windy15 asked: Funny thing about "setä"... in Finnish we have different words for your father's brother (setä) and your mother's brother (eno). Scrooge is technically Donald's "eno" but he is called "setä", probably because "setä" can also be used to mean any older man we meet (like telling a kid to "say bye to the nice uncle" or "the uncle next door")

I noticed that when I looked it up! but I didn’t know that about Scrooge being called that- I wonder if that’s why the kid picked that one instead of Eno? :O
