Also some more interesting common phrase is “voi vittujen kevät ja kyrpien takatalvi”, literally translates to “spring of cunts and blackberry winter of dicks”





Cultural significance is probably just the fact that Finland is north and cold, it’s often joked that the summer is short and with little snow. I can’t really explain it, but the word “takatalvi” feels extremely Finnish in every way, the meaning, the fact that there’s a dedicated single word for the phenomenon, and also just the feeling of that word in your mouth
