100 Random Finnish Nouns - Intermediate Level PART TWO

In this article, you can find a list of 100 fairly common intermediate level nouns in a random order with no specific theme. I think every intermediate learner has gaps in their knowledge, so even if you do know many of these, I’m pretty sure you’ll find a couple to learn! This is the second article I’ve done with 100 random, intermediate level words. Check out the first one here!

Ways to use this list:

If many of the words at first glance seem too difficult for you, skim through the English translations and pick a few which you would like to remember.
Cover up either the Finnish or the English side and try to come up with the translation yourself. Personally, I have a much harder time going English > Finnish than the other way around.
Turn it into a game! Find another Finnish learner and compare how many words you both know. Try explaining them to one another in Finnish!
Invent and write a story using 10 or 15 of the words in the list.
