    Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index This article deals with features of the spoken Finnish language . It will only make limited sense without the information contained in the Finnish language phonetics and Finnish language grammar pages. As in any language, the spoken version(s) of Finnish vary, sometimes markedly, from the written form. Some of these variations are due to speakers' inexactitude, but some aspects of spoken Finnish have different grammatical properties from written Finnish. There are also a number of grammatical forms which are used in written Finnish, but only very rarely in spoken. For example, there are a number of constructions using participles which are usually redered analytically in speech. For example: !MORE HERE Since the stress in Finnish always falls on the first syllable of the word, the ends of words greater than one syllable tend to erode. This is frequently by the loss of a final vowel, or assimilation of a final vowel with a preceding vowel: 'anteeksi!' = 'sorry!' -> 'anteeks!'

    Extractions: Here is a short list of Finnish ( country: Suomi ) place names in .au form: Helsinki Tampere Turku Espoo ... Rovaniemi An excerpt from the article "Finnish" in the book "The Languages of the World" by Kenneth Katzner , rev. edition 1986, Routledge, London 1990. The sample (Katzner's choice?) is not "a very good one" for any attempt to give a casual reader an insight to linguistical structures or forms of the Finnish language - the contents of this excerpt of the fine book are "too philosophical" for this purpose. However, the voice sample gives you some picture about the intonation and tonal structure of the language. Finnish In local real audio "For I, Sinuhe, am a human being. I have lived in everyone who existed before me and shall live in all who come after me. I shall live in human tears and laughter, in human sorrow and fear, in human goodness and wickedness, in justice and injustice, in weakness and strength. As a human being I shall live eternally in mankind. I desire no offerings at my tomb and no immortality for my name. This was written by Sinuhe, the Egyptian, who lived alone all the days of his life." - MIKA WALTARI, The Egyptian (1954)

37. The Finnish Language In The United States
    The finnish language in the United States. Selma Siiri Sahlman. The finnish language of these early settlers was, however, at an early date displaced by English.  
    http://www.genealogia.fi/emi/art/article181e.htm
    
    Extractions: End of article The Finnish language in Finland has developed in a comparatively short time to such a great extent that individuals who have not had contact with Finnish in its native country have many difficulties in understanding it. The constant change in Finnish has been overwhelming. This accounts for the fact that Finns arriving today in the United States encounter a language spoken by the older immigrants that is very different from what they are accustomed to. Inasmuch as immigration into the United States from Finland took place chiefly in the years between 1850 and 1914, it is only natural that the language which the immigrants carried over was a tongue spoken at the time of their departure from their native country. The first Finns, however, arrived on the Delaware at the time the colony of New Sweden was founded. It is believed that the Finns formed the majority of the settlers in that colony, and they cleared such regions as the site of Philadelphia for civilization. The Finnish language of these early settlers was, however, at an early date displaced by English. The Finnish language before World War I had already achieved a standard speech level which, however, was greatly modified later on. Swedish had been the language of the educated classes in Finland, and it was the language of the schools during a long period. The Finnish nationalist movement, which started in the middle decades of the nineteenth century, maintained the equality of the Finnish language with the Swedish. The Finnish speech in common use contained a host of Swedish words for which there were native equivalents. Since the tendency to clear the land of Swedish elements grew stronger and stronger during the immediate period after Finnish independence in 1917, it is easy to understand that the transmission of those foreign elements to the American continent is largely due to the immigrants who brought their speech habits with them.

    Extractions: Drawings by Pekka Vuori It is fair to say that Finnish is rather difficult to learn for anyone who does not speak one of the Finno-Ugric languages. Even for those who do there are problems. For instance, Finnish and Hungarian belong to the Finno-Ugric group but they are far from being mutually comprehensible, as far apart as, say, Russian and Gaelic. It's not that Finnish is inherently difficult; but its origins make it different from most of the other languages of Europe. There are a few exceptions: Finnish and Estonian are closely related and there are a few other small kindred languages such as Lapp, also known as Saame, which is spoken in the northern parts of Scandinavia, and the Kola Peninsula of north-western Russia. Other Finno-Ugric languages are spoken here and there in eastern Europe and Russia parts of the Eurasian landmass. So, for fun rather than academic advancement Virtual Finland here offers you a chance to learn a few Finnish pleasantries that could be really useful if you have the good fortune to visit Finland. Click on the Finnish words to hear how to say them.
