How to say 'go cross country skiing' ?
Quick question, how do I say "We will go cross country skiing." in Finnish?
Is it, "Me menemme maastohiihto." or is 'maastohiihto' actually a verb to be conjugated?
An important Finnish phrase, to be sure!
Thank you in advance!

Hi Greg!
`Maastohiihto` is actually the name of the sport, cross country skiing. However, because Finnish is a freaky language, you have to conjugate the subjunctive as well. The correct form is " Me menemme maastohiihtämään." In English it could be directly translated "We are going to cross country ski."
I hope this was helpful!

Actually Greg, we wouldn't say "maastohiihtämään".
We would just say: "Menemme hiihtämään", as it is a given that it's cross-country.
If we go do slalom, we say: "Menemme laskettelemaan." (downhill skiing)
