Suomen Kieli (Kello)

In Finnish, telling time follows a specific structure, and understanding it can help you get the hang of the language. Here’s a guide with examples on how to tell the time in Finnish, both in the exact hour and when using half hours, quarters, and minutes.

Key Phrases to Know:

• Kello on = "The time is" or "It’s"
• Tasan = "Exactly" or "sharp"
• Yli = "Past" (used when it’s past the hour)
• Vaille = "To" (used when it’s before the next hour)
• Puoli = "Half" (used for half-past the hour)
• Minuutti = "Minute"

Exact Hour Examples (Tasan)

1. 12:00 - Kello on tasan kaksitoista.
   (It’s exactly twelve o’clock.)

2. 1:00 - Kello on tasan yksi.
   (It’s exactly one o’clock.)

3. 5:00 - Kello on tasan viisi.
   (It’s exactly five o’clock.)

---

Half-Past the Hour (Puoli)

In Finnish, when you say half-past the hour, it is expressed as half to the next hour. For example, 4:30 is half-past four, but in Finnish, it’s "half to five."

1. 4:30 - Kello on puoli viisi.
   (It’s half to five.)

2. 8:30 - Kello on puoli yhdeksän.
   (It’s half to nine.)

Minutes Past the Hour (Yli)

When telling time past the hour, yli means "past" the hour.

1. 5:10 - Kello on kymmenen yli viisi.
   (It’s ten past five.)

2. 9:15 - Kello on viisitoista yli yhdeksän.
   (It’s fifteen past nine.)

3. 2:25 - Kello on kaksikymmentäviisi yli kaksi.
   (It’s twenty-five past two.)

---

Minutes to the Hour (Vaille)

When telling time before the hour, vaille means "to" the next hour.

1. 3:45 - Kello on varttia vaille neljä.
   (It’s a quarter to four.)

2. 7:50 - Kello on kymmentä vaille kahdeksan.
   (It’s ten to eight.)

24 hours (Suomen Kieli)

24-hour cycle ("vuorokausi" in Finnish) divided into different parts of the day. It explains the Finnish words for various times of the day and the respective forms used to describe "when" something happens.

Here’s a breakdown of the sections:

1. **Aamu (Morning)**

   - "aamu" = morning

   - "aamulla" = in the morning

   - "aamupäivä" = forenoon (late morning, before noon)

   - "aamupäivällä" = during the forenoon

2. **Päivä (Day)**

   - "päivä" = day

   - "päivällä" = during the day

   - "iltapäivä" = afternoon

   - "iltapäivällä" = in the afternoon

3. **Ilta (Evening)**

   - "ilta" = evening

   - "illalla" = in the evening

4. **Yö (Night)**

   - "yö" = night

   - "yöllä" = at night

   - "aamuyö" = early morning (the time between night and dawn)

   - "aamuyöllä" = during early morning

### Example:

- "Aamulla herään." = I wake up in the morning.

- "Päivällä syön lounasta." = I have lunch during the day.

- "Illalla katson elokuvaa." = I watch a movie in the evening.

- "Yöllä nukun." = I sleep at night.

This structure helps you express when activities happen during different parts of the day in Finnish.

Suomen Kieli (Partitiivi)

What is Partitiivi?

The partitiivi is a case in Finnish that is often used to show:

1. Incomplete actions: “I am eating a cake” (but I haven’t finished it yet).
2. Uncountable things: “water,” “some milk.”
3. After negative sentences: “I don’t have money.”

In English, it’s similar to using some or any, like “I have some cake” or “I don’t have any money.”

How to Form the Partitiivi?

There are a few common ways to form the partitiivi, depending on the word.

1. Add -a / -ä for most words ending in a consonant (like talo = house):

• Talo (house) → Taloa (some house)
• Auto (car) → Autoa (some car)

2. Add -ta / -tä for some other words:

• Mies (man) → Miestä (some man)
• Kissa (cat) → Kissaa (some cat)

3. Add -tta / -ttä for words ending in nen (like nainen = woman):

• Nainen (woman) → Naista (some woman)

When to Use Partitiivi?

1. With Incomplete Actions:

   • Syön kakkua = I am eating (some) cake.
   • Odotan bussia = I am waiting for the bus.
     (You haven’t finished eating or waiting yet.)

2. With Negative Sentences:

   • En syö kakkua = I am not eating cake.
   • Minulla ei ole rahaa = I don’t have money.

3. When talking about Uncountable Things or Undefined Amounts:

   • Juo maitoa = Drink (some) milk.
   • Ostan kahvia = I’m buying (some) coffee.

4. With Numbers (for multiples):

   • Minulla on kaksi koiraa = I have two dogs. (Notice that koira becomes koiraa after the number.)

Singular vs. Plural:

• Singular:
  • Koira (dog) → Koiraa (some dog)
• Plural:
  • Koirat (dogs) → Koiria (some dogs)

Quick Examples:

1. Juon vettä = I drink (some) water.
2. Haluan omenaa = I want (some) apple.
3. Ei ole rahaa = There is no money.

Quick Exercise:

Try to form the partitiivi of these words:

1. Talo (house) → ?
2. Kakku (cake) → ?
3. Kissa (cat) → ?

Answers:

1. Taloa = Some house
2. Kakkua = Some cake
3. Kissaa = Some cat

Key Points:

• -a / -ä for most singular words.
• Use partitiivi for unfinished actions, negatives, uncountable things, and numbers.
• It often translates to “some” or “any” in English.

Suomen Kieli (Genetiivi)

What is Genetiivi?

Genetiivi is the possessive form in Finnish, and it’s used to show ownership or belonging. It’s similar to adding ’s or of in English. For example, "the dog’s toy" or "the name of the book."

How to Form the Genetiivi?

For most words, you add an -n to the basic form (nominative) of the word.

Examples:

1. Koira (dog) → Koiran (the dog's)
2. Talo (house) → Talon (the house's)

How to Use Genetiivi?

1. To show possession:

   • Koiran lelu = The dog’s toy.
   • Talon katto = The roof of the house.

2. With certain verbs:

   • Odotan bussia = I’m waiting for the bus. (Bussi → bussia in this case.)

3. With prepositions and postpositions:

   • Auton takana = Behind the car.
   • Taloon asti = Until the house.

Singular and Plural:

• Singular: Add -n to the nominative.
  • Talo → Talon = House’s

  • Talot → Talojen = Houses’

Irregular Examples:

Some words have exceptions or slight changes:

• Mies (man) → Miehen (the man’s)

Quick Exercise:

Try to form the genetiivi of these words:

1. Kirja (book) → ?
2. Auto (car) → ?
3. Nainen (woman) → ?

Answers:

1. Kirjan = The book’s
2. Auton = The car’s

Suomen kieli (Vokaaliharmonia. Tuleeko ssa vai ssä)

Vokaaliharmonia in Finnish – An Easy Guide

Vokaaliharmonia (vowel harmony) is one of the key features in Finnish grammar. It means that certain vowels in a word dictate which vowels can appear in suffixes or endings attached to that word. This rule helps maintain the natural flow and sound of the language.

How Vokaaliharmonia Works

Finnish vowels are divided into three groups:

1. Front vowels: ä, ö, y
2. Back vowels: a, o, u
3. Neutral vowels: e, i

Vowel Harmony Rules:

1. Front vowels (ä, ö, y) can only appear with other front vowels in the word and its suffixes.

   • Example: hämärä (dim) → hämärässä (in the dim light)

2. Back vowels (a, o, u) can only appear with other back vowels in the word and its suffixes.

   • Example: talo (house) → talossa (in the house)

3. Neutral vowels (e, i) can appear with either front or back vowels but do not influence vowel harmony.

   • Example with front vowels: tyttö (girl) → tytössä (in the girl)
   • Example with back vowels: kissa (cat) → kissassa (in the cat)

Suffixes and Vowel Harmony

When you add suffixes to Finnish words (for example, to show location or possession), the vowels in the suffix must match the vowels in the base word.

• If a word contains front vowels (ä, ö, y), the suffix will use front vowels.
• If a word contains back vowels (a, o, u), the suffix will use back vowels.

Examples:

• Back vowel word: pallo (ball) → pallossa (in the ball)
• Front vowel word: kynä (pen) → kynässä (in the pen)

Notice that pallo takes -ssa while kynä takes -ssä because the first word has back vowels, and the second has front vowels.

Words with Neutral Vowels

When a word contains only neutral vowels (e, i), the vowel harmony depends on any additional vowels in the word:

• Front vowel suffix: if the word has only e and i but also front vowels (ä, ö, y).
• Back vowel suffix: if the word has only e and i but also back vowels (a, o, u).

Examples:

• tie (road) → tiellä (on the road) – neutral vowels i, e take the front vowel suffix.
• talo (house) → talossa (in the house) – neutral vowel i follows the back vowel harmony of a, o.

---

Common Suffixes Using Vowel Harmony

• Inessive (where something is):

  • Back vowel: -ssa (e.g., talossa - in the house)
  • Front vowel: -ssä (e.g., kynässä - in the pen)

• Elative (from somewhere):

  • Back vowel: -sta (e.g., talosta - from the house)
  • Front vowel: -stä (e.g., kynästä - from the pen)

• Genitive (possession):

  • Back vowel: -n (e.g., talo → talon - of the house)
  • Front vowel: -n (e.g., kynä → kynän - of the pen)

---

Summary of Vowel Harmony in Finnish:

• Words with back vowels (a, o, u) take suffixes with back vowels.
• Words with front vowels (ä, ö, y) take suffixes with front vowels.
• Neutral vowels (e, i) do not affect vowel harmony but follow the dominant vowel type of the word.
