After we were all back from our longer or shorter winter holidays we actually wanted to bae korvapuusti. Sadly this had to be postponed to a later date because Meike and Iare in quaratine. But we decided to still meet via Zoom and have a little chat and play skribbl.io and we actually had a lot of fun! Because Meikes building is going to be quarantined at least til 21.3. the next meeting will be via Zoom as well. We thought about telling each other a little about the music culture next time.
At the beginning our chat was pretty corona based because of what happend in Lapinkaari and to many students there. We also discussed the cultural differences between Finnish Covid recommendations and other european countries. I’m very impressed that the finnish way of dealing with covid works so well. The governement gives recommendations and out of respect most people stick to it. In many other european countries the system is different. Based on rules and the police is checking if the population is following tehm. To be honest i like the finnish system a lot better.
After some discussions about Donald Duck (Aku ankka) and his nephews Tick, Trick and Track (Tupu, Hupu and Lupu) we came to Mickey Mouse which is directly translated in finnish to Mikki Hiiri (hiiri=mouse).
Because Jasmins german is 100 times better than our finnish we started to play skribbl.io in german which actually worked out just fine. I managed some terribly bad drawings but the girls were able to guess them. One of the hardest words to draw and guess were “Anzug” = suit = puku. But we also had Mütze = beanie= pipo and i think the finnish version is by far the cutest. Also Leiter = ladder = tikapuut; Lehrer =teacher = opettaja and Fuß = foot= jalka. We also found out that finnish language can stock words together as we do it in german. For example the word ice cream = jäätelö (jää and telö) or octopus = mustekala ( muste = ink; kala = fish) or merilehmä (sea cow). But the best word of the day was töötätä! 😉
looking forward to our next meeting next week
