Puhutteko suomea? Tom Send a noteboard - 17/10/2010 02:00:07 AM
Most people are taciturn if you don't speak their language. Even Finns speak more if you speak Finnish.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Don't much like vodka (1-2), don't own a knife (3), still alive (4) and can't do tango (5) *NM* Lordling - 16/10/2010 11:38:55 AM 277 Views
Not owning a knife could be counted as a suicide waiting to happen. *NM* Insolitus - 16/10/2010 12:06:10 PM 231 Views

That's sort of weird really. I've had a knife since I was 6 Bergioyn - 16/10/2010 10:12:02 PM 512 Views
I can't come up with any reason to own a knife that doesn't sound totally pretentious Lordling - 17/10/2010 02:41:13 PM 526 Views

That's quite an odd assumption. *NM* Insolitus - 17/10/2010 04:01:01 PM 258 Views
I know, now that I think about it. *NM* Bergioyn - 17/10/2010 04:40:31 PM 219 Views
You forgot going to saunas and then rolling naked in the snow. *NM* Tim - 16/10/2010 12:25:02 PM 221 Views
That's just something they do when the other stuff is all taken. *NM* jh - 16/10/2010 04:39:56 PM 233 Views
Isn't it "going to saunaissa" and haven't we had this discussion before? *NM* Tom - 17/10/2010 02:03:22 AM 203 Views
"Saunissa" means "in saunas". "To saunas" would be illative pl "saunahin" or allative pl "saunille". Tim - 17/10/2010 09:47:56 AM 626 Views
Sorry, it's not like that Lordling - 17/10/2010 02:49:27 PM 546 Views
Oooh...those sound like fun! Tom - 17/10/2010 02:01:39 AM 521 Views
How do you know you've found an extroverted Finn? Tim - 16/10/2010 12:26:36 PM 499 Views
I suspect the Finns will be very loud very soon. Joel - 16/10/2010 02:24:18 PM 699 Views
Well, we have a saying that goes: "If you don't have anything good to say, be quiet." Bergioyn - 16/10/2010 10:02:10 PM 473 Views
Was I the only one who immediately thought you were referencing Wheel of Time? everynametaken - 17/10/2010 01:13:11 AM 457 Views
Not just you, no. *NM* Gher - 18/10/2010 06:11:26 AM 251 Views
