Bonus: Unlike Many Languages, Finnish Has Names For Eight Points Of The Compass Instead Of Four. So Between

Bonus: unlike many languages, Finnish has names for eight points of the compass instead of four. So between cardinal directions (pääilmansuunnat) we call ordinal directions (väli-ilmansuunnat) NE, SE, SW & NW by their very own words.

'Ilma' means 'air' and 'suunta' is 'direction', so literally these are called 'air/wind directions', or 'directions of (the) air'

Pronouns 101

image
image

Finnish personal- & demonstrative pronouns Subject on the left, possessive on the right

image

English personal pronouns (Reflexive pronouns are a whole thing. More on that later..)

Idk what type of pronoun 'it' is, officially, but it felt natural to include here

image

English demonstrative pronouns. Nice and simple

I'm no expert on linguistic terms. I'm just here as a bilingual, introducing people to Finnish due to popular demand. Please don't butcher me
