swtdeath (Mariana V.I.P): everyone must be so extremely interested in finnish that i could even teach some simply basics here XD notice the sarcasm, im sure that no one is willing to learn a language that is spoken within such a small population.. *

swtdeath (Mariana V.I.P): in finnish we have many ways to greet informally and almost they all are based on two words: hei and moi. from them you can create million versions: heis, heippa, moikka etc. personally i prefer saying moi. often older ppl say terve (literally. health) when to greet each others. *

swtdeath (Mariana V.I.P): other and more formal greetings: good morning is hyvää huomenta, good day (like the french bonjour or german guten tag) is hyvää päivää, good afternoon is hyvää iltapäivää, good evening hyvää iltaa and good night is hyvää yötä. all expressions can be said without the first word 'hyvää' too. for example in the morning you can say just 'huomenta'. *
