Lol today i learned (while doing German homework) that the whimsical Finnish word "tilpehööri" (= additional trinkets or random things that come along with something else) actually comes from the Swedish tillbehör which is equivalent to the extremely commonly used German Zubehör

#not exactly the same meaning but similar #petition to create 'tsupehööri'...#i already joke with my parents that i'm going to start speaking like 19th century finnish immigrants to america and/or ppl along the swedis #border (also in the 19th century)#(= speaking old-timey finglish/swennish where you make english or swedish words into finnish w pronunciation/spelling)#liisasin tänään tsaitungista että tsuukistraikki jatkuu vii'immä #etc #so yeah lets make this a thing pls /J #ashhdhj translations:#liisasin = [ich habe] gelesen #tsaitungista = in der Zeitung #tsuukistraikki = Zugstreik #vii'immä = wie immer #i'm having so much fun with this xDD #(so my example sentence would be 'i read today in the paper that the train strike keeps going like always')#languages #random
