mitillä

Mitä is a Finnish word that translates to "what" in English. It is a common interrogative pronoun used in everyday conversation and writing. It functions similarly to "what" in English, asking for information about a thing, action, or idea. For example, "Mitä sinä teet?" translates to "What are you doing?". "Mikä" is another Finnish interrogative pronoun, often translated as "what" as well, but it typically refers to a specific object or person that has been previously identified or is readily observable. The distinction between "mitä" and "mikä" can be subtle and depends on context. "Mitä" is generally used in a broader sense, seeking general information or clarification, while "mikä" is more specific. Understanding this nuance is important for fluent Finnish speakers. The word "mitä" can also be used as a conjunction in some contexts, introducing subordinate clauses, though this usage is less frequent than its interrogative function. Its versatility makes it an essential part of the Finnish vocabulary.
