Hi from Scandinavia

So beautiful. A new boyfriend for me. I need to check those threads. :)

I have only seen that breed once in person, a friend of my mom's had 3 of them. These were big dogs.

Ja, I'm a norrbagge ;) I can almost see the border from my window so I'm always close to my dear neighbors, the Swedes. Ha en trevlig kväll där borta. (Have a nice evening over there).

Hi and welcome, I am in the UK, was just thinking we're in some ways similar because in UK we have Scotland, Ireland, Wales and England. And you guys have Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway. Though we must be much smaller than Scandinavia I guess. Wow my geography is bad. I have a cat too or as she might say, I have a human... shes great.

Thank you!
My dad's girlfriend is from England so I guess I could say I have relatives there :D To be exact, Scandinavia normally doesn't include Finland… however, it is included when talking about the Nordic countries (Norden), together with Iceland. I think Scandinavia is more similar to Great Britain while the Nordic countries is more similar to the UK :)

Haha! My cats definitely agree on the "I have a human" :joycat:

That old question have triggered more discussions than anything else, is Finland part of Scandinavia? :) It's a litte funny. They have Finland-Swedes over there and Swedish is an official language in Finland, so it really should be part of Scandinavia.
 
Hi there and warm welcome Strawberry ( Swede here ;))

Hejsan & hjärtligt välkommen Jag hoppas att du kommer att finna dig lika varmt välkommen som jag gjorde från dag 1 här inne :)

Haha, yup. I'm aware they have Finland-Swedes in Finland, I'm actually 50% Finnish :) I think the reason why Finland is sometimes excluded from the term Scandinavia is that it is not located on the Scandinavian peninsula. But don't quote me on that ;)

To me it seems like Finland is part of Scandinavia in some matters while it isn't in other matters. That being said, I myself refer to Finland as part of Scandinavia sometimes so I don't think there's anything wrong with doing so :blush:

Fellow Swede, hi! :)

Thank you! I'm sure I will :)
 
For me Finland has always been and will always be a part of Scandinavia and most definitely one of our dear close neighbors same as Norway and Denmark as well as our other Scandinavians / Nordic neighbors :)

Thank you :) I'd love to have a third cat, or even a fourth. We don't have space for more cats, though… and we just moved to a bigger place, haha :sweatsmile:
