Hello,

I'm trying to learn Finnish, and bought "Aapiskukko" book.

Could you please write me in Finnish the name of those drawings ?

For exemple according to google translate, the 1 is "raamattu" ?

Thank you 🙂

  1. The book doesn’t have answers?? 

    Maybe put this on r/learnfinnish if anyone there can be bothered to do this…

  2. 1. Lypsetään lehmää (mitä tässä tehdään)

  3. This is too advanced and you would never need to use most of these words. Get the Suomen mestari book

  4. A bit off-topic, but some (most?) of those are things that younger (under 70 years old) Finns don’t recognize anymore 😀

    But yeah, some more:

    2. harja (maybe hammasharja)

    3. kuumemittari

    5. rukki

    6. öljylamppu

    10. naskali

  5. WTF is number 4? Looks like some kind of torture device.

  6. Give the book back and get one that teaches and uses vocabulary from this century. 

    For a beginner those words are entirely useless. You are not going to practice speaking by talking about plowing fields, milking cows, spinning wool or what you just read in the bible.

  7. 1. Kirja/Raamattu

    2. Hammasharja

    3. Kuumemittari

    4. Niittokone

  14. Damn, I can’t name some of those things even in my native language

  15. This is some ancient agrarian-ass shit. Aapiskukko was originally released in 1938 so much of the vocabulary isn’t very useful for a beginner.

    The verbs

  17. Oh wow, these are amazing! I’m convinced you’re actually testing if we know what these are.

  20. None of these are useful words for a beginner in the 21st century.

  22. You could try and find a book with modern vocabulary. I’m in my 40’s, and while I do recognize all of these, they’re from the agrarian era, many of them were considered outdated in the fifties, or even before that. Next to nobody is using the items or performing the actions described in the book today, at least not in the way the book describes them. Learning finnish like this is the equivalent of learning english from the intertitles of silent movies shot way back before modern filmmaking.

  23. 23. Ämmänlänget. Used for carrying heavy stuff like water buckets on both sides of body without using grip strength

  24. I think you should write your answers here first and others can guide you.

    Kudos for buying the book. Correct attitude.

  25. Good grief, I’m old enough to have had visual aids like this at school, and even I’m struggling with some of these items. Luckily the answers seem to be pretty well covered in other responses. For no. 23, I concur with those who suggest that it is “korento”, a rod for two people to carry one pail/basin of water — as opposed to a yoke for one person to carry two pails of water. It’s really tricky when you can’t tell the size of the thing.

    Mind you, no. 1 could be “virsikirja” (hymnal) as well as “Raamattu” (Bible).

  26. Native finn and I knew only 90% of the words. Most of these items/actions have been obsolete for the last century, thus not many ever use them in daily speech anymore.

  27. these must really come handy in a day to day convo in finland.

  28. I dont live in Finland anymore and have forgotten a lot of the language. I still remember how to conjugate kaakeloida! So useful 🤗 i also took a very very basic, beginners Finnish and my native friends were baffled at why we were being taught verbs like that
