English-speaking people can't fathom doubling any vowels beside "e" and "o"... We can't abide such things as "aa" or "ii" or "uu"; add-in the dots and we're lost; we can't say "ää" or "öö"... If we can even identify Suomi , we know it because of the repetitive vowels, the excessive "k"s, and the use of "-nen" at the end.... An average English speaking person would not even be able to recognize this next line as "fake Finnish": Sä paa lekkanönaakkarannen üppa päakeeroniknen ko kükülassonapö "Hockey" küütliinenenen.
