One of my favorite blogs on learning Finnish is called Random Finnish Lesson. Hanna from Random Finnish lesson is doing a blog series on other Finnish teachers who run their own small businesses, and I'm honored to be a guest blogger there this week. Click here to read it!

The verb jankata means "to say the same thing over and over in an insistant manner": 

Aina hän jankkaa sitä samaa asiaa!
= She's always saying the same thing!

Kärhämä is a folk music group that sings about the etymologies or origins of Finnish words. Here's their version of the origin of jankata, based on the brand new research article "Suomen Jankata" by Jeongdo Kim (2020), with subtitles in English!

"Stubbornly insisting, arguing, 
Harping on the same old barking
Yakking like a false sonata
​That’s the tone of the verb jankata!"
