Comment on If I was in the market for a good used car, which car would be the best to outrun the cops?
AstralPath@lemmy.ca 1 week agoIs it common in Finnish for proper name spelling to be altered like that? “Vatasen”/Vatanen
Finnish is probably my favourite foreign (to me) language. The Finnish accent in English just captures my attention for some reason. Also love how unique it is on paper. Just super cool. There’s a lot to admire about Finns and Finland in general. I’d really like to take a trip out to Oulu and jist ride a bike everywhere.
Ari Vatanen was a badass too. I wish my country had rally heritage like that.

Yeah perfectly normal. Vatasen = Vatanen’s, Vataselle = to Vatanen, Vataselta = from Vatanen, Vatasessa = in Vatanen, and so on.
It’s a flexible language. I don’t envy the ones trying to learn it.
