Finnish Phrases
A couple things to learn for people who plan to travel to Finland. Although I’m not sure why anyone would want to do that, if someone did actually decide to go there like on a dare or if they had very low self esteem, then these would be some words they might want to memorize.
(Y is pronounced as a U, J is pronounced Y, and ä is pronounced as whatever letter you feel like at the time)
- Moi. Hello.
- Mitä vittu? What the f—?
- Mita on sitä? What is that?
- Lutefisk? Hyvä! Fish that has been buried for a long time, dug up and then eaten? Great!
- Salmiakki? Hyvä! Black salt licorice “candy”? Sweet!

- Paljonko yksi kalja? How much for a beer?

I’m Finnish myself, and I gotta say that was horrible. There were about two correct sentences, the rest were wrong. Please don’t submit things like this if you certainly don’t know what you’re doing. Thanks.
P.S. Finland is, at least partially, a lovely country, so I don’t see why you wouldn’t come to Finland!
