Here is your much belated answer:

Penny-farthing - Wikipedia

And here is Google Translate to get the English into Finnish:

@Tuomas Woorhees FYI, I actually sent him a private message to explain it back when he asked me the question. I did not realize that he is a Finn. I spent a few weeks in Helsinki and I remember a few words but not nearly enough to communicate in that language.

all you need to know in any language is "go away"

But Google Translate of 2025 is next to perfect , at least it does a great job for Dutch to English, French to English, German to English (and the reverse) - I speak all four (Dutch as my mother tongue, English as my second mother tongue, German at advanced reading level and speaking at B2 level French at advanced reading level and speaking at B1) so I am able to check the quality, and I expect results for Finnish will meet the same standard. I've been observing the progress of the quality of Google Translate throughout the years and the improvement is gigantic and nothing short of amazing, compared to back then when it was introduced (April 28, 2006 to be exact).

I'm trying to learn Finnish... so far, no good.

One of those Vegan people that says "what are you staring at" like as if it's normal to ride a fucking ridiculous thing like that in 2025.

Do vegans look different or something? I thought their farts just smelt like a week old decaying animal.

It's a serious challenge for speakers of Germanic and/or Roman Romance languages - I tried to familiarize myself with it, and had the feeling I was left standing at the bottom of a cliff, looking up trying to detect footholds, but.... nothing. Literally *no* clues to clutch. Which goes for Fins trying to get the hang of Germanic/Roman languages too, I would imagine.

At a first glance, Estonian seems close to Finnish, but I'm not sure if they would understand each other...

Question: are Finnish and Estonian mutually intelligible?
The Ai tells me "no", but: "(...) more like more like Spanish and French or German and Dutch in relatedness rather than truly comprehensible. "
