During my stay in Finland, I browsed bookshelves in Suomalainen Kirjakauppa, among others and discovered a rad book called “HOW TO MARRY A FINNISH GIRL”. Many volunteers told me about it, but I though it was rather cheezy. At one point I just bought it. Boy, it was a blast!
How to Marry a Finnish Girl – Phil Schwazmann
Once you get your hands on it, you will understand. Such an entertaining read! PS: DO NOT GIVE THIS BOOK TO A FINN! 😀
‘Cause it is the Finland you don’t know about. And this guy, Phil, an American, won’t sugar coat things in the book. Very amusing, at times over-exaggerated if you ask me. 🙂 Very informative, you will get an insight from a foreigner’s perspective.
I was planning to do a recension on here, but then I don’t want to spoil the fun for you. 🙂
Back on track, in one part of the book there is a chapter called “How to chat up a Finnish girl”, and it includes many catch phrases which can aid you in finding a Finnish girl.
Use it at your own peril 😀 You will either get a kiss on the cheek, or a shovel in your face. LOL
Here it goes:
Could I have your autograph, Miss Finland?
Put your tongue on my flagpole and see if it sticks.
Was that a mosquito that just bit me, or was it love?
When I first saw you, I was like a reindeer in headlights.

What’s your name? I’ll write it in the snow with my yellow pen.
