Good work! I had to look up some of the Finnish. When I looked up the days of the week I started laughing. I will say, it's interesting to see even small similarities across the three languages with the loan words over the years.

Thursday / Torsdag / Torstai - Thor's day

Crown / Krone / Kruunu

King / Konge / Kuningas

I think I only completely missed the Mark on one.

The regn-sade one. I mistakenly thought it might have a Latin root. Like reign (instead of rain. Duh)

I always loved speaking what little Finnish I could with my grandma and papa.

I really regret that I didn’t take a trip to Finland with them back when I was a teenager. Would have been a memory to see my ancestral homeland.

I would love to go there before I die. We still have family there
