What dialect is that? What does nä(ä) mean here?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269693591087704863.post-54208008623335074662014-10-15T10:20:41.923+03:002014-10-15T10:20:41.923+03:00Yes, the same logic follows with other verbs, too....Yes, the same logic follows with other verbs, too. <br /><br />Notice how these verbs are really short in spoken language:<br /><br />Olen = Oon = I am<br />Tulen = Tuun = I come<br />Menen = Meen = I go<br />Panen = Paan = I put<br /><br />So 'Menetkö sinä?' would be either 'Meeksä?' or 'Meetsä?', or a similar structure with 'mää' or 'mie'.<br /><br />I think it has to do with the dialect and also the size of the city where you live in. <br /><br />If you put "ootsä vai ooksä" in Google, you'll find something like this: http://www.demi.fi/keskustelut/syv%C3%A4lliset/sanotteko-oots%C3%A4-vai-ooks%C3%A4#.VD4fffl_sk0Hannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-269693591087704863.post-22168904147587662462014-10-15T05:51:59.471+03:002014-10-15T05:51:59.471+03:00This example was really interesting:

(I have a feeling that this one is more common in Southern Finland.)"<br /><br />I had been wondering whether people were pronouncing a "t" or a "k" there, but I never realized different people might be saying it differently! Is it the same for other verbs? For instance, are some people saying haluuksä and others haluutsä?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
