Otso is also a nickname for a bear

[pieni_chilipalko]

Well, not a nickname really, just another way of calling it. Since people didn't want to call the bear by its name (oksi) they came up with lots of different euphemisms for it. The word that is nowadays most commonly used for the animal, "karhu", is also one of these euphemisms. Others include "mesikämmen", "kontio" and "nalle".

[J.C.M.H.]

Otso is very similar to oso, the Spanish word for "bear".

[Musicoli011]

That's actually pretty interesting :0

[drst24]

Thank you all for this course

[AlbertPere258942]

Minä olen Albert. Kiitos for the course!

[WeraWolf1]

Kiitos for the course = Kiitos kurssista (base form: kurssi, genitive kurssin) :)

[AnthonyAlighieri]

I will join the ranks of learners getting excited over the advent of a Finnish course: Eeeeeee! Thank you!

[rsail]

Suggestion: since the gender of proper names in Finnish are not easy to guess based on the word ending, could you make sure that a male voice says "minä olen Joni" and a female voice says "minä olen Aino"?

It would be nice to cue the gender based on the speaker voice!

[AnthonyAlighieri]

Seconded! I support this request! Have 10 lingots!

[mohamedkar453456]

Thank you ao much i was waiting the Finnish language

[itsrxcheline]

I was waiting for this course so bad. Kiitos!!! Ps: I really hope we end up having a proper Finnish course (not stuck in a certain phase) <3

[JoshMamo]

Yesss!!! Finally, Thankyou

[CalypsoAseille]

Minä olen Monika. Thank you for the course, you made many people very happy!

[JulianaMjunik]

Yay! I'm also joining and very happy about this Finnish course! (And hoping for new features like Stories also for this course...)

[denver4dinner]

Would "my name is otso" work on this case?

[pieni_chilipalko]

That would be "(minun) nimeni on Otso". :)

[PrateekUpa4]

Finnish appears learnable so far

[J.C.M.H.]

So far, so far. Finnish has a complicated grammar (15 cases), even though it is very regular.

[themusicgod1]

could "my name is otso" suffice for this?

[Ollie-Benson]

No, "Minä" is "I", not "me", and "olen" is "am", so you would translate "Minä olen" as I am, not "my name is"
