Medium speed Finnish

Real-life Finnish sounds very different from book Finnish. In spoken Finnish, minä becomes mä, and sinä becomes sä. Action words get shorter endings too: people say me mennään instead of menemme. Small words like kin, han, pa, and kos change what a sentence means. News shows use book Finnish. But vlogs and street talk use spoken Finnish a lot. Try to hear the action word and the word before it as one sound, not two. Cooking videos, kids shows, and daily-life videos are good to start with. You can see what is happening, so the words are easier to guess.
