Kiitos. That is the one and only Finnish word I have learned and can pronounce consistently.

And I bet they're actually pronouncing it [kʰitʰos]...

Every letter in a finnish word should be pronounced. As there's 2 "i"'s in " kiitos " you just say the "i" a bit longer.

Pretty much so, but... see this thread: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=68891

Just flirt with them in English. A foreigner's attractiveness to Finnish girls correlates negatively with the amount of Finnish they can speak

I think if u flirt whit them in English its kinda ok and if u say some words in finnish its just a bonus!

So just learn some simple words what u cold remember easily
