Hyvää päivää

Some commenters have wondered what my first language is. The standard greeting in my first language is "Hyvää Päivää" which means 'Good Day'. I tried to cut and paste hyvää päivää to google it, but wasn't able to. Don't know if it's the umlauts or the fact the this confuser is dying. I haven't been able to cut and paste pictures for quite awhile now and have to 'save picture as' then add image to my blog. When I typed it in, I was able to find what the language is. I just learned how to do "ä" and I imagine most who are as confuser illiterate as I might have trouble researching the phrase. After posting this I was able to cut and paste to google hyvää päivää, so maybe it was that it wouldn't work while in blogger mode.

Utah Savage was wondering what a Yooper is and where is Crackerland?? Hint; Yoopers live above the Bridge and Trolls live below the Bridge. Crackerland; think Lester Maddox and axe handles during the civil rights days.

Näkemiin. That's goodbye or more literally "See Ya".

  2. Thank you for your answer. I knew the yooper in crackerland reference, but couldn't identify your first language until I google translated it.
