Guide to Finnish SFF: Emmi Itäranta
A guide to Emmi Itäranta and her Philip K. Dick and Arthur C. Clarke Award nominated book, Memory of Water. Learn how to pronounce Emmi Itäranta and the names of the characters and places in the book.
I forgot to say in the video that Liuhala, Kanto, and Muromäki are actual Finnish surnames. Also, forget what I said about the names being Finnish names from the future: a lot of the first names are real names, I just hadn't come across them before filming this video... except for Noria, which sounds very Finnish, but isn't an actually used Finnish name (again, as far as I know right now).
Please let me know if you have any wishes for these videos in the future, for SFF authors, or just Finnish SFF words you would like to learn how to pronounce. I am already planning videos on Hannu Rajaniemi and Johanna Sinisalo.
