So what's going on with Arja Saijonmaa?

[wildchild]

Do we have ANYTHING?

 

[OutSynk]

No idea.

 

[VoR]

Is there... any context to this post?

I do hope she isn't ill/missing/cancelled

 

[OutSynk]

Who is she?

 

[Kala]

Who is she?

She’s a Finnish schlager icon who also had lots of success in Sweden and participated in Melodifestivalen three times in 1987, 2005 and 2019. Her 87 entry is the best one though 2005 is ICONIC.

 

[VoR]

A raspy voiced LEGEND

 

[Iguana]

No idea.

Who is she?

 

[OutSynk]

We finally have some CONTEXT.

 

[Tisch]

She was a star of Allafestivalen a couple of months ago.

So what's going with her? Anyone?

 

[Tisch]

Is she who I think she is? She's from the Swedish minority of Finland. That her?

 

[OutSynk]

So what's going with her? Anyone?

Honestly I’m starting to get really worried.

 

[GinAg (39)]

What is THIS SHIT?

 

[Kala]

Is she who I think she is? She's from the Swedish minority of Finland. That her?

Isn’t she Finnish-speaking? You can hear her accent when she sings!

Does wildchild manage her bank accounts?

 

[Tisch]

No-one tell @JillTyrell!

 

[Iguana]

Is she one of @Suomi 's hostages?

 

[SDF]

It’s amazing what being 6 feet under will do for your figure huns

 

[Tisch]

Can someone please explain what's going on with Arja Saijonmaa? I won't be able to sleep tonight.

 

[OutSynk]

PIN THE THREAD PLS

 

[OutSynk]

Do we still have nothing?

 

[Suomi]

I don’t think this thread is a good idea considering what has happened - for those that don’t know it’s still unclear exactly how many people have been killed or how it started but essentially Arja Saijonmaa has invaded the Åland Islands. Will post more info when we have it

 

[Iguana]

Please could some kind soul explain how to spell this lady's surname?

 

[Soldi]

[Iguana]

I want to be able to tell my children about this thread if I have them and I don't want to mispronounce it

 

[Iguana]

[Soldi]

Are you fucking with me?

[Iguana]

Oh. I meant pronounce, not spell

 

[Soldi]

Oh. I meant pronounce, not spell

Omg let’s have a pronunciation competiton

 

[OutSynk]

It’s pronounced SAIONMAA which in Estonian means BREAD IS LAND.

 

[Iguana]

It’s pronounced SAIONMAA

That literally doesn't help!

 

[Iguana]

Omg let’s have a pronunciation competiton

I am proud of you for correctly spelling pronunciation, you win two Bip Burgers!

 

[OutSynk]

That literally doesn't help!

I don’t know how to EXPLAIN it. In Estonian you pronounce words the same way they are written. Does that help? I THINK it’s the same way with Finnish.

 

[COB]

I really hope she's okay, whoever she is!

 

[Tisch]

I am proud of you for correctly spelling pronunciation, you win two Bip Burgers!

[OutSynk]

Do you know anything about this @L. Põldvere

 

[Iguana]

I don’t know how to EXPLAIN it. In Estonian you pronounce words the same way they are written. Does that help? I THINK it’s the same way with Finnish.

Sort of. I actually REALLY want to understand now.

Could you record how you pronounce it here and share? https://voicespice.com/
