Learning Finnish...may need help from time to time.

Post by qphox »

I'm currently actively learning finnish, and this is my thread to ask the finns how to say it right, if I'm saying it right, etc.

minun talon = my house, right?
hänen talon = his/her house...

If it's a specific person's house, say "Anssi's house", do you put a suffix on that too? Or is it just "Anssi talon" and the -n on talo shows that the house is indeed Anssi's...?


I don't really know how much I'll need to use this thread, but I'd really appreciate the help. :)

Shitballs! Good luck with learning it, my impression is that its ridiculously complicated.
Maybe not as hard as Czech though!
