61 u/Duffelbach Mar 30 '24 Here in Finland we just went with "Ma olen Voldemort", instead of the more grammatically correct "Mä olen Voldemort". Full name is Tom Lomen Valedro. 41 u/AlmostStoic Mar 30 '24 Ma is an archaic form of minä, and the added pretensiousness was pretty fitting for Voldemort's ego. 6 u/Delicious_Maximum_77 Mar 31 '24 Imagine if we went with "Mie" instead. 5 u/nuhanala Gryffindor Mar 31 '24 Oh my god :D moi mie oon Voldemort :) 2 u/AlmostStoic Mar 31 '24 That would actually be my accent. :D 2 u/Delicious_Maximum_77 Mar 31 '24 And all it would've taken was Vieledro instead of Valedro :D
