Evil, evil Finland

Well, many nimes, like Keijo, Seija, etc... are pronounced with two j's. Often when 'j' appears after 'i', it is pronounced as a double-j. The 'vv' is much rarer, and many dialects don't have it all. In some parts of Finland, though, words like 'kauan' are pronounced 'ka(u)vvan'. And when words merge together, like 'kuvvaan (kun vain)' etc. the double-v appears.

This is great. Lets all us finns come here and say something stupid!

Well...I think I'll skip that.

And, I'm interested about one thing: how many of you non-finns who have written here have ever visited Finland? Just for curiosity...

[Buck Birdseed]

I have.

You know, it was only a hair's breadth on the scales of chance that stopped this thread from being "Evil, evil Sweden". I've borne a grudge against the Swedes ever since I made the mistake of watching an Ingmar Bergman film. Sadistic bastards.

It's true. The film was "The silence", and I spent two hours feeling my very life being sucked out through my eyeballs. 60 minutes in I was contemplating gnawing off one of my fingers in a bid to break the tedium.

Were you forced to watch it so that you had to either watch the film or be mutilated by a dull pencil-sharpener's blade?

[Admiral]

Out of curiosity...

No. I was forced to watch it in a misguided attempt to get into an arty hippychick's knickers. In retrospect, I'd have chosen the pencil-sharpener.

Most of course... people who spam here propably like all sort of fun things you can do with computers..
Well, i've been here every now and then before, but never had any reason to actually register or spam - untill now.

I have been to North Finland.

Are you guys sad to see the mark go?

Bugs, you'll be happy to know that Finnish films are boring, gloomy, and about ppl with alcohol problems. That is if they're aware that drinking all day/night is a problem. Some Finns in here probably fall into that category.

I wonder who are you referring to...

[Kristalli]

drinking finns??

Ok...now, before anyone starts to claim that the finns drink too much alcohol...

Have been watching quite a funny series from a finnish tv-channel. It tells a story about young british tourists who do nothing else but. And its quite sad to watch it. Its never like that in Finland!

And its NOT a finnish program. Had to add it.

And i say this because if you want to talk about a people who drinks too much, maybe we should start a new thread.

Thats all folks.
