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.
Jottai se miäki ymmärrän.
Miun pittää läätä messän kera.
Hääki tarvitsoo rakkautta
niku kaik elon olendit.

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.

Here is one of my poems in Ingrian, Finnish, and English.

Vaa yks syän |
Vain yksi sydän |
Only One Heart |
Monet ovat kirjat |
Monet ovat kirjat |
There are so many books |
nevvoja täyn, |
neuvoja täynnä, |
That guide you |
mut vaa yks |
mutta vain yksi |
But only one |
ono syän |
on sydän |
Heart |
ken tiitää |
joka tuntee |
That knows |
siun. |
sinut. |
You. |

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.

Miä oon väsynt.

Oon nukkunt vähä,

Oon nukkunt vähä
ku pölhö pydä hirilöijä.
Miä vaa sallin,

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.

My guitar sounds sad
While being without you.
It has lost a sense
Of sweet love.

People,
those geniuses,
solve the problem by creating a new,
more significant problem.
In that way, the primary concern
seems insignificant.
The man is clever.
We always have a key
for the door of solutions.

Lyrics of the song:
A Peaceful Christmas
I wish the whole world
A Peaceful Christmastime,
And I hope love occupies
Our hearts forever.
Look at the stars.
They are to love.
Look at the stars.
They are for us

The theme of this Christmas greeting is both inner and outer peace. Because of this, the song tells about the greatness of the universe and our responsibility to be constructive. My Arabic-language card supports stability, especially in Palestine. I would also have made a card in Hebrew where the Jews would celebrate Christmas.
On a peaceful Christmas, I want to thank all my readers and wish you a peaceful Christmas and success for 2024.
Why are they all over again selling postcards of their own world?
I have written the words to the tune of the Finnish folk song "Niin minä neitonen sinulle laulan kuin omalle kullalleni." The song's name is impossible to translate literally, but it means, "I am singing to you, my young one (maiden), like you were my darling."
Verse 01
I'm singing from the bottom of my heart to make the world a peaceful heaven. Please, Mother Earth, release your angels from the woods we've fully disregarded.
Verse 02
Let your supernatural creatures tell us there is one unbiased God. He gives every living being a spirit and redeems it when the time's up.
Verse 03
Please give me a sign that it is the worst of sins to steal the life of a child so that I have the strength to defend God's gift whatever books are telling.
Please enlarge the music sheet by clicking.
Please forward this postcard to support a ceasefire in the Middle East
I'm sad,
because people near me
don't care about
what is happening
in Palestine.
