Where do they try to set the accent? Second or last syllable?

Brits do it on the second. I've heard some French put it on the last - Helsinkiii. Anecdotally, the Dutch are the best with Finnish words.

Though most visitors are confused by the fact that every letter is pronounced: if there is a double t you can hear the difference with a single t etc.
