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.
Yes, I love it how some sayings are so similar or even identical in different languages! Well spotted!
Hyvää Varpu!!!
Kiitos!! 🧡🧡🧡
I love these! Kiitos!
Awww, you are so sweet. Thank you so much❣️🇫🇮
Kiitos for the sayings - for # 6 we would often say “that’s the pot calling the kettle ‘black’ ”
Exactly 😊 Thank you for watching!
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
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!
I'm so happy to hear that, yay. You are correct, it is also can mean that, what goes around, comes around!
Great jop my teacher ...paljon kiitos 🙂
Kiitos so so much!
Thank you
#6 is a common saying in English too... the pot calling the kettle black.
Great sayings and explanations. 😄
Thank you
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.
Thank you for the comment.
Kiitos sydämelliset, olen iloinen nähdesani sinut :)! Näkemiin.

I don’t know which one is my favorite, but I’m going to start using “pata kattillaa soimaa, musta kylki kummallamkin” more whenever someone tries to blame me for something 😂👍🏾

Interesting, #1 translates exactly from Russian language as well. I wonder if at some point in history they adopted each other saying. Oh, and so does #4
Thank you for commenting!
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")
Thank you for commenting! 🧡🇫🇮
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.
Kiitti!
