Sounds great - although i never heard that word in my life . . .
Google translator gives " Jumping pad satisfaction " - whatever that might be
But quite interestingly there are no other vowels than "y " - normally our words DO have more than one vowel.
While veering to funny language sidewalks - can you find out what oiåaäeöa means - I can reveal that it is not finnish - but spoken here - and it is written in it's original dialect transcription. calling granny . . . .

“Yes, there’s a word for that.”
Finnish: Hyppytyynytyydytys — enjoying a soft, bouncy cushion
This is a compound word made up by some wise guy - or should it be "y's guy?"It breaks down into Hyppy (a jump) + tyyny (pillow) + tyydytys (pleasure), and there are only 7 different letters used. Don't worry, most Finnish compound words actually make sense.

I visited Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch when in Wales...
Saw this somewhere:
Wanted to write a book on Scandinavian humor and knew it would be Swede. But, alas, I knew I could never Finnish it on time---Norway!

This Finnish finish is finished ;]
Lol
PS Hoping no one [Nuuska] is personally hurt by this joke, it looks like a wonderful guitar that surely plays as good as it looks and is also blessed with heavenly tone ;] It's got Mojo.

That is a Landola guitar - used to have one when young and getting into music.

And while I'm here - might just as well add another.
- We need a big "Welcome To Finland" sign at Helsinki-Vantaa airport.
- Can do!
- It is good to shorten a long frase sharply.

Firstly, Happy St. Urho's Day (3/16) to anyone that missed it (
), and secondly this cute little cartoon showed up
on Audiokarma and I knew it should have a home here. Interestingly, it is pretty close to an image a friend
in Kuopio, Finland sent me of his back yard.

My Dad was a big St. Uhro's Day fan, used to sent us all Keebler "Grasshoppers" (mint cookies).
