6:46 because language chances over time and some of those aren't from the finnish language. Example: Sodankylä (war's village) the word for river in saami is: soa, but to the finnish settelers it sounded like sota (war) so what started as Rivervilage turned to War's village.

[@susanna1258]

This was so spot on and yes, we in Finland are almost living as before, with this covid-19, the social distancing comes naturally to some of us at least, but then there are still ppl that take it really hard actually and have problems with coping with it :(

[@WildwoodVagabond]

I think that even though it’s normal for most Finns to keep distance it can be hard on them because we as humans are social creatures and thrive with social interaction. This whole situation has been hard for many people here too. It will be nice when we can get back to normal, but here in the US (according to the news) it’s still not under control. Thanks for your comment. Take care ☺️

[@terotommola768]

This is the story I heard why some places are named that funny/gross way: Back in the day the Swedes ruled Finland, and they sent mappers over. Not everyone took kindly to this, and when they were asked the name of the place, they gave silly ass names to the mappers. And they stuck. I dunno, but it sounds like it could be true xD

The town name Kolari actually originates from the last name Kolari. There was a man named Pekka Kolari who moved from Savo to Lapland to a place that is now called Kolari in 1587 (mentioned in some old tax book). The word itself comes from an old, medieval Swedish word 'kolare' that means a coal maker, charcoal burner (someone who makes charcoal by burning trees).

One other thing is that when there was e.g. a swamp or a marsh that was very difficult to cross or get around they would give it a bad name (like s..t something). Same if the a lake or a pond didn't have lots of fish or it had lots of rocks or some ancient fisher-hunter had something bad or difficult happen to him there, he would give it an appropriate name ("p...a lampi" etc.)

You should know that in Turku there is a place called 'Palli' and right next to it 'Pallivaha', translated as 'ball' (singular balls) and 'ball wax'. I've often wondered these place names myself, and I came to the conclusion that when the map names were stamped down, they likely were swedish academics (It took a long time and one Mikael Agricola to change, but for a long time Finnish Academic lingua was Swedish) going around asking people where they were and what was called what. Humorous Finns living a rough farming or logging or something life, far from the Lords making maps then had some fun.. ;-D And other thing is different accents, that can be like different languages when spoken, really old Saami-tribe words, etymology..

I really would want to visit Saaranpaskantamasaari sometime tho! :D

[@WildwoodVagabond]

Is that really a place? 😄

[@valleyofk.yu.s.s.inmyhead8359]

@@WildwoodVagabond Yes it is. As Äteritsiputeritsipuolilautatsi-jänkä ...too. It cannot be translated... even in Finnish language. Sámi origin. It's just one big swamp in Lapland.

On Tissikukkulat (tit hills), the Grand Tetons (mountain range) in the U.S. state of Wyoming means "large nipples" in French!! It seems those early explorers had been away from women for far too long!! :oD en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Teton

I'm swedish and I have to say this. Finland is a part of scandinavia. It's one of the 3 nordic countries that the scandinavian mountainrange goes through. Denmark however is not a scandinavian country.
