Now I can't help thinking of the "spruce is on fire" Finnish-is-hard picture. Do you know it?


Never heard of it. Reference?


Finnish is a great language:

The spruce is on fire. = Kuusi palaa.

The spruce returns. = Kuusi palaa.

The number six is on fire. = Kuusi palaa.

The number six returns. = Kuusi palaa.

Six of them are on fire. = Kuusi palaa.

Six of them return. = Kuusi palaa.

Your moon is on fire. = Kuusi palaa.

Your moon returns. = Kuusi palaa.

Six pieces. = Kuusi palaa


What the others pointed out, sorry for not linking directly. I was on iPad and searching on a separate tab, copying and all the hassle was slightly too cumbersome... And you may have already seen it :)
