Are you bilingual?

As KoC stated, Finnish grammar is "best" because you read words exactly how they are written. Don't know much about that, but I know that Finnish grammar has shitload of verb flexing as well. I bet it's hard to learn for foreigners, but also suspect that it makes a rich language.
As for Swedish sounding gay, are you referring to their soft whisper like sounds like the one sounding like "hue" in many of their words? You see I understand Swedish just fine, but I can't speak it myself, since those sounds are a bit strange to pronounce.

Well, yeah, finnish is hard :P To be more exact, my english number is better than my finnish number :P
well, since you know how to pronounce swedish, you know what I mean.
in my ears for example; Det är bäst att du går till en läkare
sounds gay, you know... but Ijust mean that it all sounds gay in my ears, like, jag gillar, just because it sounds so soft & chatter, it sounds also stupid xD swedish only seems normal when you read it...

What do you mean Finnish is hard?
Epäjärjestelmällist yttämättömyydelläns äkäänköhän = Can s/he do this even with her/his unorganizedness, I wonder?
That's a pretty close translation so that it stays somewhat short. The last twelve or so describe different opinions of the speaker about the person in question, about the possible result of the action s/he is possibly going to do and other minor vibes.
But that aside, Finnish has the best writing system around. You got that right. Spoken as it is written, only one way to pronounce letters rocks, one little missing letter aside that is but it's so close to others no one even really realises it.

Romanian, English, French and a bit of Hungarian. And studying Japanese.
Also, Finnish sounds a bit like Hungarian xD not surprising, since they're related.
Romanian is awesome too, to bad it's difficult to learn for foreigners, because of the complex grammar. It's a lot like Latin, with a bit of a Slavic influence. You read the way you write and you write the way you read; and you can curse using any word you like from the dictionary, which makes it a very "poetic" language.
