I also had a great moment in my first trip to NY. Me and my friend were sitting in a bar in Brooklyn and we didn't have anything to say to each other so we were quiet for a while (half an our). The bartender got anxious and came to ask if we're alright 😂
hahahaha typical Finns xD Same for me when i was living for a year in Iceland and was "minding my own business" as to say, and people many times came up to me "XXXX(my name) Are you okay??" Me: Visibly confused "Uhh yea?" :D
Jeah... relax man.. allways somebody correct when you speak finnish and most of peoples speaks english or understand even few words. Don't take that much pressure for that if u say something wrong. Everybody watching something tv show from USA and specially american english sounds so easy to understand. I learned english from MacGyver and Knight Rider😂
Hello a Finnish native here. I like to give this tip to every foreigner struggling with adjusting to darkness in Finland during fall and winter (Which to be honest, sucks): Get a bright light therapy lamp. They are affordable (You can get one for somewhere between 30-50 euros) and compact. Make sure that it has 10000 Lux, below that it is not a bright light therapy lamp. You need to use it every day to get the benefits and there is a specific distance from it that you need to have the lamp from your eyes, 16 to 24 inches. Use it for at least 20mins everyday. You don´t have to look at it directly, it just needs to be in your field of vision,.I like to do my session first thing in the morning when I´m having coffee as part of my morning routine. The effect for me is that darkness is still there but experiencing it does not suck as much and I´m not as tired after a work day. Your mileage may vary on this but I recommend to at least try it since the dark period is so long in Finland. Your channel is nice, it´s cool to hear about people from different countries experiencing Finland!
Couple of years ago I worked as a bartender here in Turku. I found some american dude's passport from the bar. His name wasn't any John Smith so I figured that I could find him through facebook. I also found out that there were about 100 similar names. With some luck on a slow day I acually found the right guy and sent him a lenghty message that I found his passport. He only gave me the thumbs up and not much else. I was like what the hell, I have his passport in a foreign country and he is only giving me thumbs up. I sent him a new message and said "dude, I have your passport, come get it before I leave to the US embassy" Then he realised that his passport was actually missing and i really did have his passport. When we met, he said that he thought this was a scam. In the US, that passport would have been gone like you said. I was mindblown that dishonesty is kind of standard thing. That being said. I have only good things to say about people in the states from my three trips (NY x2 and DETROIT 😂)
1. the darkness, yeah it eats your motivation I agree and you never get like really used to it. 2. We do love and nurture our nature here, thank god 3. I do love the quiet and honesty here too. 4. The mythical creature.. was that the description of "Näkki" perhaps?
Näkki is in the water. He lures kids into water and drowns them. It's Finnish version of Scandinavian näcken. Easter Finland his called vetehinen. In the forest there are at least the sinipiika or metsänpiika. She looks like a beautiful woman on the front. She comes to talk with the hunters at the night near the camp fire. When they turn around they look like tree bark. Then there are maahiset. They are small human shaped beings that can also look like ants. They live in an upside down world and can cast a spell to humans so they will go into metsänpeitto (blanket of forest) and you will loose your way. If somebody tries to find you they won't see you even if you were standing next to them. You can get out of metsänpeitto by walking backwards or turning you clothes inside out. There might be others too.
Great video - it gave me so much heartwarming nostalgia. I compare Finland to Sweden, Denmark, Italy, and Germany - and though I'm not an enthusiast for ice-dips, I love the same things as you do about Finland. I would like to add that Finns tend to be laid-back and not snobbish, very relaxed, and humor-loving. I don't think it is fair to call Finnish very difficult, because it isn't - one thing especially makes it easier, and that is the general attitude Finns have when you try to speak Finnish as best as you can, because Finns are so positive, helpful, and understanding. They have struggled with English, Swedish, and maybe other languages, too; they know that language learning takes time and diligence, and perfection takes even more time to reach, if ever. It is as demanding both ways. A well-kept secret about Finnish is, that there are thousands of words that are borrowed from other languages, often just slightly adapted to Finnish, for easier spelling, pronunciation, and declination. Some loan-words are slang, and others quite international well-educated vocabulary. Slang examples: fiilis, hevi, bändi, mutsi. (Feeling, heavy, band, mother.) Everyday words: bussi, kioski, tyyppi, baari, hattu. International words: kapteeni, apteekki, tohtori, auto, pankki, kemia, piano. Educated vocabulary: parlamentaarinen, integraatio, sensuuri, konteksti, synonyymi. There are many thousands!
Your messages are always eye-opening, excuse me for not replying though I do take time to read when I see them. I definitely appreciate the language cheat index you just supplied me with. I though I noticed some similar words but what you just pointed out makes it stand out to a whole new level
@@DaddiDiesel Thanks for that encouraging response! You don't yet know, that it is a pet peeve of mine, that Sweden-Swedes look at Finnish and claim with authority, that there is not one recognizable word in Finnish, it is soooo difficult! Though when they are in Finland they are surrounded with loanwords, especially from Swedish, English, German, and reinforced by the contacts. Hotelli, katu, baari, linja, pankki, portti, kauppa, poliisi, posti, paketti, saippua, hissi, merkki, viini and vodka... 🙂 Would you like some more loanwords? The nursery and bedroom are full of them: pallo, lego, peli, lamppu, täkki... The army is full of them: luutnantti, pataljoona, tankki, panssari, marssi... The bakery is full of them: patonki, kakku, torttu, limppu, kaneli, neilikka, appelsiinimarmeladi... The garage is full of them: talli (autotalli = car-stall), moottori, mekaanikko, ratti, bensa, öljy, sylinteri, patteri, termostaatti... The market is full of them: tomaatti, salaatti, oliivi, pinaatti, pasta, hunaja, feta-juusto, kaali... The Finnish education is full of them: koulu, numero, maisteri, professori, kanslia, matematiikka, kemia, fysiikka, teknologia, biologia, psykologia, englanti, espanja, latina, teatteri, media, testi, tentti, systeemianalyysi There is an endeavour to translate international *concepts* to clear and original Finnish - in France and Norway they do their best, too. But it is rather hopeless - something with parfume should be tuoksu or haju-vesi, but parfyymi is so much more of the big world. So if you know the basic Finnish words you can understand the meaning of many concepts (Finnish: käsite - something you can handle). This is true not only of "virta-hepo" (hippopotamus) and "yli-opisto" (university), but also of "pulla-pitko" (a long bun), "helppo-käyttöinen" (easy to use), "aivo-kuume" (encephalitis = fever of the brain) - you see, as Finnish uses less Greek and Latin, Finnish is very easy to *really* understand. Do keep up (pidä yllä) your interest in Finnish and Finland, because after the initial struggle with the new logik (uusi logiikka), it becomes much easier (iisimpi) with time (ajan mukaan)! 😀 Think about it!
😊 jotenkin huomaa, että suomalaistuminen on tapahtumassa. Esimerkiksi sellanen luontainen rauhallisuuden loiste alkaa huokumaan ja rento olemus näkyy silmistä ✌
I just recently found your videos sir, and I value your mindset and thoughts about Finland. Wish we had more people like you from abroad. With all respect WTF! (Welcome to Finland!) And the answer to your question could be Menninkäinen.
The nature is for sure exhilirating, the coast is beautiful in a special part of finland, the Österbotten. There are a bunch of swedish speakers in there. Kvarken, the coast of the Österbotten has a lot of natural things formed by the ice age, like the "Hiidenkirnu", the "De Geer Moreenit" and more. A couple years ago I've been in a place rich in these kind of stuff, the views and the fact we got to explore the forest too, all of that was outrageously amazing. Highly recommend. I completely agree that the darkness at winter is able to make me feel unmotivated, it's pitch black outside as im writing this, and the time is only 17:00 spot on. Also, christmas is coming up, i would suggest you try finnish christmas dinners, like the different "laatikko"s and "puolukkahillo". Also i think that the answer to the question at the end is the Näkki, seems like an accurate description. Your voice is amazing too, it just sounds so natural and you would be great in narrating a car commercial, or something like that.
Dude you got great videos and nice voice. Greetings from Helsinki. I have lived in Helsinki since 1990. But i have a house 70km of Helsinki and Summerhouse middle of nowhere around 100km from Helsinki. Only trees and big lakes. Me my wife and our dog like to ski a lot and make our own trails.
10:53 A friendly hello from a Canadian who has been living happily in Finland since 1988! I think I originally found you through your bass voiced candy viral shorts and here we are! So about nature being integrated into the city. I've always loved this as well and originally thought that it was completely intentional to improve the wellbeing of people living in the city. However, I later discovered that there is a much less romantic reason for this: It's because Finland's land is very unique due to the bedrock being so high, or shall we say that the dirt layer is very shallow. Thus, building anything in Finland always has to deal with a lot of bedrock and sometimes it's easier to leave patches of forest in the city rather than flatten everything out. You won't really be seeing the kinds of gigantic flattened suburb grids like you see in North America, mainly because of the bedrock issue. THANK GOD!! I absolutely hated those suburbs that really felt like you were a little meaningless bug inside of a huge man-made environment!
I believe the old proverb that there is no gain when there is no pain applies to learning a language. Emotions make one remember and _really_ learn. If the emotions, the real life practise is missing, learning becomes pretty superficial. Then again, learning a language is so super rewarding because all the benefits it brings. I personally believe one cant truly understand a culture or assimilate into it.
Hmmm...sounds like Finland might be heaven for #introverts. That awkward silence/eye contact moment had me cackling. 🤣🤣 I can't handle the long dark cold winters. That's one of the many reasons I'm trying to get outta Wisconsin. 😩
I've never been to Finland or Europe in general but i hear alot of people speak English is that true? If so I'm sure that makes life easier than moving to Vietnam or something
I can't speak for everyone who lives in Europe or in Finland as a foreigner, however in my 4 year experience it's a hit or miss. I like to be honest and not just saying oh yeah everyone does, more or less most Finnish people ages 60ish and below have probably grown up learning English in school. Though that doesn't always mean they all can speak it well or sometimes they just may be a bit shy to speak with you, and some understand English more than they can speak. But this is all relative because the situation can vary drastically. I will say Finns and probably any country have an appreciate for those who put effort to learn their language. As it should be only standard that if you move abroad you take steps to learn the language it's the most you can do to respect any country.
@@DaddiDieselpeople to their 40's will absolutely all understand something in English. People in their 50's and above it varies quite a bit. Most have been in some English classes, but people of that age can also be more into some other european languages French, Deutsch. But anyway if people is in his 40's he/she absolutely has been in mandatory English classes at young age. But it's also very common that people aren't keen on trying to speak it if not fluent in it. I'm semi decent in it, but at work I get tons of requests from bosses to write or talk to visitors,even though all of these people that have made that request could've handled themselves in the situation. I'm not surprised about them. It can be over year that I talk and it's bizarre. It's awkward and kinda hard for first day as you're kinda translating in your mind, but like after few days you'll drop that translating out, like mind shifts to complete English mode. Hard to describe that change 😄
Finnish is also hard since it’s not even close to other languages. Except few other as small languages. I have no idea what is the answer to the question. Maybe Vesihiisi?
As a Finn I personally think that Finnish culture might be little too "inwards" turned. Most of the time I like the fact there is no pressure to start small talk But sometimes just to kill time its nice to talk with people especially if needing to wait for longer periods.
I get the humor in this comment but in real life, the story would be that we call the cops right away. The finders fee is also 10% but Finns prefer to call the owner and don't want anything else than thank you in return. We also go to great lengths to return some ones lost property because that gives us a lot of satisfaction. And if someone finds my lost property I would like to over compensate just because I appreciate honesty so much.
Regarding this, I´m sure you know this already but don´t start overly trusting that if you lose your wallet here "Oh, someone will just return it with integrity, no need to cancel my cards." There are of course also bad actors here.
@leegoillaleikkimisvideoita6896 thats awesome. Tbh I do videos for many brands but I actually don’t always see the post. Send me the link if you come across it again or if it’s in your history ✨
To Finnish speaking videos just let it come. We dont give a shit if you speak bad Finnish. We might fuck with you little bit cos its just fun for us but after all everyone will be just excited about you speaking Finnish.
I don't know for sure, but could the finnish folklore creature be peikko/troll? Or Rölli? 😅 On kiva kattoa sun videoita ja mukavaa, että tykkäät asua Suomessa!
The nature definetly shines here. 79% of the country is forest. Rest goes to lakes, sea, and swamps for example. Fun fact: There are so many swamps here that the country is named after it. Suo meaning "swamp" That's how Suomi got it's name i believe.
yes finns not hoppy to small talk if you something to say them you have to talk them first otherwise they are silent and not talk to you if you are not a friend them
The answer is satan, prince of the darkness, which is actually a fallen angel. Jesus won satan on the cross, and through Jesus we can be saved and go to heaven, if we repent and believe in him. All mythical creatures might be true also, and are demons, then there is also God's angels. Blessings :) great video.

Is that mythological creature Hiisi?
Ahh good try 👍
Tapio is the one god which you must respect 🙂, can this creature you mean be a Hiisi?
Can you visit Lappeenranta
Is this why there are so many talented musicians in Suomi??
Start doing Pop Smoke remixes u sound like him lmao
Can I make a second guess? Heck, I just do. I guess it's virvatuli.
Make as many guesses as you’d like 💪✨
@@DaddiDiesel Ok. Then I gues it's one of the daughters of Tapio: Tuulikki, Terhikki or Tellervo.
They have this same mythical creature in Sweden as well. Just to let you know the Finnish has their own mythical bible.
here in the norht.. we vallh the elfs.. pukkia tarjolla?
Metsänneitsyt?
Ihtiriekko?
To Finnish speaking videos just let it come. We dont give a shit if you speak bad Finnish. We might fuck with you little bit cos its just fun for us but after all everyone will be just excited about you speaking Finnish.
Duuude.. your voice. Chef from south park might be related to you.
I don't know for sure, but could the finnish folklore creature be peikko/troll? Or Rölli? 😅
On kiva kattoa sun videoita ja mukavaa, että tykkäät asua Suomessa!
Good guess but based if the answer I was given for this question I have to say know feel free to try again✨✨
Then probably a witch?

The nature definetly shines here. 79% of the country is forest. Rest goes to lakes, sea, and swamps for example. Fun fact: There are so many swamps here that the country is named after it. Suo meaning "swamp" That's how Suomi got it's name i believe.
Ajatar?
that isn't it but I definitely should have chosen a simpler question then this for sure
Could the creature be liekkiö?
Thought it is not I’m curious to learn more about these creatures everyone is sharing
@@DaddiDiesel Me, too! 🙂
yes finns not hoppy to small talk if you something to say them you have to talk them first otherwise they are silent and not talk to you if you are not a friend them
Finland drinks the most amount of coffee in the world by i think 2kg per capita
QA: Tapio
Mielikki?
It's Ajatar
Hiisi?

Ehkä 1 kymmenestä suomalaisesta on käynyt uimassa avannossa!
Answer to your question is: daddi diesel 😂
😅
Mikä on sun mielestä kaikista paras asia ikinä suomesta
Minä olen suomalainen😂😂
About 75% of Finland is forest
Paska tonttu respect
The answer is satan, prince of the darkness, which is actually a fallen angel. Jesus won satan on the cross, and through Jesus we can be saved and go to heaven, if we repent and believe in him. All mythical creatures might be true also, and are demons, then there is also God's angels. Blessings :) great video.
