They speak funny hybrid language, borrowing words from both languages and with their funny accent.

Only things finland's swedes are perfect is sailing and playing handbållen.

Finno-Swedes speak better Swedish than most Swedo-Swedes IMO. At least better than my cousins from Gothenburg who have a really annoying accent

I think Santa lives in a parallel universe.

Well that was a joke.. wasn't meant to be in serious tone . It's just friendly bashing we like to do. Just like you guys like to bash us for the scandal in Lahti ski WC, but it means nothing really.. cause we all know you're using doping even more than we ever did.

Anyway, yeah, sure they speak good swedish, and good finnish too. But they do have a funny hybrid language, that no one can understand!

Hmmm... what binary decision was it that allows Santa to exist in that universe, but not in ours?

We need a special "Pekka-sarcasm" -smiley...

I know you were joking, but I don't agree that no one understands them. I mean, I have no problems understanding them. I guess they drop the hybrid words when speaking to Swedes/Norrbaggar?

[Pekka]

No we don't, it's your own fault you can't get a hold of me and to know if I mean something or not .

Actually that's my destiny, even my friends don't know in real life when I do it. I have my own sense of humor and not everyone finds it funny. But that's ok, I think they just don't have a sense of humor themselves.

[Pekka]

No, I mean when they speak to each other. It's 50% finnish and 50% swedish . They switch to other language like in every other word or so.

[Gangerolf]

And that Finnish skiers cheat doesn't mean that other skiers cheat.

Sorry, the Russians have been cheating too. And that Mühlegg guy.

The Norwegians? Nope.

[Meticulous Man]

Yep, that hybrid language sounds funny to a Finn. I don't think it's so hard to understand though. My ad hoc theory is that the logic behind it goes like this...

1. a new slang word appears in the Finnish language, for example "heittää", "to say (something unexpected)", originally meaning "to throw"

2. a bilingual Swedish speaker can't come up with a Swedish equivalent to "heittää"

3. voilà: "...och sen heittä han att det inte blah blah..."

[zapnic]

hah

HAH!! they will be all be caught they how's laughing

[Gangerolf]

zapnic, won't happen. I have blind faith in our athletes.
If something like what happened with the Finnish team happened here it would be a national crisis worse than April 9 1940 and the bubonic plague. It would lead to total anarchy

[zapnic]

well

clean Norwegian sportsman ??

Pekka has good sense of humour, atleast I find his posts funny, to me the humour is obvious from his posts. I guess it's not obvious to everyone It's your loss if you don't get him.

Exactly! Don't you think the average sports fan here had the exact same thoughts? The professional athletes are not in it for the health or fun, but for the position, and their living too, sometimes it's the same thing. They are willing to use just enough to not get caught.
