Apparently today is Finnish Language Day or Suomen kielen päivä. It is the anniversary of the death of Mikael Agricola (c. 1510-1557), a clergyman who is known as the “father of literary Finnish” – he translated religious works into Finnish, including the New Testament, and modern Finnish spelling is based on his work. Before then there was no standard form of written Finnish [source].
It is also my birthday – Ta mee shey bleeaney as daeed d’eash jiu.
I once heard that Finns jokingly call milk Agricola.
