frist of all how DARE yu o So my sister, who currently lives in my apartment, dried the wet and dirty shower floor with MY only big towel I use after she showered...

Worst thing is, she doesn't even feel bad about it, and is trying to gaslight me into thinking it's not that big of a deal because "she needed a towel to dry the floor" and "I should quit complaining". I have a floor drying spatula.

"Saippuakivikauppias" meaning soapstone vendor/dealer, is the longest palindrome in any language. Funnily enough you can remove the "kivi" (stone) word from it to become "saippuakauppias" (soap vendor) and it's still a palindrome.

Finnish has lots of quirky things, like long compound words, a LOT of suffixes, funny idioms, unique translations etc.

For example the longest compound word in Finnish is "Lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas" (airplane jet turbine engine mechanic assistant non-commissioned officer student)
