Hey!

Today I would like to help you with Finnish counting.

Some tips about reading in Finnish.

Unfortunately there is no alternative in English for Finnish y sound. It resembles dejavU sound in French or Über in German.

Mind that stress in Finnish is always set on the first vowel.

• 1 = yksi [u'ksi]

• 2 = kaksi [ka'ksi]
