Lesson 11 With Audio file! - Nice to meet you!
AUDIO FILES ADDED.
All the conversations (in bold) are included. download here Before learning this lesson, be sure you know - numbers up to 100 - personal pronouns and their genitive forms (minä - minun, sinä - sinun etc.) - Present tense of the verb 'olla' - Possessive suffixes. All these are taught in lessons 8 and 9. Hei. Minä olen Mirja. Hauska tavata! Hi. I'm Mirja. Nice to meet you! - Hei, minä olen Mary. Tässä on Anu. Hi, I'm Mary. This is Anu. - Hei, minä olen Peter. Hi, I'm Peter. - Tässä on ystäväni John. This is my friend John. - Hei, hauska tavata, minä olen Minna. Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Minna. - Saanko esitellä, professori Smith, tohtori Salonen. - Hauska tavata. When introducing someone to someone you can say tässä on 'this is/here is'. A more formal way is to say "saanko esitellä", "may I introduce". In everyday Finnish it isn't necessary or even very common to introduce person by using words such as 'rouva' (mrs.), 'herra' (mr.) or 'neiti' (miss). We prefer to use person's professional title and last name, full name or just the first name. Tässä on professori Jokelainen. This is professor Jokelainen. Tässä on Mikko Jokelainen. This is Mikko Jokelainen. Tässä on Mikko. This is Mikko. - Kuka tuo mies on? Who's that man? - Hän on professori Smith. He's professor Smith. - Kuka tuo nainen on? Who's that woman? - Hän on hyvä ystäväni Leena. She's my good friend Leena. - No hei. Kuka sinä olet? Well hi. Who are you? - Olen Viljami. I'm Viljami. - Kuinka vanha sinä olet? How old are you? - Viisi. Viisi vuotta. Five, five years. To refresh your mind, here are personal pronouns and the conjugation of 'olla'. minä olen - i am sinä olet - you are hän on - he/she is me olemme - we are te olette - you pl. are he ovat - they are Because the person is obvious from the endings of the verb, the personal pronouns for minä, sinä, me, te are not always nevessary to use, but the pronouns hän and he are used. minä olen = olen sinä olet = olet me olemme = olemme te olette = olette hän on = hän on ! he ovat = he ovat ! When a question starts with a question word, the verb usually comes last: kuka sinä olet? - who are you? Some words: perhe - family vaimo - wife mies - husband, ma lapsi - child poika - boy, son tytär - daughter tyttö - girl äiti - mother isä - father sisko - sister veli - brother perheeni - my family ystävä, kaveri - friend tyttöystävä - girlfriend poikaystävä - boyfriend Jobs: opiskelija - student opettaja - teacher johtaja - boss lakimies - lawyer lääkäri - doctor, physician - Olen Kaisa. Olen opiskelija. I'm Kaisa. I'm a student. - Minä olen Sirpa. Olen opettaja. I'm Sirpa. I'm a teacher. - Olen työssä yliopistossa. I work at the university. Spoken language: - Kuka sä oot? Who are you? - Mä oon Viljami. I'm Viljami. - Tää on meiän kissa. This is our cat. - Oi! Mikä sen nimi on? Oh! What's his name? - Santtu. - Voi, kis kis kis.. Oh, kitty kitty kitty.. EXERCISES 1. Introduce a) yourself b) your friend c) your sister Minna 2. Fill in the right form of the verb olla! a) minä ... Maija Mattila. b) hän ... kotona (at home) c) me ... talossa d) kuka sinä ... ? 3. Translate into Finnish a) This is my book. b) This book is mine. c) This is yours. d) This is their hotel. e) Rober is your son. 4. Translate the conversations into Finnish. this - tämä that - tuo book - kirja car - auto hotel - hotelli "se" (it) and "ne" (they) are used in spoken language and dialects in many parts of Finland as personal pronouns. In standard Finnish they are used to indicate things, objects and animals. Se on museo - it is a museum se on kissa - it is a cat ne ovat tomaatteja - they are tomatoes.

a) minä ..Olen.. Maija Mattila.
b) hän ..on... kotona (at home) c) me ..olemme.. talossa d) kuka sinä .olet .. ? would that be * who are you ? * correct and it is 'who are you'  i was just browsing the site of oulu city library and noticed that they have some finnish courses that include a book and a cd.. so i think i'll go and borrow one and upload some audio files.
