    Becoming a Finnish citizen should not be easy. It entitles a person to a wide variety of things, not only in Finland but in all Nordic countries and the EU as well. Finnish citizenship also comes with certain obligations, for example national service, and personal reliability and loyalty is key for proper fulfillment of these obligations. A Finnish passport is also a powerful travel document that grants visa-free access to most countries, and yet it generally doesn't attract government attention anywhere. They simply cannot be handed out like Burger King coupons, especially in today's unstable security environment. However, I'm glad that hard-working, honest and determined people who intend to stay and contribute in Finland in the long term can obtain them. Congratulations to you!

    In Espoo you don't have to climb up the mountains to find snow for winter activities like you have to do in more southern parts of Europe or more close to ocean shorelines. And if you miss show, Lapland has a much longer skiing season. There are also indoor skiing facilities in southern Finland, thought they haven't been always open throughout the summer.

    Hello from Russia. In such funny times as today, it is especially interesting to learn about the life of people in Finland. And at the same time, I want to attract interest in the history of this country, since I collect coins of the Principality of Finland, when the country was part of the Russian Empire until 1917. I will be glad to hear your opinions under my new video on this topic, and I would like to find like-minded people on the topic from Finland, to see the antique shops of this country. I will be glad!))

    • @just42tube
      @just42tube 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      You earlier had a comment where you mentioned vocational studies and English being your 1st language. You had written it in a form which makes me remind you that using English in a very liberal way, that is what native speakers mostly do, isn't necessarily a good thing using English with non native speakers or others using other dialects. Deviations from the more standard English makes it more difficult for others to understand you. You don't need to speak RP to be understood, but one better be aware of one's own dialect and adjust it if necessary. Just listening how others speak can give some hints of what could be more familiar and easier for them. And of course the reverse effect is also there. For you the dialects you hear might be strange and difficult.

Svenska eller skandinaviska behöver du inte riktigt. Men det hjälper också. Men Norska hjälper inte, tror jag. Since Finnish, Suomenkieli in Finnish, is the majority language also locally in Tampere/Tammerfors, it gives the most leverage in finding local part-time or permanent employment.

    The purpose of working beside your studies, which is the main occupation for a full-time student, for most people is to monetize your time and skills to get income. A long time ago, before the nowadays probably more common platform economy, some students organized themselves into cooperatives or small businesses. These where not startups is the current meaning since the business idea was just to help sell work and skills that advanced students could deliver. You already had to have some marketable skills to get in. This offered a kind of soft landing to work-life from student life where you had supported yourself by student benefits and student loans or whatever funding you could get. This was somewhat common at least in the information technology sector. I can imagine situation is different nowadays and different disciplines have always had different situations.

    The criterias for getting finnish citizenship should be much MUCH stricter. Many people from outside Europe show no respect for Finnish laws, regulations, customs and the Finnish way of life. Such newcomers should be removed from Finland at their own expense. Regardless of your nationality, skin color, religion or sexual orientation, You are welcome in Finland if you do not commit crimes, work, pay taxes and live a respectful life. Most often Finnish people tend to like more Asian people than people from muslim countries. Why? Because Asian people adapts the finnish lifestyle easier, they do not commit crimes and they are hard workers. This is valid for most asians in Finland, allthough, there are exceptions. Muslims are mostly...not all, but mostly, the opposite of that. They have very hard to adapt the finnish lifestyle, they don't respect our laws, they build their own paralell societies and they are violent. We don’t want criminals in Finland.
