In Finland, both Finnish and Swedish are recognized as official national languages with equal status. Due to the widespread proficiency in English, however, the demand for Finnish translation tends to be relatively low.
At NAIway Translation Service, we occasionally receive requests for Finnish translations of survey questionnaires. Additionally, Finnish is often one of the languages required in multilingual translation projects, such as manuals or food ingredient labels.
NAIway provides high-quality Finnish translations tailored to the content and purpose of each project, handled by experienced translators specialized in the relevant fields.

What is the Finnish language?
Finnish is one of the official languages of the Republic of Finland. Due to Finland's long history under Swedish rule, Swedish was once the dominant language. However, following Finland’s independence, both Finnish and Swedish were designated as official languages. Today, public signage and product labeling commonly feature both languages side by side.
Finnish belongs to the Uralic language family, making it significantly different from most other European languages such as English or German, which belong to the Indo-European family. Despite geographical proximity, Finnish bears little resemblance to neighboring languages like Swedish or Danish. Instead, it is closely related to other Balto-Finnic languages such as Estonian, Sámi, and Karelian.
Finnish Script
Finnish uses the Latin alphabet, consisting of 28 letters: the standard A–Z plus Ä and Ö. However, the letters B, C, F, Q, W, X, and Z are rarely used in native Finnish words.
How to Say “Hello” in Finnish
Hyvää päivää/ˈhyʋæː ˈpæiʋæː/
Primary Regions of Use
Language Family: Uralic → Finno-Ugric → Finno-Permic → Finno-Lappic → Balto-Finnic
Regions Spoken: Finland, the Republic of Karelia in the Russian Federation, and surrounding areas
Key Features of Finnish Grammar
Finnish does not use particles like many other languages; instead, it conveys grammatical relationships through noun inflections.
For example:
autolla = "by car",
autoon = "into the car",
auton = "the car’s" or "of the car".
Moreover, Finnish allows for complex word formation by combining multiple grammatical elements into a single word.
For instance:
autollanikinko? — “Even with my car?”
(auto = car, -lla = by/with, -ni = my, -kin = also/even, -ko = question marker)
Finnish is known for…
Often associated with reindeer, Santa Claus, and the Northern Lights, Finland may seem like a distant and exotic land from Japan. However, it’s actually the closest European country to Japan—excluding Russia—and can be reached in just around 10 hours via direct flight. (For comparison, a direct flight to London or Paris takes about 12 hours.)
Finland is home to globally renowned names such as Nokia, a pioneer in telecommunications, as well as iconic design brands like Iittala (tableware), Arabia (ceramics), and Marimekko (fashion).
