@GossiTheDog Oh that won’t do it. I used to have recurring nightmares of armed gangs hunting me. Now? #vi
Always coming back. Never tiring. Never dying.
Bit like that guy from the #Sisu film actually. I’m guessing that’s where the #Finnish swear word ‘vittu’ comes from. A vi that opened from a teletype. It would just sit there, undead, following you, patiently, until your last breath.
"#Finland is again ranked the #happiest country in the world. The #US falls to its lowest-ever position"
None of this is surprising nor in doubt
I mainly post this to note that the #AP thinks the exemplary image of #Finnish #happiness consists of running around in your swimwear on a grey and gloomy day
I want to make a joke... but maybe that's really the secret? (/s)
@Free_Press big difference with that orange-thing in #USA that demanded personal gratitude for not doing anything and the #Finnish #President #Stubb who thought it was a honor that President of #Ukraine #Zelensky made a visit to his country.
I wonder how come #Finland has more allies than USA nowadays.
#askfedi Kjenner eg nokon som kan #finsk? Eg lurer på kva Pentti Rasinkangas syng saman med JPP i songen "Vincent van Gogh". Det er ein bra song.
Do I know anyone who knows #Finnish? I'd like to know what Pentti Rasinkangas sings with the string band JPP in the song "Vincent van Gogh". It's a good song.
”Ryssiä”
This is a finnish slang verb for failing, to fuck it up.
It literally translates: ”to Russian it”

Who do you want covering your back when you bonk vatniks, thrash MAGAts, fight Russians, support Ukrainians and a free and prosperous Europe?
Well the #Finnish snipers and the #MoominFellas, of course!

I need your help my friends
I’ve been toying with the idea of including #finnish (maybe even Greek & Egyptian too?) mythology into my #storytelling. We do have a vast #mythology , even tho it’s mostly hidden & hard to dig, and long relationship with natural world.
At this moment I would accompany myths with #fineart & keep my classics more… human centered (maybe the other ancient myths in there?).
Is this something you would find interesting?
#Heavysaurus is a #Finnish #band that performs for #children. I was really surprised when I saw that it performed in Britain's Got Talent show. #torille #suomimastodon #finland #music #greatbritain #uk #dinosaurs #britainsgottalent
#Finnish #President Alexander Stubb talks about the #war in #ukraine #russia #UkraineWar #SlavaUkraini Wise words I think. #finland #eu #usa
#Sweden suspects #sabotage after new undersea cable damage
News comes following string of cases of damaged #undersea infrastructure in region, with some connecting incidents to #hybrid attacks & Russia’s shadow fleet
#Finnish telecom operator #Cinia described the damage as minor & said it did not impact the #cable's functionality. According to the Finnish media, this is the third time the cable has been damaged in a short span of time

#Finnish is such a beautiful and logical language with not one single silly thing about it. For example, the sentences and its reply "I wonder if you would need a bit water?" "Yes, you need water." are as follows:
"Tarvitsettekohan te vähän vettä." "Kyllä te vettä tarvitsette."
Once you run it through the dialect filter, it becomes:
"Tarttettekohan te vähä vettä." "Juu vettä te tarttette."
And once you also do it very fast, it becomes the remarkable rapid fire all in one go: "Tarttettekotevettä? Vettätetarttette."
A perfect language, so easy to pick up and make out!

Introduction time
Hi I'm Saikku, a queer furry artist from Finland.
I love videogames and movies and other fictional media and my life is a cycle of suffering from one obsession after another. I draw a bunch of fan art but also my original characters, human and anthro alike. I'm very fickle about what I draw so be prepared if you follow me for One Specific Thing because I might not make art for that thing until I circle back to it years later
I also love animals and especially dogs and I have one of my own, a Tibetan spaniel called Nala. She's the best girl
