Anonymous Coward User ID: 82919093 ![]() 11/01/2022 04:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The Finnish language is completely different from Swedish and other Germanic languages though. I'd say it's that language barrier that keeps the nations apart more than anything else. Some Finns know Swedish, but practically no Swede understand a word Finnish. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76760293 "some Finnish know" ... officially Finland is bilingual country, both Swedish and Finnish are official languages and to get an office you have to have Swedish language competency certificate Swedish is an mandatory subject in schools, but kids generally don't like it, and after the school maybe most Finns forget the Swedish language soon. |
