Why? We Dutch, at least the older generations, speak 4 languages. If you’re married to a Swede you have to be good at the language. 🇳🇱🌷🌷🌷

@ingridwatsup9671 I disagree. Not everyone in older generations speaks 4 languages!

4 talen? Over welke generatie heb je het dan?

​@@DouweBurumaGeneratie Atheneum/Gymnasium A oude stijl. Ik moest ook Nederlands, Engels, Frans en Duits doen. Mijn Frans is inmiddels vrijwel volledig weggecorrodeerd maar Engels en Duits gaat nog prima.

@@hijtohema Ja oké, maar niet iedere Nederlander heeft het Gymnasium gedaan. En in mijn tijd kon je kiezen tussen Duits of Frans.

Worship? Nonsense …appreciate o.k., but I’m Dutch and we don’t exaggerate. 🇳🇱🌷🌷🌷

Dutch people seem to have a good ear for learning other European languages, unlike in particular English speaking people, who for the most seems to be completely "tone deaf", still sounds like they speak English when they try to speak another language. And it's a totally different thing when you live in an environment where you simply have to use the language every day, in every situation, in opposite to if you sit home in your native country, only learning by books, apps or online, and never use it in daily life.

She’s Dutch! 🇳🇱🌷🌷🌷

@@ingridwatsup9671 Stop being so patriotic please. She is an individual and there is no such thing as a typical Dutchy.

@@longbow857 no, dutch people have an easy time learning languages. that is the reality.

I doubt her Finnish is more than basic as it is a very difficult language to learn. Swedish is much easier, especially if you are native Dutch or German. English is mandatory at school for every Dutch kid.

Very good. Noticeable Bohuslän accent (thank g@d she didn't pick the Stockholm one!).

I am Dutch and I don't know her.

Most Dutch people don't feel the need to stand above others, so claiming she is better then others will not be percieved as a compliment. I can clearly see she is one of those people.

These are literally dialects descended from one common language. Except for Finnish. And even if a person speaks urdu, chinese, Turkish, swahili and Hungarian all at the same time, still nothing impressive. Most probably the person was privileged enough to live in those countries or learn them in the comfort of their homes. While the so many people are homeless throughout their lives and busy just surviving, having one to no meals a day and as a result not even speaking their own language properly due to the lack of education.

Her (very loving) parents moved a lot when she was a child. She never had the chance to have stable friendships as a child. She is a Highly Sensitive Person (which for most people spoils their quality of life) and could not bear her mother being in pain and ill health all the time, she was never accepted in the many schools she went to because she spoke the wrong dialect of Dutch (because moved a lot and was HSP) and there you go. The recepy for someone who gets her identity from being the best in her trade in the world to wash away the pain, hurt and bruises. And thus she worked so terribly hard, so hard..... And she collapsed. But with Nightwish finally she achieved it. Why else whould she name her album "my paragon"? And she subsequently went for too long with a pregnant belly and collapsed (again). In a way she is a bit of a tragic figure that made the most of her buised youth. But I would not want to swap my whole life with her whole life. I think her good, tender, sensitive heart and her loving parents that gave her at least a loving home base (that moved to further her fathers career all the time) pulled her through. And let us not forget her husband, he adores her. That is just what she needs. If any of these factors would have been less good, she might have dropped out, went to drugs or something. I hope that answers your question.

Narcissistic compartmentalizing

I had the same thought first, but then I realized that the most successful Power- and Symphonic Metal bands come out of the Scandinavian woods, even if Floor is Dutch, of course: Sabaton, Nightwish, Brothers of Metal, Apocalyptica... You name it! A region where you have no real nights in the summer and no light in the midwinter. So maybe it's not only not a contradiction, but a kind of special connection between this two supposedly opposite lifestyles... Have you ever thought about this? 🤔 Greetings from Germany 🤘🏼

After Forever, bigger than Nightwish? Not so sure. Tuomas Holopainen is in composing what Floor is in singing. The very best. The fact that these two are in one band is one of those 'all planets align' things.

Bigger or not, but she would've kept her artistic freedom. She was phenomenal with her own bands, but everything she's sung since 2013 is written by other people, and I'm not much impressed by that.

It is absolutely INSANE to me that she now also speaks Swedish (I don't speak it, so idk how fluent she is, but she sounds at least b1-b2?)

@@raymundod5224 I'd say it sounds like a slight norwegian accent to her swedish but Bohuslän is close to Norway. Since she already know dutch and english it's very easy to learn swedish. I don't speak dutch but I can understand quite a bit when reading since I speak swedish and english.

@@Hank_E Being Dutch, I do not understand Swedish, but the way Floor speaks Swedish, it sounds fluent and easy-going. If Swedish natives claim that it is not too hard to learn, coming from a Germanic language, then I believe it immediately. I seem to remember a statement from Floor that she felt that Finnish was much harder to learn than Swedish, which seems naturally right to me, knowing that Finnish is not a Germanic language and rather related to Hungarian (very distantly). Indeed, Swedish sounds strangely familiar to the Dutch, although certainly not everything is easily understood.
