There were a few typos in the original
text:
mysteevinen -> mysteerinen
evi -> eri
renholla -> rennolla
Some capital initials were also missing.
The exact meaning of "syntisäkki"
(literally "the sack of sins") was
somewhat unclear to me. Usually it is
used to mean the imaginary record of
reproachable deeds.

LOOKING for FINNISH and ESTONIAN native speakers.
Hi folks! I'm Daniel. I'm a would-be university graduate. My major is computational linguistics.
I'm really desperate for help! I'm in search of a Finnish/Estonian native speaker who needs someone to help her/him learn some Russian or ENGLISH. I'm doing a paper on Finnish and Estonian morphology and ANY help would be highly appreciated!!!!!!! At its best it would be great if you could help me translate some sentences into your language. And let me know what I can do for you. I speak ENGLISH, GERMAN, RUSSIAN and a little bit POLISH. Please, e-mail me if you are interested!!!! IT'S URGENT!

Re:
Hello Marcos,
It is "Mitä kuuluu?" It is very polite question and you can answer: "Kiitos hyvää (+entäs sinulle or teille)." Another similar question is "Kuinka voit (voitte)?" if we know that a person has been ill lately or is old one. And answer: "Hyvin, kiitos." or "En oikein hyvin"
More everyday question is "Miten menee?" and answer: "Hyvin/okei/Joten kuten/Surkeasti". We (Finns) don't always ask these questions (we are not so polite) if we see each other often. We say only "Hello!" = moi, hei, terve, huomenta and start speaking about the weather or other things.
