So I just came across the most amazing thing ever

FINNGLISH-

now, I know that sounds like a fever dream,  but it excists.

Basically Finnglish was a language created by le Finnish-American Immigrants from the 1800s (SAIN comfirmation) It is a combination of Finnish and English, and here are some basic words (got this off wikipedia)

today, the language is at the point of death, with only 6,000 Speakers in Midwestern USA. (of course)

English Fingelska Modern Finnish
bed peti vuode
blanket plänketti huopa
kitchen kyökki/kitsi keittiö
onion lööki sipuli
telephone telefooni puhelin
telegram telekrammi sähke
hay barn heinä baana heinälato
hospital hospitaali sairaala
county kaunti maakunta
farm farmi maatalo
room ruuma huone
potato potaatti peruna
 
towel hantuuki pyyhe





 




 

 oh yeah, and also I did some shopping on 3 Nordic Stores ( Finnware, Hemsjöld and  Ramussen's) My items will appear soon, and maybe I can do like a haul thingy
