And condiment labels from reading them during dinner. That’s 90% of the Finnish I know.

*Ei saa peittää. :)

I've visited Finland a lot the later years due to my company starting a fulfillment center there. It was quite interesting how well I could get by with my Norwegian most places. Either because signage also was in Swedish, words often similar enough (except those that are very very far off, lol), or I even could speak Norwegian to some coworkers that then replied in Swedish (and not all of them even being Finns with Swedish as their native language).

Also "Hoitoaine, meaning "Conditioner".

For a brief attempt at a Finnish webshop I also happen to know "Osta Nyt" (Buy now) and "Verkkokauppa" (Online store).

Hoitoaine is actually two words, “hoito” = treatment + “aine” = substance.

So you know a bit more Finnish than you thought!

I should book my next vacation in Finland, the wife already wants to visit Moomin World.
