@chica476 aww hell no

[nellysergeeva]

i had a homework abt KALEVALA n i understood nothing :D

[puistis]

Well, basicly it is a tale of old hag and old man fighting against each other while the younger ones have some drama between them.

Everything results to war and some murders.

In the end, old man gets the young girl whitch kills her self since she don't want the old man.

Somewhere in there, one mother goes to the underworld to find his dead boy. Early necromancer i guess =D

The Kalevala is badass! I love Finnish mythology more than even the more well-known mythology (Greek, Norse, Egyptian) and the stories in the Kalevala are so good, considering they were only told by word of mouth for hundreds of years! Finland is such an awesome country and the people living there are so interesting... I really want to move there some day!

[bewitchednour]

what a beautiful language, hopefully these beautiful traditions will not die.

I am of pure finnish blood line, though born in Canada, I feel more like a Finn. I love

all the best of everthing and am an amazing artist in voice and art, writing and

dance, and fixing things, even though I am in my senior years.I love animals and nature so much, that it pains me to know that Finland has animal farms to sell fur to Europe. I wish Finland was #1 country in animal welfare, as well as health and education then would be best in the world.

@GDW311 There is a National Geographic special that covers that exact topic. Portions of it have been uploaded on YT. The YT version is dubbed over in Greek, but you can still make out some of the English words.

Search for "national geographic The lord of the rings - Beyond the movie"

@GDW311

yeah and quenya is inspired by finnish language (=

[darlingsapphire1]

Beautiful, beautiful... and the finnish language is so beautiful, interesting and

powerful. I have to respect the finnish people for their unique characteristics, like

their love of nature, strength, cleanliness, honesty, and genuineness.

[rakkipallo]

@darlingsapphire1 it is nice that some people really thinks like that about us:) thank you for your kind words

[Jop3lius]

@GDW311 Yea and gandalf were inspired by finnish "god" väinämöinen from kalevala.

"Tolkien first read William Forsell Kirby's translation of the Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, while attending St. Edward's School. He described its character of Väinämöinen as one of his influences for Gandalf the Grey."

Vainamoinen's even hairier than Odin, at least in that one picture where he's tow-headed

Is this song played on an actual kaleva, I'm trying to find a sample of kaleva music

[Flaronet]

Hieno video Kalevalasta. :3 Aattelin just tätä videota katellessani,että pitäsköhän tässä joku kerta ihan huvikseen lukasta tuo Kalevala. Ja oon joskus kuullut,että tuo Tolkien olisi aikoinaan lukenut Kalevalan ihan alkuperäiskielellä eli suomeks ja opiskellut suomea sitä varten. X3

[Mars7fin]

@Flaronet Joskus 10 vuotta sitte yritin lukea. Se tuntui silloin hirmuraskaalta lukea, ehkä nyt menisi helpommin.

[gjacks898]

[SwordOfLemminkainen]

@gjacks898 The song called "Ompa tietty tietyssäni" by famous Finnish modern folk music band Värttinä. It's old Finnish song.
