I feel like we don't talk enough about how there's literally an entire episode about Finland telling us the rest of the nordics speak germanic languages and he speaks a Finno-Ugric; the episode also implies none of the others speak Finnish. which is super funny cause it means Fin can talk trash about them in front of them.

[littlebigadventure2]

english only speaking and one fans listen to the german sung tracks!! please it for yalls own good!!!!!

[suppenzeit]

not germanic, romance nor slavic, but a secret fourth thing (finno-ugric)

Language learning..?

[cinematiclinguist]

i love hungarian so much. it’s such a fascinating and beautiful language with a rich history and when i speak it i feel connected to my ancestors and family…. but

why dose it need to have over 1 million words??

[kutyozh]

sometimes language families fuck me up a bit. like hi we used to sit around the same fire and we saw the same birds flying south and our children climbed in the same trees but then we parted ways and now we might not understand each other at all but maybe we can still recognize each others words for the moon.

I like how all Indo-European languages are all similar, because by learning English i can understand simple sentences from pretty much any other of them

[yesornopolls]

Do you speak any finno-ugric languages?

[canisalbus]

Oh hey didn't know Finnish doesn't have gendered pronouns!! So good to finally see someone else who shares my experience of "why do I need to separate people by gender that's so weird" while learning English lol (Hungarian only has ő (singular they) and az (it))

Very distantly related languages (as you may know already) :]

Giving you a friendly Finno-Ugric high five.

Margays are small felines that spend most of their lives in the trees. Margays can rotate their ankles 180 degrees, allowing them to climb down trees headfirst. They have been observed jumping up to 12 feet horizontally and have been known to mimic the voices of infant monkeys so they can eat the parents.

Would you recommend studying finno-ugric languages (for a native Finnish speaker)? Can you share some tidbits?

Hi!

I am specifically doing my studies at the University of Helsinki so I can give you specifics on what we do here (the same things apply if you study this as a hobby tbh)!

First of all, if you are considering this field, you NEED to be ready to learn at least one completely new language to a B2 level. Our field requires at least 3 courses in another Uralic language (I am doing North Sámi, the other two options are Hungarian and Estonian). On top of that, you can (or kinda have to if you don't wanna do a 4th course from that first language) do 1-2 courses on an another Uralic language. These singular courses also cover the smaller languages, I am so looking forward to a Nenets course becoming available!

Another thing you need to keep in mind is that while we are grouped with the Finnish fields here at UoH, our field is totally different, in my opinion, this resembles linguistics a lot more than Finnish studies. You have to be ready for a lot of linguistics courses and I recommend studying linguistics on your own before applying.

The third thing is the job market. There aren't many jobs specifically for this field unless you want to be a professor or a researcher so think of this as a secondary career option and be ready to educate yourself further after finishing your studies.

From the standpoint of the community here at UoH, you WILL become the center of attention. There are SO FEW of us here we are like rare shiny Pokemon. Both staff and other students will say "Oooh what I've never met anyone in your field yet" more than once. Be ready to answer the burning questions such as "So where did Finnish come from" or "What is the etymology of Suomi" 1 week in. Prepare your answer before you even come in for orientation.

Learning about the Uralic languages will definitely help you learn about how Finland came to be. You'll also be able to learn other Uralic languages faster and even start to understand them without studying them at all in some cases!

TLDR: a rare form of linguistics disguised as Finnish studies. People will question your life choices. You will too after memorizing North Sámi noun cases at 1am.
