Hi Chris,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a comment.

You can search for that in our dictionary, then add it to your Word Bank and sync it to Flashcards.👍

Looking forward to seeing you often here.

Flashcards should include phrases from the dialogue. Especially important ones like "Mikä sinun nimesi on?"

Hello Bret,

Thank you for your comment.

Yes, we can say it like this in Finnish. One can't just implement the English language strictly to some other language. It doesn't work that way, unfortunately.

it is very much correct to say "mikä sinun nimesi on" Finnish or "minun nimeni on" In the Finnish language you can and will add personal conjugation and leave "sinun" in front of it but you can leave it out but also.

Hope this helps.

Let us know if you have any question.

If sinun means "your" and nimesi means "your name" why are we saying "your" twice in the phrase. Mika sinun nimesi on? Aren't we saying "what is your your name?

Same question for minun nimeni... Aren't we saying "my my name"?

Well, after 3 lessons I already know how to introduce myself: - "MINUN nimeni on Madza "; How to ask what is the other's name : "Mikä SINUN nimesi on " . I know how to say _ Nice to meet you: "Hauska tutustua" , how to say thank you: "Kiitos " and "You are welcome: "Ole Hyvä" (informal) or "Olkaa Hyvä". I have already a vocabulary of around 10 words in Finnnish : 1 Kiitos ( thanks ) 2 Paljon ( Much); 3 Minun ( my); 4Sinun ( your) , 5Nimeni ( my name ) .6 Nimesi ( Your name ) ; 7 Mikkä (What); 8-Ole (be); 9- Hyvä (good) ; 10- Ei - No

Kiitos paljon ! Kiitoksia !

Hello Cosima,

Thank you for your question. In Finnish, both types of sentences can be used freely and both are correct. Using the word "sinun" sounds more personal though. Finnish people use this long-form bit more often. Hope this helps.

Hi,

Why is sinun or minun needed when you already have nimesi or nimeni which is already 'your' or' my name'?

Hello josh,

Thank you for your question.

When the subject can be defined, concrete or something countable, you mostly use mikä.

When the subject is undefined or uncountable, you use mitä. for example, you want to know what material something is made of or what’s inside something, food, for example. Also, when just asking what someone is doing or how someone is, you use mitä. "Mitä kuuluu?" or "mitä teet?"

I hope this helps a bit.

Let us know if you have any question.

I thought 'what' translates to 'mita' in Finnish, not 'mika'? or is it different when you are using it in certain sentences?

Hi Wafa,
