@britinfinland: There’s the standard way, the shortened way and the shortened shortened way to count in Finnish 😂 and then in the latter, there are variations also. When you learn that seiska, kasi, and ysi are just numbers, then you suddenly start understanding much more Finnish 😅 I wonder if native Finnish speakers find this weird to point out like it isn’t just second nature? What do you think? 😂 #finnishthings #opisuomea #LanguageLearning #lifeinfinland #britishexpat

These videos are really fascinating to watch, because you don’t really think about these things ever as a native speaker. Nice to get an outside perspective that makes you really think about the weird ways we speak.

I think that all this time I’ve been pronouncing the number 9 like yhdeksan similar to kahdeksan when it should be yhdeksän with the ä! 🤯

”Yy kaa koo” toimii vaan, kun lasket numeroita peräkkäin. Muussa yhteydessä kukaan ei tajua ”yytä”, ”kaata” tai ”koota” 😅

just fyi the shortened shortened versions are only used when counting numbers not when said a singular number.

they remove the D because the D wasn't originally in the Finnish language, it was added during the era where people started writing things and they had to come up with spellings.

8 on kasi, koska 2 on jo kaa. Yhdeksän on ysi, koska 1 on jo yy. Etteivät mene sekaisin. 😁 Ja 10 voi sanoa myös kybä. 😂 Kyllä on vaikeaa todella!

Osaatko laskea sataanviiteenkymmeneentuhanteenkahdeksaansataankuuteenkymmeneenviiteen? Kun olet tehnyt sen sadannettakymmenettäviidennettätuhannettakahdeksannettasadannettakuudennettakymmenettäviidennettä kertaa, niin sitten osaat. It never ends! Keep on going! 😛 Nimimerkillä. Sataviisikymmentätuhattakahdeksansataakuusikymmentäviisi. You really can go crazy, if you take it too seriously. 👻
