“Tahi jos virkan vierahalle, mainitsen kylän Matille, vieras sen viieksi panevi, kylän Matti kymmeneksi.”

“1876 Zachris Topelius, Maamme kirja, Chapter 71: Matti (translated from Swedish Boken om vårt land 1875)”

A farmer had three servants. Ivan was Russian, Erik was Swedish and Matti was Finnish.

“Matti on maailman tavallisimman ja kunnollisimman miehen nimi. Sellaiseksi minäkin aion kasvaa⟳, samanlaiseksi kuin isä, vaikka oma nimeni on vähän liian erikoinen.”

Matti was a name for the world's most ordinary and proper man. That's how I too want to grow up to be, like my father, even if my own name is a little too unusual.

“Tästä asiasta olen ihan matti.”

I'm absolutely sure about this thing.
