I'm trying to be serious here, because I'm genuinely interested in how Finnish compares with other languages. 14:47:34 Juu: Yes. 14:47:47 bah 14:47:59 if you choose to think I am making fun of you, then good for you. 14:48:04 I really don't care. 14:48:22 juu do you know the story of goldilocks and the 3 bears? 14:48:26 GilbertBSD: Well, how else am I supposed to take it? 14:48:29 cat [kät] finnish front a (Ä), Hall [Ho:l] finnish o or is it pron like [Ha:l], Bureau [bjuro:] long i and ate [eit] as finnish e 14:48:39 goodness man, msg him if its so importan! 14:48:40 t 14:49:04 kc5tja good 14:49:29 bat is pronouced [pät] 14:49:48 finnish is much like reading what is inside [] instructions 14:49:54 only couple of exceptions 14:50:02 long vowels are writen in 2 14:50:16 like maa (ground, earth, land, country) [ma:] 14:50:26 though, that makes reading outloud easier 14:50:36 So A: is pronounced differently than a: -- Finnish doesn't capitalize nouns? 14:50:52 no nouns are not capitalised unless they are names 14:51:10 and in titles only first letter is capitalised unlike in englihs 14:51:22 Juu: No, same in English. 14:51:37 Sr., Mr., Ph.D., etc. 14:51:38 English has Titles Like This 14:51:53 that waht you mean? 14:51:57 --- join: futhin (~think@h24-64-174-2.cg.shawcable.net) joined #forth 14:52:03 hi futhin 14:52:08 Philosophy Doctor has both capitalised 14:52:23 futhin 14:52:25 Yes, because they're both proper nouns. 14:52:28 and ng is writen nk and 2 ng sounds are written ng 14:52:38 that is the only exception really 14:52:52 So a: sounds like the 'o' in 'cot' then. 14:53:04 uh. 14:53:15 i'll have dictionary and look good example word 14:53:18 just a sec 14:53:41 --- join: Soap` (flop@210-54-74-94.dialup.xtra.co.nz) joined #forth 14:53:47 well english has a bit differing vowels 14:53:59 mother has short a but it's more "strict" 14:54:09 Juu: That's an understatement. Our 5 vowels can make some 20 different sounds. 14:54:30 :) 14:54:36 i have here english phoneme table 14:54:51 so long a like in maa is like a in father 14:55:22 What's worse is that the letter 'y' is only sometimes considered a vowel, and is more or less a wildcard vowel that can sound almost like any of the other five vowels, depending on context. 14:55:39 finnish separates enlgish y into j, i and y 14:55:45 hmm. 14:55:46 Juu: OK, that's maa -- how about a-amlaut? 14:56:00 oh enlgihs deonst have sound y, like in german über or french tu 14:56:03 w is sometimes a vowel in words from Welsh, such as cwm 14:56:11 umlaut? 14:56:13 (it's an oo sound) 14:56:22 well 14:56:32 just a sec 14:56:40 lojban limits us to 5 vowels with 5 sounds :( 14:56:44 like in hat 14:56:45 err 14:56:52 futhin: That's the best way. 14:56:55 though, it's not pure finnish ä but similar 14:57:20 a is back in mouth and ä is in front 14:57:31 Juu: Ah, OK. That makes more sense. 14:57:41 Juu: english doesnt have a: 14:57:41 kc5tja: lies! our thinking is limited by the number of vowels we have :P 14:57:48 And aa is more nasal, as in ahh or father. 14:57:55 onetom but it does, english english 14:58:02 futhin: uatevr. 14:58:07 father is pronouced [fa:ther] 14:58:10 Juu: not even hungarian notes it separatly from á 14:58:13 whops :) 14:58:22 kc5tja: i was wondering about that.. is u always pronounced "w" in lojban? 14:58:32 á = aa 14:59:14 the point it is that aa is long and a is short, the word lenghts may vary in every speakers mouth, so father may be long or short depending speaker and time and place 14:59:18 futhin: It's sound like the oo in 'food'. However, remember that you can create diphthongs by concatenation. So "Hi!" would be written "hai!" (h ahh ee spoken rapidly is indistinguishable from the English word Hi!). 14:59:34 Juu: yes, but in some areas of hungary ppl say it as a: 14:59:36 father [fa:(th)(open ö)*] 14:59:44 futhin: The "uhh" lazy-U sound comes from the 'y' character. 14:59:49 open ö like in bird 15:00:24 food would be [fu:d] 15:00:38 u is short , u: is longer sound 15:00:49 and lasts longer than the another in mouth 15:01:16 Juu: btw, why r u enlisting phonetic transcriptions now? 15:01:34 " enlisting phonetic transcriptions" ? 15:02:04 hmm.. i dont kno w how we got here :) 15:02:20 why r u show so many examples of phonetic transcritions 15:02:40 onetom: I was asking if Finnish was phonetic or not. 15:02:46 any ordinary dictionary should have them, iguess.. 15:02:57 to make it sure for those who are only familiar with englihs reading instructions if any :) 15:04:01 the first page of "every" english dict. explains the "phonetic alphabet", doesnt it? 15:04:16 english has 41 sounds if long ones are counted also 15:04:32 so any1 w an eng. dict. should find these prescriptions, should they? 15:04:43 onetom: Yes, but that alphabet isn't in regular use. How many keyboards do you know of that have a schwa, and what differentiates the use of the schwa from the 'y' letter? 15:04:43 onetom you are familiar with reading instructions americans use? 15:04:44 ..., shouldnt... 15:05:20 Juu: dont know what do u think of 15:05:27 of what? 15:05:35 Moreover, each dictionary has slightly different variations of the phonetic alphabet. 15:05:53 english is a perfectly understandable language with no confusing exceptions. it is a very logical language, and very easy to spell the words from hearing the sounds! 15:06:03 Juu: american instructions <- dont know what does it refer 2 15:06:08 futhin finnish is even more 15:06:09 futhin: My rear end. 15:06:21 onetom> onetom /oh neh tomh/ 15:06:22 futhin: English is anything but logical. 15:06:40 heh 15:06:43 i'm joking around 15:06:50 It's an amalgamation of no less than six different languages, with conflicting rules between them all, chosen on a word by word basis. 15:07:17 Juu: jeeezuz, thats terrible :) 15:07:23 it is 15:07:29 but some americans use it 15:07:33 if it didn't have french words in it, it would be a lot more logical 15:08:00 i find that mostly the french words (or the french sounding words) are the ones that have totally different pronounciations from the written words.. 15:08:11 80% of english words are derrived from latin via french or directly :) 15:08:28 Let's see, the following languages all come to mind: Greek, Latin, Aramaic, Arabic, German (Saxon), Anglican, Welsh, French, ... 15:08:32 Juu: probably rather directly 15:08:41 juu: lies 15:08:45 it's fact 15:08:55 I mean, if I were to say "Beetle juice," who's to say I wasn't trying to convey Betelgeuse instead? 15:09:20 cause geuse is pronouced geese :P 15:09:27 futhin: Nope. 15:09:32 Not in this case. 15:09:48 Betelgeuse is aramaic, and is the name of a rather bright star in the constellation of Orion. 15:10:13 hehe, in finnish you know how the words are pronouced and inflected, no need to ever look dictionary :D 15:10:25 and even new words can be known without explanation 15:10:35 such as combounded words and words with new suffixes 15:10:44 like kirja = book and kirjasto = library 15:10:57 what's word for woman? 15:10:57 that makes remembering a whole lot easier too 15:11:03 in which context 15:11:04 s/combounded/compounded/ 15:11:09 finnish word for woman? 15:11:10 agh 15:11:16 futhin: poika is boy 15:11:20 in which context you want to use it? 15:11:26 what's poikasto? :P 15:11:33 nothing 15:11:33 futhin: thats what iknow - ihope :) - eg ;) 15:11:51 futhin -sto means collection of something, but even it were word, poika woudl ahve some changes 15:12:00 pojasto might be then it's form 15:12:19 finnish is very equal language, we dont have separate she and he 15:12:30 hän refers to both 15:12:38 ö in hungarian ;) 15:13:01 sorry õ (what is o" in fact) 15:13:02 thuogh, in daily speak we use even "se" - it, which refers both living humans, animals and items and abstact consepts 15:13:14 onetom ö with ´´? 15:13:25 yes 15:13:29 long ö 15:13:33 no dots, but ... 15:13:35 yes 15:13:39 :) 15:13:53 futhin, what kind of woman? 15:14:01 nainen refers to woman as gender 15:14:05 vaimo = wife 15:14:13 tyttöystävä = girlfriend 15:14:20 tyttö = girl 15:14:27 there are so many words 15:14:40 so nainen = female, right? 15:14:45 yes 15:15:03 but person can also be nainen 15:15:18 (it resembles a bit 2 maidchen...) 15:15:18 kiinnostava nainen = interesting female 15:15:20 :) 15:15:30 woman is nõ in hungarian ;) 15:15:41 * Juu has hungarian dictionary :) 15:15:48 oh, and it's even on table 15:16:22 so she is a female sound like: õ nõ 15:16:40 was this question? :) 15:16:50 [nainen] 15:16:50 (just 2 show some funny examples) 15:16:58 [nai-nen] 15:18:05 kc5tja what else you want to know? 15:18:07 :) 15:18:09 anyway, nõ also mean grow, so the previous sentence also means "s/he grows" -- just 4 phun 15:19:04 :) 15:19:31 --- quit: futhin (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer)) 15:21:02 Juu: I'm reading a website on Finnish phonemes now, and I don't follow their voiced/unvoiced consonants and stuff. They list words like "bag" and "gate" as examples, but all the consonants there are pronounced. It's only the trailing 'e' that isn't pronounced. 15:21:33 Juu: They also discuss something called 'opposition," in reference to the above mentioned voicing issue. I'm still trying to decipher it. 15:22:44 gate [geit] 15:22:54 let [let] is better example 15:23:05 bag [bäg] 15:23:23 ä is also now (ae) so a bit more open ä than in finnish suppose 15:24:22 Sure, but I see no unvoiced consonants in the words. I pronounce all consonants in each of the words mentioned. 15:24:41 unvoiced doesn't mean not pronounced 15:25:26 --- quit: rob_ert ("Strawberry fields forever.") 15:25:42 several consonants come in voiced/unvoiced pairs: t/d, p/b, z/s, etc. 15:27:17 AAaahh...OK. I see. 15:27:29 every letter is pronounced 15:27:48 So 'b' would be a "voiced" stop because you have to consciously make an effort to stop the airflow to pronounce it, while 'p' is unvoiced because it can be made in passing. 15:29:30 aha, my dictionary tells me voicing is resonance of the vocal chords 15:30:47 b and voiced are softer and p and friends are "harder" 15:32:51 deltab: In a musical sense, yes. But in terms of spoken phonemes, that's nonsensical. :) Consonants don't use the vocal chords. :) 15:33:15 doesn't seem right to me either 15:33:29 look in a book about phonology :-) 15:36:48 kc5tja and deltab want to learn finnish? 15:36:54 and help me with the tutorial 15:37:08 i have collected grammar and i know words as i'm native speaker :) 15:37:17 yet, i could record samples 15:37:40 Juu: I can't right now. 15:38:09 not now 15:38:12 i'm goign to sleep :) 15:38:57 but some other tiem? 15:38:58 time 15:39:05 day time ;) 15:39:22 Well, what's nighttime for you is daytime for me. :) 15:39:27 --- quit: GilbertBSD (Read error: 113 (No route to host)) 15:39:29 But we'll see. 15:42:16 but are you interested anyway? 15:43:29 I suppose I can give it a try... 15:43:43 Is this a tutorial that you've written yourself, or...? 15:44:03 i have not yet written 15:44:08 i'll write what you want to learn 15:44:15 i can scan finnish food packets texts 15:44:18 for example 15:44:20 comics 15:44:23 and websites 15:44:30 what you want to learn 15:44:34 there are others too 15:44:36 who want 15:45:00 Oooh.
