Finland Has A Perfect Word To Describe Drinking Alone At Home

Have you often in conversations been searching for that perfect, specific word to mirror exactly your thoughts but couldn’t find it? The struggle is real.

But this ain’t an issue for Finland, where a very popular quaerantine activity has been labeled specifically. 

The word is kalsarikännit, it illustrates the urge to get drunk at home, alone in your underwear, or pajamas and it can be used whenever you open a bottle of wine in the middle of the week to cheer you up while your friends are not around. Pretty close to our current situation, doesn’t it?

Moreover, in order to celebrate the word, they have also created two emojis you can casually send to your friends and laugh it out or share your ‘pain’.

There are more 55 emojis alike, created to express hard-to-explain Finnish emotions.
