Elvis is an I-stem

by HML

It’s been a busy year for Finland. First Lordi wins the Eurovision contest, and now this tidbit from BBC News:

Like the boy at the party with cheese straws stuck up his nose, [Finland] has been caught doing something vaguely disturbing – indulging a penchant for Latin.

Finland is keen to breathe new life into Latin, with the language being used for radio broadcasts and even Elvis impersonators.

Read the full article by Jonny Dymond and listen to a Finnish professor singing Elvis songs in Latin. And if your grammar is a little rusty, here’s a review of the third declension. Classical studies is never dull!

Thanks to Eric and Linda for the link!
