What's up with Finnish surnames ending with -inen? I was considering this during my commute about how grandma's maiden name was super stereotypically Finnish.

what race do you think Finns are?



i don't frequent "the dark web" or wheverer anime and racist memes originate from, but yeah we're caucasian. finland is split in half genetically, basically the western part is inhabited by people descending from the same gene line as swedes and the eastern finns are from somewhere in siberia. both are originally from africa, naturally, just arrived via different route. this whole "finns are mongolian" is a was just racist rhetoric used by racial purists in america to dehumanize finnish settlers.

no one knows but the naming tradition goes back at least 7-8 centuries, probably longer. one theory is that it's somehow connected to the christianization of finland, with pagan names getting christianized by adding -nen after them. back then people really didn't have family names, so it's a mystery why some people were called, for example, tapio korhonen if it wasn't to tell what family they belonged in. fun fact, korhonen is nowadays the second most common family name in finland and the word korho originally meant deaf, dumb or slow. yeah.

Real question here:
I love Finnish music, specifically metal. When are the metal music festivals? Do you recommend any particular language app to learn Finnish? The only ones I have found teach basic vocabulary, but not any real grammar or verbs. I love Finland, and will be going next spring!

I think the only real metal music only festival is Tuska, which is likely going to be end of June. The other festivals are scattered throughout the summer and usually have a variety of performers including metal. No idea about language apps, sorry.

nothing compared to french, yo. it's actually straight forward, first it's just the numbers (yksi, kaksi, kolme etc.) and then it's the the tens digit + numbers (kaksikymmentäkaksi, kolmekymmentäkaksi and so on). so, very logical.

all festivals are during the summer, altho there have been some indoor fests in the winter but they're usually just single stage for two nights. i'm not a fan of tuska or finnish festivals in general. my taste in metal is more of the maryland deathfest type, and finnish metal fests cater to mainstream metal fans. then UG fests are mostly black metal which i'm not a fan of really.

imho Helsinki hits a really nice balance in size. You get all the big city services and poo poo, but without having to be surrounded by concrete 24/7. Half an hour of travel gets me downtown, half an hour in the other direction gets me in the middle of a forest.
