Veep Episode Discussion Thread S07E06 - "Oslo" Close. User account menu. 115. Season 2, first two eps we thought were a definite dip, especially S2E1 neither of us enjoyed. Finns have commented that her accent is more Germanic. Some bits you can sort of tell what she's trying to say, some of it I can't even understand without subtitles and when speaking English, her accent is nothing like the Finnish accent.

115. But the joke checks out.

Gary helps Catherine plan a big event. The third season sees Selina on the campaign trail, producing some of the most memorable moments of the entire series. 115 votes, 567 comments.

Press question mark to learn the rest of the keyboard shortcuts. Not really. She absolutely kills it as Minna anyway, so I'd rather have her with bad Finnish than a Finnish actor with no comedic timing. “Clovis” is not a bad episode by any metric, except by comparison to the rest of Veep’s episodes.Selina stops at Clovis’s headquarters and meets with its CEO to court the tech vote.

I keep reading about how she’s a sociopath. But I disagree. Or is there a better season/episode we can jump to (some publications seem to highly regard S5)? 'Suomi olet rakas maa' vs. 'Suomi olet raskas maa' = Finland you're lovely vs. Finland, you're hefty. Posted by 1 year ago. In other words, everythin… Plot: Selina tries to arrange a meeting via her Finnish contact Minna. But I'm one of the 0.0001% of Finnish speaking fans of the show, so it's not a big deal. However Selina was not bothered because she knew minna was was behaving out of honest self interest.

Further contrasted with Minna who also technically backstabbed Selina. But you do have to go."

Still an amazing performance.They also haven't really nailed the Finnish stereotype. But the joke checks out. Our humor is usually dark and sarcastic, actually pretty close to British sense of humor. He swore his accent was more German.As far as I can tell from Google Translate the sentence is correct, and she is saying "Finland, you are fat." While its (in my opinion unnecessarily) vulgar we quite liked season one and thought it was pretty funny. Jonah and Amy … Press J to jump to the feed. Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I’m really interested to hear how people think the storylines and character development would have gone if things had been different. She is fully aware of what she’s doing but she justifies it by other people being dishonest ‘first’. I'll start with my favourite in the comments.BEN: "Your champagne's been laced with polonium. Although usually you only use the plural form kassit (bags).The lines she reads are real Finnish, but the pronunciation varies from barely recognizable to gibberish. But the jokes in Veep work since the point is to just have the Finns as these socially awkward Nordic people who sometimes have difficulty reading a room, which is close enough.Taught ESL "accent reduction" to a Finn. 'Suomi olet rakas maa' vs. 'Suomi olet raskas maa' = Finland you're lovely vs. Finland, you're hefty. She absolutely kills it as Minna anyway, so I'd rather have her with bad Finnish than a Finnish actor with no comedic timing.The Chinese is accurate but the phonetics and accent is atrocious, so i assume the Finnish would be the same story.I'm not a Finnish speaker, but I'd guess that her pronunciation is off. Finnish is a super weird language and not at all related to Swedish, Norwegian or Russian (it's in the same family as Hungarian.) Also kassi (=bag) really is a eufemism for a scrotum in Finnish, so the joke about bagman Gary later in the episode also makes sense.
