I can post your IP address to the whole board if you want. It is indeed from Denmark.

Nah... no need to pasty my entire IP onto the board, but yes indeed it does start with the didgets 195 for Denmark

Yes it seems!

Yes but that's where I get confused - Finland and Sweden was one country for over 600 years - and during that period, either: Wasn't Any of them part of Scandinavia? or if, Sweden was (is), Then of course what's now Finland must have been to!? And of course more back in time, the bay that now separates S. and F. did not exist......so what was then Scandinavia?

I understand you are confused, but there really arent any rule here. The four countries cling together throughout history. The term Scandinavia was invented to exclude Finns, from something they are naturally part of.

The argument therefore goes both ways. They were artificially excluded and thefore part of - or you can cling to the not part of, because the term was invented to exclude.

Finns can be both in and out of the Scandinavian term, depending on how they view them self. They dont really meet any objections from the other three countries when they use it.

...so whatever you think is ok.

So? And what does it prove? That you know how to set up your browser to use a free proxy located in Denmark? You're Croatian no matter where you're at. You can travel to Honolulu and browse the net through a Zimbabwean proxy but you will still be Croatian.

For crying out loud, I have already posted this link on this board (in another thread) and either Zhenya couldn't be bothered to effing read it or he read it but since it was coming from me he chose to pretend he hadn't noticed it. Nice.

heh, thanks for those answeres (and badmannering me up,) both Khalida, and VM...I agree with what you say.

Of course it's mainly culturally that S. and F. have things incommon, not lingually (exept for some mutual loan words (which are very welcome) like, "Koulu, Katu, Poika, penkki, kauppungi" and so on....

VM you speak both S. and F.?

..... and why would anybody go through all that to fool you

Either you really do think Im croatian, which is absolutely insane or you allready know Im not, but are to stubborn to admit you were wrong. There is no other explanation.

You were this stubborn as a kid to :P

Badmannerian in some obscure language? Badmannerian is being slightly better mannered than that.

Should these words be similar in Swedish and Finnish? I don

"Cat" is "kissa". Same word as in Russian (one of the three).

kissa in Swedish is pee... What a pleasant coincidence

Really? I always thought that most European languages had "pi-" (in a phonetic alphabet) for that word.

Maybe that

Hehe urinera

Just realized that finnish spelling is kaupunki, nothing else...
