Finnish Embassy Explains How to Quote Madoka Magica in Finnish

Last week, Tokyo's Finnish embassy posted on its official Twitter account how to say a key phrase from the Puella Magi Madoka Magica anime in Finnish. The post included a Finnish translation of Kyubey's signature line "Boku to keiyaku shite mahō shōjo ni natte yo!" or "Make a contract with me to become a magical girl!": Teepa sopimus mun kaa, ja tuu taikatytoks.

The embassy explained that "Taikatytto" is Finnish for "magical girl" (mahō shōjo), and it even posted an audio demo of the phrase in Finnish.

The embassy had previously used its Twitter account to acknowledge that it was aware of the Strike Witches anime series and later to mark the birthday of Strike Witches character Eila Ilmatar Juutilainen.
