Suomi mainittu, Torilla tavataan!
Hulluuden;
that's Finnish for "insanity."
What is insanity then?
Its doing the same thing
again and again
expecting a different result. No matter how many times,
five or six or ten.
Welcome to Helsinki,
the home of hulluuden.
-Dorian. C. Major
"Suomi mainittu, Torilla tavataan!"[Finland mentioned, see you at the plaza!]- This is what Finnish usually say, sometimes as a joke but other times they mean it, when Finland is mentioned in news or comments or any media outside the borders. This means they go to the plaza, city square, market square whatever you want to call it (it’s just tori in Finnish) to celebrate! Which usually looks something like the image above. Beer in one hand is a must! Naked is optional but very common.
