I wasn't going to comment on your supposed typo, but decided we were on friendly enough terms to do so. I'm glad I did, because you gave me an interesting lesson in British English. Thanks. The idiom makes sense & is obviously useful. Another Britishism I wish Americans would adopt is the difference between in the hospital & in hospital. I use it, but it's lost on my fellow Americans. Saw a Brit once correct an American's use of "math" clueless that he was speaking correct American English. ㋡
The corresponding English idiom is "there is more than one way to skin a cat", but Tale got it wrong even in Finnish and mixed two idioms or something similar.
I think maybe he was going for the Finnish idiom "konstit on monet sano akka kun kissalla pöytää pyyhki" which roughly translated means "'There is more than one way to do things', said an old lady, while wiping the table with a cat".
Poor Matleena. And why does Ida keep forgiving Janne? Heidi, now Matleena...he's not just going to stop, probably. I like him from this side of the TV, but if I were dating him, I'd be furious.
It was cute watching Elias and Lari together on that couch. On another note, it looked a little weird when Ida declined having that beer, I hope she doesn't have to go back to the hospital for anorexia.
Which in fact is much funnier than our expression in English about more than way to skin a cat (I always feel a bit sick when I hear it, or indeed say it!) The old lady's wise aphorism about wiping tables with cats and other useful things is actually very funny. A good riposte to all those who complain in the comments here that the Finns are too solemn and unexpressive.
Wasn't Ida's mom killed by Isabella? Was she drunk when she was driving? Because that could explain why Ida doesn't like the idea of her friends drinking alcohol...
This is actually an unfamiliar proverb to me too, but searching google I found that there is an old Finnish proverb "There are many ways to do things, said old woman when wiping a table with a cat. Change is refreshing said cat when wiping a table with the old woman". In this case I think it's mixed with proverb "start from a clean table" = have a fresh start. I'm not sure why they're mixed tho.. does it mean that there are many ways to start anew? That's all I can come up with :DD
I didn't have space to say that it was the American expat Doug in the soap Hollyoaks who was corrected by some ninny who acted as though he were illiterate, thereby unknowingly making herself look ridiculous. Doug, of course, was too polite to say anything. Most Brits probably know that Americans say "math" instead of "maths." Once I discovered how Brits pronounce "Leicester Square," I realized that if Niagara Falls were in the UK, it would be pronounced Niffles. Kidding, I like British English.
Yes! 1:43 - 1:45. I can't tell whether Elias noticed. Of course, the actor knew they weren't going to. Maybe if they were lovers, Janne would stop being mean to Tale. Anyway, Janne & Tal'e being bisexual, and Janne's cheating on Ida seems too risqué for Secret Lives.
wow so many people are so hateful towards matleena because of this it was her first time drinking and she made a mistake shouldnt she be forgiven by now?
Hopefully not, she did eat pizza few episodes back so I hope she's still in the right track :) And said that she needs to gain more weight all the time until she reaches the goal weight or they'll force her back to the hospital...
When the three guys were sitting in the chair, I couldn't help noticing how good Tale and Janne looked together. My mind doesn't usually go there, because all three of the characters are straight, and Janne is with Ida, but Tale and Janne really did look like a better match than Janne and Ida. Why is that? Is it just me?
I do both. You don't? I liked your typo: "since the writers made such a meal of her not drinking." You meant deal, but were thinking about her being anorexic. The other day, writing about George W on CZcams, I accidentally typed "weapons of mass deception" because there were no weapons of mass destruction. Fortunately, I caught it before clicking Post.
The boys look so cute! I am loving Elias' hair.
"Everybody hates me." yeah, Tale, pretty much.
This is nice of you uploading the video of elias story thank you...!!! :)
yup! glad Ida is slowly moving on from her sickness!
Love this program...thanks

Hi! I'm from Brazil and I'm loving the story... waiting for part 127!!!

thanks for all this vid im waiting for the next.... :)

so nice an episode! thanks again! :-)
Love this show
thanks missfin xx cute elias always close to his man :) he loves to be so close all the time Awwww and who wouldn't want to be :)
It was cute watching Elias and Lari together on that couch. On another note, it looked a little weird when Ida declined having that beer, I hope she doesn't have to go back to the hospital for anorexia.
Thanks for the upload Missfinlandia! Any chance you or someone else here watching has a video clip of what happened with Matleena and Janne?
Thanks for those sayings, I didn't know them. No problem :)
That's basically what it means, but Tale didn't actually get the saying right in Finnish, that was why the others laughed when he said that
If you look in the description she says it will more than likely be posted on Tuesday.
This was good, thankx!
LOL! You're good at speculating.

Matleena got really drunk and missed Janne
I think it's weird that so many people asked why everyone hates Matleena.
Doesn't anyone read the comments before posting?

wow so many people are so hateful towards matleena because of this
it was her first time drinking and she made a mistake
shouldnt she be forgiven by now?
Can I also ask what "wipe the table with a new cat" means? Get a fresh start would be my guess.
we don't have to worry about ida, do we? :0
oh Janne - he is to damn cute
Hopefully not, she did eat pizza few episodes back so I hope she's still in the right track :) And said that she needs to gain more weight all the time until she reaches the goal weight or they'll force her back to the hospital...

she got drunk at a party and made out with Janne. Ida forgave him, but not her.
and Roni and Tale feel like she kinda played with both of them :S
I do both. You don't?
