Well, there's that stupid poem, which works (for a given value of "works") in Finnish and is also a collection of English words...
Mikä runo? ☺
One poem I know of is the following (it dates from the '50s and I believe was written as a parody of T. S. Eliot and other "modernists" – I think the author used the pseudonym "T. S. Eliö"):
Sun on helmet
sun on villas.
Talon join.
Ah, sure Hamlet.
Miss lie into sun?
Miss on ties?
Maiden pimento tie.
Vale helmet vain sullen vein.
Vau, kiitos. Silmiin sattuu. Pitääpä poimia tuosta lisää sanoja listaan.
"Tee" ei näytä myöskään olevan vielä listalla :)
Just saw this one: some
Jos tänä päivänä aikoo menestyä politiikassa, on pakko olla somessa.
Nyt on! :)
How about lava?
Or alas?
Totta! Kiitos! :)
Also teen! I don't know what the rules of this game are, but if names count: Ellen, Eli and Tale. If puhekieli counts: rupee
Had a quick look at the dictionary and found these: aura, hame. Also vale which was already mentioned in the poem above. :)
