That would be the Finnish for "Countess". See
Wikipedia
for much more information than you are ever likely to need.
[Panel 1]
[Nils]
You look a bit down, again.
[Ginny]
I lost my temper.
[Nils]
Oh?
I always feel bad
about doing that too.
[Jaakko]
I don't see why. Surely it
depends what you lost it about?
[Ginny]
Not really. It's just bad manners.
[Panel 2]
[Jaakko]
What, even if you lost it with,
I don't know, Genghis Khan?
[Nils]
That wouldn't be bad manners,
that would be SUICIDE!
[Ginny]
But if I lose my temper with
someone for being rude, I'm
being as bad as they are.
[Jaakko]
I still say it depends
what you lose it over.
[Ginny]
Well, if someone were rude about
all negroes, that would be racism.
Or all Jews, that would be anti-semitic.
Or all women, that's sexism.
[Panel 3]
[Ginny]
So why is it ok to be rude
about ALL aristocrats?
[Nils]
I dunno, Ginny. Envy, maybe?
[Ginny]
I wouldn't mind so much if
the crots would even KNOW
a Lord if they met one!
[Jaakko]
Well, I wouldn't. For all
I know Nils is an Earl.
[Nils]
Graaf.
[Ginny]
There's an easy way
to tell, Jaakko.
[Panel 4]
[Ginny]
If someone tells you he's
an Earl, he's a jerk.
[Jaakko]
Even if it is in a fit of temper?
[Ginny]
A proper Earl would
never mention it.
[Nils]
And a proper Earl would
never lose his temper!
[Ginny]
Which is why I have to do it
for them. Which makes me cross.
[Nils]
It's OK, Ginny. We don't
think you are an Earl.
[Jaakko]
Kreivitär.
