florannaI am bored and feeling like wanting to share something about myself, without knowing exactly what. So, please ask me anything in this entry, no matter how personal, philosophical, mundane or private and I shall answer it.
Please ask.

Here lives only 500 000 people, se for someone in more 'stacked' country it feels ridiculously little. And in whole Finland lives only 5,2 million people, even if we are one of the Europe's biggest countries in area. Very sparsely populated, that is.

Date: 2012-04-14 05:58 am (UTC)And now in a bit more realistic... Xb I want to act. Sing. Perform. I was in a high scool thatis cpntemporary (?) arts, and there I was acting and performing quite much. I miss that. I miss the productions, the starting, the feel that you get in the middle when you think there is no way this can be put together, and somehow it still clicks. How you feel like you can strip in the stage and be natural about it, because it's part of the play. (no, I haven't done that, but I have stepped on my skirt so it revealed my underwear. By accident, though. ^^')

Date: 2012-04-14 06:05 pm (UTC)English, when I was 11.
German, when I was 9 but stopped when I was 15.
Swedish, when I was 12 and basically still learning. I am goddamn awful at it, though.
I can read Russian, because I studied it 4 courses in high school.

Date: 2012-04-14 06:17 pm (UTC)I'll wager your Swedish is still loads better than my puny attempts at Finnish. There aren't that many situations in life where knowing 'ei saa peittää' is crucial X D I am trying to learn a tiny bit though, because I already speak Swedish and Danish, and I'm working on Russian, and I understand Icelandic, so that sort of just leaves Finnish as a neighbouring language that I don't speak at all. Other than telling people to not cover things. And saying please. I think you told me how to say please in Finnish (ole kiltti), actually. Would be nice to be able to learn a tiny bit.

So you in Swedish and me in Finnish = weirdest vocabulary ever. Oh, oh, I remember one more word, but I may not get the spelling right: sähkölämittimen! Like it helps..

Date: 2012-04-14 07:07 pm (UTC)As a part of sentence like: Sähkölämmittimen akku on... ("Electric heater's battery is...") It makes sense, but if it was a lone word... I dunno. SHould have to see it. ^^'
no subject
Date: 2012-04-14 07:14 pm (UTC)Yeah, I really thought it was a nominative, because in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian it just said 'Panelovn/Panelugn' (Electric heater) where the Finnish said Sähkölämmittimen. I'm thinking whoever did that thing were not Finnish, and used whatever they used before Google Translate came to be..
Question: Am I right in thinking Finnish has no articles? I know Russian has no articles, but some people think Norwegian has no definite article because it becomes part of the word (ei åme - åma/åmen = a caterpillar - the caterpillar), and I know Finnish do that thing where it all becomes one word..

Edited because there's no such language as 'Russiah'

Date: 2012-04-14 08:12 pm (UTC)And I am now probably going to be reading that page all night <3 I have an unnatural fascination for grammatical systems. There's a reason I was the only German student in any of my six German classes who actually liked German grammar. German grammar's a walk in the park though, Finnish has five locatives and all that part as well. At least I know what a locative is even though we don't have it anymore..

Date: 2012-04-14 08:24 pm (UTC)We only do that thing where we put it all together with nouns and some adjectives. I sort of understand a little bit of how it works in Finnish, but yeah. Massive difference between our 'overdampskipsmotorreimmekanismeoljereparasjonsproblemløysar' (means 'Over steam boat motor strap mechanism oil reparational problem solver' and is entirely grammatically correct. It's also not the longest one we have) and your 'juoksentelisinkohan'. Yours are all complete sentences, ours are only nouns. Basically like in German when nouns do that. I think we used to have a bit more of it ages ago though, but that left when the locative and dative and all that left. Remnants here and there in some spoken dialects, but that's it.
