This is how foreign tourists pronounce Käärijä’s name

Tourists visiting Helsinki were faced with a real place when they had to pronounce the name of an artist in a foreign language.

Wrapper is not necessarily the easiest name for a foreign speaker, because a name combining several vowels with a doubled letter ä is quite Finnish.

Iltalehti conducted a poll in the center of Helsinki, asking foreign tourists how they would pronounce the name of Finland’s Eurovision representative Käärijä.

The Swiss took part in the recitation talks JonasBritish Already, Australians Caroline and Laura and those living in France and Germany Anton and Jean.

– I have no idea. Squirrel? You already guess.

You can watch the hilarious end result in the video.
