This is my first official card from Great Britain. The card shows the rugged outline of the famous castle seen from Calton Hill. It was from Merag < -- if I read her name correctly.

This second card looks very simple but what is written at the back is very valuable. A result of a “learn about words” tag, Kiti taught me 8 Finnish terms. We shall learn together, OK?

I am not sure whether the words should be pronounced as they are spelt, anybody has any idea?

Summer vacation = Kesaloma
Thank you = Kiitos
Excuse me = Anteeksi
Happy Birthday = Hyvaa Syntymapai-vaa
I don’t speak Finnish = Mina en puhu suomea
Congratulations! = Onnittelut!
I love you = Mina rakastan sinua
Weddings = Haat

*whoa* That was difficult.. But I think I am beginning to get the flow of it. As it seems, “mina” means “I” and “sinua” means “you” *winks*
