Loan words from Scandi are more common than you think. Eg Hei is a common greeting, tykätä is a common verb. For nouns there is even a whole paradigm for loans, a large number of which are Scandi. They are not necessarily easy to recognise since they undergo sound changes eg plaasteri becomes laasteri

Loan words, yes, but that has very little to do with the grammar and structure of the language. "Jag tycker om dig" [sv] translates to "Tykkään sinusta" [fi], which isn't anywhere near the Scandic.

Also, it's "laastari", not "laasteri", so uh.

Oh well if I made a spelling mistake that obviously invalidates my whole point. Thank you for teaching me that Finnish is a very special language -- just like the Finns -- such an amazing an unique people ;)
