    Funny that 2 of these sayings sound familiar to me, from different languages:
    Niin metsä vastaa, kuin sinne huudetaan - saksaksi: Wie man in den Wald hineinruft, so schallt es heraus (word for word: Kuin metsään huutaa, näin raikuu ulos)
    Pata kattilaa soimaa, musta kylki kummallakin - puolaksi: Przyganiał kocioł garnkowi (word for word: Soimasi pata kattilaa), here's just the fist part of the sentence, but the meaning is the same.

    Kiitos for the sayings - for # 6 we would often say “that’s the pot calling the kettle ‘black’ ”

      I thought the same thing ! It must be an expression that survived when Finnish, or other Nordic people, came to the U.S. That's really cool

  • @federicorizzi4189
    @federicorizzi4189 3 года назад +8

    Moi Varpu! My favourite saying is definitely #4 "Niin metsä vastaa kuin sinne huudetaan", but I always interpreted it as something you get back by how you do it, rather than speaking badly on someone, my bad! :D
    Great to see your shiny smile on YT, subscription done! Good luck and happy new year!

    The sayings have their equivalents in English and other languages. I will be going to FInland later in the year and the language looks daunting. But I will learn some phrases our of respect for those I have to interact with and hope that they will forgive me mangling the words. A friend of mine who lived for 2 years in Finland told me "When you see the language, you know why they don't talk that much". I am sure he is wrong.

    7. "Ei auta itku markkinoilla" on oikeastaan suomalaiskansallinen vastine muinaisten roomalaisten caveat emptor -periaatteelle: tehty kauppa on ostajan vastuulla eikä siitä voi valittaa (kirjaimellisesti "Ostaja varokoon")

    The greatest Finnish proverb: “Jos ei viina, terva ja sauna auta, niin tauti on kuolemaksi.” If liquor, tar, and sauna will not help, the disease is fatal.
