Yes, it does deserve its own topic. As it happens, I’m a huge fan of Finnish music, in particular Poets of the Fall.

Isn’t this the Norwegian band though, with the same name? :thinking: :wink:

LOL internet fooled me again, haha, yeah of course we were talking about them before. I only saw the pictures of them and the text underneath stating “Finnish”, bear with me, I was just too happy, well I am still happy about the song. Maybe I should just succumb and look for a Norwegian music threat?

Hmm, there’s a lot of stuff.
My mom’s jam


My dad is a traitor to the nation, because he likes Roy Orbison and Elvis…

My friends like suomi pop etc. stuff made for peasants like; (some of which are almost good) :smile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYgD8oPZXO4&list=PL4QNnZJr8sRM25rNbVyQrEjRZieayr22z&index=1

I like

But I do also practice some treason, guess I a product of my parents… So I listen to Five finger death punch, Within temptation Amaranthe etc. which are not Finnish. Though a big chunk is Finnish.

Yrjö is actually English George. A millenniaago when the finns first came into contact with the viking tribes, both had difficulty pronouncing certain sounds in the others language. Some modern day decendents still have these same issues to a much lesser extent. B is sometimes called pehmeä p, meaning ‘soft p’, because the sound probably didn’t exist in finnish. Swedes/norse on the otherhand couldn’t pronounce certain letter combos such as ht in lahti, it became ‘laxi’ in norse, so many swedish placenames still say “lax” on many signs, which is also the swedish word for salmon. ETC. I could go on, the etymology is very interesting

So who would ever give such a name to their child? :joy:

86

Typically, the swedish kings and nobility used the name widely, so I guess if the parents wanted their child to become ‘noble’. The vomit version is newer, I think, and may have it’s root in some now old tv comedy and might be related to örveltää, which also means to vomit. Though not sure on those things.

Actually, yrjö seems to stem from 20th century Hesaslangi and örveltää means being drunk, though being drunk in Finland often means vomiting XD. http://www.slangi.net/slanginet/ve15x.htm
