- Country or region Finland
"puhekieli" has a lot of shorten words and influences from other languages. "Kirjakieli" is more conservative and doesn't have those and is generally far less irritating to listen
- Country or region Finland
Also, puhekieli varies depending on where you are. For example, eastern Finnish dialects are very different from those in south-western Finland. You can say the word "minä" (I or me) in many different ways, depending on what your local dialect is. like "mä", "mää" tai "mie".
- Country or region Finland
In a global perspective, all Finnish people understands each other, maybe excluding some individual words that have dual meaning in the local dialect.
So mainly they are not that different.
