It's 7800km from Kansas. I believe that the US state with the closest climate would be Minnesota.
Hei.
Sisu.
And, that’s all the Finnish I know. As a native English speaker, Finnish and other Scandinavian languages look very scary to me.
Paska traktori and vasara kalakeitossa are useful phrases to keep in mind as well.
Not to forget kiveskiertymä
You have one single word for this! Finnish is so efficient. :D
