The Little Mermaid - Part of Your World - English into Finnish

[HungarianMovies]

That's such a great idea! I've also been planning for years to translate the TLK Broadway songs into Hungarian, but I just didn't get to do it yet, maybe soon... :)

While listening, I was trying soo hard to figure out what each word means, but I can't get further then few like "maailma=world"...^^

[ennaahhagain]

@HungarianMovies Go ahead, this was sooo much of fun!

[PhantomKat7]

Oh wow, thanks for this video! I study Finnish in my spare time (such a beautiful language), so this is pretty useful! :)

"I got twenty" in Finnish it's all that long sentence, "Minulla on niitä kaksikymmentä"? XD

That's a very long sentence just to say i got twenty, LOL! :D

[CandyflossPrinsessan]

@0007Laranja0007 You can take that "niitä" word away. That means "those" and you don't need it.

And in spoken language it's "Mulla on kakskymmentä" :)

[0007Laranja0007]

@CandyflossPrinsessan So "kakskymmentä" it's twenty in Finnish?

[CandyflossPrinsessan]

@0007Laranja0007 yes, in spoken language :D in written/official language it "kaksikymmentä"

[0007Laranja0007]

@CandyflossPrinsessan I didn't know there were differences from spoken and written language in Finnish. But that's surelly a big word just for twenty! XD

It seems to me that Finnish language has always these big words, that's why i think it's one of the most difficult languages for me to learn! :)

In Portuguese twenty it's just "vinte" by the way! XD

[CandyflossPrinsessan]

@0007Laranja0007 Written language is the official language and every one of us know it. But we all speak some dialect/slang. In Disney movies, they usually speak in the dialect of Helsinki-area.

Finnish has big word just because we don't use articles or prepositions at all. If we want to say "in the house" we say "talossa".

Big numbers are always really long words in Finnish ;D 5834 would be: "viisituhattakahdeksansataakol­mekymmentäneljä"

[0007Laranja0007]

@CandyflossPrinsessan That's why i find Finnish so difficult and confusing! I can't imagine a sentence without prepositions! XD

And because of the sounds too. It seems to me that Finnish has a lot of different sounds that English and Portuguese don't have. That would be a problem for me too! :P

And that number is scary!!!!! 0.0

[iHiHiu]

@0007Laranja0007 We Finns are lazy when we talk, like when we say numbers quickly that "kaksikymmentä"-monster is easily also "kakskyt" and for example numver 22 -> "kaksikymmentäkaksi" is "kaakaa" xD

I would say nearest pronouncing system for Finnish is Japanese, Spanish isn't that far either. And different sounds are Ä and Ö + Y is pronoced as ü. And we don't use all consonats much.. Like B, C, D, G, Z, X, Q, W are rare for FInnish:P

[0007Laranja0007]

@iHiHiu LOL! "kaakaa" looks so funny! XD

That's good because Portuguese sounds are similar to Spanish, maybe i can learn Finnish someday! :D

[iHiHiu]

@0007Laranja0007 Nice if you like Finnish (at least a bit).. It's so sad to hear often how "weird/ugly/stupid" our language is..:/ sure it's different than indo-european languages but I don't see why it would be a bad thing..

[iHiHiu]

@0007Laranja0007 And btw, imagine the hell we have when we study English and Swedish.. All those prepositions! D: (Finnish system is much harder but when it's your 1st language it's easy ofc:D)

[0007Laranja0007]

@iHiHiu Yes, that make sence! :)

It's hard to learn to writte and speak with no prepositions but it's also hard to learn all the prepositions when your mother langauge doesn't have none! X)

[PhantomKat7]

@0007Laranja0007 Colloquial Finnish can be pretty confusing, that's for sure. You have shortened words like "minusta" --> "musta" "olen" --> "oon" and other things. I mean, spoken English (and spoken Spanish, in my case) isn't as different. xD

[0007Laranja0007]

@PhantomKat7 Finnish sounds really difficult to me! x)

It's funny that you speak Spanish and you are learning Finnish in your spare times.

I am Portuguese and i am learning Norwegian in my spare times! :)

I love the Nordic languages, they are so different from the Romanic languages but sound so beautiful! :)

[DisneyPrinsessen123]

Does "katso" mean look? :DD If so, I've learned something new today XD

[PhantomKat7]

@DisneyPrinsessen123 Yep, "katso" means "look" in the imperative case, as in, you're commanding someone to look. Add an "-n" ("katson") and you have "I look". ^^ (I'm not Finnish, but I do study it a bit in my spare time.)

[ennaahhagain]

@DisneyPrinsessen123 Yes, and in Italian Katso merta (in finnish it means look at the ocean) means something naughty x) ... If I remember right...

[0007Laranja0007]

Lol! Great idea! :D

I don't understand Finnish so i can't say nothing! XD

I think i'll do this for Portuguese too! :D

[ennaahhagain]

@0007Laranja0007 Thanks! I will do more this kind of videos, too. But just some most favourited disney songs.

[ChanahEmiliania]

This is so cool! :D

I have a question: At 2:09, why you have "ja" in parentheses? It means "and", right?

[ennaahhagain]

@ChanahEmiliania Yes, ja means and. after all it's quite useless there, so luckily I used parentheses.

[TheMoreTheMerrier21]

Great translation! :D

By the way, "thing-a-mabobs" means all sorts of various things and stuff. It's not a serious word altogether though, so it's ok to be a bit off in the translating part. Paljon kiitoksia! :)

[ennaahhagain]

@TheMoreTheMerrier21 Thanks, great to learn something new every day ;)
