Glück ist ein verhexter Ort

do you ever think about how much of the original trilogy artoo spent silently watching the drama go down with popcorn

correct: ä = ae ö = oe ü = ue (and ß = ss)

INCORRECT: ä = a ö = o ü = u

Leaving out the dots can actually change the meaning of words. Examples:

schwül: muggy, sticky schwul: gay [homosexual] ächten: to outlaw achten: to regard/respect sb./sth. schön: beautiful schon: already, yet

correct: ä = a ö = o

INCORRET ä = ae ö = oe

The Finnish ä/ö are not grammatically umlauts.

For example haen and hän are two separate, unrelated words, former meaning "I retrieve", latter meaning both "she" and "he".

So if you need to type the name Väinö, it's infinitely better to type Vaino (even though this does change the meaning from "calm spot of water" to "persecution") than Vaeinoe which is complete gibberish and difficult to pronounce. It looks even worse when there are long vowels, such as in the surname Jääskeläinen. Do not type Jaeaeskelaeinen, type Jaaskelainen.

I still don’t have much experience with watercolours, but what better way to learn than by painting my favourite characters again and again?
