Wooohooo!!! 1 SBD!!!
Thank you very much :)
When you go to Wikipedia and look up palindrome it says:
"According to Guinness World Records, the Finnish 19-letter word saippuakivikauppias (a soapstone vendor), is the world's longest palindromic word in everyday use"
I'm just wondering how often soapstone vendor comes up in Finnish conversations... and why.

Whaaaaaaaat!!!!! I use it every day? Wanna hear it in a sentence? An example?
Here you go: "Mä vaan mietin että kuinka usein saippuakivikauppias tulee esille suomenkielisissä keskusteluissa... ja miksi?"
Now I'm not entirely sure if you understand Finnish, but in case you don't and google translation tried to sell you 1000 litres of milk (I'll explain that to you later), I just said what you said. You know the "I'm just wondering..." sentence.
:D :D
I'm sorry. I have to laugh at my own jokes. Who else would laugh at them if I didn't? No-one! I SAID NO-ONE! :D
Nice idea. I tried Google translate and it said:
"I just wondered how often a soapstone dealer would come up in conversations in Finnish ... and why?"
Not bad at all I would say.
Nobody tried to sell me any milk. Should I feel left out?
Concerning my Finnish, I can tell you that it's very limited. I know some words, concepts and sentences.
For example: kalsarikännit or kännissä kuin käki and
heipä hei

Google translator has gotten better. Finnish used to be really hard for it a while a go. Especially if there was any dialect or commonly spoken language in it.
I think dealer sounds hazy. Someone trying to sell you something from the trunk of his car. But that might just be in my head.
If your not Danish, you shouldn't feel bad about the milk part thing.
Perfectly good sentences! You go a long way with those words. You can even combine those: "Heipä hei, kännissä kuin käki ja kalsarikännit!" :)
