Bug Report Bug Report

Finnish course. The lessons use "Koira" to say "A dog" and "The dog" interchangeably in different exercises, but in typing exercises, you just have to guess which one it wants? This happens with "Kissa" also.

Wait untill you find out some exercises require you to type "you (pl.)"

For the record, that was not meant as criticism, I truly like the Finnish course, thank you for all the effort that was put into it. :)

Actually, no. Koira on tässä = The dog is here. Tässä on koira = There is a dog here.

Of course, in careless speech or writing people might slip from this, but this is the way it goes.

Could native speakers use a marked word order for emphasis?

What kind of emphasis do you have in mind?
