Regarding difference in vowel length... Use a machine translator of your choice and translate these two phrases from Finnish to your mother tongue:

  • Tapaan sinut.
  • Tapan sinut.

Safe travels!

Haha. Nice one.

Especially because getting the vowels right is usually pretty challenging to like, English speakers.
