About the language
Finnish, known as suomi, is an official language of Finland and a recognized minority language in Sweden and Norway. It is closely related to Estonian and Karelian and much more distantly to Hungarian, but it is not related to its Slavic, Germanic or Baltic language neighbours such as Russian, Swedish or Latvian. The bulk of Finnish speakers live in Finland, with about 300,000 others living elsewhere, especially Sweden, Norway and Estonia.

Finnish
is a Uralic language of the Finnic branch, spoken by the majority of the population in Finland and by ethnic Finns outside of Finland. Finnish is one of the two official languages of Finland (the other being Swedish). In Sweden, both Finnish and Meänkieli (which has significant mutual intelligibility with Finnish) are official minority languages. The Kven language, which like Meänkieli is mutually intelligible with Finnish, is spoken in the Norwegian county Troms og Finnmark by a minority group of Finnish descent.
Finnish is typologically agglutinative and uses almost exclusively suffixal affixation. Nouns, adjectives, pronouns, numerals and verbs are inflected depending on their role in the sentence. Sentences are normally formed with subject–verb–object word order, although the extensive use of inflection allows them to be ordered differently. Word order variations are often reserved for differences in information structure. Finnish orthography uses a Latin-script alphabet derived from the Swedish alphabet, and is phonetic to a great extent. Vowel length and consonant length are distinguished, and there are a range of diphthongs, although vowel harmony limits which diphthongs are possible.
Fun facts of language
- The Finns have a word called saunatonttu – a sauna elf who, if you behave badly in the sauna, will become angry and burn it down.
- It’s not Santa Claus who arrives in Finland on Christmas Eve but the ‘Christmas goat’, Joulupukki.
- Finnish is famed for its complex grammar – it has 15 cases – but one relatively simple aspect is that it doesn’t have any grammatical gender, so the pronoun hän is used for both ‘he’ and ‘she’.
