Description
Revontulet = aurora borealisLiterally the Finnish word 'revontulet' means 'fires of fox'. In Finnish/Sami folk-lores, aurora borealis are created when a fox runs on a fjeld and wipes/touches snow with it's tale, so that the snow flies high up to the nightsky.

You're learning Finnish? It's not easy with all the cases and such... You'll have to work hard, but I'm sure you'll be fine ^^ Besides there are many Finns here who're willing to help those studying the language ^^
Happy new year for you too

Yes, I've started a few months ago, but school got in the way. -.- But now I'm on holidays ^^. I've learned the numbers, days of the week, months and now I'm studying about verbs. I can conjugate prety well, and I think I get the whole consonant gradation thingy...oh well, we'll see ^^.
And thank you!
