Finnish Word of the Day

Haluta is the common verb for wanting or desiring something or to do something. It is direct — for polite requests Finns often use the conditional form haluaisin (I would like) or Haluaisitko (Would you like...) instead of a blunt haluan. Common present forms: haluan (I want), haluat (you want), hän haluaa (he/she wants). When asking for an unspecified amount of something, the item often appears in the partitive (e.g. haluan omenaa).
