Best Answer

Finnish for Santa Claus is Joulupukki, and Finnish is an extremely phonetic language so you just pronounce every letter. The thing that trips most people is that J is pronounced like the Y in Yo. Brief phonetic guide: YO-lu-puk-ki emphasis on first syllable and a slight elongation of k on doubled consonant. No breaks in pronunciation of word, the dashes are there just to show syllabic division.

In Finland, Santa is called Joulupukki, which means "Yule Goat." Interestingly, in Finland, Santa rides a goat around while he gives presents. :)
