Why is anyone even trying to get rid of them?

a Polish person will pronounce every finnish word correctly and a Finnish person will pronounce most of Polish words correctly.

I'm Finnish and I've had a Polish friend for 15 years and I can say you're most definitely mistaken.

You are saying you never read two vowels in a row?

No. I'm saying the ones which are umlauted don't go with their umlauted partners. You can äiti easily. That's mom. But you can't have Äati. That's not a word. Ä + a don't go together.

I may be wrong because of how flexible Finnish is, but I don't think a Finnish word exists where there is either äa oe öo combination. Äo maybe, but not likely. (edit def no äo either, just not a thing, I checked the exceptions and now I'm sure)

Its something calmed vowel harmony, which is sort of why I don't see Polish as being any where near Finnish. The amount of consonants you guys use is unnatural to a Finnish person.

Finnish pronunciation is definitely not a "subset of Polish". Polish is a PIE-language. We're not even in the same language tree bro.

As a man, men think women care about looks more than they do.

Looks are much bigger for men than for women.

Obviously a massive generalisation, but in general. Like "men are physically stronger than women". Not all men are stronger than women but...

Anyway.

Looks really don't matter that much. I'd say women pay more attention to personality with the same difference as there is between how much men value looks vs how women value looks.

Also, if I was being very crude, I'd say "status" is the "looks" for women. That's what you get very beautiful women with older rich men more than you do young hot men with old riches women.

But I'd like not to be crude so disregard that last bit.

coöperation.

I come from Poland and we read in a consistent way.

Okay I don't doubt yours is consistent, but it's really hard to grasp. I come from Finland and in the Nordics you would never get oö öo aä or äa combinations I'm pretty sure. Å can go with a but a doesn't really go with ö I don't think and uhm.

Anyways my point is I've no idea how you would go about trying to pronounce coöperation. Or rather what your idea of it is.

I'd couldn't argue which is more constant, but Finnish is every consistent. And pretty much in line with IPA.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Finnish

hevonen [ˈheʋonen]

hernekeitto [ˈherneˌkːei̯tːo]

tule! [ˈtuˌle]

Example of words with their IPA pronunciation. When something like "geography" in English is "ʤɔ́grəfɪj".

Those don't look alike at all. So I'm sure polish can be consistent, but to me at least, I'd be afraid of how complex that consistency is.

In Finnish wr say "kentauri" and in ipa that's pretty much the same.

In Finnish we say kentauri and you can go ahead and imagine Japanese pronunciation for it and it's mostly the same. Finnish is just more neutral in tone imo

Probably referring to SMS protocol, 160 7-bit characters.

In a few years the newer phones automatically started just telling you how many messages long your message was.

You'd end up shortening things sort of like a telegram.noSpacesSomeTimesToSaveChars etc. but it's own style. txting it was called, because "txtMe" is a lot shorter than "text me back, please".

And they weren't free so you'd pay by the SMS.

And when you were txting your crush and heard the Nokia sms... and then another, you'd know there was a longer message. Or having a row with them, in which case it wasn't necessarily a good thing.

And sometimes you'd run out of room on your phone (because the memory only supported like 48 messaged or smth), you'd get a message, start reading it, then it'd say "cont", but your message memory full icon is flashing (same as got a message, but flashing instead of just the letter icon).

Idk what the argument is but that's what "original text message" means to me.

I may be biased because moped culture here (as in a vehicle 50cc or smaller, not necessary one with pedals anymore) in Finland has always been a big thing imo.

One of the "classic" models that were from the previous generations was a "pappa moped" which had pedals and had a connotation of being favoured by older gentlemen who don't want to/can't drive a car anymore (a moped doesn't require a licence from anyone born before -85, but if you got a DUI and licence was taken away you'd be in a ban to drive so then driving a moped would be illegal as well.)

They're allowed to go 45km/h legally but they go pretty much 50 and people tune them to go ~60 usually. Some even up to a hundred but those were crazy dangerous cobbled up machines. And zero gear aside from helmets and some old leather jackets lol

Is this the first time you've been made aware of mopeds, as in a vehicle with a MOtor and PEDals?
