I wouldn't mind if this page was moved to Tornio River. / Habj 19:04, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tornionväyla

My map lists Tornionväyla as one of the names of the river. Is it Meankieli? Gerrit CUTEDH 09:55, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

I first wrote something here not noticing that it should be Tornionväylä. According to Swedish Wikipedia, it is the meänkieli name. Väylä, according to my Finnish net dictionary, means "passage", a way you travel esp. on water in standard Finnish so I guess that name makes sense in standard Finnish too. / Habj 15:01, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
In standard Finnish, including that spoken on the east bank of the river, it is Tornionjoki, not -väylä. If I (a Finnish-speaking Finn) didn't know better, I'd guess the word "Tornionväylä" means the E8-motorway from Keminmaa to Tornio. --Oami 15:55, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
