Hei.

Sisu.

And, that’s all the Finnish I know. As a native English speaker, Finnish and other Scandinavian languages look very scary to me.

Paska traktori and vasara kalakeitossa are useful phrases to keep in mind as well.

Vasara kalakeitossa might be my new favorite phrase of all time.

You have one single word for this! Finnish is so efficient. :D

Here's a new word for your finnish repetoire:

Perkele!

Put some feeling into it when you say it.

This is a good one. I feel like I will use this.

You can use this to assist with the pronunciation.
