How do you say 'like' in Finnish?
If you mean like, as in "I am strong like a bull." then like is "kuin" in Finnish.
E.g. "Olet tyhmä kuin apina." means you are dumb like a monkey.
If you meant like, as in "I like this cake because it's moist." then like is "pidän" in Finnish.
Verbs in Finnish are tricky though, because a verb conjugates depending on who or what is doing it.
The above example would be "Pidän tästä kakusta koska se on kostea."
Examples:
to like - pitää
I like - pidän
you like - pidät
she/he likes - hän pitää

On what date exactly did Finland officially join the Axis?
They were never a de facto Axis as they never singed the Tripartite Pact they are classified as a co-belligerent.

I think that the Continuation War is when they joined as the Axis wasn't at war with the Soviets in 1939 but that's just me.

Is Finland part of Scandinavia-?
No. I'd say Finland isn't, but some people happily extend the term "Scandinavia" to Finland, along with Iceland and some even to Svalbard and Greenland.
Geographically, Finland isn't really, Iceland most certainly isn't, and neither is Greenland or Svalbard.
If you think about it: "Is Finland a Scandinavian country?" No, not really... But I'd happily group Finland with Scandinavia long before I'd group Scandinavia with Germany or Holland.
If you get what I mean...
Either way it goes, Finland is most certainly a Nordic country, and is part of the Nordic Council. Finland is a native of Norden!
