Since in English they both can translate to "what"- these two words are often confused. I'll go over example sentences using each word and try to explain the slight difference in connotation between the two and which types of sentences "mikä" and "mitä" can be used in! It's a bit tricky so if you have any lingering questions do ask them in the comments! 🥰 Summary: MIKÄ = what / which used to ask about concrete, countable, tangible things MITÄ = what (partitive form of mikä) used to ask about noncountable things, abstract ideas, when using the partitive case (and verbs that need partitive eg. katsoa), asking about doing something and what something is made from ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ QUIZ ANSWERS 1) MITÄ haluat tehdä tänään? = What do you want to do today? (asking about doing = mitä) 2) MITÄ kirjaa luet? = What book are you reading? (kirjaa is in partitive and we need a partitive answer = mitä, eg. Luen suomen kielen kirjaa) 3) MIKÄ näistä paidoista on parempi? = Which of these shirts is better? (asking about two tangible objects = mikä) 4) MITÄ mieltä sä olet? = What do you think / What's your opinion? (asking about abstract thoughts = mitä) 5) MIKÄ on sun koiran nimi? = What is your dog's name? (asking about a specific name = mikä) 6) MITÄ limua toi on? = What soda is that? (asking about uncountable liquid = mitä) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ▫️ S U P P O R T M Y C H A N N E L ▫️ ● Patreon:   / katchats   ● YouTube Memberships:    / @katchatsfinnish   ● Book a 1-1 Class with Me: https://www.italki.com/affshare?ref=a... ● Monthly Newsletters (FREE workbooks included): https://stats.sender.net/forms/aAQoja... ● Support me on PayPal: https://paypal.me/KatChatsFinnish?cou... ♡ 📷 S O C I A L M E D I A🐥 ♡ ● Instagram:   / katchatss   ● Facebook:   / katchatsyoutube   ● Facebook Finnish Group Page: https://bit.ly/2Gl5u5e 🎬 V L O G C H A N N E L: https://www.youtube.com/adamLsidney?s... ▫️ A F F I L I A T E L I N K S ▫️ ● HerFinland Finnish Courses ✨ ╰ FREE FINNISH CULTURE CLASS: https://bit.ly/katchatsfinland ╰ FREE FINNISH CLASS: https://bit.ly/katchatsfinnish ╰ CONVERSATIONAL FINNISH CLASS: https://bit.ly/katchatsconversational ╰ CONVERSATIONAL FINNISH CLASS 2: https://bit.ly/katchatsconvofin2 ▫️ B U S I N E S S I N Q U I R I E S ▫️ Please don't message me about private Finnish lessons, I currently only offer them on italki! ♡ ✉ [email protected] ▫️ c h a p t e r s ▫️ 0:00 intro 0:20 ad italki 1:48 mikä 6:26 mitä 14:08 mikä vs mitä 16:22 quiz 17:02 outro _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Thank you for watching! ♥ KatChats ♥
