HIM is my favourite band! Finland is best for their folk metal really. They have quite a few groups that have taken a sorta of 'nu-metal' vibe after HIM (though I would argue against HIM being Nu-Metal). I know a few black metal bands from Finland but they don't sing in English. myGrain were a really good melodic death metal band from Finland. Hanoi Rocks aren't metal but they were big in the glam era and people seem to not know their cultural background. Finnish music is one of the reasons why I started learning the language.
I made a few paintings in the Marimekko style....and they sold like hotcakes on ebay.... Here was a group of animals in that style that I did keep....... I do belong to one online Finnish company and bought some of their berry powder recently. that wasn;t cheap. My grandparents were straight from Finland. I wish we had been able to keep everything they had.....but such is life. Say hello to the reindeer for me next time you are in Finland....
I thought that was a worldwide kinda thing? Somebody been watching too many of that bikies tv show on HBO. Sprechen und keine Aktion!
You're brave. I was told the only three Finno-Ugric languages are Finnish, Hungarian and Korean. I can't imagine having much success learning any of them although I've met Finns, Hungarians and Koreans who swear that there's nothing to it.
There's a Finnish crime series on Netflix I've only been to Riovaniemi (via Helsinki, of course, but only passing through the airport). They had a high-tech videogame company there (this was circa 2000/2001)
Can someone please help me understand why the noun "fear" is "pelko" yet when I looked up how to say "I feel fear" it's "tunnen pelon" Why does pelko turn into pelon? Is there a rule for why this sort of thing happens? I would really appreciate an explanation for this as I'm trying to learn Finnish on my own and have no one else to ask. Thanks in advance!!! <3 -Megan
I can't speak English really well, but maybe I can help. "I feel fear" is in Finnish "Tunnen pelkoa". "Tunnen pelon" is also correct, but no one really use it. People usually say: "Pelkään" which means "I fear"
