Well, Finnish has relatively more vowels than consonants, and that is very rare, I don't know of any other language that has it so... |
In our German book it said that "Finnisch ist wie Lateinisch rückwerts". 
Anyhoo, Finnish has another rare feature in it: every letter is pronounced in the same way in every word. Just think about English: don't you have some stupid spelling contests like the one in a certain South Park episode. So if one thing is easy in Finnish, it's writing the words correct.
There are a couple of exceptions though. There are a couple of words that have only one consonant in the middle, though it's pronounced as if there were two. And a certain word ending joint thingie is often pronounced with two although written with one consonant.
Well, every language has its own illogical things. In Finnish there are a bunch of words that have a couple of meanings, but whose differential meanings are inflected in their own ways, just like the German word Die BANK (pl. Bänke / Banken depending on the meaning of the word).

Well, Finnish double-consonants are usually a big pain in the ass for foreigners. Many find it almost impossible to pronounce our 'hh', 'kk', 'll', 'mm', 'nn', 'pp', 'rr', 'ss', 'tt', or 'jj' and 'vv'. The last two are very rare, and never found in writing. 'hh' is also written with only one 'h', but pronounced with 2, as in 'tulehan', 'menehän' and other -han/hän-ending verbs
...like someone would really care

Um... give me an example of a word that has 'jj' or 'vv' in it?
But I know one word that has 'hh' written with two 'h's :
HIHHULI...

I have been to North Finland.
Are you guys sad to see the mark go?
Bugs, you'll be happy to know that Finnish films are boring, gloomy, and about ppl with alcohol problems. That is if they're aware that drinking all day/night is a problem. Some Finns in here probably fall into that category.
