- Hello Language People! [DISCLAIMER at 1:07 - MAIN VIDEO at 2:10]
This is a special video to wish you happy holidays!
--- Can we really always say "the same thing" in other languages?
In this video I'm showing you - with a bit of humour perhaps - how my way of expressing my feelings would change depending on whether I speak Italian or Finnish... Hope you enjoy!
How would YOU say those things in YOUR language(s)?
Let me know in the comments!

Enjoy your holidays and see you next year!

As a Finn, I feel the last "kiitos" was a little bit too enthusiastic ;)
Great video, made me laugh (And as a Finn, I mean it made me breath out a little heavier than usual)
XD
We do have different "amounts" of thanks... you can go with kiitoksia or paljon kiitoksia -- then there's the extreme ones: tuhannet/miljoonat kiitokset.
😆
😂😂😂😂
@@elderscrollsswimmer4833 But normally it's: "Kiitti."
This was great. I was expecting a serious video with the exact same lines in Italian and Finnish, but this was so much better.
So glad you liked the little surprise :)
It went all wrong.
Finn: Ei menny niinku Strömsössä.
Niinpä, senkin oon kuullut!
Meni ihan perseelleen
Nauroin ääneen :D
Not only is your Finnish excellent, but you have also embraced Finnish culture fundamentally!
Huonommankin videon olisi voinut tehdä.
Hahah kiitos Pasi! Keitänkö kahvia? :D
Voi kysyä myös, että keitänkö kahvit?
You are right, the Finns don't verbalize their feelings very much, but I have always found them to be super friendly and warm and helpful.
I can only confirm :)
"I love you" x 100 - the Teflon Brothers & Pandora. ;)
As a Swedish Finn, I'd say you're pretty spot on. 😂😂
Finlandssvenska låter mer eller mindre som svenska som uttalas av en italienare😂
Oh my god. This is hilarious. I loved the Italian part so much. I just could see so much "Italian" in it. All the emotions. Wonderful.
I'm so happy that you liked it! :)
Italians love overstatements 😂👍
Cheers from Italy 💗IT
I get that you're leaning heavily on stereotypes, but still... your portrayal of the Finnish way to express feelings is head on! Of course there is variation, people are individuals, but I have used and heard every one of those phrases myself. They really capture the deeply entrenched melancholy that is part of our cultural heritage :D Sama suomeksi: Kyllähän tuon katso.
It's all true :D It made me think about those times when my finnish girlfriend told me "chill out" thinking that I was mad but I was actually just passionate about the topic. Or those times where instead of looking at me in the eyes she was staring at my hands moving in the air ahahah
Grande Francesco! How cool that you stopped by :) Been there, by the way :D
Haha the ones about finns were quite accurate! Well done. Hyvää joulua!
Kiva, että tykkäsit! Hyvää joulua!
Italian and Finnish expressiveness ... at different ends of the scale.
I don't understand a word of Finnish... However, I love German and I think they have a very similar way of expressing their euphoria hahahah
First I wanted to tell you that you were wrong...but then i watched the video and you are right😂
Brian... I am German... and i do agree here.... we are more Finnish... than Italian...hahahahaha
More truthful than a joke! Facial expressions, tone of voice, and body-language, and the whole attitude towards life and people changes accordingly. The total was illuminating!
One has to dare this transformation to melt into a language community!
Hieno homma, Stefano! Kiitos! Voit antaa tulla lisää vaan! :-)
So smart, so handsome and so funny!! We love you!
Love you too!
Ten years a go I was with six native Finns at Heerlen Netherlands. We went to restaurant and take beers and played cards while waiting food. We spoke loudly Finnish. One of us was blond and others brown or dark haired. We noticed that locals we talking and guessing where we are from. When it was time to leave we asked them to make gues where we are from. They said Italian! They were really supriced to hear that we were Finns..
Hahah that's a really good one :D Talking loudly = Italians :D
@@linguaEpassione And the key here is, that the Finns were taking beers and getting under the influence of alcohol, which brings their behavior very active and emotional and the speech very loud :) If they would have been totally sober, then there never would have been guessed as Italians :D
I'm impressed with your Finnish accent. Well done!!
Suomalainen: tonnin seteli- ilmeellä mennnään xD
Awesome video! Thanks!
Sinun suomenkieli on huippu hyvä!
Tuntuu että Suomalainenkaan ei puhu noin hyvin Suomea
No ihan ok. Olis voinut olla huonompikin.
Allora ma come sei bravo, bravissimo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great experience) That's why I love so much Italian language, Italy and Italians) Sei bravo, grazie😍👏🌹
Grazie a te Anna, sono felice che il video ti sia piaciuto
A Welsh speaking Welsh man from Cardiff here, learning Spanish. This video is so good! Funny and accurate, from my experience anyway! Grazie! In the early 2000s, I worked in an office in Dublin within a multi-cultural / multi-lingual team. My friend Juha is from Finland, another, Silvia, is from Italy, just outside Rome, Roberta is from Rome itself and Luisa from Sardinia. Tanya and Martina from Germany. Rosario and Miguel are from Spain (Rosario from Andalucía and Miguel from Segovia. Gábor from Hungary. Juha was the funniest man, yet very deep and a good soul. But yes, a man of few words, even when you knew how passionate he felt about a subject. Each Italian had a different way of expressing themselves! Silvia is so laid back, Roberta is wonderfully crazy... It was a great place to work. I'm in touch with most of my colleagues from then, thanks to social networking! Thank you for this! Grazie! I've subscribed... :)
As a Finn I found this so funny and very accurate 😂 great job! Also your pronounciation is soo good!
Moi Allu, kiitoksia oikein paljon, tosi kiva että tykkäsit!
Mitico! I feel like you could do the same video for American vs. British English 😀
Hauska video, voin samaistua. Kiitos videoista ja hyvää joulua!
Kiitos itsellesi ja oikein hyvää jouluiltaa!
No jaa...ihan kiva. 😆
Kiitos! Otatko kahvia vai teetä? xD
Sehr schön wie immer!
Ich will die Italienische Sprache lernen, sie klingt ganz toll!
Danke wie immer, Callum! Viel Spaß mit Italienisch, wenn Du damit anfängst ;)
Gute Entscheidung, Italienisch ist eine wunderschoene Sprache!! 😊💗IT
The “I love you” cracked me up! 😂❤️
It is so funny! I was laughing by myself! I am a Finnish person and beginning to learn Italian!
Heheh well, perfect video for you then! I'm really glad you liked it! Feel free to share it with your Finnish and Italian friends so that they can have a laugh too! Lämpimästi kiitoksia vielä kerran! (keitänkö kahvia?)
Haha, this was great. I genuinely cracked up at the "noni" bit, even though that's the only Finnish I understand.
The Nordic countries could pretty much ALL be summed up with "Coffee, anyone?"
2am in Stockholm, arriving home. "Kaffe innan du lägger dig?"
"Ja, tack."
You are a master of not only languages but also cultures, Stefano! Do you think the climate in a country affects people’s character too?
Eikös toi "mää tykkään susta" ole nyt vähän liian hurjaa meininkiä? Ei tässä nyt italialaisiksi ole tarkoitus ryhtyä. Käyttäisin ennemmin lausetta "Oot ok" tai ehkä on parempi jättää tuollaiset lörpöttelyt kokonaan pois.
Kihlattu: Rakastatko mua?
Veli: No joo.
Kihlattu: Mut ku et koskaan sano.
Veli: Oonpas.
Kihlattu: Seitsemän vuotta sitten! Mutt rakastatko mua vielä?
Veli: Älä nyh. Kyll mä sanon sitten jos en enää.
@@DNA350ppm: Dave Lindholm on osannut selittää suomen kielen nyansseja aika hyvin tässä:
th-cam.com/video/jaBOZSlgL04/w-d-xo.html
"Kun mä sanon 'rakastan sua' - mä tarkotan sitä kokonaan.
Kun mä sanon 'joo, mä rakastan sua' - epäilen jo paljon.
Mut jos mä sanon 'joo-joo, mä rakastan sua' - mä oon varma että valehtelen."
@@likingraccoons Great, you nailed it with this quote! Kiitos!
@@DNA350ppm : Great to hear, kiitos! I thought about this a little further and came to a conclusion that when it comes to _deep feelings_of Finns, less is more in Finnish. And really tiny nuances count. And the silence speaks volumes, too. In finnish, there are different kinds of silence. A loving silence is an evidence of trust and love. "I'm comfortable and trust you enough to be silent". Then there's this hostile silence, "I'm not going to waste my words with you". Mykkäkoulu it's called in close relationships, but it can occure in other situations too, but it's tiny bit different. But nevertheless, silence speaks volumes.
And no matter how much words anyone produces from their mouth, we human beings interact 90 % on other levels than spoken words. It's amazing and frustrating at the same time.
Have a good weekend!
@@likingraccoons Right there, too! Acts and words should tell the same message. Finns are trustworthy in general.

😁 Tosi hauska video, kiitos paljon! 👍
Kiitos! Kiva että tykkäsit!!!
Käyttäisin 2. kohtaan tämän: “Ei ollu ihan perseestä”😂😂😂
Haha, especially that last bit with a cup of coffee was on point :D
Hehe kiitos Topi, keitänkö sulle kahvia? :D
@@linguaEpassione No jos sitä yhden kupin joisi :D
I know it's not the right video to ask but could you please recommend some online sources or books to buy to learn Icelandic?
I just subscribed!
OMG that's hilarious. As a Canadian Finn, I find that when socialising with other non-Finns I tend to be more up beat when speaking. But I have found that when I'm socialising with Finns, I have a tendency to come across more sombre. Didn't really realise that until my children pointed it out.
Happy you liked it! That is interesting to hear, thank you so much for sharing! =)
@Marianna Parikka Funny how Finns in Finland seem to be more "chill" about things. Just as Stefano illustrated in this video.
I like your videos!
Can you do a vídeo about tips that can help to learn german?
Spettacolo 🤣🤣
Bello questo modo di vedere la vita finlandese 🔥
Mielenkiintoisia videoita ja hauskojakin. 😁 Totta tuo kulttuurin vaikutus kieleen. Omasta mielestä suomen kieli on kehittynyt aikojen saatossa omanlaisekseen, varsinkin tunteiden ilmaisussa. Entisaikoina ihmiset elivät pienemmissä piireissä ja tunsivat toisensa ja tapansa, eli tarkoitan, että suomen kielessä tunteiden ilmaisua ymmärtääkseen täytyy tuntea toinen entuudestaan henkilökohtaisesti. Universaalisti ihmiset eivät näytä tunteitaan suoraan, ne verhotaan omalla tavallaan joka kulttuurissa, siis näin itse ajattelen. Vastakohtana suomen kielelle on yhdysvalloissa puhuttu englanti, jossa melkein kaikki ihmiset ovat jostain muualta ja eri kulttuureista. Olisiko siitä kehittynyt se smalltalk? It is much easier to say I love You than minä rakastan sinua. 🤔
Miten Italiassa?
Kiitos, tää oli kyllä tosi hauska ja uskon, että vastaa aika hyvin todellisuutta. 😄👍👍
As a Finn I had a good laugh!
Aaaah, nice to hear that! :)
Laughed throughout. I know some Latin (and therefore I think I understand some Italian), but the differences in the expression were spot on!
Hehe thank you SO much, I'm happy you had a good laugh from this!
Amazing! hahahaha i will show it to my husband who is Swedish.
Ho appena scoperto il tuo canale, sto cominciando a studiare finlandese, hai qualche libro che mi puoi consigliare? Hai usato/conosci, Suomen mestari? cosa ne pensi?
Muchas gracias y continúa estudiando e inspirando!
Just näin se menee. Ei turhia 'liiallisuuksia'. Hyvää uutta vuotta 2020!
😂😂😂I looove it! :) ah, this Finnish restraint ❤️
Have you ever thought about learning polish? It's really difficult (I'm Polish). Btw you are a huge inspiration to learning languages. I hope I will be able to speak at least 2 foreign languages in the future. I admire you! 🤗
Thank you so much for the kind comment! Yes, I have thought many times about what's going to be my first Slavic language... Polish, Ukranian and others are the best candidates :)
@@linguaEpassione le lingue slave sono più facili del finlandese
Huikee video! :D Oon jo jonkun vuoden seurannut sun kanavaa, mutta jostain syystä vasta nyt näin tän videon. Joka tapauksessa pidän kyllä näistä missä puhut eri kielillä (varsinkin suomeksi) ja kaiken lisäksi vielä täydellisellä lausumisella.
BTW. oot ollut myös hieno inspiraatio opiskella lisää kieliä vapaa-ajalla, koulussa opittujen lisäksi!! Jatka samaan malliin näitä videoita!
Non so il finlandese ma comunque mi è piaciuto un sacco :D O meglio, potrebbe essere peggio...
Haha grazie Davide! E buon Natale :)
Hauska video!
Ho riso molto :D
Che grande Stefano =) Quand'è che facciamo il video con i gesti italiani? :-D
Grande Luca! La prossima volta che passo da Roma, non mi scappi! xD
Però devo starci anch'io :D
Video excellente. Proprio così ! Se on just tollai !
Nice video and very interesting!
Hai imparato lingua georgiana?
Just watched with my girlfriend and we had a blast 😀 great video
Great to hear that! :) Thanks for the comment!
wow that's actually fascinating
Isn't it? :)
Niin hassu video! Nostan hattua sinulle!!
Kiitos Esteban!! :)
Really had fun. Tnks
Kiitos itsellesi!
To the last one I would have said: "Tattis."
Tattista vaan.
Ciao, volevo chiederti una cosa: come stai studiando il georgiano? Volevo imparare l'azero, una lingua molto vicina geograficamente. Online ho trovato poche risorse e quindi volevo un tuo consiglio.
... pullakahvit?
Splendido video!
Grazie Alberto!
A personal question: I have known French rather well and my English is excellent. In additon, my mother tongue is Swedish and I know Danish and Norwegian. Lastly, my German is quite good. Of course my knowledge of the Finish language is close to perfect.
How hard would you say it would be for me to learn Italian? I would really appreciate an answer.
Toinen Osoite you speak many languages. Learning another language shouldn’t be very difficult, also you already learned French that is quite similar to italian so you could learn Italian quite easily.
My heart...😂😂😂
Pretty accurate, im half finnish and half italian (tho i cant speak or understand italian i still do know some of the ways and how people and family speak to each other) so yes this was somewhat accurate xDDDD
Kiitos Simplegamer, I appreciate that a lot! :) Grazie e a presto! :)
Hieman saatoin naurahtaa 😄 Ihan mahtava!! 😂😂 Saluti dalla Finlandia!
Heheh kiitos e saluti myös sinne!
@@linguaEpassione Prego, e grazie! 😃
Very funny! I guess you played it down just a little with Finnish expressions though... Keep these videos coming.
Heheh, kiitos Vesa!
👏👏👏👏
Nice video
Have you seen Ismo Leikola’s videos? They are both in Finnish and English. He won the title The Most Funny Person Of The World.
Of course I have, he's among my absolute favourites!
😂 so accurate, really funny
Hahah kiitos Isla!
i love this
Kiitos, Lotta!
Hahaha laughed so much !!
I'm glad you liked it! :)
Ho scoperto stasera questo canale. Ci tornerò
Ciao Marina, grazie del commento e benvenuta!
Oli aika jees 😂
Hahah kiva että tykkäsit niin paljon :)))
Sometimes true! 😁
:-P
You probably know already... (So, i don't have to explain) What do you think about Finnish-Italo covers? one most known must be "Aikuinen nainen" = "Maledetta primavera".
No joo, ihan hyvä.
გამარჯობა სტეფანო მე გიყურებდი ცოტა ადრე და ეხლა გამახსენდი რო არსებობდი ალბათ 3-4 თვე არ გიყურებდი როგორც მახსოვს და რამე საიტი არ გაქ რომ იტალიური მასწავლო? :)
Hi Steffano! I am from Georgia and I already watched you maybe 3-4 month ago and can u learn me italian somewhere maybe if u have site or something like that =)
Salve. Sai anche scrivere/leggere il giapponese ed il cinese o solo parlare? Mi hanno detto che la grammatica di queste lingue non è troppo difficile, il problema è la scrittura.
Ciao! Il giapponese so anche leggerlo e scriverlo (anche se limitatamente a circa 1300 ideogrammi - l'ideale sarebbe 2000++), mentre di cinese ho solo conoscenze orali di base, ma devo dire che gli ideogrammi giapponesi aiutano a capire un certo numero di caratteri cinesi. La grammatica giapponese non la definirei semplice, quella cinese invece sì, per lo meno all'inizio / intermedio. Poi tutto si fa più complicato :)
I didn't know where they were the same.
Although i'm still learning italian i think is was the right stereotype (Romanian)
Haha, davvero divertente. Me suomalaiset olemme hieman lakoonisia, mutta pinnan alla kuohuu enemmän ja sakeammin:)
Niin, mä tiedän! Senhän takia luulen, että vasta kielen kautta pääsee tuntemaan ihmisiä paremmin :)
And for your information - our finnish language has long been our protection. A foreign person is easily identified as soon as he/she opens his/hers mouth. You may well understand this joke: in the wartime, the enemy sent paratroopers "desantti" to make harm in the home front. So often some people were arrested, and their guilty was about. The simple finnish first interrogation question was: "say the first three numbers!" ie yksi-kaksi-kolme. If the output was yksi-kaksi-kolme, that guy was freed. But if the output was juksi-kaksi-kolme - the deem was: to be shot - next!
Perus suomalaiset🤣🤣 Ei vaa kiinnosta🤣🤣
You nailed the Finn, but the Italian wasn't very believable ;).
Hahah brilliant comment! (and probably true as well xD)
Watching this as I am studying in Finland while my sister in Italy. 😎
Heheh, thank you for your comment, Lin Li! Hope you're enjoying your stay in Finland!
@@linguaEpassione Kiitos!
Tää oli hyvä 🤣🤣🤣
Kiva ku tykkäsit!
Kiitos vaan kun vatsaan sattuu naurusta. Äännät niin hyvin suomea että morjes. Se on tampereeksi että juuh.
Vautsi, kiitos paljon itsellesi mahtavasta kommentista!
so funny :)
For everyone familiar with fornula 1 this is like watching Kimi Räikkönen & Ferrari press conferences
hahahah this comment is AWESOME! :D thank you for sharing :D
I love you so much❤
ოქრო ხარ
Muute en huomannu tätä äijjää, ite siis tuli ihan randomi kiinostuksen kohde opiskelee Italiaa noin puol vuotta sitten Duolingossa, iha aktiivisesti vielä.
Eu gostaria de saber o eu perfil lá no Italki por favor, obrigado
Olá Classicossauro, por favor descuple lá o atraso na minha resposta. O meu perfil no Italki está disponível aqui: teach.italki.com/teacher/3103717 - Espero conhecê-lo um dia, tudo de bom!
a ver... con cual lado te identificarás mas tú mismo? :D
Hehe muy buena pregunta! Talvez a veces con uno, a veces con el otro xD
Are you finnish? Because you didn't have an accent (like most of the people who learn finnish do), and it sounded like it was coming from a finnish mouth. This is coming from a finn, keep up the good work 🤟🏻🤟🏻
Wow, thanks so much, I appreciate your compliment! En oo suomalainen mutta tykkään Suomesta tosi paljon :)
Il tuo video va bene.
Suomen kielen ilmainen pikakurssi; Kimi Räikkösen haastattelut, nähtävillä youtubessa!
Nauroin pyllyni pois ja kyl sie tiiät jo mitä se tarkottaa :D Siis englanniksi.
Heheh juu! Kiitos kiitos hauskasta kommentista!
third one could be "ihan päin vittua meni"
Niinpä voisikin :D
