Cultural Insight
Becky: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight.
Nico: Another word to show you really like something is, of course, to say you love it. For example, if you love chocolate, you can say rakastan suklaata! When you're in Finland, remember to try the infamous salmiakki! This is a very salty candy, basically licorice flavored with ammonium chloride. You’ll either love it, or hate it, there is no in between!
