Duolingo Progress - spotlight on Finnish

Making progress with Zulu, Irish, Russian, Esperanto, Romanian, Czech, Danish, Hebrew, Italian, Vietnamese,  Spanish.

Can you recognise any words that I learned?

I am doing better at Hawaiian and Brazilian Portuguese.

Can you translate any of these words to English or your target langauge?

I am interested to learn Finnish. So far, the first Finnish word that I have come across in English is sauna.  It seems the Finns invented the sauna.

Finnish -	Minulla on ystävä, jolla on kolme kissaa

Part of speech	Translation
	English - I have a friend who has three cats

 Reflection: Most Finnish words don't remind me of English or another language that I am learning.  But I like kissaa for cats.  It makes me think of kitty.
