I'm just wondering if there are any people from Finland in this forum, or are you all american or from somewhere over the ocean..? and yes, i am Finnish. ^___^

*wants to know*

I think Esuteru is Finnish.

No im not, but you're right, +70% are US, the other +20% from english speaking countires... ie South Africa, UK, Austalia, Canada, NZ, etc

And a small % of Europeans & Asians, Im from Germany, but my finnish is ... not very good to say the least
But then again, Im the only german as far as I know, some ppl speak german here, but arn't german so... Naja.

Considering that you've been here for nearly a year, you havn't posted much have you. A quiet Finn

I know there is a Norwegian and a Swede here. I'm 1/8 Finnish by blood, but that's it.

Yeah, i know.. it's just boring to read and write everything in english. My dictionary is neither so good.. but I'll try to write more.

Maybe you could teach us a few words of Finnish?

Um...

I know that two of the tracks on the Final Fantasy N Generation CD are sung in Saami, which is I guess a dialect of finnish.

But I think I'm mostly German...my last name is German, at least.

I'm 1/4 Norwegian by blood

I'm 1/8 Swedish and some small part as well of Danish. Ok, maybe that doesn't belong here. Long live Finland. (My great grandmother came from there.)

I'm a kiwi... but I kinda wish I were Finnish. Does that count?

Seriously, though - you Fins rock! Why was I born over in the Pacific (probably because I love NZ so much...)

It's okay. ^__^ Isn't kiwi a bird and also a fruit? I want to say that i live in Kiwiland~

Hello?

How are you?

God bless you?

Hello = Hei

How are you? = Mitä kuuluu?

God bless you = Siunausta (but more literally "Jumala siunatkoon sinua")

Finnish is a really, really difficult language.. I'm always wondering how can people be able to speak it.

I'm not Finnish but I know at least one other Finn that posts on an Anime
forum,back on the Anime Cafe Forum.

My maternal grandfather's maternal grandparents were both born in
Prussia.At least Prussia is the country of birth on the 1880 census.

I'm Heinz 57... so I guess that makes me ketchup.... No really... I'm related to the REAL Sherlock Holmes... the queen of England.... and a whole bunch of other people.... and yet I'm still a plain common person, no title or anything. Unless of course your my friend Jared and say..."Buongiorno, Principessa!" No he's not Italian... just loves to qoute the movie Life is Beautiful. He says it reminds him of me.... ^.^

Cool Finnish!!! Never thought I'd meet a Finnish person.... well I've kinda met a Finnish person.... So Nifty!!!

Yep - a kiwi is a flightless, brown bird that eats worms etc. and has it's nostrils on the end of it's beak and kiwifruit are brown furry fruit (only furry on the outside) that are green on the inside. Similar to chinese gooseberries, I've been told. Unfortunately, I don't like them very much . However, there's another variety of the fruit called 'Zespri' or something, I think - they're kiwifruit, except without the hair, they're golden inside and don't have the same slight aftertaste. Ha - that's enough about NZ - this is a Finnish thread!

Wooo - that's awesome. Now I know how to write 'God Bless' to people in Finnish.... .

Siunausta! - and thank you for sharing some finnish words. Would I be able to ask how to say 'thank you' in Finnish?

These things are going a little kinda off-topic.. but it doesn't matter.

Sure. Thank you = Kiitos.
