Talk to Me 1
Talking Swedish hurts so bad in his Finnish soul! And yet, non of the other Nordics speak it better than him. D:
As you can see, I’m moving further and further away from the idea that Finland can’t talk at all. Instead I now prefer to think that he just doesn’t want to talk, and when he does, it’s in Finnish (or as here, Swedish).
That way achieve two things.
1: Everybody who doesn’t understand Finnish still don’t understand what he says, meaning he might as well be mute.
2: It illustrates that Finnish is significantly different from the other Nordic languages.
Someone will probably ask, “Why does she keep switching between talking Swedish and English?”
The answer: So non-Swedes can understand what is going on, obviously.
And just to avoid an awkward situation when you meet a Swede and feels like telling him/her that you love them, Finland is not saying “I love you” but “I love my mistress”

Don't know if I would translate it to mistress. It's much kinkier in Swedish. The French, Maîtresse, is better, but I would probably say Empress or if there was a female version of Master in English.

@Valkoinenkoira: Just to add to Gabriel's comments, Scandinavians all spoke essentially the same language until about the 12th-13th century, when the languages started to drift apart. The Icelanders, however, were more conservative, so modern Icelandic is much closer to (although not identical to) the original "pan-Scandinavian" (Norse) language. My understanding is that there would have been considerable differences in pronunciation even back then, though, so Icelandic primarily reflects the dialect of the Norse language originally spoken in western Norway.

*loving groan* Poor Finland, my love for him is so pure. How I wish you'd fulfil my own inner yaoi-girl, but with much more Finland (drools at mental image)
