I stuck in the situation where tavat and perrine mean tradition for me.

Here's how LMM explains the difference

Tavat:

  • In Finnish, tavat is the plural form of tapa.

  • Tapa means habit, custom, practice, manner.

  • So tavat translates as habits/customs (in plural).

    It can refer to traditions but also to general ways of doing things (e.g., social manners, everyday practices).

Perinne in Finnish actually does mean “tradition” or “heritage.”

WDYT?

 

Kiinnostus = interest (noun). A noun that refers to the feeling of interest or curiosity someone has.

Minulla on kiinnostus historiaan. = I have an interest in history.

Mielenkiintoinen = interesting (adjective). An adjective used to describe something that causes interest.

*Kuulostaa mielenkiintoiselta! = Sounds interesting! *

What do you think, is it correct?

Ajatella = "to think" (in general, consciously)

Luulla = "to think", but with the meaning of believing something to be true (perhaps mistakenly)

Is it correct assumption?

I'm looking for the place where I can discuss language and culture questions. Similar to https://german.stackexchange.com/
