Sorry, I was not careful enough (again). In the Finnish Europe there are two o's and two p's i.e. Eurooppa to Europe = Eurooppaan Europ...
Kiitos!
Hyvää matkaa Eurooppaan!
Yes they are. If your name is Petteri, nobody calls you by the name Petja, and wise versa. Even though the root of the names is same, i.e...
Timothy, So "Petja" and "Petteri" are different names?
Hänen nimensä on Petja. In Finnish the Russian letter "я" is transliterated sa "ja" but not "ya" like in...
In that case #1 would be the same way as #2, i.e. 1. Miehet pitävät suurista autoista 2. Pidän suurista kaupoista The case plural elat...
"Kolmivuotias" on suositeltu muoto, tosin muoto "kolmevuotias" on hyvin yleinen eikä tietääkseni virhe sekään.
Efui and Timothy, thank you very much! Your detailed explanations of meanings were very useful, that is the kind of help I really need...
Regarding the first point. Well men like ... did you mean something big that some girls have? ;) Or did you mean that they like to hold s...
There are a lot of tricky forms here, so I'll add some explanation. This goes really in-depth so you don't need to worry if you don't und...
Hei Orie! Minusta paitasi on hauska ja jos käytät sitä matkustaessasi Suomeen, ihmiset tulevat varmasti juttelemaan kanssasi. Minä ...
Some of the corrections are just due to my own preference. I hope you had a good time in Finland! :)
Hei Olga! Olisi kyllä hauska juoda kuppi kahvia kanssasi, mutta valitettavasti minä en asu Helsingissä! Would be nice, Olga, but I do...
Dear SETH and Timothy, thank you so much for your response! Btw, till 5th I'm in Helsinki and we may have a cup of coffee send me ...
Terve Olga! Hauska tavata! Osaatpa sinä monia kieliä! Tässä uusi ehdotus, miten voisit esittäytyä. Siinä ovat mukana edelliset korjau...
Thanks!
That's right! You can still say 'Minulla on yksi lapsi' if you want =) Then you can also but two sentences together; 'Asun Pietar...
Thank you, SETH! So, it'll be like this: Olen Olga Yermishkina Olen venäläinen Asun Venäjällä Asun Pietarissa Puhun venäjää, en...
Hienoa! Oikein hyvin kirjoitettu suomeksi! =) Voit myös jättää pois minä -sanan lauseista. Esimerkiksi: Minä olen venäläinen -> Ol...

You can make it a little bit shorter still, like "Haluan oppia suomea" Oppia means more like learn and opiskella means study....
to Dlareh Thank you!
(1) Maybe little, but hey, who cares? (2) No. It should be "Päivää!" instead of "Päivä!" (3) It's shorter yes, but ...
