Thank you and please in Finnish.
Preface.
We open any foreign-Russian phrase book, and see a few phrases on the topic we need - convenient! But for some reason, these phrases sometimes cause surprise or even involuntary laughter if we use them among natural speakers. No, it’s not our fault that we didn’t remember it that way or pronounced it wrong, although it happens like that. Alas, very often the authors of phrasebooks - not necessarily linguists - create a "direct translation" of some Russian expression into a foreign one.
And direct translations, as you know, DO NOT HAPPEN.
And if English language already "worked out" in practice, almost all phrasebooks and thematic collections stopped publishing "weird" or outdated phrases. 
That with less popular languages \u200b\u200bis ordinary story. I come across such phrases in EVERY phrase book I see or even a book on learning Finnish. It would be necessary to write down this author and the book, so that, as in poetry, "the country knew its heroes." It's never too late, so here's the latest example for you, "Russian-Finnish Phrasebook, publishing house St. Petersburg, 2011 from the series "Crossing through Europe", author I.V. Lisovskaya. Otherwise, you can’t call the series a gallop. There are unused and heavily obsolete expressions. Although, in general, thanks to the author! Enjoy it, just be careful!
Well, we will create our own phrasebook.
By the way, all phrases and words can and should be LISTENED. Friends, this is important! Do not rely only on the signatures of the Finnish word in Russian letters. This is an example pronunciation. And, although the stress in Finnish words is always on the first syllable, and the Finnish words themselves are both written and read, nevertheless, the pronunciation of sounds should be “Finnish”.
Plus, listening to a word helps you remember it! This is especially true for men, their memory is most often "auditory".
The order of work with the material: Next to the phrase, you will see a link to the desired "translator" page. Do not look at the translation, it is very often wrong! We care about pronunciation. On the page below the right word there are icons - "microphone", "gramophone" and "keyboard". Click on the gramophone and listen to the pronunciation. Then, in order to memorize words and expressions, we repeat the entire lesson on our own:
- Open in a separate browser link "Google Translator" https://translate.google.ru/
- Let's open on this page, at the end of the lesson - "the dictionary of the lesson". We see a word or phrase on the site page, write it ourselves in the Translator and click on the "gramophone" at the bottom - we will hear the pronunciation of what is written. Thus, we use all 3 types of our memory - visual (reading), motor (writing, typing) and auditory. Learn more about how to overcome the language barrier
We start as usual with a simple one.
- Thank you LISTEN
Paljon kiitos - thank you very much (palon kiitos) LISTEN
Paljon kiitoksia –the same only very polite or formal
listen
In general, kiitos for Finns is not something like “thank you”, it’s more like “gratitude”, so there is 1 gratitude, “but is there 2 or 3?” - you continue my phrase. More or less like this. Of course, the Finns do not say “here are two thanks to you”, but they can say “many thanks” - Paljon kiitoksia; kiitoksia is the plural of kiitos. Finnish has a rule: "s"- goes into ks in education plural+ is always added i- this letter a among the Finns symbolizes many. number.
Kiitti – something like our “thank you”, “thank you, thank you” - a colloquial, familiar version.
But the Finns are familiar people. They also turn to teachers with “you” and even to the authorities. Because the kiitti variant is very used, especially in places large cluster shop type people.
There is an even shorter version: kiit
Feel free to use both kiitti and kiit in the store, at the checkout, thanks to passers-by or in any conversation with Finns.
Option Kiitan — I thank, formed from the verbkiittaa —thank rarely-used. The word exists, but is not used at all by the Finns without an addition:
Thank you! - kiitän teita! or
Thank you for the invitation - kiitan kutsusta
However, to be honest, and with the addition, the Finns also do not use this word, they prefer
Kiitos sinulle - thank you! Kiitos sinulle
……..minulle, hänelle, teille, meille, Annalle, kaikille –
- me, him (her), you, us, Anna, EVERYONE!
Kiitos kaikille onnitteluista - Thank you all for your congratulations
A handy example to explain:
-Thank you to whom?- add -lle ( hän-hänelle, Anna-Annalle)
-Thank you for what?- add to the word - sta :
Congratulations - onnittelu, for congratulations - onnittelusta; Thanks, Finns often use the plural. number - “for congratulations” - onnitteluista (did you notice i - an indicator of a plural number?)
Listen
kutsua - invitation kutsusta - for the invitation.Kiitos kutsusta - Thank you for the invitation
kiitos hauskasta illalasta! — Thank you for a pleasant evening.
hauska - pleasant, sweet
ilta (alternating lt-ll) - evening
kiitos avusta! - Thanks for the help
help - apua; for help -avusta (when adding -sta we change p on the v according to the rule closed syllable, more )
advice - neuvo - neuvosta (for advice) nevosta
for friendship - ystävyys - ystavyydesta 
courtesy - ystävälisyys - ystävällisyydesta (for courtesy, for friendly participation) required listen!
courtesy in service (for example, in a shop or office) - palvelu or service - palvelus -
ATTENTION: only one letter is added at the end, and the words change in completely different ways and have different meanings
kiitos palvelusta - thanks for the service, for example in the store. 
kiitos palveluksesta - thank you for the service, for example, a colleague washed your coffee cup (palveluksesta, words in -us, the -us rule becomes -ukse)
Kiitos palvelusta, salesman. Kiitos palvevu kse a hundred, friend - for the services!
hospitality - vieraanvaraisuus - vieraanvaraisuudesta (for hospitality). The word is long, compound. It will be easier if you burn out first in parts: Vieraan-vara-i-suudesta (vieras - guest, vara - reserve, reserve)
But, remember that you can’t answer the question “what should you pour? Answer "kahvia, ole hyva".
You can ask for help using ole hyva. For example, “ole hyvä ja auta” - please and help - literally 🙂 It can be translated as “be kind and help”, then “and” doesn’t sound so strange anymore. But if someone offers you help " May I assist you?" MUST answer:"kyllä, kiitos" or, for example, "kiitos, auta minut" - thank you, help me, which would be equivalent to "ours", help me, please. Or even like this: kiitos, auta minut ulos täältä- please help me get out of here.
Listen ______________________________________________
So, in Finnish "ole hyvä" means a request, "kiitos" means an answer.
"ole hyvä" implies politeness, request-question, uncertainty. kiitos" implies execution, sometimes even a command.
_________________________________________________________
Do not touch! - käsin ei saa koskea kiitos! ei saa- not allowed koskea - touch käsin- käsi - hand
listen
Sing, please, sing - that's what songbooks are called.
Please work on! Stay in touch - the answer of the leader of the party "Perus Suomalayset - True Finns" after the vote.
No ads! I mean, don't throw me newspapers, magazines and other rubbish! This plate flaunts on almost all Finnish front doors. In Finland, the postman “throws” mail not into mailboxes in the entrance, but into each apartment separately, using a special door slot. Hey minoxia! Hey!
Who with irritation and negligence: NO to pizza advertising: ADS is an abbreviation from English, an allusion to the fact that pizza delivery men are usually immigrants, “mowing” under a misunderstanding of Finnish. “I don’t want pizza ads!” is already in colloquial Finnish. Apparently, they got leaflets about pizza, which they threw into the slot without paying attention to the general inscription: “ei mainoksia kiitos!”
This is also a version of the door plate:
And this is a romantic, homely-cozy version of "hey minoxia"
So, with “please” - “thank you” figured out, how else can you respond to gratitude?
Responding to gratitude
The Finns do not bow their heads, they say, “I’m happy, but it was nice for me, d’speak again,” as the British, who know English, will understand. The Finns are simple:
ei kest! — not worth it! In the sense there is nothing to thank for, nonsense.
ei kestä kiit! - not worth a thank you (colloquial)
ei - as we know, it is equal to "not" but what is the word kestä?
kestaa
2) last, go on matka kestaää viikon
- the trip will last a week
se ei kesta kauan- it does not take much time
It was from the latter that the expression ei kestä came from - in the sense that the request did not take long, nothing!
Another option to say that it cost you nothing:
Ei se mitään - nothing, nothing. Literally, it is – it is (se) nothing ei mitään (what? - mitä), for example, in response to “What are you doing there? “You can also answer: “nothing” - Ei mitään.
And if someone accidentally pushed you and apologized, we also answer “ei mitään!”
What if we were happy to help? And we really want that everyone knew about it, then we learn the phrase:
-Ilo on mun puolellani - literally, joy is on my side 🙂 Meaning - with pleasure! (completely - minun, in conversation mun). But Finns very rarely express themselves like that, modest, ei kestä kiit!
Well, it's time for us to relax! Combining the pleasant with the useful, for example, listening to the song "Kiitos ei ole kirosana"
kirosana- curse, bad word. The song is often repeated
huutaa - shout älä huuda! - do not shout! The meaning of the song: why swear, say “thank you” more often.
Let's listen to one of the hyped and popular Finnish bands “Alo, Helsinki! Haloo Helsinki!
