Which costume finnish people were?
I am currently wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Pretty normal western clothes, except we usually wear clothes that are more practical than fashionable, because the weather in general is awful and the cold, dark winter usually lasts for 5-6 months per year and it's surrounded by spring, summer and fall where it rains a lot. Not much room for fashion there.

In a formal way it's "Olen kuusitoista vuotias"
Olen = I am
kuusitoista = sixteen
vuotta = years old
In an informal way it's "Oon kuustoista", "mä(ä) oon kuustoista", "meikä/meiti on kuustoista" (<--- boys/tomboys use mostly that). We don't usually add the "vuotta" (the years old) in the end of the sentence. We just say the number of our age.

How does the finnish weather affect the finnish people?
The same way weather affects in every other country. Now we are all quite happy because of the warm weather of spring changing to summer, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the hot days of summer spent on lakes or by the ocean, the first snow is always a happy day and the sunny days of January, February and March make the snow sparkle by the way you need to see for yourself. Then there are those days when the sky is pouring and mud is all you can see or the few dark days at the end of December when the sun comes out only for couple of hours a day. That's really not as bad as it sounds and it's all paid back in the Midsummer when the sun stays on the sky for few weeks straight.
How do you say 'I miss having good conversations with you' in Finnish?
Finns don't use that actual phrase, but well, in Finnish it's "Tarkoitat minulle maailmaa". Other phrases for that meaning are for example "Olet koko elämäni" (= You are my whole life) and "Merkitset minulle todella paljon" (= You mean a lot to me).
Might depend on the context I'm afraid.
The end: loppu
This is the end: The translation depends on the meaning of the English sentence. If you're saying: This is the end of it all!, it would be: "Tämä on kaiken loppu!"
If you're saying: This is your end!, it would be: "Tämä on loppusi!".
Words in Finnish change according to the situation, by having pre- or suffixes added to them.

Here's the lyrics in Swedish:
Nu får det bli allvar
Hunnerna ska bort
Bad om starka killar
Vad är ni för sort?
Är det sämsta gäng jag nån'sin sett
Blir inte lätt, men fattar du
Att jag ska göra män av er nu
Lika lugn som skogen
Lika stor som den
Samla kraft inom er
Gå mot vinst igen
Men jag ser ni är
Ett hopplöst gäng
Fattar ingenting ännu
Men det ska nog bli män av er nu
Jag klarar inte av det här
Det är rena rama natta´
Borde nog ha gått på gymmet då och då
Han skrämmer ihjäl de där
Hoppas att han inte fattar
Borde nog ha lärt mig simma eller så
Bli en man!
Vänd aldrig om när ni ser ett hinder
Bli en man!
Ni äger styrkan och kraft att tro
Bli en man!
Eld, luft och vatten har samma styrka
Tillsammans så kan ni bygga er en bro
Tiden rinner från oss
Snart så blir det strid
Lyd min minsta order
Får ni ro och frid
Kämpa för vår jord
Är mitt sista ord
Annars återvänder du
Hur kan jag göra män av er nu?
Bli en man!
Vänd aldrig om när ni ser ett hinder
Bli en man!
Ni äger styrkan och kraft att tro
Bli en man!
Eld, luft och vatten har samma styrka
Tillsammans så kan ni bygga er en bro
Vänd aldrig om när ni ser ett hinder
Bli en man!
Ni äger styrkan och kraft att tro
Bli en man!
Eld, luft och vatten har samma styrka
Tillsammans så kan ni bygga er en bro
