About the Finnish language

Uralic Language Family

Finnish belongs to the Uralic language family, making it linguistically distinct from most other European languages. Its closest relatives are Estonian and Hungarian, though they are not mutually intelligible. 

Vowel Harmony

Finnish words follow a system of vowel harmony, where front and back vowels rarely appear together in the same word, giving the language a harmonious and melodic sound. 

No Gendered Pronouns

Finnish uses the gender-neutral pronoun “hän” for both “he” and “she,” reflecting a more inclusive linguistic approach. This feature has become increasingly relevant in modern discussions about gender equality. 

Compound Words

The language often combines smaller words into long compound words, allowing for precise and descriptive expressions. For example, “lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas” is a famously long word referring to an aircraft jet engine mechanic non-commissioned officer student. 

Cases Instead of Prepositions

Finnish uses 15 grammatical cases instead of prepositions, giving it a flexible sentence structure that allows for nuanced expression.

Unique Alphabet

The Finnish alphabet has 29 letters, including the characters Ä, Ö, and Å, which are essential for accurate pronunciation and distinguishing between words with similar spellings. 

Influence of Nature

Many Finnish words are inspired by the natural environment, reflecting the country’s deep connection with forests, lakes, and seasonal changes. This influence is evident in both everyday vocabulary and poetic expressions.

Minimal Irregularities

Compared to many other languages, Finnish has relatively few irregular verbs and nouns, making its grammar more systematic and predictable.

Rich Vocabulary

Finnish has a wealth of vocabulary to describe emotions, sensations, and natural phenomena, showcasing the cultural importance of both personal expression and the surrounding environment.
