Finland's results in the European election bucked a continent-wide trend of rising support for parties on the outer fringe of right-wing politics, with the Left Alliance and the National Coalition winning big at the expense of the nationalist Finns Party.

Leftist leader Li Andersson received more votes than any other candidate has ever received in a European election.

Hey finns, will you take me in again, like you did during Erasmus? Pretty please? I do like saunas, lakes, woods, Salmiakki and metal so I should fit right in, right?

Just one question before we let you in: how do you pronounce "sauna"?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

Like a normal person, so like it's written.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Excellent.

Sauna will be ready by six o'clock. You bring the beer, I have sausages.

Ok, you are welcome, just show this post on the border control and they give you Finnish passport

You're kind, since you didn't ask him to pronounce something like yö

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Or translate "kuusi palaa" into english.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Ha! My mother tongue uses unlauts.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Unlike Finnish.

Sauna Perkele.

Also did Erasmus there, but I’m not a fan of salmiakki so I hope that my swearing will compensate for that.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

You are allowed by law to replace salmiakki with koskenkorva.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Sure

Let’s do that

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Will you accept a fan of mämmi?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

No! Thats disgusting, go away.

I might have believed you until you went too far claiming you like Salmiakki.
