Iceland: "Where is our language?"
Nordics: "There's not enough ink in the world."
Iceland: "Fair."

As a young Swedish child, I didn't know much about Finland... But I knew that black pepper was MUSTAPIPPURI!

[oscarernstell]

We have this joke on sweden that reading the packages sounds like you're getting more and more drunk. First it's clear swedish, then happy norwegian, then blurry danish, then intelligible rumbling finnnish. 😅

V4:
"That's Czech, Slovak, Polish."
"That's Hungarian."

[jaanaberg]

As a finn I was too confused as to why we were ignored to see the punchline hitting me right across the face 😂😂

[KJayPlays]

The best ones are when Sweden, Denmark and Norway all spell the word the same way and then Finnish comes in at the bottom with something completely outlandish. Love you Finland 🤍

Champinjoner
Champignoner
Champinjonger

Me:
Champignonger?

Finnland:
HERKKUSIENIÄ!!!

[suakeli]

I remember a pack of squash seeds that said
- squash
- squash
- squash
- KESÄKURPITSA
- squash

[homelessperson]

Welsh: "Finally, a worthy opponent."

[daliborbenes]

The same dynamic as with Czech/Slovak/Polish and then Hungarian comes in.

I had a co-worker who spoke Finnish. One year he wrote "Merry Christmas" on the break room white board and another co-worker asked him if it was Hawaiian.

[TheOneWhoMightBe]

Finland: Herkkusienia.
Nordics: Why can't you just be normal?!?

[airtonsilva]

"The long unpronounceable things!"
-That's Finnish.
Savage, and also true :D
When I visited Copenhagen I could read somethings written inside the train, they were in various nordic languages. But the Finnish translation was impossible to even try to read.

[eevat]

As a Finn I didn’t see that punchline coming. Lovely to read everyone’s shampoo bottle stories in the comments, made my day 😂❤

[verttiviljaminiemi]

As a Finnish, I was cracking up "Chemical thing = Finnish" I guess I speak Chemistry now 😂😂😂

[RendallRen]

As a Finnish speaker, I saw the punchline coming as soon as I read *Herkkusieni* but Finnish was not mentioned 😂

[cani-stay-withyou]

As a Finn-

I am on the floor. Too funny.

[djdjukic]

It's a similar situation with packaging in the Balkans. Serbian, Bosnian, Croatian... Macedonian is the funny one and Albanian is the different one.

[Sacrimony_]

Fucking love you Finland, never change

[aeiouna]

As a Finnish learner... Yeah "long and unpronouncable" is a good description 😂
