Minorkos posted:don't worry, a couple of those forms are too weird to be used in normal language it's a really dumb comparison, it's not like it's any easier to express the same things in any other languages. in for example Germanic languages instead of suffixes you'd just have to use a shitload of prepositions and other crap, which can be even more complicated than Finnish suffixes

Oberleutnant posted:is this true elsewhere in scandinavia? In Sweden they're just in complete denial about their alcoholism and claim that everyone's on the straight and narrow or just has the odd tipple. Then you come across the street which is literally all pubs and ask, "what's that for then?". "Tourists. All for tourists." In Denmark they buy their booze on credit since they spent it all on a couch that cost more than a car. You've seen the finland.jpg post.

How it works is because the air is so dry, its quite hard to transfer the heat in to your body. If it had normal humidity you'd just boil. There is some moisture though and combined with the insane heat in there your extremities start to cook

unless the temperature meters lied to me, i've been in a sauna up to around 100 degrees celsius. that russian guy totally hosed up. if it gets too hot, you get out wouldn't try dipping into a frozen lake in-between löyly again, though. that poo poo was crazy

The (mostly necessary) extended explanations of the otherwise nigh-inscrutable translations of Fingerpori in the BSS newspaper comics thread taught me that Finnish is a ridiculously weird language where words are so similar and context-dependent that I'd be terrified to to even attempt to say something ostensibly safe as "hello" in Finnish for fear that it would be misinterpreted as some horror like "I gargle your uncle's piss."

like "terve" means literally "healthy" so yeah someone who thinks he's the funniest guy in the room might playfully presume that you're introducing yourself as a healthy person and answer back "sairas" ("sick") . that's actually a really stale joke that my 6th grade teacher really loved.

Same sort of play on words in this classic "terve perse rupia täynnä". Communication is really pretty simply in Finnish, you can say whatever you want as long as you only talk to your friends. You can make friends by drinking a whole lot of alcohol.
