    Absolutely love this video!! Loved pronouncing along to this video. I started learning Finnish because of my love of the Dallas Stars hockey and their entire fleet of amazing suomi players! Their run for the 2020 Stanley Cup was phenomenal. I believe the incredible suomi sisu permeated througout the entire team! Would love to see another hockey related video. The Dallas Stars has their own Suomi Mafia including : Miro heiskanen, Esa Lindell, Roope Hintz, ja Joel Kiviranta. Julius Honka should be returning for the next season as well! Also, I did not realize that Pekka Rinne was Finnish! Thank you for this video!

    Aleksander Barkov's father Alexander Barkov is a former Soviet national team player. He moved to Tampere in 90's to play for Tappara and stayed in Finland after his career was over. He is now coaching in China. Aleksander was born and raised in Tampere.

    • @izzardclips9350
      @izzardclips9350 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not sure if he ever played for The Soviet Union, but if I had to guess I would say no. I definitely do remember Barkov Sr. played for Russia in the WC in the nineties. And Aleksander's mother played basketball in the Soviet Union national team in the 1980 Olympics - I think I read that somewhere - so he has lots of "sporty" genes from both sides.

    Tuukka Rask is not so known from the World Cup, he has become famous in NHL, Boston Bruins.
    Joki is river, virta means stream. Virtanen was long the 'Smith' of Finland, now Korhonen is the most common name in Finland.
    Tikka is dart - but the older word means woodpecker, the bird. So dart is metaphorically the same :)
    Ranta is any shore, whether there's beach or not.
    Teuvo Teräväinen rhymes like those generic names for the form filling. But it's so rare, it won't do - it will automatically bring into people's mind the few families in Finland carrying the name.
    Whereas Maija Mehiläinen is a cartoon character. Again, it would be rare for people to have that family name - it means bee, because the cartoon character is a bee.
    - Finnish uses Matti & Maija Meikäläinen as the Adam Smith of the example names. That's 'Matt(hew)' & Mary Ourkind' - 1st names chosen to match the last name, like Olly/Oliver & Olivia Ourkind. Haven't met any people with Meikäläinen as their family name - but I think there are some Finns with that name. Hopefully not name as Matti or Maija by their parents :)
    xxx
    There are also some names, which with the endings of Finnish (like prepositions in English) might produce confusing situation. There was a guy as a conscript serving in the Finnish army (all healthy Finnish men have to serve that, or do a civil service corresponding that), with the last name Senjanen. When the officers make room inspection, especially their closet or cupboard is especially checked by choosing a random Private (or a bad looking cupboard). The Finnish privates (the lowest military rank) have to announce if asked: 'Sir (rank of the officer), the cupboard of Private Smith!'
    Now Private Senjanen would say this in Finnish: 'Herra (upseerin arvo), alokas Senjasen kaappi'. It just happens that 'sen ja sen' (compare Senjasen) means 'of this and this (lit. of it/that and it/that)' - which is the example sentence the drill sergeants use to teach the privates how to make the announcement.
    xxx
    Also, there was this high ranking civil servant working for some minister, and he was send to one Finnish county to make some inspection. His family name is Hillu, which sounds very close to a mild curse word hitto, or the khrm, feminine private parts word pillu, another one for it is vittu, the strongest curse word for many Finns. Hillu itself is a from of the verb hillua, to hang around, to idle, to make ruccus - aka some sort of obscure, noise, alarming behaviour many juvenile hot shots have tendency to commit to. Keep these 3 naughty words in mind, and his name :)
    So this civil servant Hillu was coming to town. The local officials very a bit nervous, this visit was crucial for the funding of the local civic projects. The 'lucky' local official, who was suppose to announce him got the advise: 'Don't mess with his name, he's very touchy about it'. Well, you can imagine he was likely teased at school about his name. The advice didn't much help the local officer, made him more anxious about the task, and his nerves did play him a trick. When the visiting day came, he stepped in the mike after some introductory speeches had been made, and said: 'And now, we will have the honour to hear the minister's assistant, Mr. Hittu'.
    That mistake gathers all the possible words you can mistake the civil servant's name for. You can track each word to avoid his mind has been going through. You can hear there he has been thinking to avoid the female body part, but remembering that word wrong - to be the more vulgar one. You couldn't say the name more wrong without actually cursing - and with this mistake, all the possible curse wods you can make from the name, echo in the Finnish ears. Stuff of stand-up comedy.

      @@tarvoro I would say that the length of the /k/ depends entirely on the speaker's dialect. That particular video was recorded in Tampere, where liaisons are relatively common (e.g. /sinnem meni/ and /läh(r)ek kotiin/ instead of "sinne meni" and "lähde kotiin"), so it's not a huge stretch to assume that a foreign name like Barkov could easily take on a similar characteristics.
      However, since Finnish does very distinctly differentiate between ~rk~ and ~rkk~ (e.g. in 'merkki' and 'merkitä'), I would say that pronouncing Barkov as "Barkkov" is not correct according to standard pronunciation.

      I'm not a native Finnish speaker (I'm Spanish actually). I might be wrong, and I don't know if there's a rule for when exactly to use ä instead of a (I guess they are just different letters. There wouldn't be this sort of confusion with "when to use ä and not e, for example"). But, through the time I've been learning Finnish, I've noticed that once you get ä/ö/y in a word, then there aren't any a/o/u (except when you get words that are two joined words, in which case each "word" retains it's own spelling). Either I've helped in some way or I've made things worse than they were jajajajajaja (sorry if that's the case)

      Yeah it's basically just another letter so there's no real rule when you would use it instead of a. The only guidance I guess I could give you is to build off of what "rokorokero" mentioned. There's this thing called Vowel Harmony so if a word has a/o/u - a Finnish word won't have ä/ö/y in the same word just for ease of pronunciation. I can def do a video on vowel harmony though :D

    According to Ye Olde Wiki Tiki Tavipedia, Barkov's dad is from Russia. I don't know about his mother. So Barkov, Jr. is first generation. Possibly half Finnish on his maternal side, assuming his mother is Finnish. Anyway, that explains why Barkov doesn't appear to be a Finnish last name. It's not.
