  • kyse oli pisimmästä suomen kielisestä sanasta ei yhdyssanasta eli vain yksi sana,jossa on sitten liitteitä ja päätteitä yms.

  • no hahaha apua kuinka vaikeeta....

  • It's not hard to learn the words, but to speak it properly.. Pronouncing correctly.. Try it out yourself. Extremely hard.

  • lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottor­iapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppila­s is longest :D

  • finnish is not that hard to learn, its just different to what most people are used to

  • And to be more clear as a Finnish person English has never been too hard for me, it's easy to learn... But French... I've been studying it for years but its still difficult because its so different comparing to my native language. Then again South European people don't have as much difficulties with French or other languages in that area because they are so similar but for them English might be hard. This is just my opinion though..

  • People there isn't a correct answer to question "which language is the hardest one to learn". There is huge list of languages that are harder to learn than others. This list contains for example Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian, Arabic, Cantonese, Japanese and Polish. The first 3 ones are among the hardest because of the countless noun cases and they are hard to pronounce because of the long tong twisting consonants.In my opinion different cultures find different languages more difficult than others

  • Kumarreksituteskeenteleentuvai­sehkollaismaisekkuudellisennes­kenteluttelemattomammuuksissan­sakkaankopahan on pisin yksittäinen sana.

  • Let's add all Dravidian languages to the agglutinative group too...I am a native Tamil speaker, and Finnish verb endings (?) sound so natural and intuitive to me. I'm not a linguist and it was quite a nice shock to discover this trait shared by other languages as well :)

  • @chenkuuuu I'm a Polish native speaker and I happen to know both Chinese and Japanese which you called world's most difficult. And I can totally assure you they're not. In fact, they're quite easy to learn. Polish on the other hand is much more difficult. I don't speak Finnish, but as a linguist I have enough knowledge to say it's not that bad :) It is difficult, but I wouldn't say it's harder than Polish or Czech. And it's pronunciation is (at least for Polish speakers) quite easy :)
