    I like how it makes the Finnish language seem so simple. But yeah... Try to learn it and you'll figure out pretty soon that it's not. 😅 I think the grammar is one of the most complicated in the world.

      Thanks for the top tips. 👍 But to be honest, I’m not so bothered. My Spanish accent isn’t great either but everyone understands me and that’s all that matters to me. 🙂 Finns don’t often hear foreigners speak their language as so few people speak it so I understand why they can get very precise about it. 88 countries have my language, English, as an official language, 1.5 billion people speak it. There are 40 English accents and dialects in the Uk alone, some I can barely understand. So I’m used to people speaking my language totally different to me. For example, I really enjoy listening to Finns rally English. Maybe as Finland gets a little more multi cultural Finns will learn to enjoy their language sounding a little different too 🙂👍

    English language having borrowed words from many different languages is rich. But that richness, at the same time, can make it difficult to understand for someone not familiar with etymology. Take the example of Latin for 'head' and words derived from that into English. Head in Latin is 'caput'. Various words which evolved from that root word are chef, chief, chapel, cape, capital, capital punishment (originally meant beheading). While all those words have some kind of 'head'ness to it, it's not easy to arrive at meanings of those words if you don't already know those words or the original word in Latin. Finnish, on the contrary, as you pointed out, can be easier, contrary to what most people believe, if you know the root words. Pää, pääkaupunki, päärakennus etc. It's wonderful.

    In my dialect of Ojibwe, a language spoken in the the Upper Peninsula of Michigan along side our fellow Suomi folk our words are formed in sort of the same manner, this is our local word for computer.
    Gikendaasowinimazinaabikiwebinigan
    (derived noun) gikendaasowin ni intelligence; knowledge
    /mazinaabikiwebin-/: /mazin-/ fancy, figured, image; /-aabik-/ mineral (inorganic solid: rock, metal, glass); /-webin/ act on it forcefully by hand: fling, throw, shove with hand vti ; /-gan/ [nominalizer]
