I am head-over-heels in love with Finnish culture. I got my Suomi tennis hat today. It has an outline map of Finland under the bill. The finnish flag is draped all around it. I want a male Saami cap next, and a license plate border that says "Sisu!"

I want dictionaries, glossaries, and course books, CDs from Hedningarna, Riistetyt, Lordi, Varttina, ja Meinskuoro Huutajat.

I want to be friends with at least one actual Finnish national, here or wherever. I want to have conversations over Salmiakki and Finlandia, Koskenkorva and mooseburgers.


PLEASE IF YOU SPEAK FINNISH BE MY FRIEND.

Anteeksi, puhun suomea? love

ps: if you know anyone who is finnish, SG or regular member, please tell them I'm interested in instant immersion.

This reminds me a bit of Stephen Colbert's search for a new black friend, except finnish people are very rarely black.

I'm not entirely sure how healthy obsessing on all things finnish is, but I wish you all the best for your adventures with Koskenkorva and Finlandia. smile

Also, as a finnish person, here are some suggestions on good finnish bands:

http://www.paavoharju.com/
http://www.ifsociety.com/echo/records.html

Hyv kes!

Oh I'm obsessing because it's the Finno-Ugric language I've decided upon learning.


Then you made a good choice, as finnish really is a rather lovely language (admitted, I'm a bit biased). Not exactly easy to learn ofcourse, but shouldn't be too daunting for a motivated linguist. And with enough Koskenkorva, it becomes distinctly easier to speak finnish. smile


I choose a language based on it's native culture, not its export culture.


Yeah, that's why I tried to choose some bands that might represent finnish culture and the different aspects of it a bit better than Lordi or Hedningarna (who are originally from Sweden I believe). And Paavoharju, Kuusumun Profeetta and (even) Rytmihiri are all very interesting even from a purely lyrical viewpoint, when you get down to it. Some excellent and interesting use of the finnish language there.

I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject of linguistics or language (despite having read a couple of basic introductions on the subject), but on finnish culture I can offer a few tips, opinions and recommendations if needed. smile
