In Finnish, win spectacular sauna stove and sauna stove showing butter are the same.

Clearly some people are just thick, so someone needs to explain this.. :smuggo:

Voittaa = To win
Voita = (you) win (verb)

Näyttää = to show (verb)
Näyttävä = showy, flashy, imposing, i.e. nice looking (noun)

Kiuas = sauna stove

Voita näyttävä kiuas = Win a nice looking sauna stove!

OTO:

Voi = Butter
Voita = partitive of voi (i.e. a part of butter (bar) ) (noun)

Näyttää = to show (verb)
Näyttävä = 3rd person presens for "näyttää" - i.e. he shows

Kiuas = sauna stove

Voita näyttävä kiuas = Sauna stove showing a bar of butter

---

The play comes from a) dual meaning of "näyttävä" and "voita" depending on are they nouns/verbs and b) the free word order in Finnish.

The Swedish part is just for added confusion, as Finland is actually dual language country and all packaging must have Swedish labels (as well as Finnish). Usually much smaller though, unless the brand is Swedish (then the Finnish is the small print).

That was created for foreigners to teach tones and multi-character words.

To a Chinese person different tones aren't homonyms in the slightest.
