Prolet


I'm a 19-year-old brony from a backwater welfare nation known as Finland. I study history at Oulu University.

It was just another day in Equestria.

On that fateful day, the canopy of Greater Finland extended to cover another universum – one filled with English-speaking, pastel-colored ponies.

An admirable tale.

um....okay. you have my thumbs up. :derpyderp1:

Glorious! :fluttercry:
Do Sweden next!

Lol'd.
As a finn, I find this an accurate depiction of a finn in Equestria.

:rainbowlaugh: Seriously! What is wrong with you?! :rainbowlaugh:
Just kidding, just kidding. That was pure epicness! I suppose people who don't know Finnish wouldn't appreciate this much, but you deserve an upvote from me just because! :pinkiehappy:
I bet this would be pretty close to what would actually happen if three Finnish soldiers from around that time stumbled into Equestria with a bottle of home-made vodka :twilightoops:
All my love for this story :heart:

Another one stood up. ”Hilijaa, kusipää. Ekkö nää ymmärrä lontoota?” he said, then gazed straight into my eyes. “So you speak London?”

Small slip to 1st person here. Nothing else to fix. Gotta love that line, though.

At least they died happy

Really unexpected, but not that bad at all. There should be more fanfics using a second language - it's a nice touch. :twilightsmile:
Also, where's the map from? Looks like some strange propaganda poster...
2745823 Yes. This needs to happen.:rainbowwild:

2746269
The map is the cover of a 1942 book. At that time, Finland was engaged in the Continuation War, and hopes for establishing Greater Finland were high.

2745823
But I can't even Swedish :raritycry:

2746289 As I see, they planned to conquer territory past the Gulf of Finland and in northern Scandinavia, too. Interesting...
Anyway, don't all Finns have to learn Swedish as a second language?

2746303
Yeah, we do. But that doesn't mean we could actually speak it well, especially since most hate studying it.

2746289 Then I would be happy to help. :twilightsmile:
If you wrote the story completely in English and marked what should be translated, I could do it for you.
Write it in Gdocs and share it with drweegee1337@gmail.com.

You actually have to learn best language Swedish as second language? :rainbowhuh:
Wouldn't English be more useful?

2746344
I'll consider your offer. And yes, we have to learn Swedish, as the second national language. You see, it has an equal status with Finnish here. But of course we have to learn English, too.

2746348 That's funny. :rainbowlaugh:
Meanwhile in Sweden we have prejudices about Finnish people being farmers who drink and carry knife.
Don't hate us, I know it's not true. :fluttershyouch:

That moment that my name is Erkki...:twilightblush:

2746364
No worries, we have our own prejudices against swedes here!
I won't go into detail though, you won't like the details.

I HAVE TO read this! :twilightsmile::pinkiehappy:

edit: …and now I did, and it was glorious! But much too short! :pinkiecrazy:

Man, forget North Korea! Look at Finland, just sitting there right next to Europe. One day, Putin's gonna quit, and then they'll be all, "Hey, remember the Winter War?" and they'll burn down Russia's borsch with vodka breath and a lighter! Mark my words, we'll be speaking Finnish before the decade is out!

2746933
Because we're all melancholic and suicidal drunks.

...yeah, most of us really aren't, but I sure am! :twilightsmile:

2746729 I think pretty much every nordic country has prejudises conserning all the other countries :ajbemused: every swedish male is homosexual No! Bad me! NO! :facehoof:

On a more serious note, the story was pretty well written, and the finnish dialogue was funny. The one-shot could have used a bit more length thought, and I don't think that anyone who doesn't know finnish won't get much out of this story.

2746364 Yup, everyone has to learn swedish at school, whitch leads to many people hating that subject with a passion and most won't really learn much of it. i dont have a problem with it thought. (Men jag är inte så bra med svenska språket)

To conclude my post, I'd like to say: SUOMI PERKELE kossua koko kansalle ja myös viinaa kaikille poneille!! :rainbowwild:

“Mitä helevettiä, Erkki? Tää oli saatana myrkkyviinaa!” shouted a low and manly voice.

What's a man?

2746348 That's odd, I have no memories of a Swedish class. Though there is a large stretch of boredom and pokemon.

This is exactly what would happen.

Kolme jääkäriä kuolee myrkkyviinaan ja mitä he tekevät kun löytävät ittesä "taivaasta"? No, juovat pullon tyhjäks, tietenkii! On kyllä niin suomalainen loppu kun olla voi, miinus taikaponit ja sen sellaset.

But I have to wonder. Why did a soldier carry around a Finnish flag?

2747638
A bipedal stallion with a smaller penis.

2749155
Just because!

Even if I can't speak Finnish, and Google translator is a piece of trash; I still found it entertaining. :twilightsmile:

Now someone needs to do this with every country. America can have Leeroy Jenkins. :moustache:

Kauan eläköön Suur-Suomi, eh?
Regrettably, I speak no Helsinki, so that's the most that I could do to celebrate this most auspicious occasion.

2752449
Nnngh... it's such a double-edged sword that even dreaming about it feels wrong on many levels. After all, Greater Finland would've required Germany to win WW2.

Translations to those who can't Finnish:

“Mitä helevettiä, Erkki? Tää oli saatana myrkkyviinaa!”

"What the hell, Erkki? This vodka was fucking poison!"

“Eikä… ei… jumalauta, Erkki, me kuoltiin ja ollaan taivaassa,” ”Ja…”

"No.. no way... goddamn, Erkki, we died and went to heaven."
"And..."

”Hilijaa, kusipää. Ekkö nää ymmärrä lontoota?”

"Shut up, dickhead. Don't you understand London?"

“Mähän sanoin. Me kuoltiin sun viinaan ja mentiin taivaaseen,”

"I told you. Your vodka killed us and we went to heaven."

”Paskat. Tätähän on vielä jälelläki. Hyvää ainetta, ei viiti tuhlata!”

"Bullshit. There's actually some left. Good stuff; can't waste it!"

2756314 Thanks, although Google got it close enough so I was able to piece out what was really said.

Note to self: Never drink homemade Vodka. :twilightsmile:

2756287 But of course, good sir. But even in the case of a German victory, Hitler might just decide to annex all those lands east to Karelia into RKM, so probably still no 'Von der Torne bis an der Ural' to match the vision of the aspiring ultra-nationalist as depicted in the story pic.

And thanks for the translation!

Vau, tämä oli aika hauska ... Toivottavasti siellä on enemmän lukuja!:rainbowlaugh:

Hey, at least it wasn't the Dutch! :rainbowlaugh:

That was quite funny :derpytongue2:

VIKING STAMP OF APPROVAL

No-one conquered anything. They just died.

As a finn, i find this hilarious :rainbowlaugh:

Niin kaunista. Nyyh. ;_;

Too bad they died, Applejack would have had some regular cider buyers... if it contained some more alcohol, that is. :P

Njet, Molotoff! Njet, Molotoff!
