#beginner finnish

Here are the absolute basics of the language in an even tighter package compared to my earlier posts. Maybe someone new will take interest in the language from these posts!

To my existing followers, are these kinds of posts good for you? Could my normal posts be in this format sometimes too?

1) When used with a noun, this verb is used in the usual way:

Tarvitsen lisää tietoa. = I need more information.

Tarvitset luvan. = You need permission.

2) But this is also used with the "genitive" form + a verb, mostly commonly in the negative and meaning "do not need to" / "do not have to" :

Sinun ei tarvitse kertoa minulle .... = You don't have to tell me...

[The opposite on this form would be something like:

Sinun täytyy kertoa... / Sinun on pakko kertoa... ]

3) And less commonly in the positive form (note the meaning isn't quite "You must" anymore, but along the lines of "you should"):

hey there! i'm Bee, and i'm new to studyblr & langblr so an introduction seems like the best idea!

☆ about me

I'm Bee, a twenty-three spanish media & video student who also speaks English and French and is trying to learn her fourth language on her own this time! I lived in Finland for three months with an erasmus program and been in love with the country since (and with my partner who I met there ngl). Would love to live there in the future! That's one of the main reasons I started learning Finnish :)

☆ likes

I'm in love with anything that has to do with art: books, writting, cinema & tv shows, art history etc etc. Also languages and travel! Special mention to my biggest likes: Dead Poets Society, the marauders and If We Were Villains. Also my latest obssesion: making photo albums!

☆ why this blog

I have been active on here for couple of years on my main @beeisnothere where i mainly post (repost) dark academia, dead poets society and just pretty stuff in general (feel free to follow me there too!) but I've always been interested in this side of tumblr, and since I wanna keep myself accountable and motivate myself to study I just thought, why not? so here i am :)

This is not a complete "how to be instantly perfect at Finnish" post or anything but this will get you far. (I hope you see something...)
