About this listen

Have you ever said minua väsyttää and thought: “Wait… who is this mysterious someone who makes me tired?”

In this episode of Nasta Suomi, Anastasia — your calm and slightly funny Finnish teacher from Helsinki — explains emotion verbs, those magical Finnish verbs that describe how feelings happen to you.


You’ll learn:

  • why we say minua väsyttää instead of olen väsynyt
  • two families of feeling verbs: emotions (harmittaa, ilahduttaa, pelottaa) and sensations (väsyttää, paleltaa, janottaa)
  • how old Finnish beliefs about nature and spirits still live in the language today
