RE: Drive Vol. 7: NORWAY (part 2)
Oh my gosh, I love your nutty sense of humor, @celestal! This really made me smile. Our drivers (even truckers) have that behavior sometimes — needing to get ahead because they just can’t stand being behind — so they are willing to risk life and limb to pass a car or two. Cool cave lights and amazing mountain photos! I’m assuming you weren’t the one driving! (But I have been known to take pictures while in command of a car, myself. Now we have a hands free law, so I’m really trying not to!)
Finnish doesn’t have gender pronouns?
Haha, thanks @jayna.
Oh, so it's some kind of trucker thing, haven't seen that in Finland though :P
Nah, I wasn't – I don't even have a license. But at least I got to compensate by being the documentarist, haha.
Nope, no genders or articles in any words. When we talk about a person in 3rd person, we say "hän". But if we want to be specific, then we obviously say "mies" (man) or "nainen" (woman). But we have 15 noun cases. And because Finnish is agglutinative, we can have fun words like epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellänsäkäänköhän. That is not something anyone would say in real conversation, but it's technically a correct word.
Ha ha. I dare you to casually use that word in conversation. For extra points get it on video!
