Help with words...

[Phil]

For the "Learn Finnish" online program, I need some suggestions for words to add in these categories...

"Amount" (Words like: much, many, some, none, a little, ...)

"Adjectives/Feelings" (Words like: good, bad, great, okay, descent, fair etc..)

"Directions" (Words like: up, down, left, right, north, south etc..)

...just give me the English words you can think of that fit in these categories.

Thanks in advance for your help!!

up, down, .... -- ylös, alas, ylöspäin alaspäin, ylhäällä, alhaalla.

1. There are other on-line dictionairies you can use to add words to your vocabulary. The links have been posted here.

2. words like fair, descent, great have something like 6 or 7 equivalents in Finnish

"Directions" (Words like: up, down, left, right, north, south etc..)

quote]
Directions /instructions.e.g to a taxi driver.

Wrong way...väärin päin.
Straight ahead..suoraan eteen päin
Turn right ..kääny oikealle
Turn to the left..kääny vasemmalle

suoraan eteen päin
kääny oikealle

eteenpäin
käännä oikealle

Aina vaikea ... yhdyssanojen oikeinkirjoitus

[Hank W.]

käännä oikealle

käännä oikealle= turn [the steering wheel] right
käänny oikealle turn [your azz] right

=> the latter one is more usable as it can be used regardless if the person is driving or what

suoraan eteen päin
kääny oikealle

eteenpäin

Aina vaikea ... yhdyssanojen oikeinkirjoitus

Sorry I leant driving instruction by ear not written...
You obviously dont have "assistance/advice/instructions" from your wife when driving..in your right ear.."kääny oikealle nyt!" is usualy accompanied by a gesture pointing to the left!
Eteen päin or eteenpäin...is also usualy demanded when there is a red traffic light or back of a bus in front of one!
