English-Finnish translations for tongue

kieliKouluissamme äidinkieli on väistämättä virallinen kieli, ensimmäinen kieli. In our schools, it is inevitable that the mother tongue is the official language, the first language. Puhun tänään italiaa, joka on Italian valtion virallinen kieli mutta ei äidinkieleni. Today I am using the Italian language, which is the language of the State and not my mother tongue. Vaikka lausunkin tämän ehkä hieman kieli poskessa, voin hyvin kuvitella, että ilmiöllä saattaa olla jotakin yhteistä tämänhetkisen tilanteen kanssa. This may be something of a tongue-in-cheek comment, but I could well imagine that that effect might play a part.
