Finnish: Vocal harmony / Vokaaliharmonia = Vokaalisointu

-
In my Finnish classes vocal harmony is usually among the things I teach first. For me it is important that a student gets a strong basis of vocal harmony as this is the topic a person will need all the time.  What does the vocal harmony mean? The easiest explanation is that the vowels need to be in harmony.🙂 However, there are certain rules for vocal harmony. There is a certain way how vowels perform with each other. Before we go to the rules, let's see how vowels are divided in the Finnish language. There are three groups: front vowels (etuvokaalit), back vowels (takavokaalit) and neutral vowels (neutraalit vokaalit).  Front vowels are ä , ö , y .  Middle vowels are i and e .  Back vowels are a , o , u .  🟣If there are front vowels  ä , ö or y in the first syllable of the word, the rule is that front vowels also need to be perform in the other syllable(s) of the word.  For example : tämä (it/this) ➢ tä/mä It cannot be täma ( täma) because there...

Preparing for the YKI test

Teachers will only give you the right directions and support  but you are the one who is doing the studying. Please don't think that your teacher is responsible for your results. It's not the way it goes. If the test goes we...

Language games on Wordwall

Learning a new language could be quite a pain in the ass sometimes. Some people remember new words by reading while others remember by listening to different texts. I personally remember new words by writing them down or by playing different games. Learning a new language should be fun and interesting, it also needs to give you enough challenges. Playing different language games makes learning a new language way more interesting than just following the chapters in your book. Therefore, from that link below you can find different language-related games. There are games related to Finnish and Estonian.  https://wordwall.net/fi/myactivities I will keep adding new games weekly.  Let me know if there is any certain type of games you would be interested in.☀️
