    Truly a beautiful language. But the real question is: Do you have words that are pronounced identically and mean completly different things?

    i.e. There, Their, and They're.

    There is only one way to pronounce each letter.

    As a result each word can only be written one way.

    But it happens, "kuusi palaa" is a great example:

    [​IMG]
    It is written and pronounced the exact same way.

    Even with just the word "kuusi" which can mean
    "your moon"
    "six"
    "spruce"

    Also there are examples such as "pihalla on kissa" which could either mean
    "there's a cat on the yard"
    "the yard has a cat"

    Here's some more greatness:

    Here are some ways to bend the word 'dog' (koira)
    [​IMG]

    "koiraanikokaan" ('something' not even my dog?)
    "koirasikokaan" ('something' not even your dog?)
    "koirassammekokaan" ('something' not even in our dog?)
    "koirinensakokaan" ('something' that they can't even with their dogs?)
    "koirallasikokaan" ('something' that not even your dog has?)

    The bending of words in our language is why I love it so much.
    It comes so naturally for us, but anybody who is trying to learn Finnish is like: "What the fuck is this shit..."

    Maybe the reason you're all antisocial is because it's too hard to talk to each other... :unamused:

    Joking. Kind of.
