I 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.

And this is what I always find funny:

istua "to sit down" (istun "I sit down")
istahtaa "to sit down for a while"
istahdan "I'll sit down for a while"
istahtaisin "I would sit down for a while"
istahtaisinko "should I sit down for a while?"
istahtaisinkohan "I wonder if I should sit down for a while"

Yes! This is probably my favourite thing about how the Finnish language works! : D Put something else in, and it changes the whole word, plus one word with loads of things put into it equals a whole sentence in pretty much every single other language. Brilliant <3

Is the 'ko' bit by any chance related to it being a question rather than a statement?
