I just got off the phone with my friend after a fight over fruking Finland!
He said, 'Finland isn't scandinavian, so how is it nordic?' and I tried to explain that Finland isn't scandinavain, correct but it's nordic because it's a northern country, but kept saying things like, 'Well, why not include the UK and Ireland, they're up north too.' and 'Comparing Finnish and Swedish is like comparing French and Russian.' and 'Nordic is scandinavian countries so why is Finland and Iceland included too?' I swear it was almost 3 hours of just fighting until I just hung up. Nordic is old scandinavian for northern country and you know where Finland is? It's up north! IS IT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND!? sorry if I ranted, I knewed to get this off my chest. Also, Finland used to be a Swedish colony and, after that a Russian one, interesting...
