We sometimes say in Finnish along the lines of: "Sinä olet kyllä aika velho" = "You are really quite a wizard" to denote that somebody is really great at something, especially computer stuff.

On aina mukava nähdä näin suomalaisena, kun joku haluaa opetella tätä meidän melko erilaista kieltä :D
Tsemppiä opiskeluun, jos vielä jatkat! Olit jo hyvin päässyt tässä videossa liikkeelle 👍🏼

I started usimg duo when you briefly mentioned it a few videos back, thank you! Love your videos and the randomness of it. Oh and yes, I've cleaned my house with you 😂

I'm just learning finnish and it was fun to watch this

13:27 In this case the you is plural or the formal singular you. Latter is been phased out as many consider it impolite as either you consider the other higher rank or status (which Finns dislike) or older.

I have Rosetta Stone. I wanted to learn Finnish, but they didn’t have it. I settled for Swedish, but I want to try Duolingo.

14:06 Et = (singular) you don't. Eivät = they don't.

Those of you who have tried both: Which one is better for Finnish, Duolingo or Speakly? I'm a Finn myself but would like to know which one can be recommended out of these two fairly similar apps.

How do you select the words with keyboard?

[TheArseen]

10:16 Ettekö = (plural )You don't?

[TheArseen]

6:45 You don't is correct and more natural translation

[wallacewells]

You're doing great, but Duolingo won't teach you important words like 😔

Duolingo's Finnish course is too bad, there are only 23 units, and no grammar, it's just a waste of time
