Finnish Language Facts

• The Finnish language uses a lot of compound words, which has in turn brought to light monster words such as "Lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas" (61 letters) which means "Airplane jet turbine engine auxiliary mechanic non-commissioned officer student".

• The Finnish language is not native to Finland - the roots of the Finnish people can be traced back as far east as Siberia. Meanwhile, the Finnish language, being part of the Uralic language group, originally comes from the area of the Ural Mountains in modern-day Russia.

• There is no word for "Please" in the Finnish language. At first glance, this results in the perception by foreigners that Finns are relatively straightforward or even rude. Nevertheless, there are plenty of workarounds in the Finnish language. For example, the common word "kiitos", meaning "Thank you", is widespread.

• A Finnish word that is used worldwide is "Sauna", which is used in other languages as well and spelled the same way in most of them.

• The Finnish language inspired J.R.R. Tolkien to create the Elvish language. In the Tolkien universe, Quenya is the language spoken by the elves, which was featured prominently in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy. Namárië (Be well)!

• The Finnish word that holds a Guinness world record is "saippuakivikauppias", which means "a seller of soapstone". It is the world's longest palindrome (a word that is spelled the same forwards and backward).
