Pong's word book: 💡 15 dig-a-little-deeper questions to ask a Finn

Get to know the Finn you're talking to more with these fun questions...

Hei, how are you?

I'm good! The first summer days are here in Lahti, and we are enjoying them with open arms.

I'm also looking forward to meeting friends, family, and building new connections… Maybe you are too?

That's why I made you a fun list of 15 dig-a-little-deeper questions that can fill up Finnish silence nicely. ;)

I wanted to create questions that aren't too difficult to answer and that help you get to know the Finn you're talking to more.

1. What's your favorite public holiday in Finland?

2. Would you prefer to live in the country or in the city?

3. What's your favorite month?

4. Do you prefer lakes or the sea?

5. What was your favorite book as a child?

6. Who is your favorite Moomin character?

7. What's your favorite chocolate candy?

8. After buttering a bread slice, do you put ham or cheese next on top of the bread? (a Finnish version of the cereal or milk first debate)

9. How do you drink your coffee?

10. What's your favorite scent?

11. What's your favorite season?

12. Have you ever seen the northern lights?

13. Do you like ice swimming?

14. Who is your favorite Finnish athlete or celebrity?

15. Do you prefer to go to a wood-burning or to smoke sauna?

I hope these conversation starters bring you lovely moments with new and old friends!

Would you like me to translate these conversation starters into Finnish for you too?

Yours,

Varpu

Ps. Who is your favorite Moomin character? Mine is Little My <3
