76. Maybe it has to do with their language
Where Norwegian, Sewdish and Danish are relatively simple to learn,
and are so close to each other that people from all 3 countries
just speak their own languages when visiting the other two and
are 90% understood (Danish is a bit rough on the throat).

But Finnish? Just TRY to learn that one. Anyone who can master
that language is already a genius. Stuff like mathematics and
computer programming probably comes effortlessly to someone who
has mastered the Finnish language.

Just try singing along with this:

Nuapurista kuulu se polokan tahti
jalakani pohjii kutkutti.
Ievan äiti se tyttöösä vahti
vaan kyllähän Ieva sen jutkutti,
sillä ei meitä silloin kiellot haittaa
kun myö tanssimme laiasta laitaan.
Salivili hipput tupput täppyt
äppyt tipput hilijalleen.

Ievan suu oli vehnäsellä
ko immeiset onnee toevotti.
Peä oli märkänä jokaisella
ja viulu se vinku ja voevotti.
Ei tätä poikoo märkyys haittaa
sillon ko laskoo laiasta laitaan.
Salivili hipput.
