i love this series but had a question

for how are you i have read at a bunch of different places that its " mita sinulle kuuluu?

i was wondering what the difference is with or with or without the sinulle

[inFinnish]

@DeathrowSaintsVideos You can really say the "how are you" in many different ways, just like in english. You can add or leave the "sinulle" part, it only means "to you". Mitä kuuluu is literally "what (are you) hearing", pointless if you take the words literally, but like we know Finnish has it own "interesting" twists! :D

[EarthShatterer09]

you roll those "R's" so awesome!

[inFinnish]

@EarthShatterer09 Late reply but thanks! :D

Just one more thing: "Terve" is a kind of greeting? Because I said this for Fredrik and Tommi, both from embassy, but know I research in Google Translator and the translation for "terve" is "healthy". OMG, did I speak wrongly? I can't believe it! T^T

[inFinnish]

@brunnaplacido Hehe :) thanks for your comments... so you are moving to Finland? And yeah "5trpl0xer" is right, Terve means both Hello and Healthy, but Hei or Moi (also hello, hi, hey) are more common in spoken Finnish.

[inFinnish]

@KingLocoMC You could say something like "Haluaisitko lähteä kanssani ulos/leffaan/kahville" = Would you like to go out/to the movies/for a coffee with me

@XxVengeance46xX Have you already moved here? ^^

[VerityVulpes]

@martmelee You're just missing the N there, but in certain Finnish dialects you, indeed, say "siun", but then the rest of the words would be in the dialect form, too. A single word in spoken language stands out like a sore thumb.

[VerityVulpes]

@Gallantt90 Nah, you'll just sound foreign, but people will understand anyway.

@starskeexx0 "olkaa hyvä" is more formal than "ole hyvä" or can be used when you're talking to more than one person.
