But there's no need to remeaninglise this particular word...

What makes Finnish hard for some (me) is when you have to say for example "the 2581st something", and spell 2581st out, it becomes something like "kahdestuhannesviidessadanneskahdeksanneskymmenesensimmäinen"

(Maybe someone who is better at Finnish than me can tell us how it really should be )

I was born french, not from france but from Quebec in Canada. For me this looks more like a drawing than an actual word!

Try and learn it isn't too hard..LOL No-one actually writes out 2581st in written language but that is how it is written.. The normal words are quite a lot shorter..

Of course but as agglutinating languages in general, Finnish words still seem to gain some length in real usage... Anyway, my favorite parts of Finnish are the ä's, particularly when there are three or four of them in a word, sometimes even paired. I'm wondering how you write them when you write in hand, it must be quite tireing...

can someone pls. write out that word in English phoenetics .. ?
