Frenchie door sign

My mum brought me this cute door sign she had found in the local market. No need to say that this went straight to our front door

It says "I live here"

I love it!

As a side note, I wish my dad taught me the Finnish language when I was young but he was too lazy. He's now forgotten it.

My grandparents knew polish AND Hungarian. Lucky me, they taught me about 4 words between the two languages. *sigh* the older my grandma gets though the more I hear her mutter small polish phrases. I always wonder what they mean!

That door sign is precious! I love it [MENTION=1348]Chiana[/MENTION]

awww...well, Finnish is such a language that is hardly spoken outside the country so many just forget it

My bf is English, but his mum is born in Finland. He learnt some Finnish as a child, never used it though, but somehow now when we have been together the language just re-surfaced. Now after couple of years he speaks almost like a native

My grandma spoke quite a bit Russia, but never really taught us kids. Now it would have been so useful, especially here in eastern Finland where we have lots of Russian tourist and it is a must for most employees as well.

Good for him! There are a lot of Finns in Thunder Bay, ON, Canada and my dad is one of them. His family has all passed away so he never speaks it anymore.

Sorry to hi-jack your thread! :ashamed:

No worries at all! I recall some of my old relatives, like great grandma etc relocating to Canada loooong time ago. I believe it was somewhere close to Niagara Falls region. Never really heard the reason...probably for work. All passed away as well.
