    Finnish has a reputation for being one of the hardest languages in the world to learn, too, so I wonder if that might’ve had something to do with the disbelief.

    Language is weird. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.

    Also some Indian names like “Raju Kulli” means “rough dick”, where “rough” is referring to action, not texture. Some screenshots of such Facebook profiles have been circulating a lot in Finnish social media.

    That happened. It’s an interesting fact wrapped up in a fake story.

    How would this person not have been able to give another example during this whole alleged linguistics discussion before the other guy mentioned his name?
