"How come you're speaking finnish?"
By "how come" ...do you mean "why"?
Being a question it should be
...are you..?
Also, Finnish requires capital letter. | | | 25 Aprilo 2008 23:44 | | | The original text is written in slang.
To reflect this 'how come' is deliberately chosen instead of just 'why'.
Capital letter in Finnish is of course OK. | | | 25 Aprilo 2008 23:58 | | | OK, then. I just wanted to be sure that it really meant "why".
What about the interrogative form? | | | 28 Aprilo 2008 00:19 | | | Hi Bamsse, Hi Lilly 
I was just wondering about the word "sweetiest", which seems somewhat strange to me, even for slang.
Maybe "sweetest" would be more "usual"

Tantine | | | 1 Majo 2008 14:10 | | | it s "How do you speak finnish ?"(almost same as why can you speak finnish?) | | | 2 Majo 2008 13:01 | | | The difficulty here is to convey the meaning of the "-pä" in sinäpä. Some other possiblities for you english-speaking people to consider what would be the best way to express the idea:
(How cute/sweet girl you are)
But you are a cute girl
What a cute girl you are
I don't know it the superlative form conveys the same message, might well be.
As for the second sentence it says how it is possible that you CAN speak Finnish, maybe:
(How come you speak Finnish?)
How did you learn Finnish?
I would define the original as spoken language, not exactly slang. | | | 3 Majo 2008 10:56 | | | I think the translation should be: "You sure are a cute girl. How come you know Finnish?" | | | 4 Majo 2008 19:27 | | | |
