Hehe yesss

1. There were funny nicknames for people from each parish (Ingria, the historical region, was divided by Lutheran parishes), for example Hietamäki – "the ones who shot the pie" (piirakan-ampujii), Tuutari – "cat cookers" (kissan-keittäjii) (there's also a whole song from Tuutari about cooking a cat that accidentally fell into a pot and dividing it between people from different villages), Tyrö – "the ones who sell the dead" (ruumiin-puottaji), Soikkola – "fish chokers" (kalan-kuristajii), Markkova – "porridge-hatted" (huttu-hattuloi), etc.

2. There's a holiday connected to a priest that was killed with an axe in Finland during local Christianization and the same holiday was celebrated in Ingria with multiple things including loudly beating the house walls with household weapons one of which was an axe lmao (I'm saying this without rechecking other sources for the holiday name because I lowkey forgot it and that's what I remember)

3. Ingrian Finns loved (and still do!) coffee just like Suomi Finns (🇫🇮), but were making it in samovars (Russian metal vase-looking things traditionally used to heat and boil water and make tea) on holidays, which would be wild both to Suomi Finns for making coffee in a SAMOVAR and to Russians for making COFFEE in a samovar

4. Sometimes it's easy to distinguish an Ingrian Finnish folk song or poem from a Suomi Finnish one by only one word, for example "emoi" or other typically Ingrian words, emoi is typical for the whole region of Ingria (for example Izhorians have it too, not just Ingrian Finns) and the word itself comes from Proto-Uralic "emo", while the same word (the word means mother by the way) in Suomi Finnish is "äiti" which appeared under Germanic influence.

5. Most of the times the more red there is on a woman's folk dress the younger she is. Also there's a headdress called säppäle that has tin spikes on it!
