    Picture dictionary

    We are creating together a picture dictionary with another Finnish 1 course.

    Add pictures that you have taken yourself (to avoid issues with copy right) and add the name of the item in the picture in Finnish and in English and in your own native language. Add your own native language to pictures that others have added. Teachers will check the Finnish words and add genitive and partitive forms.
