I realize this is a loooong shot, but thought I would ask all the same. As the title says, anyone here from Finland (or living here, at least?)

My brother in-law is Finnish, does that count? Lol

Kinda, I think? Lol! Has your brother had any WLS before?

He hasn’t, but I’m scheduled for January 18th

One of my best friends is Finnish.

I finish what I start, does that count?

Kind of doubt it, but,it should qualify you for Santa's Nice List! Yeah, the very short one. And LustyDraconianMaid yours in the absolute first choice if I ever win a lottery and can afford travel. Has been for years and years!
My opthamologist is Finnish, from the area where much Swedish is spoken so she is Trilingual, Finnish, Swedish and English, and suspect Russian and German but totally fluent there.
I'm American and I still fracture English, ask my Bari-Pals in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. And my Canadian cousins(yep a whole branch on my Family Tree) they gave,up correcting me long ago. Happy Christmas Everyone!???

Oh hey, that's pretty neat! I know there's some different areas in the US with lots of Swedish and Finnish peoples, though to be honest, I'm not sure where specifically. But yeah, a lot of people here are bi or trilingual, which is nuts! I'm struggling to speak Finnish myself, since it's one of the hardest languages in the world. But I'll get there (someday.)

Either way, happy holidays to you and everyone else! ❤️
