English to Finnish

Today=Tänään in finnish.

quack quack

That word is not Finnish.

Well, in a "formal way" it's "äiti" but we have many variatons for it.

For example there's "äippä", "mami" and "mamma" but those are more like in a cute or humorous way. The last one is also swedish. It's funny how you can hear 15-17 years-old teen girls call their mothers like that. Most of it is just family humor.

We don't have an exact mommy like the little children would call their mothers (a daddy we have. It is an "isi"). "Äiti" is the most used for children but you can hear other ways too. It depens where you are in Finland, South or North. Finland is wordy country.

There can be, of course, a "mutsi" but it's more like in slang the older teens use. You can't hear a little children say that or at least it's not in common.

Hope that helps.

I think you spell it exactly the same, but with a slightly different pronunciation.

More of a "Jen-nuh" than "Jen-ah" (if that helps).

"Olen kotona"

1: yksi

2: kaksi

3: kolme

4: neljä

5: viisi

6: kuusi

7: seitsemän

8: kahdeksan

9: yhdeksän

10: kymmenen

You could say "terveisin", if by regards you mean what you would say at the end of a letter.

Que le Bon Dieu continue à vous bénir

Pleb is not a Finnish word.

No thank you is "Ei kiitos" in Finnish.

You say "Kippis".

"Tervetuloa [PLACE]+[END]."
Enter the name of the place to the [PLACE].
But the [END] is very difficult to foreigners. You have to say the right kind of syllable at the end.
These are combined like this: [VOWEL]+n (Like in this case -an). This is determined by the last or second to last letter. Sometimes it's not normal (New York = -iin).
If the place ends in a consonant, there are two vowels at the end...

So the sentence goes like follows:
Tervetuloa Carolinaan.

Foreign names can be difficult to conjugate into Finnish, because in Finnish nouns get a suffix at the end to add meaning. For example house is talo, but in the house is talossa, into the house is taloon.

This can provide for some awkward versions of foreign place names. In this case it would be most natural to pronounce Carolina like you would in English, but stretching the last "a" and adding the n.

"Olen hyvä." (Means I am good at something, or good in general.)

If this was meant as a response to the question "How are you?" ("Miten menee" in Finnish), then the answer would be "Hyvin".

Pikkutyttö or pieni tyttö

"Never give up" is "älä koskaan Anna periksi" in Finnish.

Smile is simply "hymy" :)

That would be "Hei, halusitko sinä kysyä jotakin minulta?".

"Maali". Maa - li

Finns don't say "seasons greetings" so often and it doesn't have an actual translation. But they can wish each other happy summer "hyvää kesää", happy winter "hyvää talvea", happy fall "hyvää syksyä" and happy spring "hyvää kevättä".

Of those four the "hyvää kesää" is used the most often, and the second often used is "hyvää kevättä". The most rare greeting of those is "hyvää talvea".

"je parle français" means I speak French.

very ironic, eh?

"Mitä" (mi - tä) means "what" in Finnish.
