Being pregnant in Finnish
Being pregnant in Finnish
When a woman is expecting a child in Finnish, shes raskaana, which literally means in a heavy condition. (Raskas means heavy.) Here are some common pregnancy-related phrases:
- Oletko kuullut kuka odottaa vauvaa? - Have you heard who is expecting a baby?
- Mun sisko on raskaana. - My sister is pregnant.
- Meille tulee vauva! - Were going to have a baby!
- Villest� tulee isoveli. - Ville is going to be a big brother.
- Sin� saat pikkusiskon. - Youre going to have a little sister.
- Laskettu aika on lokakuussa. - The expected due date is in October.
- Onkohan Tiina raskaana? - I wonder if Tiina is pregnant. (Notice that it is not polite to ask a woman if shes pregnant!)
