Here are some Finnish idioms, their literal meaning, the same in English, all collected in the Web.
There are faults as a comment said. Translations are sometimes like folk etymology and Finglish. I tried to correct some.

A friend at work has lent me a book that compares English and Finnish proverbs. While the meanings are similar I love the way the Finnish versions all have a local twist, usually associated with the seasons, the earth or Finnish wildlife.
