Finnish

Finnish, also known as Suomi, is a language spoken in Finland, and it’s so confusing that even Finnish people struggle to speak it correctly.

The Finnish language is renowned for its unusual pronunciation, where double vowels are pronounced as a single letter and single vowels are pronounced as double letters. It’s basically as if they said, “Let’s confuse everyone by doing the opposite of what every other language does.”

If you thought learning Spanish was hard, wait until you try to learn Finnish. It’s like trying to unravel a box of tangled Christmas lights while blindfolded.

Finnish vocabulary is a thing of its own. For instance, “Vappu” stands for the first of May when Finnish people celebrate spring by drinking tons of alcohol (surprise, surprise), and “kalsarikännit” is a concept just as difficult to explain as it is to pronounce, which translates to “getting drunk alone at home in your underwear.”

Finnish humor is also quite unique as the Finns tend to make jokes about relatable, depressing things such as long winters, loneliness, and the frightening expense of alcohol. But who can blame them? It’s like they are winter soldiers trapped behind cranberry juice - a proverb that only makes sense in Finnish.

In conclusion, Finnish is a wonderful and entertaining language that we should all make an effort to learn (even though you’ll probably never pronounce anything correctly). But hey, at least you can impress your friends by telling them you know what “kalsarikännit” means. Cheers to that!
