In general it's supposed to be low on consonants, I think.
However, the thing that always strikes me, hearing it spoken, is all those k's.
Yksi, kaksi, kolme, neljä, viisi, kuusi, seitsemän, kahdeksan, yhdeksän,
kymmenen, yksitoista, kaksitoista, you know?
And all those cases (~15 :dabs:) are evil too, more suphixes than I can stand.
I know what you mean; I live amongst a large lot of misplaced Finns who've made several miserably failed attempts to domesticate their...nomenclature, and have only mastered the name spellings of those employed at the plant I contract with.Quote:
