puhekieli spoken finnish

I only use "ketä" like this : "Ketä sinä tarkoitat?" ( Whom do you mean? ) or "Ketä sinä rakastat/vihaat?" ( Whom do you love/hate? )

yes, these are the correct written lg forms, and the ones that I always use...

>> Ketä tietää mistä saa ostaa maapähkinävoita?<<

I have never heard anyone use "ketä" instead of "kuka". Do some people speak like that in Helsinki?

....I would never EVER use these, unless I was disguising as a teen from "Stadi"... sounds so stupid (in my opinion, i.e. it doesn't mean that I am right!)

Well, "ketä tuli" or "ketä toi on" most certainly are not correct, however, seem to be getting more common in the capital area as well. I only use them as a laugh (???) but my 5- and 8-year-olds speak exactly like that... My Mum hates it and always comes down on them like a ton of bricks when she hears that - which of course makes them use those (and some other) terms even more... I personally think they sound pretty naff but have tried to tell their Gran that the kids are entitled to their dialect like everybody else...

"I have never heard anyone use "ketä" instead of "kuka". Do some people speak like that in Helsinki?"

just a note to Kalmisto: Yep, unfortunately some younger kids in the Helsinki area do say so. Just makes me shudder to hear the way my beloved language is being mistreated these days...

I'm close to 30 and have been caught saying "Ketä toi ol?" Grew up in Vantaa, Korso to be precise, where daily survival trumped linguistic purity.

What's the next rant, possessiivisuffiksi? Mika Häkkinen second person passive?
Anyway, mun pitää mennä, koska sun pitää tehdä sun työ.

I find it hard to communicate with kids, especially kids under school age.
I found some Colloquial Finnish books in library. Omg, I feel I haven't learn a thing... no wonder

Hei hei everybody. I have brief question and hope this is the right topic to ask. Namely, I have no idea where the word lynistä comes from. What is the written form? Thanks in advance.

Etelän nuoriso:
Moon = Minä olen
Soot = Sinä olet

Tuo on kyllä eteläpohojalaasta kieltä. ”Etelän nuoriso” ei ymmärrä eres sellaasta sanaa ku ”mihinä”.

The text is in English although the preface ( for some strange reason ) is in French.

Terve! Could anybody write the most common spoken forms of Finnish verbs: olla, tulla, mennä, panna? Or any other verbs? Kiitos!

But there are no colloquial forms. I meant forms like mä oon, sä oot, sä tuut... I know some, but I am not sure if there are more.
