I wish my readers a very Merry Christmas and success in 2025. Thank you all for 2024, and I hope to continue communicating next year. Please be so kind as to listen to the popular Finnish Christmas carol sung in English here.
As always, I’ll send Christmas cards in good time so you have time to send them to your loved ones and add your wishes.
Una rosa sanguinis
ab ovo usque ad mala
comes fidelis
est.
Ille pulsat sine
praecepto
aliter
quam cerebra.
Eos
docere tenemus.

One rose of blood
From
cradle to grave
Is
a faithful companion.
It beats without command,
Which
the brain does not do.
We must teach gray
Thinking
cells.

In 1894, L. L. Zamenhof, who was the original creator of the constructed language Esperanto, proposed a complete series of reforms to Esperanto (in other words, an Esperantido). It is notable as the only complete Esperantido to be authored by Zamenhof himself, and it was presented in response to various reforms that had been proposed by others since the language's publication in 1887. The project was eventually rejected by the language's speakers, and subsequently even by Zamenhof himself. Some of the proposed reforms were used in another constructed language, Ido, beginning in 1907.

Here is one of my verses in Ingrian and English with my drawing.
Hic es nimis calido.
Aestate pote ir ad ibi,

Käyn joen rantaa kera veen.
Koht vesi käyp ilma minnua.
Sellain ono aika inhimiselle.
See ei muuta virran liitsoja.
Neet tuulees läkäjäät
i tyynees sohisevat.

I go along the river bank with the water.
Soon, the water flows without me.
That’s the time for the humans.
It does not change the face of the stream.
It gossips in the wind
and whispers in silence.

Vaa yks syän |
Vain yksi sydän |
Only One Heart |
Monet ovat kirjat |
Monet ovat kirjat |
There are so many books |
nevvoja täyn, |

That guide you |
mut vaa yks |

But only one |

That knows |

Hello,
My grandmother was Ingrian, but
because she passed away more than 50 years ago, I must brush up on my
memory. That’s why I found the morphological dictionary of Soikkola
Ingrian on the Web as a bull eye. Estonian Research Information System
is behind the Ingrian language project, and the dictionary is one of
their studies so far.
When I installed the audio dictionary application, Windows didn’t find it safe. Despite that, I installed the application, and it works fine with the dictionary. If you install an audio application and complications occur, you can’t complain about them. It goes with all these kinds of Alfa versions.

Wiktionary does not recognize the words mantaki (Nirvi 303), tistaki (Nirvi 588), and suntaki (Nirvi 550).
Nirvi plus a number refers to the dictionary of Ingrian dialects edited by R. E. Nirvi in 1971. Alla kuva kirjan nimilehdestä, missä on
Below is a picture of Nirvi’s dedication inscription to academician Kustaa Vilkuna.
PS If you wonder why I am using the English language here, it’s because only some people interested in Ingrian understand Finnish. On the other hand, my Russian knowledge is almost at the zero level.
I have written this poem using the Ingrian language
that my grandmother spoke. I checked the conjugations with Wiktionary. I
also looked up words from the dictionary of Ingrian dialects that I
received a week ago, edited by R. E. Nirvi in 1971.
Miun troppa on olt kivegäs.
Siks en pölkää orastuvaa surmaa.
Miä vaa sallin, jod en synny

My path has been rocky.
That’s why I’m not afraid
of impending death.
I only hope I’m not born
on this planet again.
This world is not
a lovely destination.

Why am I sad?
Why can't I do anything?
Fate has stuffed me with ideas,
But has forgotten to give me
The resources.
Now, I walk and blame myself.
How happy would I be
If I thought less and I could do
More.

When the memories of youth’s sins
Knock at your old age heart
Don’t open the door.
The open-door policy doesn’t
Make the sins disappear
But paints black also
The wisdom of maturity.

I saw a little
angel at the edge of the forest.
As I approached her, I saw her crying.
Without asking, she replied:
The forest no longer responds to invitations.
Flora has left this world
because its cruelty shocked her.
Soon, Fauna will be gone, too.
They go to another planet,
where the Creator brings oxygen and water,
but not people.
Why are you crying?
Isn't that a good thing?
We Guardian Angels die
together with those we protect.
We have failed in our mission.
Then we sat on the rock hand in hand
to wait for the end of this world.
I winked at the angel and asked:
"Is this going to take long"?
The girl couldn't be
without smiling.
