  • Talvi Tulee (Air Finland Holidays)

    We put that headline into Google Translate, and it comes back as “Winter is coming again after the summer,” which may lose something in the translation but which should be appealing in Finland in the winter.  Card was mailed in 2011 with message pasted on, one large stamp, and blue Priority label.  Grade: 4

    We have to say, this 5-3/8″ x 5-3/4″ card is really sturdy.  It was mailed with its stamp but there is no postmark.  Only because of that, Grade: 4

  • Nuoruus

    There is a sort of glitter-based paint on his hat, some of the manes, the birds, and the flowers at the bottom.  And you are wondering what this says?  Here is Google Translate’s answer:  “Youth go in spending, but meikäpoika loved ones will not give up!”  That really helps.  (Can you help?)  Mailed in 2012 with stamp, Priority, and almost full postmark.  Grade: 1

  • Siina onpi …

    The writer translates this as “There is brothers fine so like bull cattle.”  Google Translate translates this as “It is place for the brother of a series, like the noble bull bull.”  Writers are human, and Google Translate may need to sharpen up its Finnish.  Either way, the card was mailed in 2012 with two stamps and Tampere postmark.  Grade: 1

    For once, Google Translate came up with a translation that really makes good sense:  “Sometimes stopping is the only way to get ahead”.  Mailed in 2012, this card has a great train-station stamp, postmark, and Priority label.  Grade: 1

  • 100% Paras

    In this case, the sender provided the translation:  “100% the Best … When you’re good, you’re really good.  But when you’re naughty, you’re really awesome.”  We doubt Google can improve on that, so we won’t look 🙂  Mailed with Aurora borealis stamp, mostly illegible postmark, and Priority label.  Grade: 1

  • Firman piikkiin!

    We enjoy this Finnish style of card–and they aren’t ad cards–but we are beginning to despair of the online translation services.  Google says this means “firm peak”.  The sender says it means “Bills on company!,” meaning workers don’t have to pay.  How lucky to live in Finland!  Mailed in 2012, Aurora borealis stamp and Priority label.  Grade: 1

  • Oivalluksesta

    The word Oivalluksesta translates as “Insight,” but for the rest of the text you either need to do the translation yourself or rely on the abridged version in the message on the reverse.  Stamp, not really legible postmark, and Priority label.  Grade: 3

  • Turku, TKL 39

    The card is contemporary but the caption is all in Finnish, and we’re not certain if the photo or the tram itself dates from 1951 or 1968, or what.  Either way, it’s a beautiful clear picture on the card mailed in 2012 with Aurora borealis stamp, Priority label, and illegible postmark.  Grade: 1
