@KateGladstone No no no. "Suomalainen" is an noun meaning a Finnish person, but can also be used as an adjective to describe something Finnish, but the name of both the language and the country is indeed "Suomi".

being a linguist has nothing to do with being polyglot, but still a very funny video :)

@flypem1 I made this when I was in high school, and I didn't have as clear an idea of what linguistics is as I do now.

The Finnish word for "the Finnish language" is "Suomalainen."
"Suomi" is the word for "Finland."
And you have incorrectly analyzed (as "mute point") the term "moot point."

Out of curiosity, is there an actual language called "Suomi"? Because the Finnish (Finland) for "Finnish" is "Suomi".
In case you're interested, this is the accented "ê" for "raison d'être" if you didn't know how to get it but do want it.

I was referring to Finnish when I said Suomi in the song, but there is a similar language called Sami.
And thank you for the ê.
