       Just wondering, do people from other countries do this weird thing Finns do: Whenever a Finn sees a horse, for example from a car window, we have to say "horse"* out loud. Some of us also say "bunny!"** when we see a hare, "fox!"*** when seeing a fox etc. But the horse thing is low key mandatory. As a Finn, you cannot pass a horse without saying you saw a horse. 🇫🇮 * "hevonen" or "heppa" (childlike, horsey)** "jänis!", "pupu!" (childlike) or "jänes!" (dialect)*** "kettu!"

       @magdalenahai It reminded me, how a local passerby in Montenegro was wery confused when he saw me and my mother crouching near the side of the road looking at the grass. He asked if we were okay, to which we shouted happily "A bug!" from the other side of the street, leaving him even more confused.(We a saw a bug)

       @untsuki this is totally understandable, especially if it's a cool, interesting or gorgeous bug.😁

       @magdalenahai It was shiny and somewhat big. We don't see that often where we are from.
