"Dad, here's my boyfriend, Dave."

"Hello, I'm Jarmo." "Hi, I'm David."

"Um..."

"Where are you from, David?" "I'm from America."

"From North or South America?" "From North America, from the United States, _to be more precise_."

"The US is an interesting country. I've traveled there about thirty times. All of them, work trips." "Wow, you may know the country better than I do."

"That is very possible."

"Madeleine, you have a nice boyfriend. _Do you mind, if_ I talk with David a bit, one-to-one?"

"Um... I guess that's fine."

"David, let's go to my room."

"_So_ did you take down that bison by yourself." "No. I bought it from the Internet." "Who's that?" ("Mites," makes the question sound softer, more polite.)

"Smoke a cigar?" "Um, I don't know smoke." "Me neither."

"Would you like red wine?" "Well, I would like to drink a glass [lit. glass-ful]"

"Thank you. Nice room you have." "Well, man needs his own room. Is it "a study" in English?" "Yes. Even a fireplace. ('-kin' ending usually means 'also' or 'even')."

"Yeah so, it would be nice to hear about you more. Are you working or are you a student or...?" "I'm working, but I'm trying to get to study IT[-field]."

"What's your IQ?" "Um... Well... it's 135." (At least according to some test in the Web)

"Do you like Trump?"

"Um, well... I'm not a big fan. I don't follow politics very much though."

"Do you like to do sports?" "I do some sports. I play tennis and I swim."

"How much was your Cooper test?" "A few years ago I ran the Cooper test. I guess it was 2950 meters, _if I remember correctly_."

"So _would you say that_ you are good genetic material?"

"Well, I'm not able to answer that question. Maybe your daughter could give a better answer."

"Man, it's fun to grill, so to speak, that boy."

"So, what kind of music do you listen?" "I listen to all sorts of music. Finnish bands too. _How about yourself?_"

"I listen to classical music, but only if it was composed before the 19th century."

"So metal is not your cup of tea[lit. doesn't really sink.]" "What's metal? Maybe I don't want to know. Well, what's your favorite band?"

"_I would say that_ it's Children of Bodom after all." "I see." "It's a Finnish band."

What else do you do in life?" "Weell, I play video games quite a lot, also Finnish games."

"Well done. You're supporting our economy."

"Last question: Why does water not burn?" "Because it's a combustion product."

"That is correct!"

"_Oh yeah, I almost forgot._ Can you hold an axe?"

"_I mean_ can you chop wood."

"I haven't tried yet, but I guess I can do that."

"Man, that was fun. Ok, let's get back to the others."
