spell the finnish words right, because they have different meanings when you spell them different. Here is an example for that:
Kokoo koko kokko kokoon. – Build up the whole bonfire.

Finnisch words have various meanings. You can see in this example which meanings kuusi palaa has.
