It’s like whoever designed Finland heard of lakes, but wasn’t quite sure how to do “a lot of water spread over an area”.....

Slovenia's biggest lake is only a lake when a lot of rain falls during spring. And otherwise it's just a moist meadow.

IJsselmeer (Netherlands) used to be a sea called the Zuiderzee . Only after they built the Afsluitdijk, making it a closed of area off water, they named it a lake.
