Not much, and there actually is a dialect continuum from Eastern Finnish dialects to Karelia, and to Karelian, Lyudian and Vepsian languages. It is impossible to make a demarcation where the Finnish Karelian dialect becomes Karelian language.Karelian and Finnish are pretty much mutually understandable, especially written. Certain long vowels have diphtongized (aa -> ua; ää - > iä), some voiceless sibilants have become voiced (s -> z or zh), many voiceless stops have become voiced, palatalization occurs and consonant clusters are common, as are Russian loans and calques. The plural form of nouns is -loi.It has been assumed the Proto-Baltic Finnic had three dialects: Western, Northern and Eastern. The Western dialect became later Estonian, Võro and Finnish Southwestern dialects; the Northern dialect became the Western and Northern Finnish dialects, and the Eastern dialect became the Finnish Eastern dialects and Karelian language.A very famous piece of Karelian language is Reppurin laulu (The Song of a Peddler):Luadogan meren randamilmie kazvoin kaugobrihasiel mie paimoivirzie lauloin,nyt eis on mieron piha.Karjalan mail kuldakägözet kukkuu,kirikön ristat kiildelöö,taljankka se illoin tanssiloih kutshuu,kandeleh hembieh helisöö.Siel on kallis kandajain,siel mielitiettoni tshoma.Muamokullan kainalost onmutshoin otettu oma.Karjalan mail ...Kierdelin da kierdelin,on selga sumpthsan painos,mieron matkamielenibäomah kodih on ainos.Karjalan mail ...A quick rendition into Finnish would beLaatokan meren rantamillaminä kasvoin nuori poikaSiell’ minä paimenvirsiä lauloinnyt eessä on mieron pihaKarjalan mailla kultakäköset kukkuukirkon ristit killteleehaitari se illoin tansseihin kutsuukannel hempeä heliseeSiell’ on kallis kantajainsiell’ mieltiettyni somaMaammokullan kainalost onrakkain otettu omaKarjalan mailla…Kiertelin ja kiertelinon selkä repun painoss’mieron matkamielinipäoma koti on ainutKarjalan mailla…Pretty similar, I think and quite understandable.

Well, off the top of my head, :There’s a ready to drink tea called Teh Botol (bottled tea). As expected, they would be sold in glass bottles, and are very popular. A few years back they started selling them in carton boxes. But the brand is still the same (So bottled tea, but in a box).On the contrary, there’s a ready to drink tea called Teh Kotak (Boxed Tea). They’re sold on carton boxes and are also very popular. A few years back, they started selling them in bottles (PET bottles). But the brand is still the same (So boxed tea, but in a bottle)Another answer already said this, but: Arisan! So basically, friends (usually girls) would gather monthly to socialize. They also collect a fixed amount of money from each participant (sometimes only $5-$10, but some collect a lot more). After that they would draw name from a bottle (containing names of the participants). The winner wins the pool.So basically if your name is drawn first, it’s like getting a 0% interest rate loan (because you get the monthly amount x number of participant, but the following months you have to pay the monthly fee with no chance of winning again in that round)And… if your name is drawn last, it’s like being forced to save your money in a 0% interest rate savings account. (you have to pay each month, and when it’s finally your turn, you get…. the exact amount you’ve paid so far).I find this fascinating because, whenever their name is drawn, the winner would act like they just got extra money. It’s not extra money! Lol.. not to mention that some participant would sometimes “forget” to pay the monthly fee if their name is already drawn the month before. It’s basically a high-risk, no return investment.However, whenever I point out this fact to my wife, she would just say “Well, that’s not the point. The point is to gather and socialize”.Can’t you just gather and not do the whole money collecting craziness?Indomie. I shit you not. This stuff is crazy popular. To the point that if you would order instant noodle in a food stall, The menu will state “Indomie” for sure. Even if the stuff they sell is actually supermie, or mie sedap, or whatever other brand. We would still call it Indomie.

I'll give you a Finnish perspective. Some points are general, some my own.English is a very beloved language in Finland, and maybe too much. English is the only language many young people learn seriously. English is considered so fancy and cool that many slogans and company names are in English (often without any good reason if you ask me). On the other hand, that't why many people are bored with English: American (and British but not as many) TV series and movies are shown and a good many of new (and often unnecessary) loan words are taken from English. That's why people sometimes write letters to editor or comment on internet conversations that English is a threat to our language.Finnish people often think English is an easy language. That's because of very few person markings, easy plural forming and no cases or genders. Finnish pupils has to learn Swedish and often another language (like German) which are considered more difficult. (Well, Swedish and German are actually more regular than English but because of English is heard more often, it is felt easier.)In comparison to my native Finnish, English seems to be very simple, at least for morphology. Structures look not as heavy as in Finnish. E.g. infinitives can be negated easily: not to do, no to drink. In Finnish the same structure is said in the form of be without doing. The same form can be used in many meanings whereas Finnish uses different forms. For example:I saw them eating = näin heidät syömässä,Eating will make you fat = Syöminen lihottaa sinutThat eating man is my dad = Tuo syövä mies on isäniIf we find the grammar easy (which it is actually not in the high level), the pronunciation is difficult. Vowels have different qualities from Finnish (but for some reasons those qualities are often not taught at school and many people use Finnish vowels instead) and the syllable stress is difficult to put in a right place.Articles are often considered useless by Finns because they are not used in Finnish. English orthography is also considered stupid because it is far from phonemic. Each of our letters represent one phoneme which is very logical.English has taken plenty of vocabulary from other languages which has increased the amount of words a lot. It seems very odd that an adjective is totally different from the noun of the same word family: moon & lunar, four legs & quadrupedal, king & royal. Finnish uses derivation so new words can be formed easily and words that are new to the reader/listener can be recognised easily. On the other hand, English can form new words without any morphological stuff: Google > to google.Sometimes it looks like English is unclearer than Finnish. E.g. the sentence I shot a man doesn't tell the result of the shooting. Finnish uses different object cases to express that: ammuin miehen (accusative: I shot a man and he died) or ammuin miestä (partitive: I shot a man but he's still alive).Finnish passive seems more flexible as English passive. (Actually, Finnish passive is not a "real" or "basic" passive because it does not have a subject but an object (if transitive) and means therefore an unknown agent.) English passive is formed only of transitive verbs whereas Finnish passive is formed of every verbs and also in situations that don't have a patient.Pihviä syödään = steak is (being) eatenTäällä syödään liikaa = people eat too much here (as if it is eaten too much)Täällä nukutaan = people are sleeping here (as if here it is slept)Sometimes English seems to lack imagination. Finnish derivation can create unique names that are normal words in English. For example the fairy tale character Snow White is Lumikki in Finnish. Lumi means snow (and kki is a suffix that express quality but here I think it just makes it a nice name). The word Lumikki doesn't mean anything; it of course refers to snow but it is just the name of that character. English just uses two regular words which seems a little boring for a Finnish-speaker.I don't know if all of my points actually answered this question but these came to my mind when I first read the question.
