    As others explained, finnish is pretty flat and that carries to the other languages I speak. To english mostly, I refuse to speak swedish

      From what I’ve learned from memes is that there is “enmity” between Swedes and Finns, am I correct?

        I wouldn’t say so. Finns might feel like the little brother and feel unease about that. In practice there are lots of personal and commersial ties. Many have family in Sweden, me included.

        We don’t expect Sweden to send troops if Russia tries to invade, planes and ships, maybe the odd submarine but no troops. At least that seems to be the sentiment

          It’s a complicated relationship, I can relate with the relationship between US people and Canadians.
