Can you guess how these Finnish cities are called in Swedish?
Finland has two official languages: Finnish and Swedish. Many cities, especially the ones that were founded when Finland was part of the Swedish kingdom, have a Finnish and a Swedish name. On road signs you will often see both names.
Hint: Swedish suffix "-fors" means "rapids", suffix "-borg" means "fort"
Some of the wrong answers are totally made-up names, just to add confusion! :-D
