Collection of Finnish


Here we have some chosen bits of the Finnish culture legacy. This will might be updated every now and then. Please be so good!

On ilmoja pidelly! – It has been keeping the airs!

This is an excellent conversation starter in Finnish. We owe a thank for this wonderful translation to a friend, who is named after a very common money spitting machine in Finland.

Älä hättäile, istu mättäille. – Don’t rush, sit on the tussocks.

This translation is not provided by anyone named after an artificial being, but by an ACTUAL MACHINE! Can you believe it? The interface-screen even told that the literal meaning doesn’t work in English. The site development team doesn’t really understand how it doesn’t work, but maybe it has something to do with the word “tussocks”. This was the first time for us to bumb into that sentence.
