Sini TuuliaFinnish lesson of the day: Duct tape is colloquially known as jeesusteippi. Because Jesus saves you, duct tape saves you, makes perfect sense. All small not capitalised because it's a general item and not a name, and also casually blasphemous for fun, which is extremely on brand for Finnish!It's also shortened to the diminutives jesse and jesari. Used in a sentence: "Laita vähän jesaria, kyllä se siitä." Apply some duct tape, it'll be fine. "Jessellähän minä." Well, I did in fact repair it with some duct tape, actually.<a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Finnish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Finnish</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Language</a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/SuomenKieli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SuomenKieli</a>

FlorianSo interesting to be learning a <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#language</a> where pausing or sustaining a sound longer than usual can actually change the word you're saying. I catch myself doing this to give myself a bit of breathing room to aid in language production but of course i'm picking the language where doing that may actually make you unintelligible :) <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/finnish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#finnish</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/suomi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#suomi</a> <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/Linguistics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linguistics</a>

It means that <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/children" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#children</a> dress as witches and knock at neighbours' doors while carrying salix tree branches decorated with colourful feathers and crêpe paper.

Lars WirzeniusA language where words are easily confused can be confusing. Finnish, however, is perfectly easy to understand:palaa = something returns; something burns; many pieces kuusi = spruce tree; the number six; your moonOne might say "kuusi palaa" when one wants six pieces of sugar in one's tea, the spruce tree is on fire; or to tell someone their moon will come back. These are not situations that are easily confused with other.<a href="https://toot.liw.fi/tags/Finnish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Finnish</a> <a href="https://toot.liw.fi/tags/ambiguous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ambiguous</a>

dearcoucou神奇的事情發生了，兩個月前完全看不懂聽不清的B1題目，現在可以做到90%正確率～發現親愛的大腦跑得比眼睛快，能夠理解大意且做對題目。訣竅是告訴自己不要嘗試理解每個單詞變位，不要試圖跟自己解釋語法，相信自己培養出來的語感結果就對了(⁎⁍̴̛ᴗ⁍̴̛⁎)<a href="https://g0v.social/tags/Finnish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Finnish</a>

David Llewellyn-JonesYesterday I visited the Finnish Church in London Spring Fair and stocked up on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Finnish" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Finnish</a> delicacies.
