Letter Pronunciation

k [k]
l [l]
m [m]
n [n]
o [o]
p [p]
r [r]
s [s]
t [t]
u [u]
v [v]
w [v:]
y [y ]
ä [æ]

' (no sound)
ŋ = /ŋ/ (ng combination in Finnish
š [ʃ]
You can also use the cyrillic alphabet.
а = a
б = b
в = v
д = d
е = e
и = i
й = j
к = k
л = l
м = m
н = n
ф = w
о = o
п = p
р = r
с = s
т = t
у = u
х = h
ц = c
ш = š
ь = '
ю
= ju
я = ja
ӧ = ö
ä = ä
ы = y
ң = ŋ
š is found in all Uralic languages but is very rare in Finnish, though most people still know how to pronounce it. In Meänkieli š is typed "sj" but the sound is the same. ' does not make a sound but makes reading easier, since words can become very long when they are combined.
A word can have multiple endings so there is an order in how endings come. They are marked by a number.
SVO is used in informal speech but all word orders work
In Hungarian the word "to be" is usually at the end of the sentence, however here it is at the middle like in the Finnic languages.
In Finnish some words are prepositions and some are postpositions, in Uraliisho you can use a word as a postposition or a preposition freely.
In very formal writings, such as poetry or a religious book double vowels such as "aa" are marked by ´ on the top of a vowel, for example:
á = aa
é = ee
ó = oo
ú = uu
(not used with the vowels ä and ö)
Basic vocabulary
ma = i, me
tä = you
höö = he, she, ipå
make = we, us
täke = you ( plural )
hööke = they
še = it
šeke = those, them, they
conjugations ( ending number 14 )
sööha = to eat
(ma) sööham = i eat
(tä) sööhak = you eat
(make) sööhame = we eat
(höö,še) sööhap = he,she, it eats
(täke) sööhata = you(plural) eat
( hööke/šeke ) sööhah = they eat
Past tense ( ending number 14 )
sööha = to eat
sööhajim = i ate
sööhajik = you ate
sööhajip = he,she, it ate
sööhajita = you(plural) ate
sööhajih = they ate
The endings are the same as in the present tense, however the letters "ji" are asserted before it
Negatives.
The endings remain the same, but the word "nem" is inserted between the pronoun and the verb. Negatives in all tenses are formed by putting the word "nem" after the verb.
ma nem sööham = i do not eat
tä nem sööhak = you do not eat
This works the same way with the past tense
Ma nem sööhajim = i did not eat
Tä nem sööhajik = you did not eat
Imperative (Ending number 14)
The imperative has the ending "pa" in every verb, if needed you can use the personal pronoun.
Sööhapa = eat!
Tä sööhapa = you eat!
Negatives work the same way
Tä nem sööhapa = you do not eat!
Passive verbs ( ending number 15 )
Passives are made just by adding "h" to the end of the word
For past tense passive "jih"
sööhajih
if you want to make it negative use the word "nem"
you can combine it with the pluperfect or the perfect or other verb endings to change its meaning. The passive usualy comes after them.
vajajip pakajanuhh = had been spoken
kas seel pakajah = is there (something) (being) spoken, is someone speaking there?
When the verb is passive, the subject undergoes the action rather than doing
soomo voohtitajih
finland was beaten
you can also use the passive ending to say "let's/ let us"
pakajah = let's speak
voohtitah še
lets win it!
Passive also means that it is not known who does the action,
in England Finnish is not spoken
Eŋlandoben nem pakajah soomon nelvom
in England English is spoken
Eŋlandoben pakajah eŋlandon nelvom
Questions
Put the word "kas" to the start of a sentence or word to make it a question.
kas tä vajak = are you
In Finnish you would use the endings ko/kö, but the word "kas" comes from Estonian.
( ending number 14 )

tä vajak eelanuh
you have lived
For negatives put "nem" before the verb "to be"

These are formed the same way as the perfect except that the verb "to be" is in past tense
ma vajajim eelanuh

For negatives put "nem" before the verb "to be"
tä nem vajajik sööhanuh

he sang
höö nem loovlapksi
