I compare the phonological systems of Japanese language and Finnishlanguage and clarify differences. Second I discuss which finnish syllable can be used for each Japanese syllable from the material I collected in teaching Japanese to Finnish students. This research demonstrates that Finnish native speakers have the most difficulty in finding a similar sound in their own systems for voiced vowels. Although some Japanese palatalized consonants can be replaced by the Finnish vowels o and y. Even the geminaata and long vowels in Japanese and Finnish are not, exarrhly the same.
