One sentence, appearing to come from a Finnish user, has been widely repeated on social media and reads “Nato ei voi tallentaa Suomea”. The phrase seems to have been translated via an online translator, and appears to be an attempt to write “Nato cannot save Finland.”

There are however two words for the English word ‘save’ in Finnish: tallentaa (to save in the sense of recording or storing, for example a document) and pelastaa (to save in the sense of rescuing).

Gorm = blue
Chónai = lives, in the sense of “he lives in a house”
Ábhar = matter, in the sense of “there are three states of matter”

Add to that “daoine gorma”, or blue people, is the irish for Black people
