I don't usually offer
my Finnish teaching services to strangers on the street, but every time I hear someone saying
normaalisesti, I wish I could do something to let them know,
very kindly, that it should actually be
normaalisti.
It is understandable that it's so easy to say
normaalisesti, because many adjectives
end with nen:
- tavallinen - usual, normal
- yleinen - common
- erityinen - special
- erikoinen - special, strange
The adverbs go like this:
- tavallisesti - usually, normally
- yleisesti - commonly (Notice that usually is yleensä.)
- erityisesti - specially
- erikoisesti - in a strange way
However,
normal in Finnish is just
normaali.
There is no such word as normaalinen, and therefore there cannot be an adverb normaalisesti.
Siinä kaikki. :)

Juu on kova juttu kun me ranskalaiset sanotaan "normalement" koko ajan. Kiitos vinkistä
