The key to learning a language is to have a large vocabulary. As a result my resolution for 2009 is to learn ten new words a week. Here is the first list:
abbey - luostari
banknote - seteli
to study - opiskella
soon - pian
lip - huuli
to fix or to mend - korjata
glove - hansikas, although most Finns now use the word hanska
at once - heti
bitter - kitkerä or katkera. The latter is more useful, because it means bitter in taste, or bitter in emotion. The former just refers to taste.
blanket -peitto
