// Predicts another thread full of generalisations.

OP I've yet to meet a Finnish person in Ireland. I've met a couple of lads on holidays before and they were sound guys even though there was a bit of a language barrier.

Aodan83

We have a problem with the Spanish?
Haven't given the Finnish much thought to be honest. You guys seem pretty cool though, with all the snow and stuff.

Nightwish

I love Finnish people. Any that I know are lovely and they really like Ireland. I love Finland itself and I'm heading back there in the autumn for a few days partying with the Finns.

AlmightyCushion

As long as you're not a cúnt or a scumbag I don't really care where you are from.

partyatmygaff

Hmm, If you were really from finland wouldn't you know the word was Finnish?

"Finland people" next we'll be hearing china people

My mum is from Finland - Lappeenranta to be precise. Living here about 27 years now.. My mum has never had a bad experience over here - none that I know of anyway.

I personally love Finland and love the people. Had the privilege of spening a few summers there while I was a kid and went on countless holidays there too..

Euro_Kraut

So long as you not as racists as all those Belgians!!

jester77

I love the Finns. Spent some time over in Finland and it was great (apart from the expensive beer). Midsummer is a blast, never seen so many drunks falling around at the one time Very cool people imo...

chughes

In my last job I worked with a guy from Finland. A very nice guy but that's some mad language you have.

Fulton Crown

I think the Irish in general like the Finns...although they have a reputation of not saying very much.

There is a story about two finns going out for a drink.

When the drinks came one Finn said "Cheers"!

The other said "Look I came out to drink not to chatter" !

Probably untrue......

We all love Finnish people OP. Do... you wanna be mates?

I was in Finland (Helsinki, Tampere and Rovaniemi) about ten years ago.

It was great fun. I loved it over there. I stayed in a hostel in the Olympic Stadium in Helsinki, it was great.

Finnish people seemed to be really friendly overall and I really liked it there. Suomenlinna was brillaint and so was the train trip up north.

I've known two Finnish people and both were grand. Liked their drinking, but it would be a bit rich for Irish people to complain about that.

Yeah they don't stand up very well to anyone knocking them, OP it really doesn't matter where you are from as long as you are genuine enough you will be welcomed.:pac:

Most of my interactions with Finnish people have been kinda awkward.

I (apparently) look Finnish, so Finnish tourists inevitably come up to me and talk to me about Finland.

Once they realise they aren't talking to a Finnish person, they lose interest, look uncomfortable and just walk away.

They are the only nationality where I can honestly say that the majority of my interactions consist of greetings, introductions, and no content*.

*Except Roma, with whom I tend to limit my conversation to "No", "Go away", and "Seiously, I'm not giving you anything"

My name is URL

Finnish.. Mongolian.. Jedi... it's all just words

Pull up a chair and call your sister

The great thing about the Finnish is they always get things done.

I think the Irish in general have absolutely no opinion on the Finns.

Paulj

I'd like to think that most people dont make up their minds about others before they meet them. If they do, then its a bad way to go through life!
Personally i don't know any Finnish. I've met a few tourists here and they seemed like nice people and were up for having a bit of fun.

They spend the day getting completely sloshed.

And deep in the evening and well under the influenece, one Finn said "Cheers"!

The other said "Look I came out to drink not to chatter" !

Probably untrue......

Fixed that for you and it is very true.

Am I the only one that looks at the OPs post and pictures them with no head?

Raekwon

I've only ever met two Finns, both girls and they were very strange to say the least. The first was totally obsessed with Latino men and won't even speak to anyone who wasn't tall dark and obnoxious..........the other would just not talk and drank her own bodyweight in whiskey.

So come on over and prove that there are normal Finns out there

bigeasyeah

I like Nightwish! OP do you call Turkish people 'Turkey People' oh thats a good one.Ill get my coat

Paddy Samurai

Don't have an opinion on Finish people tbh, Mika Häkkinen and kimi raikkonen don't give off a great image though
I wouldn't say Irish people dislike Spanish either

Same here - have known a few over the years and they tend to have a great sense of humour.

Red Hand

The few Finnish people I've known were good craic and had a good sense of humour. Well able to hold drink.

The Danes are friendly people. Don't know much about Finns. But ye're all scandinavian so yeah, you're alright. Welcome.

Finns aren't Scandinavian though. They are Nordic, but not Scandinavian.

+1. In the past year I've been to Oulu and Helsinki on European conferences and had a similar time. Not necessarily a bad trait, but definitely unusual/awkward in my experience.

And the language is impossible :eek: kiitos is about as far as I get..

Nightwish

You only need Kiitos, Perkele and Vodka to get around Helsinki. Well thats all I needed

donmeister

I for one am going against the grain by saying I dislike all Finnish People,I'd almost go as far in saying I detest them!

In my eyes there nothing but a bunch of Puck Slappin'-Reindeer Ridin' feckin rally drivers that listen to Death Metal!


Only fibbin' Teemu Selanne hail's from there so I love Finland :P

Honestly, it's something I have never thought about before now.

Strangely, I still don't care. :eek:

I wasn't aware of that. Did I miss another memo? :mad:
