Survival Finnish

In this post, I’ll tell you the essential basics of the Finnish language. This are words that are easy to know when you come to visit Finland.

Moi = Hi/hello

Kiitos = Thank you

Hyvää = Well done/good

Hyvää huomenta = Good morning

Hyvää päivää = Good afternoon

Hyvää iltaa = Good evening

Terve = formal form of ‘hello’

Nähdään = See you

Joo = Yes

Ei = No

Ole hyvä = You’re welcome

Anteeksi = Excuse me, sorry

Ei se mitään = No problem

Puhutko englantia? = Do you speak English?

En puhu suomea = I don’t speak Finnish

Sisäänkäynti = Entrance

Uloskäynti = Exit

Miehet = Gentlemen

Naiset = Ladies

Ei sisäänkäyntiä = No entry

Now I write all those sentences down, I wish I’d knew them earlier. Then some things could’ve been much more easy!
