Cat knows Finnish

Post Reply New Topic

This is not another thread on Finnish grammar. Not even I know how it goes. However,

This cat of mine. Any time that I say to her a very emphatic No! she knows what I mean. She will not go to the balcony, where it is just me and the stars, between us and the galaxies. If she jumped to the woods... No. I canť imagine what would follow. -- Pardon my bad english.

Could it be your physical demeanour when you say "No", that she responds to?

What is the Finnish for "No", by the way?

^ Ei.

Although the Finnish word for no kind of works like a verb which has to be conjugated depending on the situation.

If you are talking directly to the cat....then perhaps it would be: et.

I haven't learnt if Finnish has an imperative yet.

Krabo?


By the way, cat in Finnish is: kissa

^^
Kiitos.

Kaunis kissa!

There is no vocative case in Finnish which is strange. We have 16 of them. I don't know why this one is missing.

Nominative usually is the same as vocative in most indoeuropean languages, could be the case with ugro-finnic as well

Lord. I exceed my normal count.

Come to think of it, I think my cat knew Croatian curses

Reading your silluy posts, i have learned mor English I ever did in Gropund schools.

Although the ones in German somehow seemed to have reached her more profoundly

Note the word on the dozvidaniya.

Hmmmm or did I use Mongolian curses on her, eh?
