HEY!! is there anywhere some Spanish people who is able to help me????!!! :lol:

Dakkus wrote:Finnish having exactly zero irregular verbs/substantives/words
I don't believe you, there are surely rules in the Finnish language that apply to exactly one word, and that is the same as an irregular word
the word "to be" for example has irregular forms
olla - pelata - ajella ("to be" - "to play" - "to drive around without a meaningful destination")
olen - pelaan - ajelen
olet - pelaat - ajelet
on - pelaa - ajelee
olemme - pelaamme - ajelemme
olette - pelaatte - ajelette
ovat - pelaavat - ajelevat
ole - pelaa - ajele
oleminen - pelaaminen - ajeleminen

Yes, the singular third person form of word olla ("to be") doesn't follow a logic used by other words. Therefore, it is deemed to be.. Irregular.
I would, however, argue that Finnish has precisely one irregular verb ;)

Then there's the word "ei". Not a verb though, but is conjugated as if it was a verb. And actually even that is regular :)
olla - ei ole
olen - en ole
olet - et ole
olemme - emme ole
olette - ette ole
ovat - eivät ole

Apparently the logical regular form would be "olee" instead of "on". I think I have heard some foreigner use that word :)

so why is it ei ole and not ee ole? And why eivät ole and not evät ole?

Also I heard that the partitive plural of some nouns is irregular
for example, what is "apples"? omenia or omenoja?

Well... This is obviously NOT off topic, but... where sould I have post this... ? :?

The point is that I read this information:
The central bank of Slovenia introduced the new 20 euro banknote today morning (Tue Apr 01, 2008) as the first euro banknote of the new series. Other countries will follow later this year.


- letter H in the series number
- date of issue 8.10.2007
- sign of the guverner of Bank of Slovenia along with the sign of Mr. Trichet. All new banknotes will bear the sign of country's central bank guverner together with ECB president's sign in the new series.
- The word EURO is written in all european languages and scripts, even in bulgarian, although this country hasn't accepted euro yet.
Is this true? 8O

Of course it is, it's even in the Banka Slovenije's website.
Though that information is incomplete: those notes will also have Duisenberg's signature and the word "euro" in Hebrew and Esperanto.
