    1. genuine question (as I’m a foreigner) why Finland is not considered part of Scandinavia?

    2. Kiitos paljon! I cannot tell you how many times I’ve had to explain this to people. Drives me mad when people say Finland is Scandinavian!

    3. Anyone that’s not nordic gets this wrong all the time, it’s such a common misconseption.

    4. As a Scandinavian Finn originally from Enontekiƶ, I find this fanatical and lunatic belief that Finland is not a Scandinavian country being ridiculous particulary after the fact that Denmark is not in Scandinavia at all. Finland is partially Scandinavian by geography and also by culture. There is no rational reason to deny that.
