"Traditionella samiska kläder är fina."

Translation: Traditional Sámi clothes are nice.

For those not in the know, the Sami are an indigenous people of northern Sweden, Finland, and Norway. They have their own language, which is closely related to Finnish. There are many signs in the far north of Sweden which are written in both Swedish and Sami.

Are vackra and fina interchangeable? Is there a difference in degree or strength of the words?

[kvihma1]

Is "clothes are fine" a wrong translation?

[MarkBorkBorkBork]

Fine can also mean beautiful/nice/pretty. "clothes are fine" should be accepted.

[Zed480516]

The first dictionary translation of "fin"is "fine". It should be accepted. Also, "elegant", "smart", "nice".

[RavenLyd]

Whats the difference between "clothes" and "clothing" in this context? It seems like it should be accepted but it wasn't. Can someone clarify, please? Thanks!

"Sami traditional clothes" are beautiful was rejected?

[Laski-Julle]

Can't I write "Samish" in English?

[MarkBorkBorkBork]

Then you may get confusion with the Samish people. "Samish" shows up in a lot of place names in that region, too, like Samish Bay, Lake Samish, Samish River.

I think the language is Saami
