What is different?

• No articles: auto = a car, the car


• No gender: hän = he, she
• Lots of endings and suffixes (instead of prepositions):

auto + ssa in the car puhu + t you speak


auto + ssa + ni in my car puhu + t +ko? do you speak?
auto + i + ssa in (the) cars puhu + i + t you spoke
What is different?

Great number of postpositions and only a few prepositions:

• ystävän kanssa with a friend


• kurssin jälkeen after the course
• Liisan takana behind Liisa
• Jussin edessä in front of Jussi

• New words by sticking two or three words together:

- matkapuhelin travel + phone = mobile phone


- tietokone knowledge + machine = computer
- sanakirja word + book = dictionary

• ”Finnicized” words (borrowed from Indo-European languages):

taksi bussi pubi


rokki musiikki presidentti

• Finnish is a phonetic language.

• Most sounds can be either short or long:
