    2. Sentri on

      Onni tulkohon tupahan, Hyvä vuosi vierahaksi

      May fortune come to the house, a good year as a guest

      It’s basically a wish for good luck and a good year. In more basic Finnish: Onni tulkoon tupaan, hyvä vuosi vieraaksi.

      Onni tulkohon tupahan, hyvä vuosi vierahaksi. In more modern Finnish tulkohon = tulkoon, vierahaksi = vieraaksi. 

      Translation:
      Let happiness enter the house, a good year (come) as a guest.

      *May luck/happiness come to the hall [main room of a house]*

      *A good year (come) as a guest*

      The text is written in the traditional Kalevala poetry verse, with 8 syllables in each part and rhyming first syllables (= TUlkohon TUpahan)

      It has symbolic bread and salt which you would give as a gift for a new home so I guess that’s an old housewarming gift.

      And no one is going to say that there are very traditional Finnish housewarming gifts: rye bread and salt? 😀

      I see you already got your answer, but if you find more Finnish texts you want to translate i’d recommend using DeepL translator

      I’m pretty sure my grandparents had this exact thing on their wall in the early 80s. They were very popular at some point.

      There’s some bread here to you old cheapskate and some salt too.

      In a way if you want similar poetic-dialectic emphasis;

      Happiness cometh to houseth; Good year become-gæst.

      „Good luck (or happiness) is welcome in the house, a good year can come to visit.“

      It is a wish for good luck and fortune.
