These two verbs are often mixed, probably because of the diphtongs
öy,
yö and
öi are kind of tricky anyway. I hope that this post helps you to remember the difference.
Löytää is to find, and its four important forms are löytää, löydän, löysin and löytänyt.
- Sinun on pakko löytää se avain. - You must find the key.
- En löytänyt sitä mistään. - I didn't find it anywhere.
- Minä kyllä löydän sen! - I'll definitely find it!
- Kuka tämän löysi? - Who found this?
- Mistä sinä löysit tämän? - Where did you find this? (Notice that we find from somewhere.)
- Ihanaa, että löysin sinut! - How lovely that I found you!
- Älä lyö! - Don't hit!
- Kumpi löi ensin? - Who punched first?
- En minä lyönyt! - It wasn't me who hit!
- Ei saa lyödä! - No hitting!
- Miksi sinä löit pikkusiskoa? - Why did you hit your little sister?
- Onko sinua koskaan lyöty? - Have you ever been punched?

Yeah, I used to mix these up a lot when I started.
I jus wanna "lyödä" one of those off the finnish language to make my life easier :D
Yeah, it's horrible when spelling actually matters.
Hi! I can´t find in any online translator wich is the correct verb used in Finnish for hitting something with the head... In english would be to give a "headbutt" I guess, like in soccer for example, when you HIT the ball with your head. Would it be "puskea"? :-) Thanks for your time!
Joo, "puskea" on oikea sana. Puskea palloa.
Jossain muussa kontekstissa, esimerkiksi tappelussa, voi olla myös "iskeä päällä" http://www.sanakirja.org/search.php?id=816537&l2=3
Kiitos paljon! halauksia Argentiinasta!
can explain different between LÖYTÄÄ - LÖYTYÄ verbi
Yes! Löytyä is intransitive, to be found. Avain löytyi maton alta. The key was found from under the rug. http://randomfinnishlesson.blogspot.com/2012/10/transitive-and-intransitive-verbs.html
