Learn Finnish with Sulkasiipi - Part 6 - Numbers

[Valahmar]

Awesome, I really want to learn Finnish, since I want to learn and live in Finland. I really love the country and Nightwish. ^^

[NoruegoFan]

hey, you have a good style to make easy to learn Finnish... thank you! great lesson of numbers! greetings from Guatemala!

[vitu69]

So gooooooood!

[flyleaf5433]

It's amazing that you can memorize the spelling of 99 in Finnish...

I feel dizzy just by looking at the word

[Suttapillu]

@TheAmazinganime Hei. I am in Finland now :) I think you didn't like the word "alien" that I used. I meant it in good spirits. By alien I just meant something someone might be completely unaware of. Of course Finns are not aliens. They are honest and helping people :)

Also that might sound interesting to you that Finnish Immigration has an "Alien Act"... in all the visa, immigration and other texts refer to "foreigners" as "aliens"!!! really!!

[Flican09]

arghh! i don't understand how they can whrite whitout geting lost in al those letters! in swedish we just say 99 like 'nittionio' X)

[KarolaKHreloaded]

try to pronounce "dziewięćdziesiąt dziewięć" (99) in Polish xD

thanks a lot btw!

[SerjeTheRobot]

@KarolaKHreloaded It's not as hard as to pronounce 99 on Zulu (amashumi ayisishiyagalolunye nesishiyagalolunye) :)

It seems not as hard as i thought learning Finnish language will be, thanks a lot, Sulkasiipi!

[Suttapillu]

Thank you so much Sulkasiipi. I might be going to Finland in August. I was very freaked out at the thought of learning an alien language. Your vidoes are helping me a lot.

[TheAmazinganime]

@Suttapillu Finnish is NOT an alien language! It isn't even hard to learn!!! Well, maybe I can't say that since I'm from Finland but still. WE ARE NOT ALIENS, YA KNOW!!!

[buddy2cda]

In German, 99 is neunundneunzig, literally 9 and 90!

[SonSter89]

In Dutch it's called Negen-en-negentig :D ne-gen-en-ne-gen-tig ^^

[Greiiice]

So nice to learn that way! I love it! Thanks for your help :)

[Simpson654]

It's any more complicated than saying aloud any other languages. Once you know yhdeksän = 9, you know it. The Finnish counting system used to have the -toista system up to more numbers. So 24 was neljäskolmatta, or fourth of third. The system nowadays has only 11 to 19 to deal with in that ancient way. English and most Germanic languages have eleven and twelve, which makes no sense at all in a decimal system. Tentyone, tentytwo, etc. that would make sense. At least Finnish keeps it up to 20.

[2009veil]

@Simpson654

yes, u r right, logical.For ex. in Slovak(slavic language group) we have:11-jedenast, 12-dvanast, 13-trinast...it is regular and no exception.

[carkatra]

Oh God is too complicated! I got lost when you got to number 11! :O

99 in spanish is: Noventa y nueve XD

[Runzeli]

I think yhdeksäntuhattayhdeksänsataayh­deksänkymmentäyhdeksän is 9999

it's funny

[MrHonordeath]

u've taken drugs... :P and.. it's completely nonsence this ... the whole serie!!!!

[Daydreamer531]

lol, "seitseman" sounds a little bit like the german word "sensenmann". :D

[Niqulai]

Can you say "Yhdeksänsataayhdeksänkymmentä­yhdeksäntuhatta yhdeksänsataayhdeksänkymmentäy­hdeksän"?? :D

It's 999 999

[Gnubbsi]

@Niqulai

:D

[raija22]

@Niqulai hello it's easy for me :)



[BikerGuy95]

Kiitos!! :D 99 is some crazyily long word. Ninety Nine is a hell of a lot easier!! :D

[MrHonordeath]

@BikerGuy95 congratulations...

[dasffs]

The background sounds like a printer?

[gossipgirlxoxox]

love your tutorial!!!! :D

[mlavik1]

Thanks alot!

[M77Biohazard]

kiitos sulkassiipi :) i know all of the numbers from 1 to 9999 :D but i knew them sadly before i saw your viedeo

[aila1991]

How do you say numbers like 12.50 or 24.99?

[AdminGoogolplexian]

@aila1991

("Piste" = "." = dot. Which can be replaced with "Pilkku" = "," = comma)

12.50 = Kaksikymmentä ja puoli (<-Always "ja puoli" like in english "and a half"). Or kaksitoista-piste-viisi

24.99 = Kaksikymmentäneljä-piste-yhdek­sänkymmentäyhdeksän

24.99 = (2nd. way) Kaksikymmentäneljä-piste-ysiys­i

[SchnauzerAmira]

@gongels94 I know, I ment numbers not time :-) Like something costs 24.99 or 29.99 etc.

[cstockdistrictline]

lol on the *beep*

[gemblood]

<3 beeeep lol!

[nosojdjos]

It's sounds funny when you say " sulkasiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii­iiiiiipi"

[yellowjeep89]

your videos are so helpful but fun also!!! thank you for these!

[THoMaS13se]

kiitos ... haluan opiea suomi :(

[crazynance]

thanks, Sulkasiipi [do you have a shorter version of your name?Canadians like nicknames]

I have learned to say good morning to my Finnish friends! and now I can say 1. ooksi - yksi :D OK, I'm ready for Finland!

[aila1991]

I just wonder... is the number 2008 kaksituhatkhadeksan? (don't know if the spelling are right)

[LostBlossom]

@aila1991

Tuhat (thousand) turns into "tuhatta". So it's kaksituhattakahdeksan.

[BfAPUN1SH3R]

@aila1991 or you can use our ''slang'' kakstuhatkaheksa

[fsxmaster125]

I can say over 999 999 numbers in Finnish in only 2 days! Am I sick? Or is this normal?

[MerelMystery]

I love weird things like that, I can name almost every capital in the world xD

[bad13star]

Minun nimeni on Irene. Minä olen neljätoista vuotias. Minä asun Scurelle, Italia. Minun lempivarini on appelsiini. Hei hei!

Is that right?

[ainosd]

appelisiini is a fruit ((: I thik you want to say orange = oranssi :D

[bad13star]

thank you =D I have to watch the part about colours another time!

To other people:

c'è qualche altro italiano che guarda sti video? sono stufa di commentare in inglese...

[lapy90]

haha io sto iniziando a guardarli, il finlandese non è per niente facile però o.o

[bad13star]

no infatti! sto facendo diventare stupidi i miei amici a forza di blaterare in ifnlandese...

[xpinkxpitbullx]

umm... is that okay? --> Minä olen 17 vuotias. or is it just "Olen 17 vuotias"?

and what about 100, 101 and so on? :D

[MrNiceDemon]

those bouth are fine and 100 101 ... goes like 100=sata esim 124=satakaksikymmentäneljä =D and more hunreds are like 200=kaksisataa 300=kolmesataa do you get it i hope so.

[foulais]

100 is sata and the you start over.. 101- sata yksi

102- sata kaksi... and so on..

[mustakettu]

Both are right. :) 'Minä olen 17-vuotias' or just 'Olen 17-vuotias.'

[kittytaker]

[Beledal]

Breaking the words down is very helpful when tuning your voice to the language.

[Hymykeiju]

[Angelthrug]

omg!! finnish is so easy !!! its the easiest language ive ever seen ( after english my second language :P)

[VinegarEater]

I'm fairly sure you'll say something else once you've gotten heavily into grammar, but I'm thinking it's somewhat overhyped as far as difficulty goes. (Learning my basic grammar)

[Zaukkis]

no voi nyt helvetti

[EgyptBakura]

tost lopus "ehe ehe" XD

[ITALIANVATICAN89]

And 9 999 how do u say ? :D

[EgyptBakura]

[mahafetissi]

[Expetens]

[Secudead]

99 can also be said "ysiysi" to shorten it out, it can be done with pretty much any number.

Just something I wanted to point out. Also, 127897=satakaksikymmentäseitse­mäntuhattakahdeksansataayhdeks­äkymmentäseitsemän

[fc065]

[onsku100]

0 is nolla and 10 is kymmenen

[onsku100]

tuo piippi ei ollut tarpeellinenxD

[OrangeSkinnys]

'sexyman'

[emilyofbodom124]

XD ha ha! That's indeed a good way to remember it :)

[EgyptBakura]

LOL!

[MrHonordeath]

@OrangeSkinnys =)

[0NEVERHIDE0]

mina olen seitsemantoista vuotias

sweet! my second day of learning finnish and i can count to 100 and say my name! kiitti!

[SofiaHi1994]

48593 = neljäkymmentäkahdeksantuhattav­iisisataayhdeksänkymmentäkolme ;);)

100 = sata

1 000 = tuhat

1 000 000 = miljoona

[Yithar]

wahaha... i remember number 4...

anyway... that was... interesting... XD

[teatime1990]

and also the number 10 ... toista or something?

[teatime1990]

how u say he number 0 in finnish?? kiitos

[EgyptBakura]

[dezza2001]

[ulfarviktor]

Minä olen viisitoista vuotta

[DasKadda]

I really love Finnish, it sounds that great... hope one day ill learn it fluently ^^

[99dynasty]

sulkasiipi you sound so cute.. I want to go to finland :) your numbers are very long though.

[SQ163]

mina olen Mikael

olen kaksikymmentä-vuotias!

kiitos.

i am trying to learn finish by my self thru a book! :)

i'm from indonesia.

[govnonasibici1]

this numbers are pain!

[IxINobodyIxI]

Minä olen viisitoista vuotta

[stelladeppsi]

It takes you ages to write down numbers like 89, 88, 77, 79 ... but it's worth trying! I find it really amusing!!!

[bifflemcchuff66]

oh god! which means eighty-nine must be:

kahdeksankymmentayhdeksan?

what a gobful!

[Sheezy17]

Thank you so muchhhhh !

Kiitos !

[hispoisongirl36]

my tongue keeps getting tied!..lol, but im trying!...im GONNA learn finnish!!

[JuulHaa]

Is 'I am fourteen years old'

Olen neljatoista vuotias or

Mina olen neljatoista vuotias?

[Smaskens133]

You can say: "Minä olen neljätoista-vuotias" or "Olen neljätoista-vuotias". It goes like this: Minä(I) olen(am) Sinä(you) olet(are) Hän(he) on(is) Me(we) olemme(are) Te(you) olette(are) He(they) ovat(are) The "Olen" part shows that it's an "I" or "Me" speaking. You need to put the "Minä" or "Sinä" in when the person changes during the sentence, example: "Olen kaunis, mutta SINÄ olet ruma." I am beautiful, but you are ugly. But it is never wrong to put the "Minä" in..

[KannaKyomu]

Sulkasiipi, i wish to learn pleasantry's such as "Thank you" and "your welcome" Your videos have been a great help to me, I am learning Finnish so that I can speak with my Finnish friend in Helsinki. <3 thank you again!

[Aikobako]

Thank you is "Kiitos"

You're welcome is "Ole hyvä"

Hope that helped you - I learn finnish as well

[joeychestnut1776]

Thank You :)

[Julianne585]

omg how you can pass oral exam in maths?

my tongue would drop of my mouth.......:-)))

[GoSwedish]

I have just written up every number in Finnish, I only had to know how to count to ten, and 20. 30. 40. 50, 60, 70. 80, 90, as you taught and I figured all the others out by myself. I feel proud :) Kiitos! Thank You so much.

[Linaria]

the funny thing is that this actually makes very much sense... more than some other languages... I prefer this WAY before Danish numbers for example...

[savvyspirals]

Good lord, it must take ten years to write a report or something in Finnish! Your words are miles long! How do you write music and stuff, with all those syllables???

[museww]

:D miles long! i'm finnish.. :D

[eastother]

yes, they are long, but many times our words can include possesive suffix, preposition, grammatical case etc etc where as eg english people have to write many different word to say the exact same thing. for example: in my car = autossani. the english version contains seven letters and two spaces and the finnish one nine letters, so in the end it takes about same amount of effort to write long texts in both languages.

[eastother]

finnish numbers seem to be really long though, but you can always replace them with the number. i mean just say 9 instead of yhdeksän. :P

[savvyspirals]

That makes a lot of sense! Thanks for clearing that up. It's a beautiful language. I love listening to it, it just baffles me.

[savvyspirals]

gosh... so pretty. and frustrating.

[tyber2008]

WOW sulkasiipi this is so great

[JohnCenaFan4Evah]

it's so nice to hear that someone else than just them who are from finland, to like Finnish... actually, most people who are from finland don't like it at all... it's weird.... :P

[JohnCenaFan4Evah]

se oli musta aika kiva idea siis niille jotka haluu intohiosesti oppii suomee... :D ja kannatan että jos aijot jatkaa tätä niin osta kunnon laitteisto ja yritä päästä eroon taustakohinasta :D näitä on kiva kuunnella. Good luck!

[museww]

niimpä, hauska kuunnella vaihteeks suomenkielen opetusta ja lukee näitten kommentteja, ku toi savvyspirals sano että "Good lord, it must take ten years to write a report or something in Finnish! Your words are miles long! How do you write music and stuff, with all those syllables???" :D sillee aika hauskaa ku ei ittelle tunnu yhtää vaikeelta

[JohnCenaFan4Evah]

sulkasiipi, mistä sä sait idean tähän juttuun alkaa tehä näitä? : Sulkasiipi, where you get that idea to start to do this?

[Sulkasiipi]

en tiiä, keksin sen joskus kai 13 -vuotiaana :D

[BreonnaKay]

Sulkasiipi,...MINA RAKASTAN SINUA.!

[franky616]

god damn im german and got a finnish gf XD and now im supposed to learn finnish ...and ..omg thats impossible for me ^^ alone this word "kuusikymennentäseitsemän" -.- never ever come in my brain^^ anyway thanks for ur vids :D

[willeluoma]

Sulkasiipi olet paras!! :) fiksu vid...

Olen kakskummentäviisi, Italiasta.. :D

[Noobyownz]

Nope, no it's not. In Finland you say numbers with letters when they are under 10.

[impcirca1988]

Can Olen be used without mina for a less formal sentance?

[Sulkasiipi]

it can be used in any sentence :)

[impcirca1988]

kiitos paljan!

I find these videos very helpful for pronunciation, (especially Y and thedifferent 'a's)

[MatsuoBashoThePoet]

The beep was brilliant! You should beep more often. Finnish sounds a bit like 'Tengwar' the fictional elven language of JRR Tolkiens books on middle earth. I know he was a great researcher of various languages, maybe he drew inspiration from Finnish. Olen kahdeksantoista ^_^

[RozalinaW]

You're right! JRR Tolkien was inspired of Finnish when he created his languages :)
