Pocahontas - Colors Of The Wind - English into Finnish

[MissesAriane]

Tiedä or tiendän = 'to know' ?

Voitko = 'Can' ?

Väreillä = Wind ?

Maan = Earth ?

Kaikilla = 'To paint' or Colors ?

Mittä = You ?

I'm trying to understand the Finnish lyrics, it's interesting ^^

[ennaahhagain]

@MissesAriane haha, well some are almost correct

Tietää = to know / Tiedän = I know

Voida = Can / Voitko = Can you

Väreillä = With colors / Väri = Color

Maan = Earth's / Maa = Earth

Kaikilla = With all / Kaikki = All

Mitä = What

Sinä = You

Finnish is hard so don't worry :D

[MissesAriane]

@ennaahhagain Yes, I see :)

But a beautiful language and no many people know that.

Rakastan kaunista kieltä

Mutta se on liian vaikea oppia (Google translator ^^)

@MissesAriane Quite bold to use google translator when trying to get it in Finnish, but that turned out surprisingly well. ^^ I have seen way worse google translations (for ex. someone said that "I love to eat your babys" or something like that, when they tried to compliment a Finnish band). Finnish is a hard language, because everything from verbs to nouns etc. kind of "transform" depending on a bunch of different things. It's slightly complicated to try and explain properly. :'D

@MarriArt Well, I looked for every word 3 times, so... But I saw that Finnish can have more than 10 different ways of 1 word. Ex: Maailman = world + Maailma = world

[iHiHiu]

@MissesAriane Actually those are Finnish cases:) Maailman=World's, maailma=world, maailmaa=world (as an object in sentence), maailmassa=in the world, maailmasta=from the world, maailmaan=into the world, maailmalla= on the world, maailmalta=from the world, maailmalle= to the world, maailmana=as a world... And there are more:) Funfact, word "maailma" comes from words "maa"=land and "ilma"=air.. Clever thing :-------D
