In Finland We Have This Thing Called...Lohikäärme
The Finnish language is filled with these funny and strange words. A good enough reason to get your groove on and open your books. Or get an account for DuoLingo.An equally valid theory to the one stating Finland doesn’t actually exist is that dragons were actually dinosaurs. We are still waiting for this one to be settled.
Dragons were able to breathe fire, which could come in handy on those long cold winter nights. Too bad the closest mythology to have fire breathing dragons in them is the Icelandic. And they already have the geothermal pools. What else do they need, winners of Eurovision Song Contest and a great Ice-hockey team?
Another cool animal name, that was made up by Mikael Agricola in the 16th century is jalopeura, which is a word for lion, but means “noble deer”
Phew, I’m getting tired of all this linguistics, maybe I just should take a rest and sit down on a nearby bench, or as we call it, joukkoistuin “group seat”

I know many of you have been waiting for this like a rising moon (kuin kuuta nousevaa) The full moon is in about a week, just FYI. And some have expressed a bit of frustration towards us for not putting this out sooner. In case you want to know, we had some issues with the editing process, but it is sorted now =) The etymology of this word is quite fascinating. It stems back to Perkwunos which ...

Most Finns have at some point in their life gotten drunk on this legendary type of alcohol. Or at least tried it. Maybe liked it, probably not. It’s one of those things you as a foreigner definitely will be expected to consume, if someone brings out a jug (or two) of it. Now, it is not the worst tasting, or most dangerous home made booze we Finns make. We also have these things called sahti and...

One of the most fun sports we played in school was always Finnish baseball, or boboll as we called it in my neck of the woods. It was a clear sign of spring, which meant that summer vacation was just around the corner. Playing pesäpallo was also unique in the way that it was one of the few sports girls and boys played together. In addition to the three step power move, you can also fake a bat o...

It’s been surprisingly warm in Finland for surprisingly many days. Even though many think it’s awesome, it puts stress on some people and animals, especially since our houses are built to hold heat IN. Air-conditioning is a thing we mostly see in movies… The best thing to say to a Finn complaining over the heat is “Remember this feeling in about 3-4 weeks (tops) when it turns slushy and cold ag...

Today, Sunday, is the day that a lot of people suffer from krapula, a hangover, after being out partying for one or several days. Many people also suffer from a morkkis, a “moralic hangover” due to things they have done, while being intoxicated. Me on the other hand, rarely suffer from any krapula, but today I have a huge morkkis. Actually I have had this morkkis for a while, as we haven’t post...

Tuppi literally means sheath, case or scabbard. But today we are not literal, as you can see stated in this video. Nevertheless, being silent and introspective is a high valued feat in this area of the world. There are countless examples of this in interviews of athletes, too many to even start listing. Mostly expressed with a deep rallienglanti-accent or pure Finnish. One of my favourites is w...
In Finland We Have This Thing Called...Peninkulma
zhlédnutí 2,7KPřed 4 lety
First things first. Since the 1600’s when Sweden’s impact on Finland grew, peninkulma has become to mean a “mil” (10km) Some people still use “skogsmil” (forest mile) or “rest” to mean 5km as that is about the distance a person can walk in the forest without breaks. Kinda reminds me of the measure “poronkusema” that we talked about in a previous video. The exact spelling of peninkulma varies a ...

Many countries have their own ancient stories of gods, creation, people and nature, so Kalevala is not unique in that sense. It is unique though in the way how it was written, or rather composed.

We Finns are a proud people. And for good reason. For centuries we have fought off all kinds of invaders, from near and far, from east and west.

Drop-free January or as we call it “Tipaton Tammikuu” is a Finnish tradition. Every year thousands of Finns promise not to drink any alcohol during the month of January.

While this is understandable, it i...

    considering the crazy regional dialects that exist across Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England, not to mention in the former colonies of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the USA, this didn't actually come across as difficult to understand at all.
