Since we already have a Swedish man and a Russian man in Tekken, we clearly need a Finnish woman in Tekken.

In the middle. Because Finland is in the middle.

Between those massive man tits.

sweet plumeria ¡ finnick o’dair drabble

Finnick o'dair is the type of boyfriend who shields you from the prying eyes of the Capitol, fearful of exposing you as his greatest vulnerability. He can't risk to expose you to the Capitol's power and ruin the peace that tastes as sweet as honey. He loves the way you smile after emerging from the water, droplets shining on your bronzed skin. That sun-kissed smile under the district's sun, he prays the angels to protect you from all the danger in this disgusting world.

A delicate plumeria in your hair sparks a gleam in his eyes every time. "eyes up here" your laughter echoing in front of a speechless Finnick, blinded by your beauty on that warm evening, where the two of you shared the most exquisite swim. "don't know where to look anymore" Finnick responded, tone as playful followed by his charming signature smile. He stood close, captivated by you, silently wishing for this moment to last forever.

Interviewing a beginner Finnish learner

A bit of a different post for today! I have been working with a friend who has started self-learning Finnish. Maybe you can gain some inpiration or tips from this interview we conducted! I have added extra commentary bits to some parts, marked with "C".

PREFACE

Interviewer: Me

Interviewee: @nuniante

Been learning Finnish for: half a month

Previous knowledge of the language: none

1. How long have you studied finnish actively?

A) ive been studying for just about half a month

2. What is your study routine like? do you study daily?

A) i try to write notes everyday about grammar concepts i think will help me advance at my current level (so far really basic stuff). i try but dont study daily. i also use duolingo to learn basic expressions/vocab and try to immerse myself in finnish through making some of the apps on my phone in finnish.

C) He tends to write at least one sentence in Finnish a day in our groupchat to the best of his abilities and will ask if he doesn't know a word. I feel like that's a very good way to learn when you are learning a specific dialect like he is.

3. What kinds of notes do you take? what do you write down? do you always write things down or just memorize things without writing?

A) my notes are basic. i write in the exceptions but i dont really go into detail sometimes. i might skip over something mentioned in the lesson or material im using if i think that a concept they bring up is inferrable. for vocab i try to memorize words i learn because i know so few that theres not much point to writing anything down. i think when ill reach a more advanced level ill start to write down more

C) I think that this approach is great, finding things you know you'll use and learning those first is useful!

4. What was your initial plan when studying? what things did you study in what order?

A) my initial plan for studying was trying to learn the basics and formal language to help me in learning colloquial speech, which i planned to learn from a friend (im talking about you juho). so far ive studied the basic cases + declensions, basic verbs conjugations, demonstratives and conjunctions and im rn learning about the numbers and the plural forms of nouns. i plan to take a break from grammar and learn vocab next.

C) Remember that all this is just half a month in! I think learning grammar before vocab is very good! You'll start picking up core words while doing that and of you perfect those grammar points early on, you will find speaking and writing easier fast.

5. What is your goal?

A) i dont really have a goal, but i think that if i could hold up a real conversation in finnish id feel successful.

6. What has been the most difficult + easiest?

A) i think the hardest thing so far has been consonant gradation or numbers. gradation can feel irrational, what with weird sound changes (eg. k > v) and also how you cant really predict what grade a noun/verb should be in depending off its form. easiest might be vowel harmony. you can decide harmony just by feeling what sounds better.

C) For once, a learner has not only learned vowel harmony but has no mistakes using it and will not forget that it's there. If you are more than half a year in learning and you still cannot remember to apply vowel harmony accordingly, you need to make it your priority ASAP.

7. How would you rate your current finnish level (speaking, writing, reading)

A) id say theyre all low. reading is probably my highest because i dont really consume finnish any other way. juho said my finnish accent is ok so i think that makes speech second. i havent listened to finnish yet so i cant even tell.

C) This person writes and speaks better Finnish than some people who have been learning the language for like three years! He is very careful with congruence which many learners don't consider very much. This means that he is eliminating most of the beginner mistakes very early on

8. Additional comments.

A) i like saying hyvää yötä

C) I like that our groupchat has started using Finnish and picking up words like "joo" and "sama asia" since we speak the language now. I consider it very admirable that this person has not only started writing Finnish early on, but he is learning kirjakieli, puhekieli AND a dialect all the same time!

Feel free to use this as motivation or inspiration! I recommend finding a learning style that fits you, so remember that what worked for this person might not work for you! I could make this a series honestly, are any of you interested in participating?

Hei kaikki Suomi baby boos. Sellane älynväläys iski äsken, että Ylehän ottaa vastaan ohjelmatoiveita ja niillä on sitä varten lomake netissä…

Se Bojanin leffa on tulossa ensi-iltaan ens kuussa nii mitä jos vähä laitettais Ylen suuntaan vaatimattomii toiveita sen esittämisestä (ees Areenassa)??

Nehän toteuttaa paljon toiveita ja jos samoja pyyntöjä tulis paljon nii vois olla mahiksia. Plus Yle näyttää paljon erilaisia eurooppalaisia nuorten sarjoja/leffoja ainaki Areenassa nii vois perustella et leffan esittäminen tukee tutustumista Slovenian kulttuuriin ja tietenkin edistäis Suomen ja Slovenian diplomaattisia suhteita… Onko ihan hölmö ajatus?👀🫣
