voida = to can
pystyä = to be able to

ryagami, aloit siis opiskella suomen kieltä. Myönnän auliisti, että se on aika vaikeaa. Teit virheen kirjainten järjestyksen kanssa, mutta sellaista sattuu eikä se ole vakavaa.

ryagami, so you started studying Finnish. I freely admit it's quite difficult. You made a mistake with the order of the lettering, but that happens and it's not serious.

I don't think it's been posted here, but I could have missed it. It could also be somewhere else.

It means "Finnish is the most best language". xD

But I am not sure what the pun is.

I wasn't  even intending a pun, just the reference to our most best captain.  There's probably something in my most crappy Finnish grammar.  But I'm pleased anyhow.   ;D

Norwegian Sigrun using that wording all the time while the Finns just silently make it proper grammar for themselves sounds about right. :D

Kiitos! "Kieltä" onko partitiivissa? Joka tapauksessa on "vaikeaa"?

Tattia :o. En minä koskaan tavannut ne niin aikaisin enkä jopa uskonut ne voivat kasvaa toukokuussa.

Tatteja toukokuussa O_o Nyt ovat maailmankirjat sekaisin. Ainoat syötävät sienet mitä meiltä päin tällä hetkellä löytyy ovat korvasienet, ja niitäkin löysin vain yhden.

Boletes in May O_o Now "the books of world are in disorder". The only edible mushrooms that can be found around here at the moment are lorchels, and even of those I've only found one.

Tuota noin... Minun mielestäni molemmat ovat partitiivissa, mutta kielioppini on vähän ruosteessa.

Well... In my opinion they are both in partitive, but my grammar is a little rusty.

Voitattejakin. Mutta sääsket ovat ihan mielipuoliset O_o. Tässä oli satanut melkein koko kuun.

P.S. Tällä illalla aion opiskella (vai opiskelemaan?) monikon partitiivia, toivottakaa minulle onnea! >_<

In English "can" and "be able to" have pretty much the same meaning, so I am still a bit confused. Do they mean the same in Finnish, too? Or are they used in different situations?
Sorry... I get confused really easily...

Ummmh not that that's likely to apply here, but I have been taught the idiom of "do what you can and can what you can't" ...

I take it "voida" doesn't mean "can" in the sense of "preserve [fruit, tomatoes, etc.] in cans, jars, or bottles"?  (I ask because I actually do know how to can and have the equipment for it, from years of living out in the country.)
