Artist Rakku Rechardt on the Moon

"Rakku" should of course be "Rekku". (Pekka "Rekku" Rechardt)

Re: Artist Rakku Rechardt on the Moon

Of course? OF COURSE? Finnish is a crazy language and the CD was totally unclear as to which was the band/artist name, which was the album name, etc. i took a guess and it's a miracle I was as close as I was. Just how many a's, k's and u's in a row are allowed in Finnish?

Thanks for the info, I'll try and fix it soon.

Sorry, Methem, Lellu and all Finn.
We Japanese can't read and pronounce Finnish...
(I think so when I got Pekka Pohjola's album...but the album is wonderful! )

I guess I added the "of course" because I thought the name of the guy might be familiar, as he's a long-time member of the Finnish band Wigwam.

Pardon? You mean names/words such as "Pekkkkka"? I haven't seen anything like that. It's usually two similar letters in a row at max.

Damo, *some* Finnish and Japanese words actually resemble each other and are probably pronounced in a somewhat similar manner. But that's obviously coincidental, not because of any common heritage.

Re: Artist Rakku Rechardt on the Moon

It has been fixxed, (typo intentional), and I guess I should have said Finnish commonly has double letters (a, k, u) that are VERY uncommon in English. No criticism of your fine, but incomprehensible language was intended.

Jim, would you add more Finnish libraries?
If you would, we all Moonies can understand Finnish more and more.

Re: Artist Rakku Rechardt on the Moon

Japanese as Italian and Finnish have lot of open syllabes ( syllabes ending by a vowels) and that make those languages more easy to pronounce according to my very humble own experience in japanese and italian. For example there is only one ending consonant in japanese ( the letter n sometimes pronounced m according to the following one)an another difficulty in japanese is the double consonant -tt- -kk- -ss- and so on , each letter must be pronounced as a single one not as a doublet .

You bet mailo. I am surprised and appreciate that you can express better than us Japanese.
Furthermore, some of us Japanese can't distinguish the pronunciation of "L" and "R" well. That's the reason we Japanese have difficulty to learn English.
