New Language

Tonight I have a test. In what subject you ask? Management, Ethics, HR, French? Nope....Finnish. Last weekend when our friends from Finland came over for dinner they taught us some Finnish phrases, so we have been trying to practice using them all week. It was decided that tonight, we'd have a test. I haven't studied too much, but I do know that Moi (Moyee) means Hi, and I have learned how to say "How are you" and "Thank you" and "Good Morning" and "Cheers". The last one is easy "Kippis!". Did you know there are only 5 million people in the world that speak Finnish? It is a fun language to listen to, but whoa it sounds complicated. Pretty cool though to be France, when the Finnish students know they can bust out the Finnish anytime and virtually no one except themselves will know what is being said. Those sneaky Finnish.
