Kantele are good for your soul

Finnish has 15 noun cases. Why!? *makes a dramatic gesture to the heavens*
They should have special warning stickers on those text books:

WARNING!! THE LANGUAGE YOU’RE ABOUT TO LEARN CONTAINS A HIGH QUANTITY OF NOUN CASES AND MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN, PREGNANT WOMEN AND ANYONE SENSITIVE TO BRUTAL GRAMAR.
I masochistically enjoy trying to pronounce words like yhdeksänsataaseitsemänkymmentäviisi, but 15 cases? That’s just mean :(

Here, have some pretty kantele music. Perfect to calm any linguistic frustrations.
Nostatus - Otahe Mun Oloni
Nostatus - Sie Kurja
Poropetra - Luonnotar

f, finland, music
