FINNISH FOR BEGINNERS

Finnish for beginners:

järki = reason, sense, intelligence
järjestää = organize
järjestelmä = organization
järjestelmällinen = organized
järjestelmällistyttää = organizationalize
epäjärjestelmällistyttää = unorganizationalize
epäjärjestelmällistyttämätön = having unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize
epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyys = unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize

epäjärjestelmällistyttämättomyydellä = with unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize
epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellään = with his unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize
epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänkö? = is it with his unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize?
epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänköhän? = I wonder if it is possible, with his unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize?
epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydelläänköhänkään? = I wonder if it is possible, even with his unreflectional attention to antiunorganizationalize?

I don’t want to rain on your parade, but this is it! 🙂  Due to the agglutinative nature of Finnish, you usually get elongated words like this. By agglutinative I mean that words are formed by adding affixes to the base of the word.

e.g epä – un or not     epäkunossa – not working ( kuno is the basis)

Agglutinative languages always function in this manner.  Turkish is another example. As written above, in both Turkish & Finnish, a word can be a full sentence.

As soon as you get the hang  of the affixes, you will see the bigger picture. The affix addition goes almost mechanically, with a certain hierarchy.

But of course, it shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Challenge accepted, bring it on Finnish!
