    Props for doing the Finnish names! Here's my ranking so far:
    1. Metsänvartija - Perfect!
    2. Olavinlinna - Pretty good, just keep the emphasis in the beginning!
    3. Savo - very good, just keep the first vowel short.
    4. Suomi - sounded more like SuAmi, the diftongs are hard!
    5. Turku - vowel sounds were closer to Y than U
    6. Kainuu - First one was excellent but the next one changed a lot
    7. Pohjanmaa - was perfect otherwise, but the J missed hard 😂 Finnish J is pronounced like Y in English
    10 extra points for Perkele and Tuonela!!
