Questions & Answers about Milloin sinä tulet puistoon?

How do you pronounce Milloin correctly?

Milloin sounds roughly like “mee-loin” in English, but with the Finnish “i” sound (a bit shorter than in English). Remember that both “l” letters are pronounced clearly.

What is the difference between milloin and koska?

Both can be translated as when, but milloin is more direct for asking “At what time?”, typically used in questions. Koska can also mean because, so context is important; when used as when, it can ask about a cause or time, but you’ll more often see milloin at the start of a question for clarity.

Why is the word sinä not always used in Finnish?

In everyday Finnish, the personal pronoun is often omitted because the verb ending already indicates the person. You could simply say Milloin tulet puistoon? and it would still mean the same thing.

Why do we say puistoon with “-oon” at the end?

In Finnish, nouns take different case endings to show their role in the sentence. Puistoon is the illative case (indicating movement into something). So you’re literally saying “into the park,” which is why it has the “-oon” ending.
