Have you noticed it reads the same forwards as backwards. I bet there is a name for that, that the brainy people know.

Having spent many happy weeks in Finland (Tampere & Urjala), I can speak some useful Finnish;

Taxi;  Taksi  (pronounced Taxi)

Osteopath;  Osteopaatti  (pronounced so very closely to Osteopath, that the English word is acceptable)

Beer; Koff or Lapin Kultta  (e.g. for 4 beers, you say "four koff")

Otherwise, with 85% of Finns speaking English and virtually all Finns have at least 2 languages, life for we language illiterate English is easy out there)

 

Note

Tampere was the 1st town in Northern Europe to have electric lighting, courtesy of the Finlayson factory, back in 1882

The factory is still there, although it has been repurposed
