yeah, finland is actually called "suomi" so another big wtf. they have nothing to do with each other. the swedes made up "finland" when they owned it, completely arbitrarily, and the finnish teacher of course refers to it as "finland" when she's explaining something in english. she also uses the english names for all the cases that finnish possesses, which i think is just totally and completely bizarre considering that many of the cases are unique to finnish--there's no reason for there to be a word for them in any other language at all, because it's not like linguists couldn't just call them by the finnish names (they aren't hard to pronounce or anything). really it just makes it more confusing.
