Can you live comfortably with just Swedish and English in Helsinki? I speak both but started learning Finnish (that’s why I am posting here). I don’t think I can ever progress past A1 level in Finnish. If I just have finlandsvenska friends and watch YLE Fem and not talk to cashiers in shops?
So, nothing looks American or British - some parts of the city look like Stockholm while others look like Copenhagen or St. Petersburg (the less downtown parts)
What's the minimum salary in Helsinki?
There is no minimum wage in Finland.

English is enough in Helsinki, but Swedish is even better.
Where are the people? Is this 10 am on a Sunday?
Its about 9 am on Saturday. A bit too early for most of the folk, also the freezing temperature is keeping people inside.
