FINNISH
I've started Chapter 30 of "Kuulostaa hyvältä". The chapter's dialogue involves Anna and Anssi talking about the painter, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, while having a drink on the occasion of Anssi's nameday. The dialogues introduced the agent participle which by coincidence mick33 touched on in this recent entry.
A couple of things jump out at me about this participle. The first is its visual resemblance to the "-ma" infinitive in Estonian.
kirjutama "to write" (Estonian)
kirjoittama "which has been / was written" (Finnish)
The second is that its use is consistent with Finnish's tendency not to use subordinated clauses as much as in Romance, Germanic or Slavonic languages. The agent participle is linked to an action in the past but my translating it closely to English would lead to awkward structures in the latter that use an adjective or that are in passive.
"In our read texts/texts read by us were many difficult words"
Meidän lukemissamme teksteissä oli paljon vaikeita sanoja
"There were many difficult words in the texts that we read"
Teksteissä, joita luimme, oli paljon vaikeita sanoja
(From Kiroilevasiili)
1) "Yes! Vacation!"
2) "Vacation? Oh, have ya been at some kinda work? - Huh? Work?"
3) "Yeah. If there's no work, then there's no vacation at all."
4) "Damned killjoy!"
This comic strip has a lot of slang and is named after the main character which is a porcupine that curses profusely. I don't find it that funny but apparently many Finns do based on the strip being awarded a prize in 2008. Nonetheless reading it is handy for reinforcing my knowledge of colloquial Finnish and slang. In this instance I understood everything without the help of a dictionary (following my Finnish friends' posts on Facebook certainly has helped with picking up slang), but I'll list the slang and colloquialisms anyway for anyone who's still very much a beginner in Finnish.
- Ai! "Oh!"
- Duuni (duunin, duunia, duuneja) "job, work" (impress your Finnish friends by saying Mä oon duunissa for the bookish Minä olen työssä or less bookish and pedestrian Mä olen töissä when you want to say: "I'm at work" or "I'm working")
- Helevetin (standard: helvetin) "damned, hell of a..."
- Jes! "Yes!"
- jossai (standard: jossa(k)in) "at/in some kind of..." (inessive singular of jokin "some")
- Ootsä ollu... (standard: Oletko sinä ollut) "Have you been", "Were you"

NORTHERN SAAMI
I finished Unit 1 of Davvin 3 which reviewed topics seen in Davvin 1 and 2. These topics were the use of infinitive, the compound past tense, declension for stems of an odd or even number of syllables, and changes to -logi or -lohkái in compound numerals that precede nouns.
Vocabulary for Unit 1
amma - "most likely, probably"
attestit - "to give out a portion of sg"
áviisa - "newspaper"
beare - "excessively, too"
duvle - "recently"
gielistit - "to tell a lie"
láhppit - "to lose, misplace"
máksit - "to pay"
vahkku - "week"
viežžat - "to get, retrieve, seek"

TURKISH
I finished Unit 4 of "Teach Yourself Beginner's Turkish". The unit's dialogues and notes introduced the locative suffixes -da / -de, interrogative particles mi / mı / mu / mü, and common phrases used when eating out. It is somewhat disconcerting for me that Turkish is not holding my fascination as much as I had thought that it would / should. It seems to be a combination of being "just another language" in my rotation and a large portion of the vocabulary which has no similarity to anything that I've seen before. I do hope that this will pass in good time, since I don't feel that I'm devoting as much time to it as I would to a new language that requires much work to become just a solid beginner in it.

OTHER LANGUAGES
As my next deadline for BCMS/SC approaches, I've been doing "passive shadowing" of the dialogues in Chapter 4 of "Teach Yourself Serbian" and Chapter 2 of "Spoken World: Croatian". I also finished my homework for my Ukrainian class, and have been doing passive shadowing of the dialogues and narratives in Chapters 2 and 3 in "Modern Ukrainian". Being so tongue-tied in my last Ukrainian class still stings on the inside...

The way I understand "Ai ootsä ollu jossai duunissa?" is closer to "You have (had) a job?" or "You've been working somewhere?".
"Olla duunissa" and "olla X:llä duunissa" are two different concepts: the former means "to be at (the) work(place)", the latter "I work for company X".
So, if your buddy calls you and says:
"Moi! Mis sä oot?"
You might answer:
"Duunis."
On the other hand, if someone asks you what you do for a living, you could reply with:
"Mä oon duunis Nokialla."
The above is in what I consider to be fairly standard colloquial Helsinki dialect, as spoken by people in the age bracket 15-30, or so. Duuni, by the way, is a word that very few outside the Greater Helsinki area would use, which is part of the joke in the hedgehog strip. Not that I'm a big fan of Kiroileva siili.
Edit:
Took out my usual disclaimers about the uncertainty of this, that and the other--and the post is better for it.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone use the word 'paukkumaissi' other than jokingly. It's a good example of what I like to call Aku Ankka -kieli: colourful, often humoristic, slightly non-standard language that employs lots of synonyms and witty metaphors, and inevitably comes off as chatty.
Note that "Kansi päälle!" can also be interpreted as "A lid for the head!", since pää = head. :-)

HUNGARIAN
I have finished Selection 3 of "FSI Hungarian Graded Reader". The text was a fairly bland one about the seasons. The accompanying exercises involved forming present particples that end in -ó/-ő and getting familiar with the derivational suffix -ul/-ül which converts nouns or adjectives to verbs that refer to a change of state into that noun or adjective (e.g. zöld “green” ~ zöldülni “to become green”). I also completed a few more exercises from “Magyarországon szeretnék dolgozni” in eMagyarul-2 which by coincidence focused on the present participle suffix -ó/-ő.
(From Kázmér és Huba – Képeslap.com)
1) "How did you like the kids' matinée at the movies?"
2) "Movies? Right, the movies! Yes, there was a movie. It was really good, I think."
3) "What was the matinée like?"
4) "We will buy a video!"

I did my week's allotment of Slovak by finishing the remaining exercises in the first chapter of the first workbook (pp. 19-21) of "Hovorme spolu po slovensky! B - Slovenčina ako cudzí jazyk". These exercises were for the relative pronoun ktorý/á/é and adjectives that function as nouns (e.g. cestovné “expense [related to travelling]”).

BCMS/SC
I finished reviewing Chapter 3 of "Beginner’s Serbian" and Chapter 4 of "Teach Yourself Serbian". The former refreshed my knowledge of adjectives, adverbs, and possessive and demonstrative pronouns. The latter’s dialogues involved ordering at restaurants and focused on the direct object and quantifying items ordered in "low" quantities (i.e. no more than 4 items). The counting system in BCMS/SC is such that items quantified between 2 and 4 are put in genitive singular as in Russian but unlike the treatment in Czech, Polish, Slovak and Ukrainian which use nominative plural in this situation.
(From Strip Vesti – internet nedeljnik (Cane))
1) "There’s no rescue for me. Lost. In the middle of the ocean. I’m drinking the last can of beer."
2) "Can of beer. Beer."
3) "Why the hell won’t you wake him up?" – Wake him up? Not a chance. Now it’s getting interesting. Besides, don’t you see that I’m recording this? – Beer… beer… beer…"
- pobogu (intensifier of vague spiritual nature linked to an interrogative pronoun) (побогу)

FINNISH
I finished Chapter 31 of "Kuulostaa hyvältä". The chapter’s dialogue invovled Jutta and Anssi taking in some paintings by Gallen-Kallela at the Ateneum in Helsinki. The first point of "new" grammar was the use of the active past particple translative as part of a structure to mark unplanned or unintended past events. This structure concisely but silently adds a tag along the lines of "…as it turned out/happened", "…by the way" or "… and/but you should (not) have" which indicates a certain judgement on the user’s part. The second point of grammar was the instructive case which is practically limited to set phrases and declension of the second infinitive after having its banal sense of "by means of" mostly assumed by the semantically similar adessive case.
Tulin käyneeksi viikonloppuna myös Kuopiossa. "[As it happened] I also visited Kuopio on the weekend"
(Ystävällisin) terveisin "(With friendly) regards" (ending for a letter or card).
Jaakko lähti huutaen rivouksia luotani "Jaakko left my place shouting obscenities [all the while]."

3) "What is that? Does it hurt? – This is an otoscope. It hurts slightly less than burning iron."
4) "Little children do not have a sense of humor."

The next deadline for Hungarian is drawing near. I also managed to finish the first draft of the section for adpositions in the guide to Uralic languages. As with the sections on direct objects and possession, I devised several sentences comparing the use of adpositions and humbly ask for feedback about them.
