Dating Finns

Here's how to talk about relationships:

  • Olemme tapailleet muutaman kerran.  - We've been seeing each other for a couple of times.
  • Seurusteletteko te? - Are you two dating?
  • Kuinka te tapasitte? - How did you meet?
  • Onko se vakavaa? - Is it serious?
  • Me ollaan kihloissa! - We're engaged!
  • Mennään naimisiin! - Let's get married!
  • Miten kauan te olette olleet naimisissa? - How long have you been married?
  • Oliko se rakkautta ensi silmäyksellä? - Was it love at first sight?
  • Lähtisitkö mun kanssa kahville? - Would you like to go out for coffee with me?
  • Muutetaanko yhteen? - Shall we move in together? 

Feel free to add more useful sentences in the comments. :)

Hi Hanna! Honestly, it was love at first sight. I Said to my friend Jim, "If I don't speak to this woman I shall regret it the rest of my life" our time together lasted 46 years. The first words I said "May I take you home? She was magnificent and deeply loved and respected.

Geoff, you're back! I was wondering if you'd find this blog after I finished with Finnish Sentence of the Day.

May I take you home? Saanko viedä sinut kotiin?
