I Am Your Finnish Girlfriend

tulekuisaad:

fuckyeahsuomi:

Finnish: Aja hiljaa sillalla.

English: Drive slowly on the bridge (literally means drive quietly on the bridge

A phrase found often on the Finnish street signs near bridges, this sentence has been voted as the most beautiful sentence in any language by European polls. Pronunciation can be found here.

Does sound rather beautiful.
Wasn’t “ema tuli koju” (“mother came home” in Estonian) considered that as well? :)

I have also heard “Hallan vaaraa alavilla mailla.” named as the most beautiful sentence in Finnish language. It means something like “Possibility of frost in lowlands”.
