This postcard is a tad too ordinary-looking. In fact, if you look closely enough, you will realize that it is indeed an ad card. And many people specify in the forum that they do not want to receive ad cards.
But then again, I received this card as a result of a “learn about words” tag. As the name suggests, what is on the correct side of the card is not as important as what is on the reverse side.
So Laura, who is from Finland, attempted to teach me a few Finnish phrases. We shall learn together, OK? *smiles*
Minun nimeni on Pelf means My name is Pelf.
Mita kuuluu? means How are you?
Toivottavasti hyuaa means Hopefully great.
Mina rakastan sinua means I love you.
Rakkaus on ruma sana means Love is a dirty word.
I have no idea why she taught me that last phrase. Anyway.. I have sent a couple of “learn about words” cards and the 4 phrases that I teach people in Bahasa Malaysia are “Apa khabar?”, “Saya sihat”, “Terima kasih” and “Sama-sama”. And if I happen to have some extra space in the little big-a$$ card (like he puts it), I will also teach him/her the days of the week.
If you think this post might benefit other bloggers:
