As a Finnish language teacher, I welcome you to the Numbers 1-20 lesson in our Complete 0 to A1 Finnish Course. Learning the numbers is essential for basic communication in daily life, and will lay the foundation for future lessons in this course. In this lesson, you will learn the numbers from 1 to 20 in Finnish and how to use them in sentences. Let's get started!
With the completion of this lesson, consider investigating these related pages: Politics and Government & Days of the Week.
Basic Numbers
In Finnish, the numbers from 1 to 20 each have their own unique name. These names will be used frequently, so it is important to memorize them. Below you will find a table with the numbers, their pronunciations, and their translations:
| Finnish | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| Yksi | [ˈyksi] | One |
| Kaksi | [ˈkɑksi] | Two |
| Kolme | [ˈkolme] | Three |
| Neljä | [ˈneljæ] | Four |
| Viisi | [ˈviisi] | Five |
| Kuusi | [ˈkuusi] | Six |
| Seitsemän | [ˈseitsɛmæn] | Seven |
| Kahdeksan | [ˈkɑhdeksɑn] | Eight |
| Yhdeksän | [ˈyhdeksæn] | Nine |
| Kymmenen | [ˈkymːenɛn] | Ten |
| Yksitoista | [ˈyksitoinen] | Eleven |
| Kaksitoista | [ˈkɑksitoistæ] | Twelve |
| Kolmetoista | [ˈkolmetɔistɑ] | Thirteen |
| Neljätoista | [ˈneljætɔistɑ] | Fourteen |
| Viisitoista | [ˈviisitɔistɑ] | Fifteen |
| Kuusitoista | [ˈkuusitɔistɑ] | Sixteen |
| Seitsemäntoista | [ˈseitseˌmɑntɔistɑ] | Seventeen |
| Kahdeksantoista | [ˈkɑhdeksɑnˌtɔistɑ] | Eighteen |
| Yhdeksäntoista | [ˈyhdeksænˌtɔistɑ] | Nineteen |
| Kaksikymmentä | [ˈkɑksiˌkymːɛntæ] | Twenty |
As you can see, Finnish is a phonetic language, which means that it is pronounced exactly as it is written. Do not be afraid of the number of syllables or the length of the words - with practice, the numbers will become easier and easier to pronounce.
Using Numbers in Sentences
Now that you know the basic numbers, you can start using them in sentences. Below you will find some examples of how to use numbers in Finnish:
- Yksi omena, kiitos. (One apple, please.)
- Kahdeksanvuotias poika. (An eight-year-old boy.)
- Neljäs rivi vasemmalta. (The fourth row from the left.)
- Kaksitoista kuukautta vuodessa. (Twelve months in a year.)
- Minulla on kuusi veljeä. (I have six brothers.)
- Yhdeksänkymmentäyhdeksän prosenttia vedestä on puhdasta. (Ninety-nine percent of the water is clean.)
When using numbers in sentences, remember the word order in Finnish. The basic word order of a Finnish sentence is subject-verb-object, just like in English. However, the number comes before the noun it is describing in Finnish. For example, "kolme kirjaa" (three books) is translated directly as "three books," with "kolme" coming before "kirjaa."
Congratulations! You have learned the numbers 1-20 in Finnish and how to use them in sentences. In the next lesson, we will learn how to tell time in Finnish. Keep practicing and see you in the next lesson!
