A Postcard From Finland

Sunday, May 3, 2026

A few months ago, I put in a request asking for volunteers to send me a postcard with a message in Finnish. This morning I finally got one, and I have no idea what it says. That's not entirely true, I think I was able to translate the first three words. When I asked for people to send me these, I didn't think about the possibility of being unable to read the handwriting. I've attached a photo below, if anyone had guesses as to what any of the letters are, or if anyone here speaks Finnish and is willing to help translate, please let me know? It would be quite nice to respond to this.

From what I can gather, the first three words are "Terveiset Jyvaskyla sta", meaning "Greetings from the city of Jyvaskyla." That's all I've got.

I've tried using different digital dictionaries, with little success. If you have any advice, suggestions or help, please let me know and I'll keep trying to solve the message in the meantime.
