	Please, do you know any Finnish idioms with animals? I'd like to compare them with some Spanish ones and check if there's a cultural difference between them. Thank you in advance :) 1 person has voted this message useful

	Uusi kielemme has a page of Finnish idioms, many about animals. Interesting, though I wonder if using these will make me sound like a farmer. http://www.uusikielemme.fi/sayings.html Hidas kuin etana As slow as a snail Very slow. Kuin nuori varsa kesälaitumella Like a young horse in the field Wild and happy Terve kuin pukki As healthy as a billy-goat Very healthy 1 person has voted this message useful
