Tykätä vs Pitää vs Välittää ● What's The Difference?

I've received some messages recently asking me to clarify the difference between the Finnish words: tykätä, pitää and välittää. So that is what we will go over in this video lesson!

Summary:
Tykätä = to like (used more in puhekieli, go-to word when talking about liking something)
Pitää = to like (used more in kirjakieli, but not weird to say in spoken language either)
Välitää = to care about / to care for someone or something

"I" forms:
Minä/Mä tykkään __ = I like __
Mä tykkään Sidneystä = I like Sidney
Minä/Mä pidän __ = I like ___
Mä pidän jääkiekosta = I like hockey
Minä/Mä välitän ___ = I care about ____
Mä välitän luonnosta = I care about nature
