danc Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 Thunder Bay has the largest Finnish population outside of Finland (that's true!), but neither I nor TJSA knows what it means. So that doesn't bode well for the rest of the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pameladallaire Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 My maiden name is LUOMA, and my father was Finnish but my parents were divorced so I never learned the language. It's embarrasing walking into a community place around here when someone walks up and starts talking Finn. I really LOOK like one. Sigh!

ccmtcanada Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 My maiden name is LUOMA, and my father was Finnish but my parents were divorced so I never learned the language. It's embarrasing walking into a community place around here when someone walks up and starts talking Finn. I really LOOK like one. Sigh! Pam . Pam...I know your pain...LOL. I am obviously Asian...of Japanese decent to be exact. I get people coming up to me speaking Chinese, Japanese, Korean etc.... I just look at them and ask if they speak English. You see.....I'm 4th generation Canadian...my family first immigrated here in the late 1800's. The language was lost a few generations ago. My friends joke that I am more Canadian than they are, because most of their parents immigrated to Canada from Europe in the 60's. My mother speaks Japanese, but she learned out of interest...went to school to learn it. The style she learned was "proper" and not "conversational". Much like how we learned French. So when true Japanese people speak to her, she has a hard time understanding them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Colaneri Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 As DanC said alot of "Finns" in Thunder Bay. While growing up there, I had a Finnish history teacher. I'm of Italian descent and I guess he was dying to try his new joke out on me....What's the first thing they teach the Italian army? he says..."I don't know, what" I answer....he then raises his hands in the air as if to surrender. Ya, ya, har, har....So I fired one back at him....."Mr V. I said, "Whats the closest thing to a fishes bum hole?" He shrugs his shoulders and that's when i hit him...."A Fin!" I spent the rest of his class in the cafeteria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
