Finnish grammar classics

Many Finnish language learners seem to struggle with same topics. I'd say that these are the top 15+ challenges for many intermediate learners, or at least I seem to be sharing these ones a lot when teaching via Skype.

1. Tai or vai?
2. Alkaa or aloittaa?
3. T-plural or plural partitive?
4. Past tenses in Finnish
5. Why En meni is not correct?
6. The six local endings
7. "What are all these jo-words?"
8. Object!
9. The difference between Minä tarvitsen and Minun täytyy
10. How to talk about working in Finnish
11. How to talk about moving in Finnish
12. How to talk about trying in Finnish
13. Yet another reason to use partitive
14. How to finish in Finnish
15. How to change in Finnish
16. Five things to avoid to pay attention to when speaking or writing Finnish
17. Things to read in easy Finnish
