- jo - already
- joo - yes
- joka - every (Yes, joka also means something else!)
- jos - if
- joskus - sometime, sometimes
- jopa - even
- joten - so
- jotta - so that
These are some common nouns, adjectives and verbs that also start with jo:
- jojo - a yoyo
- johtaja - a manager
- johto - a chord
- jokainen - everyone
- joki - a river
- jonkinlainen - some kind
- joulu - christmas
- joustava - flexible
- jossitella - to hypothesize
- joutua - to be forced somewhere
..and then we have joku, jokin and joka. Sorry about them. I'd say that the best way to practice is to read and listen to something that you like and pay attention to the jo-words. Learn expressions that are useful for you and don't worry about the crazy ones like joiksikuiksi. If you like to study with a text book, for example Suomen mestari 2 has exercises on joku and jokin.
