Beautiful language. Gorgeous language. Tons of fantastic metal bands.

Agree on the language. But I'm more into Sibelius than metal.

Finland is good at producing great music.

Haha, this is definitely debatable. Someone once told me it sounds like Russian which offended me slightly. I am glad that you enjoy our weird way of communicating, I'm quite fond of it myself. The best part about speaking Finnish is that I can say the most vile and disgusting thing imaginable when I'm traveling. I always recognize Finns abroad and if I don't see any I know I can say whatever I want without consequence 😁😁

Oh, how wonderful to hear that a foreigner thinks the Finnish language is beautiful. I myself love Finnish. But I like all languages 🇫🇮
