Didn't want to correct you, now I feel like a naggy school teacher!!! Just messing with you a bit. But really that is 1 for you and more then I can count for me. I can't tell you how many posts I had to edit after the fact!
NO: keep nagging the Fin on English.
I’ll tell you a little secret about the Fins moorea, they all speak the European languages but NO ONE in Europe or Russia can speak to or understand them, it’s true, not a single word in common. The roots of Finish are NOT any of the European languages; the Norwegians can’t even understand them, not a single word. You can pick up a word or two of what all the other engineers are saying to each other on a job, all but the Fins.
Oh ya, don’t ever go out drinking with one of them either, even a big Russian man can’t keep up with a little Finish girl going bar hopping.
And in spite of the talk about their depressed nature I found they had a good
sense of humor or I wouldn’t be telling of my experiences working with them this way, just being sarcastic, and hopefully a little funny, commenting on the uniqueness of the Finish language. Will never forget asking a Norwegian, who spoke almost every language, what two Finish engineers were saying to each other and he telling how nobody in Europe could understand the fins, he thought it had to do with living between him and the Russians, made them very “careful” people.
