2,217  | I've actually always wanted to learn the language. I've been quite enthraled with the country as of late. Unfortunately though, Finnish books are a scarce commodity, especially where I live. I'm not sure that I can pin point an exact starting point that I should ask questions about. It's quite a broad topic. I suppose I'll start with the ulmats, or whatever they're called. The a and the o with the dots over them. How are those pronounced?

1,016 | But I don't anything about Spanish. I speak English, Finnish, little bit of Sweden and little bit France. So I can only teach Finnish to you. I don't know anything about Spanish...

2,217 | You see, I don't know the letter where the A and E are connected, or the O and the E. We don't really have the letter in English, just different pronounciations of the same letter. I've come to suspect that the A one is like the a in cat, but the o one evades me.

1,016 | Ä letter should pronounce just like it a in the word cat. I don't know how the letter Ö prenousing should explain to you. In english you don't have thats prenousing almost any word so I can't explain it to you. Anything else questions? Any questions about words. (Maybe Red Magician could tell it when he comes back (I hope so))

2,086 | Well maybe I can help some on the letters. I don't know a croc of Finnish but we have some of those letters in German as well. ä is pronounced like the a in cat. We covered that one already. ü can only really be explained by saying that, if you took the letter u and e and sounded them out simultaneously, that would be the sound. Most possibly the closes sounding word that hits that sound in an english word would be the u in a word like Turkish. Take that u sound and add the e to it so that it gets dragged out more. I guess writing it like this might help: Tuerkish. I think that kind of nails it. I can't really make sure since I can't hear you but whatever. ö is about the same but more of an o with e. Hard to find a word fitting but I think you get the idea (or not?). Whatever, I just realised I'll never try and be a teacher again.....especially on the internet.

2,217 | Okay, here's a question that I need to ask for every language, as it's fairly important. How do you conjugate regular verbs? English example: I walk you walk he/she walks we walk they walk Like that, and also, I'm not sure if it's a regular verb or irregular, but the verb to be, is usually fairly important. I am you are he/she is we are they are And thank you for the above.

1,016 | Every verb conjugate same way in Finnish ex. I am ~ minä olen you are ~ sinä olet he/she is ~ hän on we are ~ me olemme they are ~ he ovat and second ex. I walk ~ minä kävelen you walk ~ sinä kävelet he/she walks ~ hän kävelee we walk ~ me kävelemme they walk ~ he kävelevät And here is their basic form I ~ minä You ~ sinä He/she ~ hän We ~ me You ~ te They ~ he As you see he and she is same word and you means two different words... And second half of this post teaching is here I am ~ minä olen you are ~ sinä olet he/she is ~ hän on we are ~ me olemme you are ~ te olette they are ~ he ovat I walk ~ minä kävelen you walk ~ sinä kävelet he/she walks ~ hän kävelee we walk ~ me kävelemme you walk ~ te kävelette they walk ~ he kävelevät As you see both list of verbs have same ending. And start of the verbs is almost same... Next question...?

2,217 | Okay, these were really good actually, I just need to clarify one thing. What is the root word of the verb? Is Ole by itself how it would look with no conjigation, or are there letters that were dropped when it was conjigated? Quote:
