Countless times I've had to correct friends in conversations about this simple word. It's a Finnish word, and this is how my Finnish ancestors taught me how to say it.
Today is the day where Finnish people like myself celebrate St. Urho's day! I was surprised today to learn that many people didn't know what St. Urho's day was. Of course, I shouldn't be surprised because it happens every year. So hopefully my explanation of this holiday will help the awareness of St. Urho's great accomplishment.
