The Finnish Language
- Finnish is natively known as Suomi and belongs to the Uralic, Finnic language family.
- There are approximately 5.8 million native speakers worldwide.
- Finnish is one of the two official languages of Finland (alongside Swedish) and is one of the few non-Indo-European languages in the European Union.
- Finnish has 15 grammatical cases, extensive agglutination (words built by adding suffixes), and vowel harmony, making it notably different from most European languages.
- The longest Finnish word in everyday use is often cited as epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömyydellänsäkäänköhän, demonstrating the language's agglutinative nature.
- Finnish is remarkably phonetic; words are pronounced exactly as they are written, with each letter having a single consistent sound.
- The Finnish national epic, the Kalevala, compiled by Elias Lonnrot in 1835, was a major inspiration for J.R.R. Tolkien in creating his Elvish languages.
- Finnish migration to Australia has been modest, with small communities established since the gold rush era and post-World War II. The Finnish-born population numbers around 5,000, with communities in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. Finnish clubs and saunas serve as social gathering points, and the community celebrates Finnish traditions such as Midsummer (Juhannus).
About Chifley
Chifley is a suburb in south-eastern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Chifley is 13 km south-east of the Sydney central business district and is part of the City of Randwick. The postcode is 2036. Chifley is surrounded by the suburbs of Matraville, Malabar, Little Bay and Phillip Bay. The first house built in the Chifley area was Bunnerong House, which was built in 1825. Most land in that area was owned by the Crown; during the Depression of the 1930s, land was leased to people who built homes in the area gradually, over a drawn-out period of time. Chifley was named after Ben Chifley (1885–1951), Australia's Labor Prime Minister at the end of World War II. Randwick Council made the area, which had been part of southern Matraville, a separate suburb in 1964. A large public housing complex was established in the area the 1960s. It featured a number of four- and five-storey buildings, plus some smaller buildings containing bedsit-style accommodation, in which lounge-room and bedroom are combined in one room.
