I'm a Finn and although I didn't truly grow up there, I've always considered Finland a Scandinavian country. You can be pedantic and say that because of geographical and linguistic reasons, it's not Scandinavian, but outside of those specific contexts, no one really cares.

I grew up thinking Finland was also Scandanavian, but I'm a dumb american, and so Geography isn't really my forte.

My girlfriend is Swedish-Finn and she was the one who insisted.

If you didn't grow up in Finland, have you at least been back to visit? Helsinki is such a great city.
