Mut missä nää ihmeelliset hahmot Jonne ja Veeti asuu?

Vastaus on hyvin vapaavalintainen poikaseni!

En tarkotuksella kohdista aluetta mihinkään tiettyyn, koska en ite käy missään ja pitäis tehdä liian paljon taustatyötä alueisiin, jotta saisin ne sitten toimimaan :D

Mutta!

Suurinpiirteinen ideani on ollu, että tarinan pää paikkakunta ja/eli Veetin asuinpaikka on Etelä- tai Lounais-Suomessa.

Silleen rannikon läheisyydessä, muttei suoraan missään meren rannalla. Kaupunki jossa tää nuoriso asuu ei ole mikään suurkaupunki, enemmin sellanen joka aina unohtuu mainita, ja kartalla pitää vähän kohdentaa lähemmäs että se näkyy.

Kun taas Jonnen oma alkuperäinen kotipaikka on, yllätys yllätys, Savo-Karjalan alueella. Murre ei varmasti antanut vinkkejä moiseen.

Sieltä löytyy paljon pikkukyliä joista kukaan ei oo koskaan kuullu, ja jostain niistä herra on kotoisin

Russia has sent Finland a note about the suspension of operations at its consulate in the Finnish border city of Lappeenranta, according to local paper Etelä-Saimaa (ES).

Russia also announced that it was revoking consent for the operation of the Petrozavodsk and Murmansk offices of the Finnish Consulate General in St. Petersburg.

Finland announced in January that it was temporarily closing the Murmansk office and in April announced similar plans for the office in Petrozavodsk.

The closures, which will take effect from 1 July, were justified by Finland's 'confrontational behaviour' which has deteriorated relations between the two countries, according to Russia.

"At Finland's initiative, bilateral political dialogue has been cut off, trade and economic cooperation destroyed, the sister-city relationship between cities and regions and close border cooperation broken, as well as air and rail traffic cut off," a Russian foreign ministry's press release stated.

Russia also accused Finland of rejecting the policy of military non-alignment by joining Nato's military alliance, ES wrote.

"The responsibility for the current situation lies entirely with Finland," the Russian ministry's release stated.

Keeping up with the House of the Estates

Finnish media, including tabloid Iltalehti, questioned PM-designate Petteri Orpo (NCP) at Helsinki's House of the Estates on Wednesday morning, focusing on topics like climate targets and energy.

Orpo and members of the National Coalition Party, Finns Party, Swedish People's Party and Christian Democrats are in their fifth week of government formation talks at the venerable building in the Finnish capital.

Reporters asked whether the new government will stick to the 2035 goal of carbon neutrality.

"The starting point is that climate work will continue. The climate law will not be opened. Everything will be done in such a way that competitiveness is ensured. Yesterday's news on hydrogen investment is great, as well as last week's on clean energy. These are the things we want to secure for Finland," Orpo said.

He added that the goal was to reduce emissions and create more jobs, stressing at the same time, however, that it ought to be done in a way in which everyday costs do not rise unreasonably.

Finland's overburdened healthcare system was also brought up by reporters.

"The aim is to get more carers, to make carers feel better about their work, to raise the prestige of the job. In addition, we should be able to attract new workers and people who have left the sector. How to organise work, whether health technology can be utilised. It is a complex issue," Orpo said.

Finland's healthiest and sickest

People living in the Finnish Archipelago's autonomous island region of Åland were hailed as Finland's healthiest by the National Health Index, according to newspaper Ilkka-Pohjalainen.

Published on Tuesday and commissioned by the Finnish Institute of Health and Welfare (THL), the study gathered data between 2019-2021 focusing on people's health as well as their ability to work and function.

The healthiest people of Mainland Finland were found to reside in Ostrobothnia, as well as Uusimaa and Helsinki. The least healthy people in turn reportedly resided in North Savo and North Karelia.

The differences in health levels between regions were most evident in the prevalence of serious mental health problems, alcohol-related illness, musculoskeletal disorders and heart disease.

Between 2019-2021, North Savo had significantly higher rates of both mental health and musculoskeletal disorders than the other regions.

Alcohol-related illness was most common in North Karelia, with South Karelia also reporting high levels. Heart disease was found to be most rampant in South Karelia.

Well, yes, the personal pronouns will give a general idea of the dialect they speak, but multiple dialects use the same personal pronouns. You will hear mie instead of minä or mä or mää in Lapland and the South-East as well as everything in between, so really it only gives you a very broad idea of whether they maybe speak a Western or Eastern dialect.

Finnish dialects are generally divided into Western and Eastern dialects, both which have sub-dialects. The West-East divide in Finland also includes difference is culture and customs, West having been more influenced by Sweden whereas the East has more influence from Russia.

Generally speaking the Eastern dialects consist of Savonian and Southeastern dialects (7 and 8 on the map).

1 Southwestern dialects 2 Southwestern transitional dialects 3 Tavastian (Häme) dialects 4 South Ostrobothnian (Etelä-Pohjanmaa) dialects 5 Central and North Ostrobothnian (Keski- ja Pohjois-Pohjanmaa) dialects 6 Far North (Peräpohjola) dialects 7 Savonian (Savo) dialects 8 Southeastern dialects *

* Also known as the Karelian dialects, not to be confused with the Karelian language. Both share the Proto-Karelian language as their common linguistic ancestor.

The striped areas are Swedish-speaking or bilingual areas. A long time ago, before Swedish settlers came, they were inhabited by Finnish speaking population.

(check Kotus for the sub-dialects on the map)

Random finnish of the day: The fastest way to determine which dialect a native finn grew up speaking is listening to what personal pronouns they use.

There's a distinct difference between the various dialects of spoken finnish, and the formal and written kirjakieli "book finnish/written finnish", whose spoken form is yleiskieli "general finnish/formal finnish". People learning finnish as a second language are taught formal finnish, and besides having their own accent and making minor grammatical errors, not speaking any regional dialect is a quick way to spot someone who's not a native speaker.

I've met plenty of immigrants who have interestingly picked up traces of the regional dialect of wherever they've learned most of their practical finnish, and I've met one native speaker who spoke formal - she was born in Australia to finnish parents, and grew up learning most of her finnish from written sources. When we met she had newly moved to Finland with her parents, and hearing her talk, I remember thinking that she spoke like characters talk in dubbed cartoons, which had a very "uncanny valley" feeling to it.

Finnish is pronounced exactly as it's written - it isn't possible to mispronounce a word you've only seen in writing - and regional differences are more about word choices than the sounds one makes to pronounce them. And one of the most distinctly different words are the personal pronouns. No dialect of finnish has gendered pronouns, so you can't tell which gender the person referred to is from a sentence starting with "she/he is", but you can tell where the speaker is from by how they say "you are".

The formal finnish first person singular is minä, and "you" is sinä, but every dialect has their own ones. As I spent my early childhood in the very south, I naturally say mä and sä, while someone born in deeper Tavastia would say m��ä and sää. If you're already wondering how the fuck a language spoken by fewer people than the population of Philadelphia can have regional dialects, I was actually bullied for "talking funny" after my family moved an hour's drive away from where we had lived for the first 11 years of my life.

I already forgot where I was going with this before I got distracted into talking about finnish regional pronoun use, so I'm not sure how to conclude this now. But if you know which dialects use which variations of personal pronouns, you can tell whether a finn is from Lapland or the southernmost shore by whether they say enmie or emmä as "I don't".
