The 1000 Most Common Finnish Words
Finnish vocabulary, ordered by how often each word actually appears. Thanks to Zipf's law, a small set of words covers most of everyday Finnish — so learning them in frequency order is the fastest way to start understanding real Finnish.
Study all 1000 free, with spaced repetition →
Each entry shows the word, its part of speech, and its English meaning. Where it differs, the 🗣 line shows how the word is really said in spoken Finnish (puhekieli) — the form textbooks skip.
Why learn the most frequent words first?
The most common few hundred words account for a huge share of everyday speech and text. Instead of memorising random vocabulary, a frequency list lets you spend your effort where it pays off most — you start recognising real sentences almost immediately. VocabFreak turns this exact list into flashcards with spaced repetition, example sentences, and spoken-Finnish forms, so the words actually stick.
