lol as a person who's currently looking into the Finnish language it makes my inner language nerd happy that those last three hashtags are all versions of the word run/running and that I have absolutely no idea what the difference is :)

@zersiax Hehe, glad that you're interested in it. Juoksu and Juokseminen are "running", exactly the same thing. RolleJuoksee is "Rolle runs", a hashtag of my own where I just track all my runs I post here.

ok ... so why do juoksu and joukseminen both exist? :) Is one puhukiela?
in reply to Florian

@zersiax Both can be used freely in both spoken and written language. I have no idea why they both exist. There's also "juoksuaika" word which is NOT related to running, but means the estrous cycle of a female dog... I don't know the etymology of these words.
