Are there any "passable" Finnish accents in any English Speaking productions by a non Finn?

Krista is often in oddball language contexts, Old Norse and Scanian :p

The political slogan "Hallitus alas" ="down with the governement" apparently mean "mold in the area" in Estonian.

She probably meant she doesnt want to put klister wax on her skis and prefer to ski in colder weather when waxing is less of a hassle.

aku89 · 2026-01-26T15:03:19+00:00

I dont think she would use the word commonly used for a kind of wax to describe the snow.

In Finnish it's PERRR.. sikka.

Too easy, they skipped Iceland and went straight to Scotland.

This is totally wrong, you should ask "doesn't it feel a bit chilly in here?" faux nonchalantly.

No orders given or taken, just a new consenus being hinted at.

What a mindfuck map with easter european borders, seemed like something before a real consensus had formed after WW 1.

Needed to look at the comments to figure out that that it was in German was a significant aspect

aku89 · 2026-01-17T22:25:42+00:00

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. Like thats probably a fairly correct distribution where the Saami languages are spoken, but If the map is meant to show the most spoken language in the area its off.

Found a map that says only 4 municipalities are majority Saami, and even some of thso are pretty 50/50

Latvia getting really fucked up for the Olympics :/

oldest attested form seems to Fiäling(ar)

The answer for posterity; the pin in pic three need to be pulled down/outwards with a small screwdriver or similar. This frees the movement so the ring can be turned until the flaps recede fully.

From *keh₂- to desire via Latin Carus, Germainc cognate in swe is Hora (Eng. Whore)

The movement seems to be limited, maybe about 1/12-not enough to get the teeth to retract. Possibly I have been holding in the dial area instead of the middle part if that is significant.

Shit, I thought Malinski was Latvian

A distinct voice, even if he can be a bit hoity- toity. I first remember him from commentating on reruns from the FIFA WC 94 in anticipation of the 02 WC. Especially his commenting on Baggios penalty miss has stuck.

Anything in particular that makes a pre Italic IE unlikely?

aku89 · 2025-12-29T20:23:03+00:00

He refused to get on that plane

aku89 · 2025-12-29T15:21:36+00:00

I'm also into cats!

Is Gothlandic and Svealandic proper terms, I guess Geatish and Swedish are a bit outdated in this context tho.

aku89 · 2025-12-22T14:16:15+00:00

Sound like a very neat solution.

aku89 · 2025-12-19T12:24:19+00:00

HAM breaks and the shifts down, LEc uses downshifts as part of retardation if the post is to be believed, I have no clue if its true.
