Fläckis

It happened a lot here in Helsinki and I am amazed over how similare but so different everything is here! Take for example my experience in a café: When I entered the café it sounded like eveyone spoke Finnish. I spoke English with the cashier as I always do. But when I sat down and started to listen to people they actually all spoke Swedish! Just Swedish with a very Finnish tone and dialect. Personally, I think that if you want to speak Swedish like that you better of just talking Finnish. But my friend told me today that people use to say: "Svensk-talande är bättre folk".
