Congratulations on your effort ! You got pretty close on the literal meaning, except in this construction the verb "tulla" does not translate as "come". The meaning is more along the lines of "become" or even "reach". It means that this thread just turned two - "just reached the point of two full years of age" if you will. You can think of the combination "tulla täyteen" as "reach fulfillment", or as reaching some kind of limit. Also note that the word "just", handy as it is, and meaning approx. the same thing as "just" in English, is very colloquial and wouldn't do at all in formal language.

Hmmm, I see I am going to have troubles interpreting the language. ^^ Even with your explanation, I wouldn't have taken it like that. I think I'd still be confused at what just made 2 years of "age".
I really appreciate the explanation though. ^^ And sorry for the English in this thread. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

"Just reached 2 years of age" might be more obvious. But don't worry too much about it. Some idiomatic expressions like this will seem strange at first, but they are the exceptions. And these difficulties will gradually shrink in size and disappear, as you get used to the particulars of the language.
No worries. It's OK to use English if you really need it to have a point explained properly. Mutta suomeksi voi myös kysyä ! :o) 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yksi suomalainen lisää ilmottautuu o/
Täytyy vaan sanoa, että minusta on aika hassua että joku haluaa oppia suomea, minusta se on aika ruma kieli :o Siis tökkivän ruma. Ei kauniin soljuva kuten joku ranska :< Mutta saas nähä miten potkin tällä forella käyntiin, kun joskus on sormet vähän solmussa kirjoittaessa xD Sanokaa heti jos tulee joku bugi, on viime päivinä alkanu tuntumaan että en enää suomeakaan osaa :s 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Heh, no makunsa kullakin. Omasta kielestään on joskus vaikea olla mitään mieltä kun sen tuntee niin hyvin että on vaikea kuvitella miltä se kuulostaa muille. Minusta suomi kuulostaa kyllä kivalta mutta sen varsinainen viehätys ei ole siinä, vaan sen erikoisessa rakenteessa ja uskomattoman tehokkaassa ilmaisuvoimassa. Tervetuloa mukaan vaan ! 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Ranskahan on pahimmillaan tà yttà rà kimistà ! :p Ei pahalla...
Mun mielestà suomi on aika peruskieli, ei erityisen kaunis eikà erityisen ruma. Eniten siinà à rsyttà và t ehkà joidenkin "nerojen" keksimà t uudissanat (esim. mikà helvetin "Suokki"? Se on Suomenlinna, prkl. Ja mikà on "moon"? Mà ainakin sanon reilusti 'mà oon'. Ja sillà sipuli.) ja murteen kà yttò normaalin puhekielen seassa pà à kaupunkiseudulla on erittà in à rsyttà và uusi ilmiò. Miksi kukaan tà ysjà rkinen tahtoo tehdà sellaista? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Minusta ranska on kai maailman rumin kieli :D kun taas suomi on kaunein *_*
Ja erilaiset murteet ovat mun mielestä kivoja:))) kai siksi että venäjällä on niitä aika vähän, eikä niihin yleensä suhtauduta hyvin :/ 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Itse pidän ranskan kielestä - tällä hetkellä kuuntelen ranskankielistä laulua. Itse en sitä puhu enkä aio opiskella, en ainakaan vielä, mutta silti rakastan sitä. Keväällä aioin aloittaa venäjän L-R:n, käyttäen Pikku Prinssiä ja ranskalais-venäjänkielistä tekstiä. Sen sijaan... kuuntelin ranskankielistä Petit Princeä! 1 person has voted this message useful |
