A basic conversation in a Finnish supermarket

How do you greet the person at the supermarket checkout in Finnish?

Here’s a short video of a dialogue that you might hear in a Finnish shop. It includes:

• how to greet in Finnish
• the sentence “Tarvitko kuittii?” (“Do you need the receipt?”) in Finnish
• the sentence “Se pyytää sitä sirua” (“It’s asking for the chip” i.e. you need to put in the code)
• the famous Finnish utterance “No niin!”
• how to say goodbye in Finnish

I’ve drawn many, many images like this, created dialogue videos out of them and included them in my online Finnish course for beginners, Start Finking. If you like learning through images and stories, you can find the beginner course here.
