It's the Finnish Independence Day. In celebration can you tell me things you know about Finland? Maybe a story or a question about Finland?

You are like Sweden with less cultural influence within Europe and less gang crimes.

Helsinki has a good airport. A lot of people's surname is Kohonen. You applied to join NATO recently.

That's all I have.

Happy independence day !

So what I know is that your apparent stereotypes and what you're actually like are pretty different actually. Mainly the depression one.

Some racers and athletes I know from Finland: Häkkinen, Keke Rosberg, Salo, Bottas and Räikönnen. Marcus Grönholm, Timo and Tommi Mäkinen. Riku Kiri and Janne Virtanen.
Rallying is big in Finland. Racing in general.

About grammar: They got 15 cases!

FACT: The Moomins were created in Finland

SOMETHING I'D HEARD: I heard that your speeding/driving offence fines are based on your income. If that's true, it's fecking awesome.

INTERESTING LITTLE NUGGET: The 'Life in Norway' website often features articles about Finland, so much so that when my sister visited Finland, she planned most of her trips based on their articles. BTW, she loved it.

Tiedän suomen kielen, ja olen myös tietoinen siitä, että Suomi on maailman onnellisin maa. En ole varma, onko se edelleen totta? Mutta olen aina halunnut vierailla ja nähdä maisemat. Hyvää itsenäisyyspäivää!

No teoriassa Suomi on onnellisin maa mutta juuri valtaan nousseet poroporvarit pilaavat sen parin vuoden sisään. Ovat jo päässeet "hyvään" alkuun

I’ve heard your school system is fantastic. I’ve also heard you have great libraries.

No, the school system is not good at all. It used to be, but Sipilä's government ruined it. As for libraries, yeah they're good

That question is out of the blue. Today our weekly paper features an article on Architect Alvar Aalto as part of a film series
