Hello. I am currently learning Japanese. I have been studying Japanese for a quite while now, but my vocabulary isn't that great yet. I am more than happy to help anyone with Finnish. I am not a teacher so my explanations may not be that great, but I am sure I can still help you at least a little bit. I think my English is pretty good. At least I understand English very well. I make some grammatical errors every now and then. And I tend to forget articles too. Like most Finnish people, my accent is very thick. I guess it won't come as a surprise that I like anime, manga and videogames.

    "Sielunvihollinen" can be translated as devil or nemesis depending on context. Pretty uncommon word.

    The truth is that word order isn't actually too important in Finnish. Both work perfectly, both are correct. "Missä on voi?" / "Missä voi on?" are the most common since they roll on the tongue nicely. "Voi on missä?" is like you are being a bit scatterbrain, but still perfectly understandable And if you conjugate word "on" a bit you can even say "onko voi missä?" All those means exactly the same thing, and there isn't much difference in nuance either. Textbooks are bad for the reason that they usually only teach one way to say things, so don't get stuck on them.

    You never hear anyone say "olen työssä". Everyone says "Olen töissä". The ending -ssa and -ssä means you are in/at something/somewhere or doing something. I don't really know any examples where you could use "työssä". You could also say "olen tekemässä töitä", which means basically the same as "olen töissä". The meaning is the same, but you have to conjugate the word to make the sentence coherent.

    The first one is asking what is your occupation. You can just directly answer that you are student, like "Opiskelen arkkitehtuuria." And yes, second one is just asking how you spell your name.

    Of course we still speak Finnish. Weird question. Has any country given up their mother language before?

    Even when Swedish is our second language, I think the law says that any shop has to serve us in Finnish language. So yes, we speak Finnish everywhere and we are not going to quit. 


    And to be clear:

    We are taught English language since grade 3 (when we are 10). And I think the learning never ends even in schools. Even college and university of applied sciences teach you English.


    We are taught Swedish since grade 7 (when we are 14). I think you can start it earlier in some schools. However from my anecdotal experience I would say that most people can't speak Swedish at all.

    Jäätelokone

    Möin* jäätelökonetta jollekkin** Tori.fissä***. Mutta unohdin osan, joka kuuluu koneeseen.**** Pyysin anteeksi, ja joku osti koneen. ymmärtii ja oli kunnossa.***** Menen Vien jäätelökoneen postiin ja lähetän sen postilla hänelle.


    *Imperfect tense and genitive since it happened before and you did the action

    **This word can be left out. Especially since later you use "joku" again which doesn't give the impression that it is necessarily the same person buying the machine. It isn't wrong, but it sounds a bit silly to repeat the word "joku" to me.

    ***You are selling the thing in tori.fi so the ending is -ssa or -ssä depending which is more natural ending to say. I don't remember what this case was called. Examples like autossa, korissa, kaupassa, hississä.

    ****Since the part belongs to the ice cream machine, the "kone" is conjugated as "koneeseen" which I think is illative case.

    *****I don't understand this part, sorry. If you wanted to say that you included the missing part after finding it, you could say something like "löysin osan ja lisäsin sen pakettiin/korjasin koneen". If that was the case, then I would move this sentence before the apologizing.

    In the last sentence, I would specify that you send the ice cream machine to that somebody. It wasn't really wrong, but this way it is more clear in my opinion. Or you could just change the whole sentence to "Lähetän jäätelökoneen hänelle postilla".


    Sorry if the explanation is messy.

    "to see/ look/show"

    May I have a look at your toy? Voinko katsoa sinun lelua?*

    Can you please show me where I can find eggs? Voitko näyttää minulle missä munat ovat?** 

    May I see a different color in this shirt? Voinko katsoa erilaisia värejä tästä paidasta? ***


    *When looking at something you need to use partitive. That is why it becomes lelua.

    **"munia" isn't really wrong, but then it would have to be "Missä munia on?" So to keep "ovat" you would use "munat" instead. The nuance difference is that "Missä munia on?" could be said when you don't know which store has eggs. And "missä munat ovat" would be like asking from market staff if they know where they are in the market. But it isn't really wrong to use either when asking from the staff.

    **Conjugation of the "paita" has to be elative case. I am not sure how to explain this one well. It is one of the more abstract uses when the object of question has to be conjugated like that when you are asking more info related to the object.

    Muksia means to beat up someone, but it is meant in playful way and not seriously. At least in my dialect it does. Muksia comes from "mukiloida", which means the same thing but isn't playful. I don't know if some other dialects have different meaning for it.

    I think it is more about showing confidence than certainty. Like you are confident enough that your favorite sports team will win so you are willing to bet money on it. But since you can't actually know for sure nor you can see in future that your team will win it isn't confidence based on certainty. I think in situation like "I bet you can't do a flip" it still applies. You are confident in the lack of your friend's skills. But overall I don't think it is uncertainty either, no one would bet on things they know they wouldn't win.

    1) I think in this context is means like "suddenly finding yourself in x situation". Like finding a romance in this context. Or like you said: getting involved with something. 2) Improbable means unlikely, something that has low chance to occur.
