Turku is the best Finnish city
Turku is the best Finnish city
What's the story on that name?
Ancient Russian word for marketplace or trading post or something like that.
>The Finnish name Turku originates from an Old East Slavic word, tǔrgǔ, meaning "market place"
>Turku
Never heard of. Why did you post a picture of Åbo though?
Åbo is based. Went there drinking at metal clubs and I could just speak Swedish everywhere
Really? Was the gig at Kåren or somewhere similar place?
Hard to believe that everyone could speak Swedish.
I lived there for almost a decade and still visit the town once in a while.
but i don't like getting stabbed
If you're a girl you can get raped instead
Turku is known from one the bestests moldy cheese
also very good mustard
but everything else about the place stinks
Turun Sinappi tasted better when it was made by Poles
>I could just speak Swedish everywhere
Really? I have lived my whole life in Turku and you can consider yourself lucky if you hear swedish. The swedish speaking population is like 5% + the fennoswedes who come here to study.
Turku is the fagtown of Finland. Most of the girls there date foreigners too.
What a mätäpaise.
weird but true
it is still ok, can't find any better for the same price, Estonian mustards are great but usually not sold here
They study in Turku because there is completely Swedish speaking University for them in there
It is also the only university in Finland where you can study Pharmacy in Swedish language
>he went to university to become a drug dealer
Turku is the asshole of Finland. A real shitstain.
As long as we beat Tampere it's okay
Is Helsinki the gayest city in Finland?
Do turks live there?
Hm, we still have the word "torg" which means bragaing and "torgovat' " means to trade
targ means marketplace in polish
targować się means discussing the price
Don't remember the name of the place and to be honest it was mostly the bartenders and other service personnel that knew Swedish. I had to speak English with most other people
Torg is also a marketplace or city center in Swedish. We slav naow?
So slav BULLS taught you how to trade I guess
I stayed in Turku for two semesters
Why do you think it was so great?
I was born there. I'm eternally thankful of not being from T*mpere.
unironically there are at least a thousand Turkish Tatars living in Turku and they arent even newcomers but they came in 18th century
And everyone from Tampere would say they are thankful for not being from Turku
This is why Juväsyla is great, nobody has true hatred for it, altough it isnt loved either by anyone
What happens in Jyväskylä?
I've liked living in Turku for the past year. I won't be sorry when I go back to Sweden next month though.
>From Old Norse torg, from Old East Slavic тъpгъ (tŭrgŭ, “trade, trading, commerce; (trade) square”), from Proto-Slavic *tъrgъ. Cognate with Danish torv and Icelandic torg (“a square”).
Yes
Last winter you complained how fucking depressing it is here, or is there more than one of you?
Isn't it pretty much Swedish?
No
It was Swedish for hundreds of years. Then subhumans invaded and only 5% are Swedish now. And now those subhumans complain about muslims doing the same.
It used to be before the Finnish immigrant hordes invaded.
>Τurku
LOOOOOOL SIGA MHN EINAI KAI TOY ALBANOY
the coat of armaments had Swedish colors up until last year when the colors were changed (but the logo stayed the same)
Kys. It might be founded by swedes and people used to speak swedish more but same people have been living in that area for thousands of years.
This, at least 30% of the citizens were always Finnish speakers and Finns founded Turku city in the year 1200 or something, not Swedes.
Swedes simply took into their possession a ready made settlement.
Yeah and the Abos are the true owners of Australia
But swedes brought enlightenment and culture to these barbaric swamps. Otherwise, you'd be just like your brethren living in Russia.
It's not the same thing. Majority have always been ethnic finns just speaking swedish because it was the officialese back then and it was the capital of the region. The area has the oldest finnish settlements.
Well there is more than one Swede here, both in Turku and on Jow Forums, but I do think it was me you're thinking of. Or maybe not, hard to say.
It's not.

there was no Savonians back then, 1000 years ago
they appeared out of thin air to East Finland in the year 1650-ish
Savonians are mutts of tavastians and karelians, yes. The map dont include savonians because they didnt exist back then.
based North-Turkic's
Mikkeli dates at least to 1300s.

Helsinki>>>Turku
I thought about studying in Helsingfors instead of Åbo. But I ended up putting Åbo as my first choice because they gave you extra points for being the first choice and I was worried I wouldn't get in to either.
Why the hell did you come here to study in the first place?
Why not? Studying abroad seemed like a fun idea, Finland is supposed to have top tier education, and you can study in Sweden here so it basically takes all of the hassle out of studying in another country. Plus I found programs that appealed to me here that you can only study back home on the master's level, but here they are availiable on bachelor's level.
Okay, when are you leaving?
In little over a week, maybe 4th june. Then I'll probably stay in Sweden over the summer and come back sometime in late august.
Please stay in Sweden. It's so much more interesting and better place.
I still have two years of studying left. After that, meh, I probably won't come back.
Personally I would like a Finnish friend
Okay good.
I have a friend who is a Fennoswede. He speaks perfect Finnish (like all capital area Fennoswedes do) and perfect Swedish with a thick Finnish accent
abo.fi
I just read what kind of programs they offer, it honestly looks really good. I might actually come and study in Åbo too
STAY AWAYYYYYYY
Rude. We will make Åbo Swedish again.
Why? I am a friendly guy
stop being so xenophobic my man
it's just free education for Swedes who use their education in Sweden provided by our tax payers!
>implying they're not all Savonians there
Is it really free? I know Finns get free education here too so it makes sense I guess
I'm planning on switching majors next semester. I couldn't do it now because you need to study a subject for a while before you can change to it. Probably a good idea since it stops people from changing to a major they've never tried and finding out they hate it. Kind of like exactly what I was worried would happen if I switched. But now I have plenty of time to try it out next term and see if it's really for me.
I dont have anything against swedish people but the swedes here have very toxic attitude towards Finns and Finland and they cant be trusted.
The education is technically free, but at Åbo Akademi you have to pay a membership fee to the student union to be allowed to study there. It costs about 50 euro for two terms.
Alright but you can trust me my mother is Karelian ( unironically )
What major did you pick if you don't mind me asking? I was thinking about choosing farmacology or perhaps bioscience
Cultural analysis. It's fun and interesting, but I thought a different subject might give me better career opportunities after I graduate.
Are there any QT girls?
You have to pay a membership fee for any university. But it's like 100€/year.
Ugliest city with more immigrants than Helsinki. Fuck turku
Sure. Less than in Sweden, definitely, but there's plenty of them.
How do people generally treat/view Swedes?
Turku is vastly inferior and butthurt towards our nu-capital
>Helsinki
Cool. What does liveability actually measure though?
Well enough. Finns get kinda awkward around Swedes, seemingly because they are self concious about their Swedish not being good enough. Finlandswedes are regular people, ålänningar being the best since they don't have any annoying finland-isms and just speak standard swedish. Both treat Swedes fine.
What is even in Turku?
I feel like it's ugly af and people speak with horrendous accent and some even speak Swedish
Turku accent is not even that bad what they say. Savonian sounds 1000x more retarded. And nobody here speaks like they used to, except some old people.
And what is stadi slang then?
Nobody speaks it. It's a false meme created by the böndes. Only ones who speak it are böndes who move here and try to "fit in" but everyone just laughs at them
"nobody speaks it"
>uses word bönde
Oh...
>he does not live in home of KKK ghost and Finnish amphetamine capitol
