The speed limit for class 1 mopeds is 45 in Sweden, at least. Don't know if it's the same in Finland. However, we usually don't do too much with the class 1 mopeds. It's the class 2 mopeds with the 25 and 30km/h speed limits that usually loses the chokes which means that they usually do about 70km/h if not tuned. We usually tune them as well and sometimes switch engines so some do upwards or even surpasses 100km/h. It's actually more common for class 2 mopeds to be illegal rather than legal. The 80km/h speed limit when it's snow, though? Never seen it here. Don't know if they have it in Finland, though.
@@tntfreddan3138 yeah 45km/h for mopeds. Actually its 100km/h on highways when winter season starts. But sure 80km/h is maybe most common speed limit on roads
5:35 on motorways and many normal roads in Northern Finland you can go 100 kmh in winter. In the meme there is a moped and legal max speed of them is 45. But some people tune their mopeds so they cand drive 90 kmh.

I spent a couple of weeks in Finland visiting friends. I got the impression it's a friendly rivalry with Sweden, but they're deadly serious when it comes to Russia. Four generations after WW2 and the attitude is "when they come back" not "if they come back". The Finns are not intimidated by Russia in the least.
Many people share that view. The fact of the matter is that Finland did not win or lose. It sued peace. Twice. There was also a third war. Against Germany. They were successfully pushed out of the country but there weren't any winners there either. The WW2 trial was held in Finland... By the Soviets! Big surprise: the Soviets won the trial.
I mean, there was a peace treaty both times so technically neither side lost. Both countries suffered losses and both achieved victories. But I'd argue Soviet Union's losses were more embarrassing and Finland's victories were more meaningful and greater achievements.
Spent 3 fantastic years in Finland, a great country. Winter War joke: soldier 1: "I hear there is another Russian Brigade coming up the road." soldier 2. "Damn, I just lit this cigarette". Soldier 1: "You finish your smoke, I will go out and surround them."
Fun fact. Though admittedly old by now, the Finnish version of "open fire" is "tulta munille", roughly translated "fire at their balls". Its a kind of 3-way mixture of a command and war cry, 1 is the obvious "open fire" command, 2 is telling soldiers to aim a bit low so in case of the weapon kicking upward the chance of landing a shot is still relatively good, and 3 is hyping up the morale
That's just bullshit. "Tulta munille" is just a famous line from the book Unknown Soldier and its movie adaptations and even there it is only used in one scene. There is zero evidence of it being anything more than that. Granted, that book is partially (but not fully) based on real events, but even if it wasn't just made up by the author, it was just something a small number of people might have shouted maybe once during the war. Either way, it has absolutely nothing to do with "the weapon kicking upward". That is just utter nonsense made up by someone who doesn't know much about guns or shooting. If it was ever actually used in real life, it was just some macho tough guy talk mixed with humour.
@@Eternalnight198 Military uses military terms, by suggesting that our military uses such shouts as official commands would be ridiculous. But considering that our troops back then were mostly unexperienced farmers, I don't have a doubt that the saying could also have been actually used. Not that it would actually matter in any way, but the saying, were it true or not, has lived on. It is visible in many (mostly non-profit) organizations slogans, which implies another way to communicate "sisu". So rather than addressing it as a historical fact, were it true or not, it should be assessed as a symbol for our nation.
From a Swedish perspective the rivalry with Finland, Norway and Denmark is just a silly humorous thing that isn't meant to be taken seriously. I'm a quarter Norwegian as well and my relatives in Norway pretty much says the same.
I guess in Finnish point of view it derives from the fact that Finland was part of the Swedish kingdom at one point (not like they wanted to, but I guess there wasn't that much organized government or anything in Finland at the time when Sweden "conquered" Finland). But I don't know why someone would hate Sweden nowadays for real.
@@Garbox80 I bet there's very few people in Finland who actually HATE Sweden. It's more like an on going joke, because of the hockey season etc? Yes, Finns have to learn some Swedish in the school by law, (bi-lingual country) and that might trigger many, because there's only a 5% minority of swedish speking Finns in Finland, and that is only a historical thing from the past.

Quite the opposite when the shit hits the fan.
Nobody actually hates sweden but lets be honest u were bastards in the past and it can be still seen in social structure, landskape and over all in finland. But nobody really cares for that anymore (except the manditory swedish).
Nah, I've seen plenty of Finnish feelings. Usually they're shades of anger, though. I thoroughly enjoy a swearing Finn. My favorite quote from a Finn was my friend Lauri getting wrecked in a game, and he said, "I'm going to f*cking fill your ass with my balls of fire, you[indeterminate Finnish swearing]."
As a Finn I can guarantee that Finns do have feelings. Lots of feelings. All hidden and bottled up inside, pushed deep where they can't affect us until the pressure grows too high and it's time to PERKELE
Indeed! Stupendously amazing intro. My personal suspicion for the finnish nickname pirunkeuhkot (translates to Devil's lungs) would be reference to the extreme diffuculty to get them sound something else than wailing of the poor souls writhing in the lake of fire, instead of the actual music after someone has learned such mastery of the accordion.
I don't know where the "Finns are slow" stereotype comes from. I'd argue that the slowness is stereotypically a western Finnish trait, but the more towards the east you go, the faster the people become. All of my Finnish relatives from the east are anything but slow, they speak very fast with a heavy dialect, are very lively in general and very emotional despite being Finns. Karelians seem to be very atypical Finns. 😂
Tavastians aka Hämäläiset are considered to be slow and I can totally see that. Hämäläiset on nuukia ja miettii jokaista liikettään ettei varmasti tee hätiköityjä päätöksiä.
Im originally from eastern part of Finland, and didn't also get that "slow thing". Im also very emotional, I have a lot of emotions, including "vitutus" also 😏
Your accordion is on point! I have followed your channel since years ago and I am so happy to see you thrive. Go estonian brother, Finno-ugrics for the win!
As a British person living in Finland, it is somewhat refreshing, although I did hear a car go by last night with what we brits call, a "bean can" (enlarged exhaust pipe) which chavs in the UK like to have as it floats their boat. But Honestly, some bus drivers in Finland have gone fast enough that I have seen old people be knocked over because of it, then stop as they realise their mistake, followed by a "voi ei, saatana". I am glad I moved here.
All the Nordic countries like to joke about each other, but in reality are close. No one really hates anyone. I am from Sweden. We joke a lot about Norway and Denmark, but I've never heard anyone joke about Finland. I believe that we secretly have great respect for our brothers and sisters in Finland. They're tough.
Great video, I’m from Upper Michigan growing up I remember watching Finland Calling hosted by Carl Pellonpaa. As far as I was aware, it was the only Finnish language program in the US. And if you go to Hancock, Michigan the street name signs are in Finnish.
This was a lot of fun. I once visited Helsinki for a day , and recently have become entranced by the Finnish band Nightwish. I am Canadian, so can identify with the country and weather, and find them interesting. I understand they were dominated by Sweden in the past and eventually got free of that. I expect during this time they were required to learn Swedish, so that explains one of the memes you were puzzled by. Currently Ukrainians are working hard to be like the Finns when dealing with a Russian invasion. I hear the farmers are stepping up.
I'm from Finland, and i want to explain some things: First, "Vitutus" when translated literally, means the very same thing as in estonian. Second, learning swedish is mandatory in finnish schools even though 99,9% of native finnish speakers never use it, even when traveling to Sweden because we speak english better. That's why no-one wants to learn it in schools. Yeah, cool video with nice memes! I have to thank the youtube algorithm for suggesting me this video! We fenno-ugric weirdos need to stick together ;)
I've spoken Swedish with a few Finnish friends so I'm kind of happy for you learning it, but we all know English, so I guess it's redundant until Putin comes and we can use it like a secret language
As I'll visit Sweden later this year, I'll speak Swedish with as strong Finnish accent imaginable and when they switch into English, all of a sudden all accent is gone. Hope they'll get my point.
@@Sekir80 It has something to do with etymology and stuff. Research shows that fenno-ugric languages(including hungarian) have the same origins. It is weird, but the connection is there.
I'm from Finland. I believe it was year 2008 when I thought I had developed this thing called 'feelings'. My parents rushed me to the ER, from where I was sent to a specialized care in a hospital. Turns out I just had a really bad case of pneumonia. I survived, and haven't had a feeling besides vitutus ever since.
The "Swedish hate" is more of a sibling rivalry. Mostly just a joke. Also a lot of us never use Swedish after school so it's kinda waste of time but it's mandatory as it's the second official language
The real "Swedish hate" is like 800 years old from the time when swe nobles got lands here(still in 1940 swe speaking fins sat on a lot of power). It still exists because the old money still exists in a few families and today its more against swe speaking fins(Had a 5 year old call out "Kato isi Hurri(that word carries the same hate weigh as the nigr word for black people)" on the train when I spoke on the phone with my mother but it gets more rare every year and now the haters have more minority groups to take out their rage on). It has improved since 1995 but still I can't speak swe in every city after 20:00 without getting someone trying to start a fight(but I assume they are just out to search for fights and my swe is a good enough reason for em) The school swe is more useful if you live on the west side and its a "gateway" to ger/eng but the way they teach you it is messed up(For fs there is no kova b ja pehmeä p, its P or B :D ). They would need to use "Pure" swe and not accents or slang, not even "riikinruotsi" is pure anymore(As a swefin I had problems helping my friend with swe when listening to the swe they use in schools).
Nowadays most Finnswedes are not richer at all than others. Although some regions pay more tax due to high productivity. More importantly, on the west coast where most Finnswedes live, they lived there sometimes since early 1300, so long before Finnish noblemen from Tavast or Varsinais or Karelia ever came to those parts of todays Finland to settle. Finally, yeah Finnswedes have their own brigade, and it's for marine counterattacks which is basically suicide missions. Similarly Tali Ihantala and Tienhaara was held by Finnswedes, and during 1808 war Finnswedish commanders achieved major Victories. Finally, during nationalistic times prepping for independence, many Finnswedes converted to Finnish names or speaking Finnish, to help the Finnish speaking identity. Gallen Kallela, Sibelius etc. It's our country together.
Not from Finland. But my family is, and I can confirm, they feel. But they do not express it, even a little. How do you make your finnish dad laugh? Put him in a full nelson and tell him you won’t let him go until he laughs. You literally have to wrestle it out of them.
Studying swedish is mandatory in Finland, because 5% of the population speaks it as a native language. Imagine, if estonians had to learn russian, because 25% of the population are russian.
4:17 It's about Finland being (no I paraphrase one of my politicians, who knows will know, so it matches Finland): "Russo-Swedish condominium under Japanese trust management", basically that it's just owned by Russia and Sweden and Japan is allowed to use its resources, territory and technology.

Estonians are by far Finland's most beloved neighbor! The Swedes are superficial people. Norwegians surrender too easily :) Russian melancholy is almost the same as ours.
Yes, Estonians are very close to us, but Swedes are not superficial. Those are the same kind of stereotypes that German people eat only sausage and that every Finn is a knife-wielding alcoholic. I find that Finns are more close to Swedes than Russians, by far, both culturally and politically.
@@ToastedCigar We were colonised by Sweden for 800 years, no wonder we seem close to them when they imposed their culture, religion, everything on us! People forget that Swedish destroyed so much that was Finnish. Russians are closer to Finns than Swedish because areas East of Finland (and Estonia, maybe even Southern) used to belong to Finno-Ugric tribes, maybe even Baltic Finns. Slavs didn't come to unhabited lands, they mixed with natives who were our relatives. That's why there are lots of Russians who look like us Finnish. We share same ancestry.
then there is the friendly knife fight before going back to drinking. lol that was what i was told from a friend who went to train with the finns when he was in the USMC
I'm from Finland and we have emotions and feelings but in Finland it were kinda taboo to show your feelings(especially if you are a man) . In thease days it's finally going to change because more and more people are thinking "openly" . Anyways it's always fun to see your videos, man! #Finland
So, before1300, Finland was still mostly tribal, had been since the dawn of settlement, but it lacked any cohesive governance or collective history of the region. The first written records are from the Catholic Church, who at that time was crusading in Finnish tribal land against the Russian Orthodox Church, signed a treaty in 1323 that gave Finnish land to the Swedish crown. Fins had their own language but it was treated as second class for centuries of oppression, by which I mean oppression so severe that by the 1500's an army of peasants with clubs faced down an army of soldiers with guns (and lost) in The Club War. Even after they won (semi) independence (under the Russian crown) in 1809 the ruling classes STILL spoke predominantly Swedish language just because that's how it had always been, and because all the laws were already written in Swedish. It took until actually pretty recently to start changing that and for Finland to win back its own language and identity, and they only declared formal independence from Russia in 1917! THAT'S why the language is kind of a sore spot still, the Swedish ruling class during that period 1323 - 1809 were not great rulers and put Finland in the middle of ... ALL of their wars.
i dont know much about Finland but Njet Molotoff and Säkkijärven Polkka are both really good songs and Sabaton has some good songs about them like White Death, Talvisota, and Soldier of three armies

"Perkele is a coarse swear word in Finnish, which usually means devil.[1] The word is a quote from the Name of the Baltic God of Thunder, which in Lithuania is Perkūnas, in Latvian Perkons and in the AncientPreuss language Percunis. On the other hand , the word is thought to be a loan from Germanic languages."
Finland hates Sweden because , I don't remember the exact time period, but Sweden would use Finland as a buffer zone from Russia, and would use the Finnish to fight their wars with Russia, while the Swedish just sat far away, safe in Sweden
@@p12jacob It wouldn't have been mentioned even if all of the army was made up of people from what today is considered Finland - simply due to how sweden was administrated back then (between about 1350 and 1809 Finland was viewed as a part of Sweden proper rather than as a dominion or a conquered territory - the loss of Finland (1809) wasn't described as "loss of Finland" but rather "a loss of the eastern part of the country"). My tounge-in-cheek comment was that Sweden always have used its parts away from Stockholm as buffers against attacks against Stockholm (Scandia/Skåne against Denmark is another such point (since 1720)). But I guess what Finland is most mad about is the span between 1709 (Battle of Poltava (in effect the end of the swedish empire)) and 1809 (The Finnish War, one of the parts of the Napoleanic Wars) where Sweden regularly got beaten up by Russia up until (The Finnish War) where Russia finally managed to conquer Finland and force Sweden to sign it over. And isn't exactly helped by Sweden's repeated failure to aid Finland, and also the entire Åland dispute (that one didn't get resolved up until the mid 1930s).... Sweden and Russia was in wars on-and-off between 1547 and 1809, and before that was in conflict on-and-off with whatever predated russia for another half millenia or so - so a lot of wars where people from what today would be called Finland dying in wars against what today would be called Russia waged by Sweden.
Speaking of Finland, I just heard that they decided to go with the F-35 over other fighter jets. Also, do you think that Russia's recent military buildup and threat of invasion of Ukraine will lead to Finland and other European countries to join NATO? 🇺🇸💙🇪🇪

Lohikäärme is maybe not the best example of similarities between our languages. Lohikäärme isn't a part of Finnish mythology thus the original language and that is why the word's origin is quite likely a loan from the Skandinavian ancient language word "logi" for both of our languages. Also the part "käärme" is speculated to be added by Mikael Agricola who created the written Finnish language. If we have to compare our languages it is wise to go back to the basics of life and living before we separeted as two nations.
Eestin "lohe" kuulostaa hieman samalta kuin "Louhi", Pohjolan emäntä. Hänkin oli rasittava tapaus ja pystyi lentämään lohikäärmeiden tapaan Sammon ryöstössä. Vaikka tulta hän ei tiettävästi syössytkään, niin voisiko näilläkin sanoilla olla sama alkuperä?
I am from Finland, I have feelings - but my face muscles aren't always attached to my feelings, because I don't always react with my face when I am thinking about what ever shit people think.
I wouldn't say the finno-ugric groups are small, there's you guys the estonian's, the Finish, your distant cousins the magyars (hungarians) who do descend from the finno-ugric people, but there's also the Sami who are mostly controlled by the Russians and the Swedish, and also the Karelians who are also sadly controlled by the Russians.
@@cinderellaandstepsisters that's a neat piece of information, but that's not what I was saying. He made a comment in his video saying that the finno-ugric culture group was small. I was pointing out that it was not really that small because the culture group not only encompasses the Finish and the estonians but also the Sami and Karelians as well as other smaller groups scattered throughout Russia, and also the magyars are descendants of the finno-ugric group as well. But still that's a nice piece of information
@Rey Gonzales And theres also the Mari, Udmurt, Komi etc. all being finno-ugric people. My great grandma always used to say that finns and other finno-ugrians originated from "Volgan mutka" wich is translated to "the bend of river Volga" in Russia.
This isn’t criticism but one thing that drew me to the channel was watching you react to historical events. It was just cool to see how someone in a different country views things differently than I might. If I could make a suggestion it would be to make more reactions on history videos or even just your thoughts on other worldly events that are currently going on.
Learning Swedish is hated in Finland because it is obligatory for all in preliminary school and high school. To pass your University degree you also need to pass Swedish language test, which is supposedly making sure that you can work in your field in Swedish. However, I have passed it myself, but please god, do not force me to speak Swedish. I really cannot.
Summer speed limit on highways is 120kmh and winter speedlimit is 100kmh. We also have big (illegal) moped tuning culture here. Big part of the mopeds are tuned to go over the legal 45kmh limit. Greetings from finland!
Actually, Russian-Finnish relations have always been good, except during the Stalin era. Even during the Russian Empire era, even though Finland was occupied by Russia, they enjoyed one of the best living standards and autonomy within the empire, and actually, when the Russian Empire was falling apart, there were factions loyal to Russia, that fought for remaining within the empire. Luckily for them, they didn't remain in Russia, because the Soviet Union proved itself a bad place to be in during the first half of it's existence, so they definitely dodged a bullet there. Anyways, they always come to Russia for shopping because everything is cheaper, and they also have Russian translations available for us, so why not keep the good relations?
Everywhere else in the world: Bears are dangerous. Stay away from them and if they attack, curl into a ball and hope they lose interest."

Swede here. We dont hate Norway or Finland. Its a love/hate relasionship. With Norway we fight with skiing, and with Finland its hockey! Its kinda like a sibling rivalry. With Sweden as the whiny middle child, Norway as the spoiled brat and Finland as the sadistic teenager who just enjoys bullying his siblings. Just as a matter of how they feel in relations and not to represent actual age of the country.
Finns have got a lot of feelings. It is one of the most human countries in the world. Finland won the war against Soviet union. They retained the freedom and independence unlike Baltic countries.
5:28 Clearing things up, our top speed is 100KM/H on highways, and 80 in the smaller country roads. Also I don't think we are "slow" whatever that means, I think we are stoic and reserved towards people we don't know, sure.

Nobody actually hates sweden but lets be honest u were bastards in the past and it can be still seen in social structure, landskape and over all in finland. But nobody really cares for that anymore (except the manditory swedish).
Finns do have feelings, we're all just so good at acting like we don't ;)
Gotta stay cool!
Nah, I've seen plenty of Finnish feelings. Usually they're shades of anger, though. I thoroughly enjoy a swearing Finn. My favorite quote from a Finn was my friend Lauri getting wrecked in a game, and he said, "I'm going to f*cking fill your ass with my balls of fire, you[indeterminate Finnish swearing]."
Of course everyone have feelings, but why would I share them with somebody?
They are my feelings. Like money. I am not going to share my money.
I have feelings and I even have told my wife about them. Like yesterday I told her that I'm feeling hunger.
As a Finn I can guarantee that Finns do have feelings. Lots of feelings. All hidden and bottled up inside, pushed deep where they can't affect us until the pressure grows too high and it's time to PERKELE
Can we just appreciate how good he is at the accordion?
Indeed! Stupendously amazing intro. My personal suspicion for the finnish nickname pirunkeuhkot (translates to Devil's lungs) would be reference to the extreme diffuculty to get them sound something else than wailing of the poor souls writhing in the lake of fire, instead of the actual music after someone has learned such mastery of the accordion.
I don't know where the "Finns are slow" stereotype comes from. I'd argue that the slowness is stereotypically a western Finnish trait, but the more towards the east you go, the faster the people become. All of my Finnish relatives from the east are anything but slow, they speak very fast with a heavy dialect, are very lively in general and very emotional despite being Finns. Karelians seem to be very atypical Finns. 😂
Tavastians aka Hämäläiset are considered to be slow and I can totally see that. Hämäläiset on nuukia ja miettii jokaista liikettään ettei varmasti tee hätiköityjä päätöksiä.
@@angryfinnishfarmer Laihialaaset on nuukia kans ;)
Yeah we keep the fastness on the closed roads in rallies
Im originally from eastern part of Finland, and didn't also get that "slow thing". Im also very emotional, I have a lot of emotions, including "vitutus" also 😏
Jos tuon hitausmeemin alkuperää ei joku hämäläinen vielä ymmärtänyt, meemin alkuperä on saman tien selvitetty ja todistettu 🤪
Your accordion is on point! I have followed your channel since years ago and I am so happy to see you thrive. Go estonian brother, Finno-ugrics for the win!
And Finns loves Estonians. We are brothers and respect each others a lot. Our language and culture is so unique comparing other countries.
This is very true :) I've been so many times in Estonia, i love the country and the people :)
As a British person living in Finland, it is somewhat refreshing, although I did hear a car go by last night with what we brits call, a "bean can" (enlarged exhaust pipe) which chavs in the UK like to have as it floats their boat. But Honestly, some bus drivers in Finland have gone fast enough that I have seen old people be knocked over because of it, then stop as they realise their mistake, followed by a "voi ei, saatana". I am glad I moved here.
All the Nordic countries like to joke about each other, but in reality are close. No one really hates anyone. I am from Sweden. We joke a lot about Norway and Denmark, but I've never heard anyone joke about Finland. I believe that we secretly have great respect for our brothers and sisters in Finland. They're tough.
I love the music it would be awesome to hear more. I already looked up everything i could find. Loved it all!
Great video, I’m from Upper Michigan growing up I remember watching Finland Calling hosted by Carl Pellonpaa. As far as I was aware, it was the only Finnish language program in the US. And if you go to Hancock, Michigan the street name signs are in Finnish.
This was a lot of fun. I once visited Helsinki for a day , and recently have become entranced by the Finnish band Nightwish. I am Canadian, so can identify with the country and weather, and find them interesting. I understand they were dominated by Sweden in the past and eventually got free of that. I expect during this time they were required to learn Swedish, so that explains one of the memes you were puzzled by. Currently Ukrainians are working hard to be like the Finns when dealing with a Russian invasion. I hear the farmers are stepping up.
I'm in Texas, but I am rooting and praying for all you guys. My paternal grandmother was born in Poland, so...
Good channel. We don't hate Swedish. Swedish people are good and friendly neighbors. Greetings from Helsinki. :)
I'm from Finland, and i want to explain some things:
First, "Vitutus" when translated literally, means the very same thing as in estonian. Second, learning swedish is mandatory in finnish schools even though 99,9% of native finnish speakers never use it, even when traveling to Sweden because we speak english better. That's why no-one wants to learn it in schools.
Yeah, cool video with nice memes! I have to thank the youtube algorithm for suggesting me this video! We fenno-ugric weirdos need to stick together ;)
Last time I was in Sweden I tried to buy cigarettes speaking Swedish. The cashier just answered in English.
I've spoken Swedish with a few Finnish friends so I'm kind of happy for you learning it, but we all know English, so I guess it's redundant until Putin comes and we can use it like a secret language
As I'll visit Sweden later this year, I'll speak Swedish with as strong Finnish accent imaginable and when they switch into English, all of a sudden all accent is gone. Hope they'll get my point.
fenno-ugric weirdos? I'll tell what our lohikäärme is: sárkány! Now, could someone explain to me how the Hungarian considered fenno-ugric? :D
@@Sekir80 It has something to do with etymology and stuff. Research shows that fenno-ugric languages(including hungarian) have the same origins. It is weird, but the connection is there.
I'm from Finland. I believe it was year 2008 when I thought I had developed this thing called 'feelings'. My parents rushed me to the ER, from where I was sent to a specialized care in a hospital. Turns out I just had a really bad case of pneumonia. I survived, and haven't had a feeling besides vitutus ever since.
The "Swedish hate" is more of a sibling rivalry. Mostly just a joke. Also a lot of us never use Swedish after school so it's kinda waste of time but it's mandatory as it's the second official language
The real "Swedish hate" is like 800 years old from the time when swe nobles got lands here(still in 1940 swe speaking fins sat on a lot of power). It still exists because the old money still exists in a few families and today its more against swe speaking fins(Had a 5 year old call out "Kato isi Hurri(that word carries the same hate weigh as the nigr word for black people)" on the train when I spoke on the phone with my mother but it gets more rare every year and now the haters have more minority groups to take out their rage on). It has improved since 1995 but still I can't speak swe in every city after 20:00 without getting someone trying to start a fight(but I assume they are just out to search for fights and my swe is a good enough reason for em)
The school swe is more useful if you live on the west side and its a "gateway" to ger/eng but the way they teach you it is messed up(For fs there is no kova b ja pehmeä p, its P or B :D ). They would need to use "Pure" swe and not accents or slang, not even "riikinruotsi" is pure anymore(As a swefin I had problems helping my friend with swe when listening to the swe they use in schools).
Nowadays most Finnswedes are not richer at all than others. Although some regions pay more tax due to high productivity. More importantly, on the west coast where most Finnswedes live, they lived there sometimes since early 1300, so long before Finnish noblemen from Tavast or Varsinais or Karelia ever came to those parts of todays Finland to settle.
Finally, yeah Finnswedes have their own brigade, and it's for marine counterattacks which is basically suicide missions. Similarly Tali Ihantala and Tienhaara was held by Finnswedes, and during 1808 war Finnswedish commanders achieved major Victories. Finally, during nationalistic times prepping for independence, many Finnswedes converted to Finnish names or speaking Finnish, to help the Finnish speaking identity. Gallen Kallela, Sibelius etc.
It's our country together.
Finns have feelings. We are free to express those feelings whenever and choose not to.
Not from Finland. But my family is, and I can confirm, they feel. But they do not express it, even a little. How do you make your finnish dad laugh? Put him in a full nelson and tell him you won’t let him go until he laughs. You literally have to wrestle it out of them.
My mother's is from Finland. We have lots of family there and have visited a number of times. Hoping to get there again next year!
Studying swedish is mandatory in Finland, because 5% of the population speaks it as a native language.
Imagine, if estonians had to learn russian, because 25% of the population are russian.

Sweden is the second official language in Finland so it is taught in schools. And many doesn't like it.
4:17 It's about Finland being (no I paraphrase one of my politicians, who knows will know, so it matches Finland): "Russo-Swedish condominium under Japanese trust management", basically that it's just owned by Russia and Sweden and Japan is allowed to use its resources, territory and technology.

Greetings from United States
You are amazing
Estonians are by far Finland's most beloved neighbor! The Swedes are superficial people. Norwegians surrender too easily :) Russian melancholy is almost the same as ours.
Yes, Estonians are very close to us, but Swedes are not superficial. Those are the same kind of stereotypes that German people eat only sausage and that every Finn is a knife-wielding alcoholic. I find that Finns are more close to Swedes than Russians, by far, both culturally and politically.
@@ToastedCigar I personally feel that way, but you're right.
@@ToastedCigar We were colonised by Sweden for 800 years, no wonder we seem close to them when they imposed their culture, religion, everything on us! People forget that Swedish destroyed so much that was Finnish. Russians are closer to Finns than Swedish because areas East of Finland (and Estonia, maybe even Southern) used to belong to Finno-Ugric tribes, maybe even Baltic Finns. Slavs didn't come to unhabited lands, they mixed with natives who were our relatives. That's why there are lots of Russians who look like us Finnish. We share same ancestry.
You played the Accordion for us!! Woo Hoo! Woo Hoo! I Loved it! I watched that part 3 times. Thank you Artur!
As a Finn, I admit, we do not have feelings.
WE'RE AFTER YOU
As a Finnish American, I am glad you are bringing this up! Great pride in 🇫🇮
no we have feelings. It's just that every feeling looks the same when you're sober. You gotta get drunk to really get your feelings show up
then there is the friendly knife fight before going back to drinking. lol that was what i was told from a friend who went to train with the finns when he was in the USMC
Funny how like Italians are always showing emotions. Like the warmer it is feelings come out, the colder it is they stay inside 🤔😅
I'm from Finland and we have emotions and feelings but in Finland it were kinda taboo to show your feelings(especially if you are a man) . In thease days it's finally going to change because more and more people are thinking "openly" . Anyways it's always fun to see your videos, man!
#Finland
love when u play the accordion
You should definetly do more of these reactions. I love them.
So, before1300, Finland was still mostly tribal, had been since the dawn of settlement, but it lacked any cohesive governance or collective history of the region. The first written records are from the Catholic Church, who at that time was crusading in Finnish tribal land against the Russian Orthodox Church, signed a treaty in 1323 that gave Finnish land to the Swedish crown. Fins had their own language but it was treated as second class for centuries of oppression, by which I mean oppression so severe that by the 1500's an army of peasants with clubs faced down an army of soldiers with guns (and lost) in The Club War. Even after they won (semi) independence (under the Russian crown) in 1809 the ruling classes STILL spoke predominantly Swedish language just because that's how it had always been, and because all the laws were already written in Swedish. It took until actually pretty recently to start changing that and for Finland to win back its own language and identity, and they only declared formal independence from Russia in 1917! THAT'S why the language is kind of a sore spot still, the Swedish ruling class during that period 1323 - 1809 were not great rulers and put Finland in the middle of ... ALL of their wars.
This.
i dont know much about Finland but Njet Molotoff and Säkkijärven Polkka are both really good songs
and Sabaton has some good songs about them like White Death, Talvisota, and Soldier of three armies
We love our Estonian friends
We do have feelings! I have watched you a long time ago and now got recommended this video. I'm happy to see that you have better quality videos today.
"Perkele is a coarse swear word in Finnish, which usually means devil.[1] The word is a quote from the Name of the Baltic God of Thunder, which in Lithuania is Perkūnas, in Latvian Perkons and in the AncientPreuss language Percunis. On the other hand , the word is thought to be a loan from Germanic languages."
Põrguline in Estonian, also devil or bogey, doesn't translate well into English. But can be both noun and adjective

Finland hates Sweden because , I don't remember the exact time period, but Sweden would use Finland as a buffer zone from Russia, and would use the Finnish to fight their wars with Russia, while the Swedish just sat far away, safe in Sweden
So, it's kind of like the Germans ruling over the Estonians.
The exact time period is about 1100A.D up until whatever date it is when you read this ;)
Or 1100-1809 if you prefer.
What war was that, i dont remember a war when the Swedish army was made of 100% finnish soldiers?
we hate sweden 1 because we have to learn swedish for no real reason at all, and 2 sweden's support in the winter war was minimal.
@@p12jacob It wouldn't have been mentioned even if all of the army was made up of people from what today is considered Finland - simply due to how sweden was administrated back then (between about 1350 and 1809 Finland was viewed as a part of Sweden proper rather than as a dominion or a conquered territory - the loss of Finland (1809) wasn't described as "loss of Finland" but rather "a loss of the eastern part of the country").
My tounge-in-cheek comment was that Sweden always have used its parts away from Stockholm as buffers against attacks against Stockholm (Scandia/Skåne against Denmark is another such point (since 1720)).
But I guess what Finland is most mad about is the span between 1709 (Battle of Poltava (in effect the end of the swedish empire)) and 1809 (The Finnish War, one of the parts of the Napoleanic Wars) where Sweden regularly got beaten up by Russia up until (The Finnish War) where Russia finally managed to conquer Finland and force Sweden to sign it over. And isn't exactly helped by Sweden's repeated failure to aid Finland, and also the entire Åland dispute (that one didn't get resolved up until the mid 1930s)....
Sweden and Russia was in wars on-and-off between 1547 and 1809, and before that was in conflict on-and-off with whatever predated russia for another half millenia or so - so a lot of wars where people from what today would be called Finland dying in wars against what today would be called Russia waged by Sweden.
ok i love your videos sir. i enjoy watching videos from people from other parts of the world.
thank you for sharing.
Speaking of Finland, I just heard that they decided to go with the F-35 over other fighter jets. Also, do you think that Russia's recent military buildup and threat of invasion of Ukraine will lead to Finland and other European countries to join NATO? 🇺🇸💙🇪🇪

Lohikäärme is maybe not the best example of similarities between our languages. Lohikäärme isn't a part of Finnish mythology thus the original language and that is why the word's origin is quite likely a loan from the Skandinavian ancient language word "logi" for both of our languages. Also the part "käärme" is speculated to be added by Mikael Agricola who created the written Finnish language. If we have to compare our languages it is wise to go back to the basics of life and living before we separeted as two nations.
Eestin "lohe" kuulostaa hieman samalta kuin "Louhi", Pohjolan emäntä. Hänkin oli rasittava tapaus ja pystyi lentämään lohikäärmeiden tapaan Sammon ryöstössä. Vaikka tulta hän ei tiettävästi syössytkään, niin voisiko näilläkin sanoilla olla sama alkuperä?

I wouldn't say the finno-ugric groups are small, there's you guys the estonian's, the Finish, your distant cousins the magyars (hungarians) who do descend from the finno-ugric people, but there's also the Sami who are mostly controlled by the Russians and the Swedish, and also the Karelians who are also sadly controlled by the Russians.
Nobody knows surely where finns and estonians come from.
@@cinderellaandstepsisters that's a neat piece of information, but that's not what I was saying. He made a comment in his video saying that the finno-ugric culture group was small. I was pointing out that it was not really that small because the culture group not only encompasses the Finish and the estonians but also the Sami and Karelians as well as other smaller groups scattered throughout Russia, and also the magyars are descendants of the finno-ugric group as well. But still that's a nice piece of information
@Rey Gonzales And theres also the Mari, Udmurt, Komi etc. all being finno-ugric people. My great grandma always used to say that finns and other finno-ugrians originated from "Volgan mutka" wich is translated to "the bend of river Volga" in Russia.

The name Molotov is extra funny in Finnish, because in Finnish "molo" is a slang term for... "the big D".
Learning Swedish is hated in Finland because it is obligatory for all in preliminary school and high school. To pass your University degree you also need to pass Swedish language test, which is supposedly making sure that you can work in your field in Swedish. However, I have passed it myself, but please god, do not force me to speak Swedish. I really cannot.

Actually, Russian-Finnish relations have always been good, except during the Stalin era.
Even during the Russian Empire era, even though Finland was occupied by Russia, they enjoyed one of the best living standards and autonomy within the empire, and actually, when the Russian Empire was falling apart, there were factions loyal to Russia, that fought for remaining within the empire.
Luckily for them, they didn't remain in Russia, because the Soviet Union proved itself a bad place to be in during the first half of it's existence, so they definitely dodged a bullet there.
Anyways, they always come to Russia for shopping because everything is cheaper, and they also have Russian translations available for us, so why not keep the good relations?
finnish relations with russia severed during the times of oppression in late 1800 and early 1900
Stealing Karelen, Petsamo ond other areas is not forgetable.
