- unlikelymordant 12y agoAs an english speaker who learned some finnish, my problem is that all your nouns all get handled differently e.g. is kirjeet the plural of book, letter(alphabet), letter(mailbox), library or some other book related word. What about kirjoja? Of course I know the answer, but there are so many ways to modify words, and each one is a bit different. Still I enjoy it.
