Nope. Werewolf would translate ihmissusi, which means literally "human wolf". The word itself translates "wolf".

Soot beer.

There is such a concept. You make it, well, from soot and beer. I am challenging Sylkat to have a sip.

Interesting, sounds like the Finnish word for werewolf is closer to 'wolf man'. In Norwegian we say varulv, which is the same as werewolf.

Well.

Norwegian is understood in Sweden, Swedish is understood in Norway, Danish is understood in both countries if you listen carefully, Icelandic is understood in Faroe Islands, Faroese is understood in Iceland.

Finnish is understood nowhere. :mrgreen:
