About this listen
Why is joulu written with a small letter, but Christmas with a big one?
And when should you write Kauppatori with a capital K— and when just kauppatori?
In this episode of Nasta Suomi, we explore the Finnish way of using capital letters — or, more often, not using them.
You’ll learn:
– when to write a big letter and when to keep it small,
– what’s the difference between erisnimet (proper nouns) and yleissanat (common nouns),
– and how meaning — not importance — decides which one to choose.
We’ll also look at fun borderline cases like Ruotsin-laiva vs ruotsinlaiva, suomirock vs Suomi Rock, and test you with a short mini-quiz on weekdays, professions, and holidays.
Simple, logical, and full of those “aha!” moments every Finnish learner needs.
