So geographically kinda is.

I was talking about fucking peninsula. So, yes Finland is not a historical cultural-linguistic part of Scandinavia, but it is geographically.

Or we should wait for some Finn to explain the situation?

[hauta]

To waste his time, explaining the situation? Nope..

[Bodomholic]

I believe in iPot, Necroraven and J_H_C.

The question "is Finland a part of Scandinavia?" requires more than just "yes" or "no" kinda answers.

[Leandro]

Yeah yeah, talk to batman

[hauta]

Finland is a Nordic country, NOT a part of Scandinavia. Just take a look at all those Scandinavian countries and Finland- there is absolutely nothing in common! Ask your geography teacher and see.

[PoseyCOBHC]

"Fennoscandia and Fenno-Scandinavia are geographic and geological terms used to describe the Scandinavian Peninsula, the Kola Peninsula, Karelia and Finland."

Meaning it includes:
Scandinavian peninsula
AND
finland.

If finland were a part of the scandinavian peninsula, it would have said only the scandinavian peninsula. But since finland is not included, it says scandinaviand peninsula AND finland. You're wrong. Now shut the fuck up, suck it up, and move on, because you're acting like a fucking 3 year old who didn't get what she wanted.

Scandinavia + Fennoscandia + Kola Peninsula = Scandinavian peninsula

Holy shit, bodomholic! How many times do you need this explained to you?
Finland is not part of scandinavia!
It may be next to it, but that doesn't mean its part of it. Huge difference.

Let's put it this way: the computer that you're on right now is in front of you. Is it a PART of you, though? No. So is finland part of scandinavia because its NEXT to it? That is also a no.

Keep trying, you're getting nowhere.

[hauta]

In every single place you look at you find different info My geo students book, the link above, other web pages... Big deal, let's open a geo thread and fight over there! However.. In fact, why do you want it to be a part of Scabdinavia so much?

I hate when people are giving a shitty examples.

It's not that I want to, it's about what's a fact.

As much as I see it, Finland is not a part of Scandinavia, but it is a part of Scandinavian peninsula.

[PoseyCOBHC]

Just shut up already. No means no. And grabbing useless contradicting information isn't doing anything.

And my example was fine, it made sense and proved a point. The computer in front of you isn't a part of you just like finland isn't a part of the scandinavian peninsula only because its next to it. I didn't say you had to think it was good, I only said it to prove a point you were missing because you're fucking retarded.

Just because you say "no" it doesn't mean it's "no" in general.

And I won't shut up until some Finn explains this.
Because neither you or me live there, so we can't know more then people who live there.

[PoseyCOBHC]

I wasn't the only one who said no. Three other people told you the same fucking thing. What are you gonna do, keep whining until finland and the scandinavian peninsula combine?

And just because I'm not from there doesn't mean I can't look at a fucking MAP, or GOOGLE IT. Same for everyone else.

There is no need, you are wrong, it is like saying Serbia is Europe when it's clearly Europe's arsehole.

Edit: I guess I was being harsh, Kosovo is more like Europe's arsehole for stealing land from Serbia.

Serbia is more like a pimple on Europe's arse.

Again, a shitty example.

[hauta]

Ask your geography teacher! It is not a Scandinavian country! I already asked mine and she said that it's not, I asked a girl, studying tourism at the university of Sofia and she said that it's not, a lot of the members of the forum say that it's not.. What else do you want us to show you just to prove that in this case you're wrong? I'm not shouting, I'm not trying to offend you, but do you actually believe in every single shit you see in Wikipedia? Better stop reading it that often- I already found some things, that are totally wrong there. In fact, even you can write something there without knowing if it's true or not.

Hi everyone. Read this, it's from the wiki article on Scandinavia. "While the term Scandinavia is commonly used for Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, the term the Nordic countries is used unambiguously for Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Iceland, including their associated territories (Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and the Åland Islands).[20] Scandinavia can thus be considered a subset of the Nordic countries."

This is correct.
