I really don’t.
Finns are infamous for disliking being physically close to each other in public with strangers. You do not intrude on anyone’s personal space, and the volume of that space is worth making jokes about. So being a foreigner is irrelevant in this context, one simply doesn’t sit next to a Finn on a bus. I don’t know what the translation is of the OP post, but I’m sure it’s rude.
Indeed. For the Finns, the hardest part of the coronavirus pandemic was adjusting to 2m of social distancing, down from their preferred distance of 5m.
I don't know that last phrase, but "perkele" is a swear word, used kind of like the F word (but different translation).
Thanks for explaining.
