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.

Price: $1.00

Willow Grouse (Riekko)
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

Code: 20518095
Price: $3.00

Price: $5.00
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

Code: 20518097
Price: $4.00

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

Code: 20518104
Price: $3.00

Code: 20518108
Price: $3.00
Revontulet – Aurora borealis
In Finnish, “Revontulet” means “Northern Lights,” and in addition to the photo, the caption on the reverse explains the mythology behind this phenomenon. Mailed in 2012 with an abstract stamp and full postmark, and Priority label. Grade: 1

Code: 20518109
Price: $4.00

Price: $2.00
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

Code: 20518111
Price: $2.00

Google translates the text as: “Take the road today, the joy, joyful day for export.” We understand that either Google, or we, are missing something. Mailed in 2012 with hockey stamp, postmark, and Priority and address labels affixed. Grade: 4

Code: 20518114
Price: $1.00
Älä pingota … ota rennosti!!!
From Google Translate: “Do not Stretch the … take it easy!”, and from the sender: “Don’t strain, be yourself!” We like the sender’s translation on this card mailed in 2012 with Angry Bird stamp, postmark, and Priority label. Grade: 2

Code: 20518115
Price: $2.00

Some postal creasing and battering on this otherwise nice card mailed in 2012 with a large “train station” stamp, most of the postmark, and Priority label. Grade: 2

Code: 20518116
Price: $3.00
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

Code: 20518121
Price: $3.00
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

Code: 20518122
