Onnittelu, if that's the word I want.

[Juni Ori]

Well yes, but in plural!

HEVILLÄ EI VOI HÄVITÄ! - translate that! Hevi = sland word for "heavy (metal)"

*quietly curses the rubbishy online Finnish dictionary* Oh well, but there's more than one Finn, right??

"Heavy metal can't lose"?? I'm a bit puzzled by the suffix of the first word. It seems to indicate location, but I can't really work out what it's supposed to mean...

With heavy you can't lose!

*cough* Oh well, I got the gist of it, right?

Actually I was pathetic enough to watch that contest thingy. Well, it was marginally less painful than writing an essay on lexicography, but it does strange things to your brain. *shakes head*

[Juni Ori]

Actually you were correct in every way, except in this case the -llä ending meant "with". Good work, girl!

Both mine and my girlfriends' vote went to Lordi!
Maybe now we'll see a larger diversity among the different contributions in the future. At least I hope so. The generic eurovision song isn't appealing to me at all. Congratiulation Finland you earned it, seems like 66% of all voting swedes (according to a national newspaper) voted on you, hehe.

I managed to come home (from seeing Paul Merton's Impro Chums, incidentally) in time to see Lordi at the end but miss all the rest of it, which worked out well They were indeed hilarious.

It's as good a reason as any to have a party and a bit of a drink with your mates. Vote Belgium! I want a famous Belgian in the world!

HA! Finland won. And I'm Finnish. Did not excpect this.. WHOOP! Lordi all the way.

Strange. According to the grammar thingy I looked at, that would have been "hevin". It gives the -lla ending (which is the same, right?) as adessive, i.e. "at heavy metal you can't lose". Which didn't make sense to me. Oh well, you know what they say, Horatio: there's more things going on between Lapland and Åland than is dreamt of in your philosophy. Or something like that...

Potatoe, yay!

AJ, I told you, Finnish is difficult. But anyways, we have a thread for this...

[A. J. Raffles]

Well, it's not my fault that thread hasn't been active lately. I need something to translate.
