Why does the Finnish war have two ns?
You mean why the word 'Finnish' has two n's in it? That's just how the word is spelled...
How do you say how old are you in Finnish?
Kuinka vanha olet?
Try to find the proper pronouncing advice. Otherwise it sounds odd.
How do you say Rock On in Finnish?
That is a difficult one...
Literally it would be "Jatka rokkaamista" but that doesn't sound natural.
What does huluu mean in finnish?
I am quite sure you mean "hullu" (hul - lu), which means "[a] crazy [person]".
How do you say Our thoughts are with you in finnish?
'Our thoughts are with you' in Finnish is 'olet ajatuksissamme'. (But this is a really hard one to translate, because it is not very common saying)
Thank you very much in finnish?
Kiitos paljon = Thank you very much / Thanks a lot
Paljon kiitoksia = "Many thanks" literally, as in German: "Vielen Dank"
The latter one should be used in a more formal situation, but there's no significant difference between the two phrases.
