    It’s like â€Ee†in English. Finnish is little bit hard to explain, but I try. We usually add something after words so this Ii is very rarely just by itself. Like if I say “I am living in Ii†it’s in Finnish “Minä asun Iissäâ€

    Islanti (This is another sample of strange Finnish language, this is (already used :rolleyes:) Iceland, but somehow back in the days they want to give Finnish names for every main places in world. Like if you want to get max points from school essay, you have to write Canada with K, Kanada. That’s something that I don’t understand. :D

    How places are 'properly' spelled can be interesting. Shouldn't names always be the same? Of course, we don't all speak English, so I suppose changes could be considered 'translations'. Anglicised, or in Akusta's case, 'Finnish-ised'. Finnished? :rolleyes:

    And Canada was originally spelled Kanata. :)

    Hmm.. Finland (Finland)?
    I didn’t find it from search? Is it possible?
    But I did find Hyo’s posts of Finnish places. I have to be careful to not to use them. :)

    There are not so many F words in Finland, I think that fin word comes from Sweden.

    Yes, you'd think Finland would have been played by now. There's not many places ending in F, I suppose.

    I’m in volunteer sea patrol (search and rescue) and we had midsummer festival duty. It’s usually just floating around with 1300 HP boat and checking birds with binoculars. :)
