What does the blue on the Finland flag mean?
what does the blue and yellow stand for on the swedeish flag I dont think anyone knows for certain but there are many theories. According to the mythology, the Swedish 12th century king Eric the Holy saw a yellow cross in the sky as he landed in Finland during the First Swedish Crusade in 1157. Seeing this as a sign from God he adopted the yellow cross against a blue background as his banner. It has also been suggested that the Swedish flag might have been a resistance flag against the Danish flag, which is red with a white cross, and which has been known since 1219. According to this theory, the Swedish flag was created during the reign of King Charles Knutsson, who also introduced the Coat of arms of Sweden in 1442. The national coat of arms is a combination of King Albert of Mecklenburg's coat of arms of 1364 and King Magnus Birgersson's coat of arms of 1275, and is blue divided quarterly by a golden cross pattée. Other historians claim that the Swedish flag was blue with a white cross before 1420, and became blue with a golden cross only during the early reign of King Gustaf Vasa, who successfully liberated Sweden from the temporary tyranny of the Danish King Christian II in 1521.also this is top secret really any teachers dosent even know this so we give it to ypu for trying wiki answers thanks

The forests and the lakes, I'd imagine. Finland has some really beautiful nature, and it stands up to its nickname "the Land of Thousands of Lakes".

Is finnish a Germanic language?
As a language to learn for a foreigner, yes it is a hard language to learn.
Reasons for this are, that there are many forms of words that don't follow a simple rule, and that spoken language differs from written language.
Therefore much must be memorized, or learned through using the language.
Many words in every-day conversations are shortened, so someone talking as everything is written will not sound natural, although he/she will make him/herself understood.
On another note, Finnish only uses two symbols that aren't in the English alfabet.
So at least you don't have to learn many new symbols/writing.
Where did Finland get its name from?
