Seasonal affective disorder is a very real thing and most Finns get it to a degree. Everyone should eat vitamin d supplement during winter months because there isn't enough sunlight. Take care of yourselves people 💜
Puhu nyt hyvä ihminen suomea! Lausuntasi kuulostaa lähes natiivilta ja kielioppi tarttuu todella nopeasti kun kieltä käyttää. Veikkaan, että jos alat puhumaan suomea päivittäin, niin vuoden päästä osaat sitä täydellisesti.
On a second thought you really are just missing the proper conjugation of words. If you get that right, people won’t wanna believe you only have five odd years of finnish under your chin.
This is the first video I’ve seen from you, and as a fellow Finn, I’m so happy and grateful that Finland, with its silence and long winters, hasn’t chased you away. Your knowledge with finnish language is truly impressive-you should be proud of yourself! Keep it up ❤️
Finn here! The feeling is the same for most of us in November, when it's both cold and dark. Everybody feels like a bear who needs to go to sleep for the winter. 😊 But we learn to just be more forgiving to our selves during that time. You don't have to be energetic all year round. For that part of the year relax, wear warm clothes, eat and drink something yammy, light candles in the evening, take naps, have a daylight lamp by your work station. Soon we'll have some snow, which reflects the light, so it feels a lot better, and the Christmas lights come on, and after the Christmas days are alredy getting longer again. So just for this little bit before Christmas and snow, find your inner bear and hibernate a bit. ❤

The first snow is always a shock for me and I've been living 47 years here. You just got to accept it and remind yourself, that there are good things in the winter too and the spring will eventually come. Exercing is very important during the winter to be able to not be depressed. Great video, bro!
3:24. Same and I'm a Finn. But I think it always gets better when it gets past this dark and wet season and we have permanent snow and is fully cured when the early spring rolls around.
So refreshing to see more people coming and speaking about their experiences living in Finland. Maybe we will be beating the fake country allegations after all. You speak better Finnish than me, mainly because I grew up around Ostrobothnia and grew up speaking Swedish
It's seasonal affective disorder, it affects me as well, despite being a natural born finn :) I suggest taking a lots of d-vitamin (200 μg daily) and other supplements.
I'm Vietnamese, but I've lived here all my life (so I struggle with my identity where I really belong). Yes, winter automatically, at least in Nordics, automatically makes you feel "Oh depression is coming up." Sä teet hyvää työtä puhu enemmän, kun saat sen mahdollisuuden. LMAO ei helvetti se karhu video. 😂 ❤ But I hope you enjoy your time so far and living cities is bit different compared to smaller one. So if you like more quiet places, I recommend there then.
One thing I have noticed in these sites about Finland is that visitors never talk about Finnish literature, movies, art, music, etc. If one wants to get a better Finnish experience, they should look into those things. Well, that applies to other countries as well. A thing that has always bothered me about the US is the so-called outgoingness of Americans, and maybe that is true of Australia too. But I was brought up in a Great Lakes region small town largely populated by people of Finnish origin like me. Less was more in talking. Though I never learned Finnish properly, when I visited Finland, people were surprised that I could pronounce place names, food and other daily things so well. i was sort of surprised, but shouldn't have been, that the landscape was so similar to where I was from.
It's my second year here in Finland, after getting married to my Finnish husband and moving in with him. It's definitely an adjustment, and I feel the lethargy the most in the winter as well. Watching this makes me feel hopeful, listening has always been my strong suit vs speaking, it seems that will still be the case even in 5 years I suppose and that's fine. Let's both enjoy our lives in Finland!
Let’s enjoy! Thanks a lot for your comment and you will get used to everything. Us humans are much better at adapting than we think, it just takes some time 😊
That's very interesting. I feel like you mentioned the comparison of the people at the bus station some time in the past already but I cannot remember for sure.
People in Finland are talkative, but only if they have something to say 😃 and if nothing to say - there is total comfort to be silent ❤. And your Finnish is great.
I'm 31 year old Finnish guy and the darkness hits me every autumn like a cement truck. Best thing to do is to spend the short moments of sunlight outside. Also take some strong vitamin-D supplements.
I'm 57, and the darkness (and cold) has hit me hard for the past 51 years. The only time it didn’t affect me was when I lived in Southern Europe. Where I'm moving the moment I'll retire.
I hate snow and I hate winter, I will never get used to it or find joy in it. I lived in other places for 13 years, and temporarily moved back to Finland 4-5 years ago. In the future I'm hoping to only spends summers in Finland and go further south before the winter arrives. :)
That was Great! Thanks for the chat and for telling about Finland and the people, and climate and language. I always been here in New England and the winters are a little too cold and long and daylight is short every day. I feel like my body just wants to hibernate till spring! haha! I love the summer and down here on Cape Cod we have beautiful soft sandy beaches on the warm ocean. People are alot friendlier here than other places i've been in around Massachusetts..People actually say hello and are just genuinely friendlier.Anyway, thanks for the update, I started watching your videos since the old scary climbing videos you did a real long time ago, in the early mornings, avoiding security lol! Those were Amazing and totally epic!! Take care and God bless bro!
Have You ever heard of places - where Finns lived at Mass ? Did You know that Our national game IS after seeing a RED SOXS game... We call IT PESAPALLO - on TH-cam - Better known than Wife Carrying !
I'm a Finn and the darkness gets me every year, really never gets easier. Maybe in the northern parts where they have more snow, it might feel easier than here in the southwestern part of the country. You speak Finnish really well😊
I find it fine when I have time off or on weekends, but going to work when it's dark, and leaving when it's dark is awful. I can also end up working somewhere where there's no natural light.
If darkness bother you, try switching some of your lights to color temperature 4000K. If you set timer to bed room to turn on 4000K light bit before you need to wake up, it's easier to get up in bright room.
My sister moved from Finland to Australia ten years ago and it changed her alot so I find it interesting to hear how Finnish culture can change someone who came from Australia. PS. Which country do you think has the better beer? :)
I'm a native and I pretty much sleep all day during winter, no energy what so ever. Guess I was born to hibernate, lol. The darkness does get to me too and especially summer ending always does too, as I feel late spring and summer are really the only seasons I like here. I love summer but it's such a fleeting moment in this cold greyness we call Pohjola. Good coping mechanism, especially now, when it's the darkest is to remember that the darkest day of the year is the 21st of December. you hang in there, until then and the days begin to get longer, first by seconds, then by minutes, then by hours. ;)
WTF. Sinähän puhut ihan hyvää suomenkieltä. Joitain paikallisia murteita (Rauman, Savon jne.) on vaikea ymmärtää suomalaistenkin, mutta sinun puheessasi ei ole mitään vikaa. Jatka vaan samaan malliin👍
I'm a Finn and the older I get the less I like the winter :D As a kid it's fabulous. As an adult I've gotten really sensitive to the cold. I don't mind the darkness because spring will come but if it gets really cold that sucks for me. I have friends who love it though. If the winter was always snowy and held firm at around -1 to -5 degrees Celsius, I would love it, that kind of winter weather is actually wonderful! But I hate anything colder than -10 C. And I hate it when it thaws and then freezes so it gets icy and slippery, that sucks.
Your Finnish sounds great! Yeah we also get depressed when darkness and coldness comes, but it's the price we pay for the great summers. Christmas brings little joy for us with all the candles. But wait until February,then there will be great, cold and sunny days.
Your Finnish is great! I myself am a Swedish speaking Finn, and I have been working my whole life for my Finnish. Today I am rather sure that my Finnish is OK, the Finns say so too, but one has to remember that I am 79 years old. (!!!) Finnish is a wonderful language, not only because it is so hard but also because it has such a potential for expressing anything that you need to express. Plus that they do it in a very charming way! Humour in Finnish is like nothing else in the world! Lots of Swedish speaking Finns have emigrated to Sweden because they haven´t been able to master the Finnish language. And I remember for ever when I was in Stockholm with a group of 14 year olds, and one of them said: "Imagine! Everything is in Swedish!" It was a treat. But Finland is our homeland, regardless. I am extremely proud of knowing Finnish, it is the second hardest language in the world! And the people is very special! I remember how poor we were after the last war with the Soviet Union - poor and drunk (!) and swearing! - and today we belong to the most successful. In a very short time the Finns have succeeded in taking their place among the most successful peoples of the world. I am very proud.
I always get tired very tired from november to january. It's like this pressing feeling at the back of my eyes that I just want to sleep all the time. If I could I would travel somewhere sunny for winter, but I would come back for summer. No one appreciates summer sun more than a finn. Puhut oikein hyvää suomea. :)
I just randomly watched some 7 years old climbing videos from other channels and saw your face and it made me wonder hows he doing nowadays !! 😄 Lifes weird I got this recommended like 4 days later lol, good to hear you are doing fine and enjoying life !!
That’s so interesting to hear, as a finn. So why did you move to Finland? Also how old are you? You seem like a really nice person! Ja sä puhut tosi hyvin suomee 👏 i can totally relate to the winter depression 😅
For how long will you think you'll live in Finland? I just subscribed! i would like to have international friends and i have a friend from Vietnam. Also your Finnish is great
Kaamosmasennus is reaaaal at the moment but its usually just the time before snow arrives when its just the worst. You can already feel the mood changing now when there's a nice winter weather thats not too cold but it lightens up the weather. But yeah it's real every year and if you work normal office hours like 8-16 it's gonna suck for you living in darkness and spending the days in the office since there's not gonna be any light when you get off.
I actually feel a lot better in winter; I like the darkness and cold a lot. (coming from a native Finn), It can sometimes be a bit depressing, but I like the winter. Anyway, the Finnish sounds great, and even I don't fully know how to speak great Finnish, and I was born and raised here, so it is a little difficult.
Italian is actualy the easiest language to learn. I'm part Italian and I understood when my grandparents were around when I was a kid. Forgot about but then started relearn it. Speaking not writing but I love it.
It's much easier to learn Swedish as an English speaking person. Unfortunately, nowadays it's quite hard to come around with just Swedish in Finland, if your not living in Österbotten or Åland (where I live). Officially, Finland is bilingual but not really in reality. It was nice to hear about your own "growing" since you came here. All the Best to you 😄👌
The darkness affects many people negatively, but not all. I like summer and the sun very much, but I don't feel like the darkness has any negative effect on me. I kind of like it, to a degree. It feels calming. Mutta siis puhu ihmeessä suomea, sinun puhetta on helppo ymmärtää ja siitä se vaan paranee.
Don't worry many of us Finns aren't used to out weather either despite being born here. I think it's like living on a foreign planet, there are limits to our adaptation as human beings.
Back in the day I had co- worker who was Canadian Finnish. He spoke perfect Finnish, but if he had to say a word he was not familiar he pronounced it like you would in English. One time he had sick leave and I asked him "What did you have?" "Well I had "Rye bull""... It sound's like "minulla oli rye bull" and that doesn't say anything. Eventually he told me he had diarhea.
Man i want to move to finland too. But i kind of lack confidence. As people won't accept me. I want to move their for a better life but what if they hate people like me?
how long did you live in finland before moving to australia, if i may ask? you mentioned having lived away from finland for "most" of your life so i assume you lived here as a child, or? :o
So, it was the other way around. i was born in Australia and lived there until i was 8, then i moved to a few countries in Asia. I ended up moving to Finland when i was 14 for only two years to do some school, then i moved to Hong kong and was there until 2018, then i came to Finland and have been here since lol... super confusing.
Your Finnish is good, a good way to continue fostering it, is to know where you can integrate it into your life, just enough that you can maintain the skill of speech and get better, without diminishing your English. There is only really the stiffness you need to shake off, and you will speak Finnish like a native. If you are intending on living in coastal areas of Finland, as a secondary option you can learn to speak Swedish, it is a constitutionally recognized second government language, GRANTED, there is much less speakers of it in here in Finland. Swedish will be far more easier to learn as a stop gap, if you are finding speaking or learning Finnish difficult. I think you might be trying to suppress certain motions and or muscles to control your tone when you speak Finnish, this most likely is the source of your stiffness when you speak Finnish. Try to find out which muscles exactly you tense up to produce the proper tone of speaking Finnish. I think, maybe a ten minute practice daily of speaking few sentences in Finnish, first slowly, then slowly accelerate after repeating those few sentences, until the times up. Up to you though.
I'm a Finn and I always dread winter. In recent years less so, but still. Snow is nothing but nuisance and I hate coldness. The worst thing is that winter lasts like million years
I've heard this whole "I understand but I don't speak it" before a lot and I find it bemusing. Are sure you actually are understanding, or you just think you understand? Or in other words, how do you know? Can you translate into English a film or book? Because 90% understanding does not really make sense to me. Also, nice view.
You speak Finnish quite well, maybe not perfectly but comprehensibly and in Finland there are different dialects such as Turun and Savo dialects and they are difficult to understand some times.
for me summertime is just pure torture, I'm allergic to effin _everything_ that's in the air from plants, trees & bugs. I have to take 3 different pills, use eyedrops & nasal sprays and my eyes & nose still just _leak_ allll the time. I also use ADHD & depresso meds that rise my body temperature, so when it's 25-30+ °C it feels like I'm living in a sauna 247. I also have MC1R-gene ("the red head gene") which makes me super sensitive to sun exposure _and_ it also makes me "feel the heat" even more. Sunshine is like my dementor, it sucks the life & happiness out of me (even in winter), dunno if it's because of the MC1R-gene or I'm just partly a vampire 🤓 Btw it's an interesting gene to check out, it's not just about freckes & red hair💃 Happy to see u like living here and your finnish is on point, hope u some day get comfortable speaking it😊

But yeah it's real every year and if you work normal office hours like 8-16 it's gonna suck for you living in darkness and spending the days in the office since there's not gonna be any light when you get off.
Your finnish is very good and people will definitely understand you if you just encourage yourself to speak the language!
thank you very much!
November is called marraskuu which means death month and that's for a reason. Santahamina?
Hyvä video, I like your editing style keep it up 💯🦾
Kiitos! Thanks for the support
Nice! I also lived in Hongkong. Very cool city, but in Finland there is more space to breathe :)
Oh amazing! Did you enjoy Hong Kong ?
Hah 1.41 - Turpa Kiinni! had to press like for that
🤣
I actually feel a lot better in winter; I like the darkness and cold a lot. (coming from a native Finn), It can sometimes be a bit depressing, but I like the winter. Anyway, the Finnish sounds great, and even I don't fully know how to speak great Finnish, and I was born and raised here, so it is a little difficult.
Italian is actualy the easiest language to learn. I'm part Italian and I understood when my grandparents were around when I was a kid. Forgot about but then started relearn it. Speaking not writing but I love it.
@@treinke81 ah I see! I love Italian, beautiful language
@jamessight right...
It's much easier to learn Swedish as an English speaking person. Unfortunately, nowadays it's quite hard to come around with just Swedish in Finland, if your not living in Österbotten or Åland (where I live). Officially, Finland is bilingual but not really in reality.
It was nice to hear about your own "growing" since you came here. All the Best to you 😄👌
Thankyou so much! I actually just posted a video to this channel where I only speak Finnish!
The weather is the people.
Mies tuli kotiin. Nyt olet suomalainen. Puhut hyvää suomea. Kaikkea hyvää, talvesta huolimatta.
time to talk about the army experience
How do you afford living and moving in different contrives?
The darkness affects many people negatively, but not all.
I like summer and the sun very much, but I don't feel like the darkness has any negative effect on me. I kind of like it, to a degree. It feels calming.
Mutta siis puhu ihmeessä suomea, sinun puhetta on helppo ymmärtää ja siitä se vaan paranee.
Don't worry many of us Finns aren't used to out weather either despite being born here. I think it's like living on a foreign planet, there are limits to our adaptation as human beings.
Welcome to Finland, I’m from Tampere 😆
Kiitos! Thanks mate
Puhut hyvää suomea! Jatka sen puhumista.
Kiitos!
but yeah good video and all, it was interesting to hear about your experiences
I like the music. Not too distracting but it was a bit loud at the end of the video. Nice video though!
Will definitely work on that in the future, thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked the video 🙏❤️
If you go to the armh in finland i think its a must to learn finnish or swedish
So good at Finnish after only 5 years? Congrats! 🎉
Thanks so much
Can you talk about what you do for your living, or what things you have done since coming to Finland? 😊
Sure! That will definitely be a topic for an upcoming video 😊
@ 🫶🏼😊
Great vid💙
Thanks bro ❤️🤝
Tosi mielenkiintoista kuulla ajatuksiasi suomesta ja yllätyin ihan sikana kun puhuit noin hyvää suomea, jatka vaan samalla lailla!!
Back in the day I had co- worker who was Canadian Finnish. He spoke perfect Finnish, but if he had to say a word he was not familiar he pronounced it like you would in English. One time he had sick leave and I asked him "What did you have?" "Well I had "Rye bull""... It sound's like "minulla oli rye bull" and that doesn't say anything. Eventually he told me he had diarhea.
3:33 Yes! Kyllä tää talvi on tylsää aikaa
Joo, ulkona ei voi tehdä mitään hyödyllistä. No urheilu ehkä, terveyden kannalta.
What's ur job bro
did you have to go through the finnish army or did you do that for fun?
Man i want to move to finland too. But i kind of lack confidence. As people won't accept me. I want to move their for a better life but what if they hate people like me?
how long did you live in finland before moving to australia, if i may ask? you mentioned having lived away from finland for "most" of your life so i assume you lived here as a child, or? :o
So, it was the other way around. i was born in Australia and lived there until i was 8, then i moved to a few countries in Asia. I ended up moving to Finland when i was 14 for only two years to do some school, then i moved to Hong kong and was there until 2018, then i came to Finland and have been here since lol... super confusing.
@jamessight aah not at all! it's awesome that you've been able to experience so many places already :D
Tervetuloa suomeen ! puhut hyvin suomea , puhu enemmän suomea , niin opit puhumaan enemmän , kielet on rikkaus :)
Kiitos tosi paljon!
Your Finnish is good, a good way to continue fostering it, is to know where you can integrate it into your life, just enough that you can maintain the skill of speech and get better, without diminishing your English. There is only really the stiffness you need to shake off, and you will speak Finnish like a native. If you are intending on living in coastal areas of Finland, as a secondary option you can learn to speak Swedish, it is a constitutionally recognized second government language, GRANTED, there is much less speakers of it in here in Finland. Swedish will be far more easier to learn as a stop gap, if you are finding speaking or learning Finnish difficult.
I think you might be trying to suppress certain motions and or muscles to control your tone when you speak Finnish, this most likely is the source of your stiffness when you speak Finnish. Try to find out which muscles exactly you tense up to produce the proper tone of speaking Finnish. I think, maybe a ten minute practice daily of speaking few sentences in Finnish, first slowly, then slowly accelerate after repeating those few sentences, until the times up. Up to you though.
Osaat hyvin suomee ja näytät suomalaiselta. Oo ylpee itsestäsi, kaikki ei saa samaa mahdollisuutta elämässä.
I'm a Finn and I always dread winter. In recent years less so, but still. Snow is nothing but nuisance and I hate coldness. The worst thing is that winter lasts like million years
Completely understand. I get the same feeling hahaha
" Tässä kylmässä maassa, jossa talvi on pitkä ja sisältää kesän. Voi kuolla pakkasen puremaan " - Mokoma - Rautaa rinnoista
I've heard this whole "I understand but I don't speak it" before a lot and I find it bemusing. Are sure you actually are understanding, or you just think you understand? Or in other words, how do you know? Can you translate into English a film or book? Because 90% understanding does not really make sense to me.
Also, nice view.
2:42 Ive lived here for 20 years still the winter fucks me up
@@ifufinn I’m hearing many say the same. It’s a tough time for sure!
Im wondering how hard is it for you to understand different dialects since there are so many ways people speak finnish.
Your Finnish is good
Thanks!
Sun suomi kuulostaa hyvältä, puhu vaan :)
Kiitos
I know another Australian youtuber that moved to Finland
@@mayrbek123 oh cool, who?
I have 2 guestions:
1. Why Finland and not some npc country like Japan or smth?
2. Have you learned any Swedish?
Remember to take your vitamins when winter arrives. Vitamin D especially
You speak Finnish quite well, maybe not perfectly but comprehensibly and in Finland there are different dialects such as Turun and Savo dialects and they are difficult to understand some times.
Thankyou very much!
for me summertime is just pure torture, I'm allergic to effin _everything_ that's in the air from plants, trees & bugs. I have to take 3 different pills, use eyedrops & nasal sprays and my eyes & nose still just _leak_ allll the time. I also use ADHD & depresso meds that rise my body temperature, so when it's 25-30+ °C it feels like I'm living in a sauna 247. I also have MC1R-gene ("the red head gene") which makes me super sensitive to sun exposure _and_ it also makes me "feel the heat" even more.
Sunshine is like my dementor, it sucks the life & happiness out of me (even in winter), dunno if it's because of the MC1R-gene or I'm just partly a vampire 🤓
Btw it's an interesting gene to check out, it's not just about freckes & red hair💃
Happy to see u like living here and your finnish is on point, hope u some day get comfortable speaking it😊
Ahhh that’s very unfortunate. I also used to get terrible hayfever but recently I haven’t gotten it so bad, luckily.
kyllähän se kaamos vähä voi vituttaa porukkaa mutta meillä on marraskuu eli kuoleman kuukausi
What happened with you and Jesse (Mauton)?
Very good finnish. (I just realized how 'finnish' that sentence was)
I read that in a rally English accent ahhahah
The only way to get better at speakimg Finnish is by speaking Finnish
Agreed
What's the TV series? Kinda pointless to say it's great but not mention the name.
Oh my bad, it’s called Karppi
@@jamessight kiitos
