🇫🇮Gallery of Various Unique and Unusual Midsummer Pole Designs From Finland🇫🇮

Midsummer pole from Åland are often shaped like a sail akin to typical Finnish midsummer poles that's not the normal cross-shaped ones.

Finnish Midsummer poles are called Juhannussalko in Finnish, and are mostly used in Swedish-speaking regions but various Finnish-speaking regions started to relatively recently adopt this tradition. While they often uses the common cross-shaped design, they can also look very different.

Many Finnish midsummer poles look like sails and many are decorated with boats and have blue stripes. According to Visit Kustavi, it is because of some old sailor and navy connotations. Flowers (Not the shape at least) had fertility symbolism like the rings symbolizing bridal crowns.

I was at first intended to put all the unusual and unique midsummer poles I found into one post however it become too long so I separated Finnish and Swedish midsummer poles. You can view the Swedish one HERE.🇸🇪

My Moomin-themed midsummer celebration post will feature my most ultimate Finnish-designed midsummer pole I could ever design!

Åland

Åland tend to have various different designs. Looks like spiritual decorated radio antennas! These are common symbol for Åland and they tend to have various different designs.

The one above looks like a palm tree! This took place in Esplanadin puisto, Esplanadparken, also known as Espa and Espis. No, I have no idea about these grown Finnish women piggybacking on Finnish men here. Unfortunately I can’t find a full pic of the one below that has high resolution but trust me, it looks almost exactly like the one from Gustavs/Kustavi. Source

Mossala, Varsinais-Suomi/Egentliga Finland, Southwest Finland

According to Yle, this is the world's largest midsummer pole being about 40 meters! (I have no idea why Canadian flags is included but it might be because some people there were Canadians) However almost half of it is just a normal pole with the Finnish flag. According to this pole's Yle news article, the midsummer pole tradition are actually dying in Finland despite some Finnish-speaking communities adopts it recently. It can also glow at night and it look like it's burning! Lysande! Source

Gustavs/Kustavi, Varsinais-Suomi/Egentliga Finland, Southwest Finland

According to Visit Kustavi, Gustavi/Kustavi is the only Finnish-speaking municipality where Midsummer poles have been raised for more than 200 years. I think maybe this region was once more bilingual until the Finnish language dominated there with Finland-Swedish-speakers assimilating and declining, considering the province’s coat of arms still has Swedish flags but ironically still called the “The Actual Finland” in Swedish (as if the rest of Finland is “Fake Finland”, including Helsinki, hilariously enough. Hey I think Turku/Åbo is Finland’s secret true capital and Helsinki is the puppet, with the true Finnish parliament house being the Moomin-house and Moominpappan is the secret true Finnish president!).

“mitä teet juhannuksena” ahdistus edition

[homunculus-argument]

The fun thing about finnish is that formal written finnish is technically speaking a distinct dialect that's different from all spoken dialects, and while fiction is almost always written with written finnish, many authors will have the dialogue spelled out in spoken dialects to give the text more "real", naturally flowing flavour.

Someone speaking written finnish in casual day-to-day life usually means one of two things - either the speaker is somewhere on the autism spectrum (not a diagnostic criteria, but one of those "I've never seen a neurotypical person do that" things) or they speak finnish as a second language. And I don't know how to say this without sounding condescending, but I love hearing it, it's so charming. Like you stepped straight out of a 19th century play.

Standing in the line to a public bathroom, there's a man talking on the phone, speaking in finnish with a distinct accent, going "I understand, darling. Love. My love. Beloved, I understand. I understand. I will make my way there. Yes, I understand. I will make my way to you. Two hours."

And now that I wrote that out, I can see that there is no way to express in english just how delightfully formal and "writing a love letter with ink on paper to your beloved promising to come back from the war" it sounds when someone in finnish says "rakkaani, minä ymmärrän, minä tulen luoksesi."

[vittumyy]

"rakkaani, minä ymmärrän, minä tulen luoksesi" makes me want to cry 😭

The fun thing about finnish is that the way you ask for things in a polite way has been in-baked into the suffixes you use, so you don't have to use many words when few do trick. Like asking someone "could you give me [-]" is "voisitko antaa" in written and some variation of "voisiksä antaa" in spoken dialects*, but instead of asking "could you", the polite polite way to ask is "haluaisitko", not as can you, but would you want to. The tone distinction is so clear that asking someone "could you [do thing]" instead of "would you want to [do thing]" is less of a polite request and more of instruction - someone's gotta do it, and the task is being assigned to you.

On the other hand, dropping out the conditional out of the question turns the tone into a passive-aggressive threat. If someone tells you "stop that" as an imperative, "lopeta", that's a command. Asking in conditional, could you stop that, "voisitko lopettaa" is a polite request. "Haluaisitko lopettaa", would you like to stop that, is so polite that depending on the tone it might be sarcastic politeness that indicates hostility.

But asking someone "do you want to stop that", "haluatko lopettaa tuon" is a matter of "do you want to stop doing that voluntarily, or do you want me to stop you." By physical force, if necessary.

* the different form varies depending on what first and second person pronouns are used in the specific dialect. This is a whole another rabbit hole so for shortcut I'm doing the examples in the southern finnish dialect that I have grown up speaking

[kuivamustekala]

Since I use it a bunch in my speech, I also want to shout out "viitsisitkö antaa". I don't think there's a proper english word to translate it with, but the closest approximation of the meaning is "could you be bothered to give me" - however while the tone of the translation could easily be read as passive aggressive, if you're just saying it politely, it moreso has this tone of, like... "if you would be so inclined I'd appreciate it".

Which sounds like pretty dramatic appeasement behaviour when I write it out like that but it's also just a nice, polite request, pretty much on par with the "haluaisitko".

[kevytmaitohorsma]

One more option is to state "you wouldn't have x" (ei sulla ois x:ää) and that's somehow interpreted as a polite request

But the one thing we don't have is "please". The word doesn't exist here.

[homunculus-argument]

You can certainly say "you wouldn't happen to have a [thing] that I could borrow?" in english, too, but I do like how in finnish, the latter half of the sentence is not stated out loud, just implied. You don't word that question like that unless you're asking whether you could borrow it. Which also gives the other person the opportunity to soft launch a "no" by pretending to not notice the implied part. So a conversation can go two ways, it's either:

"Hey wou wouldn't happen to have a hammer?" [Can I borrow your hammer?] "Yeah, what do you need it for?" [You can. What are you working on?]

Or it can go like this:

"Hey wou wouldn't happen to have a hammer?" [Can I borrow your hammer?] "I do own one, yes." [I am ignoring your implied request. Whatever you want to borrow it for, I don't want to let you.] "Can I borrow it?" [I am ignoring your implied rejection. I need to borrow it.] "What do you need it for?" [I will not let you have it unless I know what you want to do and approve of it.]

I don't know how much of this kind of thing is just finnish culture, though, and how much of it is just how neurotypical people universally talk. But the implication waltz is definitely a big part of finnish conversation style.

[erdariel]

Circling back to the conditionals - you can also tack the conditional right onto the verb you want someone to do, without the "would you like to/could you/could you be bothered to"

It's a little bit more blunt and thus arguably a little less nicely said, but at least to my ear and my experience, still polite enough to be used in most contexts without coming across as rude. I'd maybe assign it a bit more urgency than a corresponding phrase with the polite preamble, though it's a fairly slight difference so the tone of voice matters a lot and they could be used interchangeably in some contexts

but like i feel like to me, "Voisiksä viedä roskat?" ("Could you take out the trash?" featuring "could you" as a separate word by itself) reads as I would like this done soon and will probably be mad if it's not at least done sometime today, but if you're in the middle of something you can wrap that up in peace, while saying "Veisiksä roskat?" ("Would you take out the trash") is Unless you're actively doing something very important and urgent, I would like you to get up and go do what I'm asking right now without delay.

or likewise, "Haluaisko joku hei ettiä...?" ("Hey, would someone like to find me...[thing xyz]?") reads as I'd like someone here to get me that at their earliest convenience, while "Ettiskö joku hei...?" ("Hey, would someone find me...[thing]?") can come across a bit as a If this is not done right this minute, I will be mad about it.

Also, to toss in another polite word to start the request with - "Ehtisitkö", ie, would you have time to. It can be used in the literal sense, but a lot of time I'd classify it as just existing to make the request polite rather than actually asking if someone has the time to do it, the same way as any of the rest

Don't need the word please when you can just say 'jookoosta kookosta'
