viel harter als deutsch.. the noun declensions of finnish leaves a lot more to be memorised. and its so hard for a student of the language to be able to decline instinctivly
@matineesuxxx Definitely, ich studiere Deutsch aber meinen Vater is Finnsoesich also ich will Finnisch auch lernen...viel harter! He is pretty rubbish at explaining Finnish grammar ;)
@HotelBushranger ahh that sucks eh man lol but ya like your dad learned it growing up right. its like me trying to explain exactly why english is the way it is to a german.. i wouldnt be able to lol.. but german people holy crap man they know the ins and outs of german
@matineesuxxx Lol you reckon? Most of the ones I ask just say 'it's just how it is!' Argh! Although most English speakers would say the same, it's only through studying German that I've come to (somewhat) understand English grammar.
Really? That's weird, I find the two before this one to be much more difficult than this one. I thought this lesson was very well done and easy to understand.
In case of negation the negating word is the part of the verb that shows number and person, main verb being in a form that is identical with imperative. Like this:
I am studying Finnish at the moment and I have to say that it is very hard language. People love to listen my Finnish ;)..hi hi hi because it is more like a puzzle for them to guess what I want to say..well, always think in the positive way.
I'm close to fluent in Finnish and I still don't understand a lot of this... sometimes I can figure out what's right just from what "sounds" right, but I often have trouble figuring out why it's right, and I still often get it wrong. This is probably one of the harder things to master in Finnish.
Don't worry, even finns don't understand why something is right in the grammar. That's a thing about languages in general, if you learn them in the natural way - by hearing and imitating - you don't need to care much about grammar, you get an intuition. In adult age, some languages are easier to learn in a more "technical" way, by memorizing rules. Finnish may not be one of them... so for serious learning I suggest a "language bath" in Finland. :-)
@FinnHawk I have a strange and bizarre obsession w/ studying and learning to speak other languages. What i've come to learn is that if you're looking to learn to speak a language... you don't really need to understand the reasoning behind grammar. For example: most native english speakers don't understand how the grammar works... but they know how to use it. HOWEVER, it might be good to be familiar with some of the grammar... or just the basics.
Has there been a borrowing of the word boy from Finnish to Swedish?
Poika - Pojke. Very similar. And in Norwegian and Danish the world is dreng, so that would explain why Swedish is the odd one out.

Actually, "I don't go" is "Minä en mene"
In case of negation the negating word is the part of the verb that shows number and person, main verb being in a form that is identical with imperative. Like this:
minä en mene
sinä et mene
hän ei mene
me emme mene
te ette mene
he eivät mene

Did you forget to mention/explain the pöyTä -> pöyDällä thing.
...though it's not like that with "auto" because it is (quite old) a loan word. :p
