Hyvää päivää! That’s “good day” in Finnish and just one of the thousands of words and phrases you can learn with the latest addition to the Drops family of languages.
Finnish is the 34th language offered in Drops, coming after Samoan and Maori released earlier this year.
Did you know that there are fewer Finnish speakers than there are people living in Finland? While Finnish is one of the 24 official languages of the EU, there are only about 5 million speakers worldwide. We think it’s time to change that.
Finnish has one of the longest words in the world--lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas (“airplane jet turbine engine auxiliary mechanic non-commissioned officer student”)--though it isn’t commonly used. And one of the oldest examples of Finnish writing that exists is a spell from the 1200s. And many fans heavy of metal music (or metallimusiikki) choose to learn the language because the genre is so popular in Finland and many songs are written in the language.
By learning hyvää päivää, you’ve already embarked on your journey to learning the Finnish language. And it’s just one phrase among thousands of other words and expressions you can learn in Finnish with Drops. Plus, we work with local translators and native speakers to ensure you get a high-quality language learning experience in Finnish.
Ready to swipe, tap, and play your way to learning thousands of words in Finnish? Sisu is how the Finns describe their national character of hardiness and resilience. With just 5 minutes a day, you can build your own resilience, too!
Our team curates useful, relevant word lists you just won’t find anywhere else. It’s one of the app’s features we’re most proud of and it offers you a personalized and seamless Finnish learning experience.
Whether you’re interested in talking about your most recent camping trip or determining how to get around on your upcoming trip to Suomi (that’s the Finnish word for “Finland”), Drops is here to support you along the way.
Before we say näkemiin (“goodbye”), we’d like to invite you along on a journey with us. In just five minutes a day, you can start learning the Finnish language.
"Love my fun language learning and practice with daily Drops sessions, and monthly Challenges to participate in, and quiz mode to test contextual learning - brilliant! So much thought, consideration and inclusivity has gone into the design and function of this app, I can't praise it highly enough."
"Great little learning app! I've learned at least 5-10 new words in Spanish in my first 5 minutes. Easy to pick up and thorough."
"Great language learning app! It helps you get daily words done in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend using drops to learn whatever language you want to learn."
"What an amazing app! I’ve tried several apps for language learning and I cannot recommend Drops enough. I don’t know how a short Drops session can teach me as much as 1 hour+ of focused use of other apps, it’s like magic."
"Amazing language learning tool. Excellent app for increasing vocabulary in your foreign language of choice. Useful for beginner, intermediate, and advanced learners. The repetition of the words makes them much easier to remember, and without the hassle of making your own flash cards. I have used Drops for two years now and have seen great results."
"Very engaging way of learning Yoruba in a stimulating way. Will be using to learn myself and to teach my child!"
"Less than a week in but using this alone with the popular one babbel working on German. When using just one app I got bored, babbel is not as fun. So using both at once actually let's my adhd do its thing but I still focused since I can switch easily between both apps and work in different areas. Also I like the quick little sessions makes me feel like I actually did something."
"So engaging. I speak Spanish well, but often forget words in conversation that I know I should know. This game is fun and quickly brings back vocabulary I may have put in the back of my brain after not using it for awhile. Case in point: I spent 11 years in construction, then went back to teaching in English and/or Spanish depending on the teacher/student"
"Amazing app"
