Thank you so much for the help already!

Not knowing the whole context, I'll take a shot at translating this. "Technically you can with a regular camera (not sure about the term pokkari). With a professional (freely translated jarjestelmakamera) or video camera it's best to check at the ticket office, so that the sturdy security officer doesn't take it and confiscate the camera. There will be a sign by the ticket office or entrance that will let you know if all photography is prohibited."

I'm guessing this refers to a concert. To translate it freely to make the point.. You can bring a regular flash camera but not a professional one or a video camera, but to check with the ticket agent/agency when buying your tickets if you can bring one with you. Also, there will be signs posted whether or not you can take pictures at the venue.

I hope this helps. If someone has better terms for my translation, feel free to fix them.

Thanks, it's basically what I understood as well, just wanted to make sure if I understood the same way as someone better in Finnish as me

And yes, it's about taking photographs in one club at concerts. It seems I might have some problems with my camera...

Do you have just a regular digital camera? If so, I wouldn't see it a problem, but I'd still check with the ticket agency or the venue itself. The "jarjestelmakamera" is like a professional camera with interchangeable lenses, etc. Also specific video cameras are not permitted. With today's technology, I don't know if they allow digital cameras that can capture video as well.

No it's not a regular digital camera. I'm using one with changeable lenses and that makes it professional. But I'll check all the stuff with the venue and maybe I can work out an agreement with them or something.

no hei

I have a question...well when we use mikä & when we use mitä ?:S

mitä may also be "how"

They can both mean what. Mitä is the partative form which would be used for non-countable stuff, mitä is the nominative form used for discrete objects. So if you were to ask what was in a bowl of puuro you would say "Mitä tämä on?" If you were asking about the spoon next to the bowl you would say "Mikä tämä on?"

joten voin käyttää: mikä on suomen rahayksikkö on? tai, mikä on suomen pääkaupunki? koska he ovat "countble"...
ja mitä: mitä kieltä suomessa puhutaan? koska kieli on "non-countable"
kiitos paljon
