Where did the "finnish is hard af" meme come from?
>be me
>have known three languages since I was like ten
>decide to learn a fourth one
>every reddit fuck whines about how difficult finnish is
>mfw it isn't
>mfw I've been memed
Seriously, are those people just american """polyglots""" who started learning spanish at age 20 to seem "hip" or what? Are their minds just too stiff to understand how a different grammar works? I know most people who actually started learning languages early on (read: actual polyglots) would have no trouble with it. Where did this meme originate? Is it just reddit culture going "le finnish, 15 declensions, so epicly hard xD" on us? Is there something else I've missed?
>in b4 "t. estonian"
The languages I know are actually pretty standard (English, French, Spanish), so no.
>>62262697
Speak some finnish
Lait jotai suomeks vitu ranu pelle :DD ime sykkivää rupikonnanmussuttaja hintti
Probably the 15 grammatical cases.

Speaking understandable tier Finnish is easy as fuck.
Speaking native tier is impossible.
But yes, a meme in general.

I would be happy to oblige for BASED DUBS but as you porpbably inferred from my post, I'm actually currently learning it (3 weeks in). I don't speak it yet, I just don't see what the fuss is about. I'm having much less trouble learning finnish than I did while learning english, keeping in mind that my brain was probably much more malleable then.
>>62263110
Polttakaa noita!
>>62263132
how do youo go about learning the language? I have been interested in the language for a while and would like to learn it, but i do not know where to start.
>>62263110
ebin :D hur går de mane?

Mate, you're a bit retarded. Post that again when you're fluent.

stop learning our language and learn an useful one instead

Why were your parents so cruel that they made you grow up unilingually swedish in binlan?
Do you at least live in Ahvenanmaa or do you live in some meme swedish community?
>>62262848
Disgusting tbqh
>>62263331
I'd guess as with any language, just download a grammar to get you started, and then when you're a few months in start looking for content. I think (again, as with any language) it's best to avoid the colloquial, assimil, teach yourself series altogether.

>Where did the "finnish is hard af" meme come from
from muh dick
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consonant_gradation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vowel_harmony
because of these
>Verbal derivational suffixes are extremely diverse; several frequentatives and momentanes differentiating causative, volitional-unpredictable and anticausative are found, often combined with each other, often denoting indirection. For example:
>hypätä "to jump"
>hyppiä "to be jumping"
>hypeksiä "to be jumping wantonly"
>hypäyttää "to make someone jump once" >hyppyyttää "to make someone jump repeatedly"
>hyppyytyttää "to make someone to cause a third person to jump repeatedly"
>hyppyytellä "to, without aim, make someone jump repeatedly"
>hypähtää "to jump suddenly"
>hypellä "to jump around repeatedly"
>hypiskellä "to be jumping repeatedly and wantonly"
It does seem very complicated for an outsider, f.am

C'était pas l'intention. Je suis même pas plus doué que d'autres gens qui auraient suivi le même parcours. En fait le talent n'a rien à voir là dedans. Les gens sont juste pas foutus d'apprendre une langue parce qu'ils sont paresseux et enfermés dans un mode de pensée selon lequel c'est impossible, alors quand je vois ces polyglottes de reddit avec leur colloquials, leurs flashcards et leurs velléités se plaindre que y'a trop de déclinaisons je rigole doucement. C'est simplement une mauvais approche. Et le fait de dire "lol le finnois c'est impossible y'a quinze cas" c'est juste une façon de justifier leur échec face à une langue pas si difficile que ça. Enfin qui n'en a pas l'air en tout cas. Peut être que je vais buter sur un obstacle mais pour l'instant...

Nah man. You're just a liar.
>>62265322
> Latin has 6 cases
Five.
The vocative hardly exists at all.
>>62265515
It does though. Plus archaic latin retains a locative case, or so I've heard.
>>62265793
> locative case
On perhaps 3 or 4 words in total. The remainder use the genitive or ablative.
>>62264187
This sentence is more believable than the corrected one.
>>62265945
I didn't know there were so few desu. But still, some of those examples of finnish being difficult are really far fetched.
Finnish is easy
even a child can learn it :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

So you speak English? Or you live in a suburb with a lot of fennoswedes or something? I've lived in Helsinki my entire life and know nobody who speaks Swedish. I've probably met a handful of fennoswedes in my entire life. Where are you guys?
>>62262848
That's okay, even some Frenchmen have some...problems with our language.

What you're saying is completely meaningless without providing any measure or demonstration of your progress. For all we know you only THINK you've figured anything out.
>>62263132
Believe me, learning a language may seem easier at first, but it gets harder down the line. I was the star student in my latin class back when I was like twelve knowing how to translate simple sentences like "Agricola est in agro et porcum interfacit." However, at some point you will hit a wall where the language will throw a bunch of stupid shit that forces you to relearn a bunch of shit. Latin is now really hard for me, and I dread doing most of the time.

Finnish is hard af for every indo-european language speakers
In my case it would be easy gramatically because its like the same
Also pronounciation is the same as well at least if a hungarian tries to speak finnish maybe not easy the other way around

Still saying that it's rare meeting finnish speaking people in helsinki is bullshit
Swedish is prolly the language I hear the least in here
>>62269769
you mean Töpörödött törpördögök?
>>62270027
I never said that, the other guy said something like that, and probably implied that he doesn't know any finnish speaking finns.
Also, most of us speak finnish fluently, so not knowing any of us may actually just be not noticing any of us.
It's hard to learn for an Indo-aborginal who's biggest feat in life has been to learn a language of his/her neighbours tribe.
It seems fairly straightforward to me too.
But then again, our languages are related. For a while I even considered learning Finnish because of its ease, but then I realized I already speak a meme language, so what's the point?
