Hi folks,

I am learning Finnish by myself now. Could somebody translate these words into Finnish please?

I also need to know all kinds of question marks in Finnish!

Thanks

breakfast- aamiai

lunch- lounas, midday meal, päivärouka

supper- illallinen, iltaruoka, evening meal

dinner- päivällinen

I hope this helps, but question marks? I'm not so sure of. Wouldn't they just say "?" I might be confused about your question. If you're talking about a conjugation of a question, then words will end in -ko or -kö. Such as olet, (I am) or olette (I am plural, formal). You could say oletko? (Am I?) or oletteko? (Am I? plural, formal.) Hope this helps as well! Hyvää jatkoa good luck with studying Finnish!

If you'd just get the bloody aamianen and päiväruoka correct, you might get fed.

As for the Finnish question marks - tä? hä?

olet = you are (sing.)
olette = you are (plur.)
olen = I am

Just to make things clear.

Just to confuse matters further if your at work then lunch is "ruoka tuntti" =food hour, but in my experience you are expected to only take 30mins!

Checked the spelling of ruoka in the dictionary but thought i could cope with tunti, cest la vie, to old to learn, to young to care

That would be, too old to learn, too young to care

Aamianen implies a big e.g. cooked breakfast.

Most people usually have "aamupala" not so far mentioned "morning piece" or aamukahvi.
