To be honest, I think all three countries are amazing. Slightly different from each other in some ways, but more things in common than differences. I feel very much at home in both Norway and Denmark (I’m 🇸🇪). I really do love living in Sweden but I would have absolutely no problems living in any of the other two. And I believe travelers would enjoy themselves in any Scandinavian country, especially going to any of the big cities, where it’s always easier to blend in.

Any Scandinavian country would be lucky to have you Tysheen!
Tysheen don't worry if you don't know something at least you are open to learning. That is what I like about you, you are always open and ready to learn something new without judgement and everybody should be more like you.
The biggest frustration nowdays in Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark) is that the younger generation prefer to speak English to fellow Scandinavians. In reality we speak the same language. It's just as stupid if an American traveled to Australia, and they communicated in French.. Skandinavians: open your ears! You can do better!!!
I'm norwegian; my sister lives in Denmark and had a daugther; we have to speak english to eachother and it annoys the hell out of me. But - even as a very young kid she spoke english perfectly, so it worked out for us.
It is true, we are like brothers and sisters in Scandinavia. and Finland is like a cousin :) Iceland is like the youngest sister that took care of our history.
Norway may be expensive, but we also have high salaries here, and many of our swedish brother and sisters come here to work. I love your channel Tysheen, love from Norway
Pretty simple actually Nordic countries: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and the Faroe islands Scandinavia: Denmark, Norway and Sweden The Scandinavian peninsula: Norway, Sweden and Finland
I'm Danish/Greenlandic and i love the other nordic countries. They're all the best. I would never have them compete against each other. Thats not any good for anyone.
I swear to God 😂, that rotten herring isn’t common throughout Sweden, not everybody eats that… I’ve managed to be alive for 47 years in Sweden and I have never eaten it, never even been near it, nor will I… I know some people like it (it’s a dish from the Northern part) but many actually throw up just by the smell from opening the can. It’s just puzzling to me anyone would eat something that makes you sick 🤷♀️. If it doesn’t smell or look good, I won’t eat it.
the Swedish meatballs is good but saying they are the best means you have never tried Danish meatballs also called "frikadeller". ;) they are essentially just bigger and better than the Swedish meatballs.
Its so sad, every time someone tells about Scandinavia or The Nordic countries, they always forgets the Sami people. Try to listen to Daniels Yoik with Jon Henrik Fjelgren and read about the Sami people.
For Scandinavia not so much since the Sami people occupy parts of Finland (besides Norway and Sweden and maybe Russia) also (Finland, which isn't part of Scandinavia). And Finns have more in common with the traditional Scandinavian culture than Samis have too. And "Scandinavian culture and society" is something distinct from the Sami culture. I mean you have "Sametinget", a different language and some different culture markers. Also the people are genetically from a different descendant. I mean, there is a reason why the Sami people have kind of government of their own ("Sametinget") spanning multiple countries. And besides "Samer" is a folk group, just like Romes, Yews etc, not really a country. Maybe a bit like the Kurds, which don't have their own country (but also a lot less influence over politics in comparison)
@@Magnus_Loov I don't quite understand your comment. The Sami live in what is called Sapmi, a huge region that stretches from Norway to Sweden, Finland and Iond in Russia. The Sami have lived for millennia, and regardless of whether they are genetically related to other Scandinavians (and Finns), they are there and are a fairly important group. They are treated badly, but there is progress and yes they have their Sami Parliament, their own flag and their language has been recognised. Even the UN has recognized them as an original group of people
@@evamayakornstad2576 Yes, the Sami is a group. But Scandinavia isn't about a goup of people. It is a region of countries. Two different things. There are other minorities that live within Scandinavia that also could have been mentioned. Being a minority doesn't qualify to be called "Scandinavian" (They also partly live in Russia in addition to that).
0:45 The word originates in the region of Scandia that's currently in southern Sweden but that historically was a part of Denmark. Denmark as a kingdom grew out of the control over the straights between what's today Sweden and the Jutland peninsula in Denmark, hence why the capital of Denmark is right next to Sweden (it used to be roughly in the middle of Denmark) Scandinavia ended up being the term that southerners used foe the lands north of continental Europe, that is the Scandinavian peninsula that includes Norway, Sweden and the northern tip of Finland today (we now use Fennoscandia when referring to those three nations without Denmark), but since what is today Scania in mainland Sweden was literally mainland Denmark back then and also controlled Norway and/or Sweden for huge parts of our history while Finland ended up being a battleground between Sweden and various incarnations of Russia and not really that important on its own in the minds of continental (and it was far away anyway) the term ended up being stuck for the three Scandinavian kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden. As opposed to the term Nordic that technically was a cultural term for the nordic cultures that descended from the north Germanic peoples, sonur included Iceland, the Faeroe islands and any other areas populated by nordic peoples. However politically it has evolved into a term that includes Finland but not former nordic areas like the island of Man, Shetland, the Orkeney islands etc... Basically a Scandinavia + collective term.
Copenhagen didn't evolve into a larger town and eventually a capitol city, until the late Middle Ages/early Renaissance. The principal towns in the Oresund region back then, were Roskilde (Denmark) and Kalmar (Sweden).
There are some conflicting sources for it. Many of the first sources for Scandinavia seemed to be refering to the peninsula that was Norway and Sweden. Others were refering to a vague "island" where may Skåne (Scania) was at the center of it. The orginal word was from two Proto german words that just meant "dangerous Island". Or danger/Damage Island/land next to water. An Island "up north" with unknown size and just like Great Britain was to the southern Europeans more than 2000 years ago!
It's a video made by Danes, so of course it's biased. Like he talks about football (soccer to you) he is, for some strange reason, just mentioning the ranking of the _men's_ teams. Perhaps because Sweden is 3rd in the ranking in the world, Norway is 13th, and Denmark 17th... And Pippi Longstocking hasn't been banned in Sweden! BS...They just edited them so it wouldn't say that her white pirate dad was "Negro King" anymore. Astrid Lindgren, who wrote the books in the 40s, said herself in the 70s that if she had written the books then she wouldn't have written that. Saying that IKEA meatballs are Sweden's national dish... Thinking that IKEA's meatballs is how meatballs taste in Sweden. It's like if someone would say that US national dish is hamburgers... and you would be like "Yeah, ok..." and then they add "from McDonalds"... Sure, they're sort of good, like ediable, it's not like they're something wrong with them, but it's the fast food version, made in a factory, not like the real thing, made at home or in a restaurant. The Royal houses is a mix of everything, really Scandinavian, French, German, British etc. Like The Danish Queen's mother was Swedish (The Danish Queen and The Swedish King are first cousins), and her kids are half French. The Norwegian king also had a Swedish mother. The Swedish king's great grandma was Victoria of England and the Swedish Queen is half German, half Brazilian, they have ancestry from all over, really. So you should probably take this video with a big grain of salt.
I felt it was very biased in the beginning. It was like he couldnt give a compliment without adding a but.. I think all in all the bias wasn’t that bad towards the end. I don’t get why he added Finland into the mix though.
There are two Scandinavia. The peninsula, which is Sweden, Norway, and a bit of Finland. Then there are the Scandinavian countries, which are Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. Norway has the strongest economy, Sweden the worst of the three. Hence why the cost difference. Denmark has tonnes of beaches. Tonnes! And while Norway may have one of the longest coast lines in the world, both the coast of Norway and Sweden are very Rocky, while 95% of Danish beaches are sandy beaches. Many of them being world class.
Noooo. Don’t spread the lie that Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands are Scandinavian. The guy needs to know the difference between Nordic and Scandinavian 😔
Scandinavia is Denmark, Sweden and Norway The Nordic countries are Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, Faroe Islands, Åland and Greenland. Greenland because they belong to Denmark. Fun fact: Denmark has a land border to Canada :)
belongs ??? no, they are a part of us. saying native people countrys belong to us, is deffently a no go in 2022 😉 we do share goverment but they also have selvstyre for example.. and no matter is we could sell it to donald trump by law, another thing is reality
Hi Tysheen i have friends as work in Denmark they pay 50% more money then sweden.then my friend has apartment in sweden and buy the food in sweden omg they make money...but to the true money is not everything ha ha ha ha ha 👍🏼❤️ its take only 20 minuts to travel from sweden to Denmark 🇸🇪🇩🇰👍🏻
It's a running joke in Denmark is the capital of IKEA when we try to teach Americans about our geography. It's a general trend that people of huge countries seem to not focus so much on geography and other languages... It's simply not that necessary when you can live your entire life inside the same country speaking your mother tongue. In a small country like Denmark it's simply a necessity to be able to communicate with your neighbours.
You must watch (Traveling young) on youtube. It is a family that moved from the USA to Denmark with their daughter and has lived here for a few years. They talk about their life in Denmark and about taxes and health.
Strictly speaking, Scandinavia is only Norway, Sweden and Denmark (and their territories). Iceland and Finland are included in the Nordic countries however. The video is of course biased in favour of Denmark, since Gus is Danish. He didn't make a lot of mistakes, although he did focus more on Denmark and sort of gloss over the other two countries a bit.
That's recentism though (constantly repeated in forums like this). Finland was considered part of Scandinvavia proper until taken from Sweden by Russia in 1809. That was for geographical as well as cultural reasons, both of which holds pretty well even today (except maybe the language, which has shrunk from some 50% fluent Swedish to a little more than 5% in recent years).
@@martinandersen1849 Neither is Denmark, as you pointed out yourself, but still called Scandinavia. This is because this focus on a "Scandinavian peninsula" is pretty recent as well. In the 1700s and 1800s we talked about the mountain range Skanderna, which reaches well into Finland (which was then a land of Sweden, just like (say) Norrland or Götaland still is).
@@martinandersen1849 Forgot to say that the reason Denmark was thought of as Scandinavian (by us Swedes) was that it once owned Skåne, a land with the same etymological roots as the word Scandinavia. Also its close ties to Norway of course (and Sweden, although often more reluctantly).
Used to lay oil pipes in Norway. Beautifull country and great pay. Then I go back to Denmark and spend it all^^ Danes also have the best humor. We had a comedian. Jonathan Spang, that trolled the entire nation of Sweden, hahaha
12:05 I very much object to him defining Denmark að the most liberal. It depends on *what* you include or exclude in your liberal vs conservative definitions. What freedoms you care about. Each of Norway, Sweden and Denmark are ahead in some and behind in others. Living in Norway I'd probably give the overall crown to Sweden although it's a tight race, and Sweden has regressed a lot in recent years.
when it comes to freedom, I think Denmark is the most liberal. Just take Christiania for example. But at the same time, they are super conservative when it comes to immigration. Sweden is the opposite.
@@mikaeldk5700 Yes, Sweden has problems due to immigration. Won't argue with you there. It's not even an opinion anymore, it's a fact. My point was that we in Scandinavia are liberal in different ways. Du förstår vad jag menar va? Danskjävel. ;)
@@sheep89, funny you menion immigration. Even according to Sweden, who used to say they could house EVERYONE who wish to come, recently admitted that they have HUGH ghetto issues due to a VERY liberal immigration policy. Look at Malmô for instance. So maybe a policy, where you do not take bigger bites than you can chew would be a better approach for all, even for the immigrants?
@@Asa...S, Fredrik Reinfeldt had this comment in 2014; “What does the word “enough” mean? Sweden is full? The Nordic region is full? Are we too many people? We are 25 million people living in the North. I often fly over the Swedish countryside and I would advise others to do. There are endless fields and forests. There’s more space than you might imagine. Those who claim that the country is full, they should demonstrate where it is full.” Further more was there also a female swedish minister who said something like "Let them all come, we got plenty of space in Folkhemmet", with reference to all the "empty" space Reinfeldt also talked about. I can not find her name right now, but I will find it for you.

You are never to old to learn tysheen. Scandinavia is a region in northern Europe that consists of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Faroe Islands and also Iceland that I've been too, they all have a good standard of living with good pensions and a good quality of life and education, the only few downsides to living in scandanavia .... Is the long and cold dark winters, cost of living and the reserved nature of the people...just to add Scotland which is just of the North Sea coast share some heritage has a very similar climate and landscape to scandanavia...It all depends on your perspectives, but overall as a traveller and someone who studies history I rate the scandanavian countries highly.
@@MKitchen75 I meant to say its located in the region of scandanavia, but I understand it has a unique and separate language to the rest of scandanavia.
Finland, faroe islands and iceland are not scandinavian. Scandinavia is only 3 countries Norway, Denmark and Sweden. You listed the Nordic countries mr information.
Scandinavia is 3 countries only. Norway-Sweden and Denmark. Many people mistake that with:The nordic countries on the other hand is: The Nordic countries (also known as the Nordics or Norden; lit. 'the North')[2] are a geographical and cultural region in Northern Europe and the North Atlantic. It includes the sovereign states of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway[b] and Sweden; the autonomous territories of the Faroe Islands and Greenland; and the autonomous region of Åland.[4] . From wikipedia.
Sweden have one more area where they beat rest of Scandinavia. They have most gun kills per capita in 2022, actually not just for Scandinavia but the entire Europe (kreep Ukraine out of the calculation). Sweden reached 47 gun kills in 2022 the other day, The entire 2021 had only 46 gun kills in Sweden in total.
Yeah, he's like "English is a breeze for Danes" and then speaks with such a thick Danish accent that people need subtitles to even understand what he says...
Thanks for this reaction! But I am sorry for all my Scandinavian brothers and sisters, but Finland is the "Happiest" country in the world now for the 5th time in a row😁😁😍😍🙄🙄. But we love everybody and I want to thank you all for your support to Sweden and Finland to join the NATO.
Every Swedish grandma have their own recipe and IKEA meatballs have nothing on them! Not that IKEA meatballs ain't good, I can gobble up a couple of pounds per serving, but nothing beats my moms moose balls! ;-)
6:45 Eh, I'd say that it's the other way around. But it depends on the product and just price fluctuations over time. Some things are just way cheaper in Denmark then in Sweden, at least sometimes. Others things are way cheaper in Sweden. Norwegians will go to both countries to shop cheap products.
I mean.... if you didn't find this already on google, there is a smal lare in Sweden called Scania. Which I assume has some kind of historical fact behind the Scandinavia choise of naming, but that might just be because I am Scanian and we are the best down south of Sweden! Wohoo go Scania! But yeah, I don't really think we are separate countries in any other definition than on the map. We are just scandinavians. :) One big happy family, and we gladly include Iceland and Finland. e.t.c.
You ment you saw Finland part of Sweden? You probs saw an old map from somewhere between 1100-1800 when Sweden ruled Finns, Finland was also part of Russia for 100 years after that but we got independence in 1917
Well.. I would say the other way around. Part of Sweden (todays Finland were several old provinces of Sweden) and then ruled by Russia without being a proper part of Russia... I mean, every time the Russuans tried to make Finland a part of Russia, the Finns told them off, and ultimately took their own independance.
Living in Sweden, just a few kilometers from the southern Norwegian border, I'd say that in the Western parts of Sweden, the people are more like the Norwegian people than the Swedish people described in this video. But I do prefer Meatballs to Fårikål, that I do 😂
Meat and cake does not belong together. I love you Norway, but our danish frikadeller wins. You guys eat weird stuff - you can't be trusted with meatballs.
Thank you for the nice words from the danish guy. But i feel Norway didn't have any representation in this video. Only danish, swedish and finnish people
@@Plummky Didnt care to read your entire book. There is only one sport that counts. Come visit we got cheap beer for you, just bring the kanelboller and you can tell me all about all the wunderfull medals Sweden have won. Without the Gypsy football is dead in Sweden. BTW is Sweden going to the world cup 22? LOL.
denmark is hard to move to if you are not from eu, but it is only sepperated by a bridge from sweden. and like they say it makes sense to live in sweden and make money in denmark. you would probetly have 10-20% more money.. ofshore work is also tax free, but im not sure it can be used when applying for citizenship. because you are not working in a country and paying tax (maby special rules for that trade) check out eu citizenship, most easy way into all of those country´s for most people. getting a citizenship in the country´s can take more then 10 years (specially in denmark)
The time you need to wait is higher if you come from a EU country (9 years), other immigrants only need to wait 8 years. Last group are mainly muslims.
One interesting thing of note imo atleast is that Norwegians celebrate their constitutional day much more than Sweden and Denmark. This is because while sweden ande denmark have (basically) always been independent, Norway has been a part of both Denmark and Sweden for a very long time. Then after ww2 Norwegians realised how much they valued independence and thats why Indipendence day is much larger in Norway than in the other 2 countries. It has been much harder to achieve.
The best Scandinavian country is Sweden because I come from Denmark they do everything here to take out right from us away and more and more people live on the street the greed from the government is high
Taxes are higher in Sweden than Norway. And Norway have higher wages. But it's cheaper in Sweden. So.. we just go to Sweden to buy shit. Lol Life is better in Norway
14:56 I call bs on that one. The Danes are the most racist and xenophobic of the three... Sweden used to be the least but they're basically on par with us in Norway now and heading down because of issues with their immigrant population (During the height of the immigration crisis in Europe a *single* Swedish town accepted more refugees then all of the US *and* Canada *combined*) Such a big influx of refugees in such a low amount of time as a percentage of the total population was hard ro integrate, and that lead to issues making them more sceptical towards immigration. But honestly they've done their part, unlike the rest of us...
We are not more racist in denmark. We are just not afraid to talk about, if we think it is a good idea to have mass immigration to our nation or not. That is not a racist thing. Mass immigration can cause problems, and it is good to discuss it. I dont see many neo nazis in denmark, but in sweden there are often a lot of them walking the streets for instance.
Sweden has high immigration. It can be seen as liberal. But Sweden also has the strictest drug laws. Which definitely cannot be seen as liberal. Denmark is the exact opposite. Almost no immigration, but very liberal on drugs and alcohol. There are many more examples where we are the exact opposite of each other. We are liberal in different ways.
@@martinandersen1849 I came from japan, and it just feels unsanitary without it. I'm sure there are bidets in other nordic countries in private homes, but I meant also in public toilets. I lived in swede for some time, and it was tough, and had to buy a portable one which wasn't very convenient. After moving to finland, it was much better.
Scandinavia is ALWAYS only Denmark, Norway and Sweden -Iceland, Finland, Faroe islands, Åland and Greenland are part of the Nordic countries together with the 3 Scandinavian -these young guys have seen too much American media if they don't know what Scandinavia is and they forgot Åland when mentioning all the Nordics -Scandinavia is a language group that's why you can't just include Finland, it's not that we don't like Finland-we don't understand what they say that is it
Not gonna lie, every time I see Stockholm’s slogan of being “the capital of Scandinavia” I cringe so hard, feel humiliated and want to beg our neighbours if forgiveness. Whyyyyyyy did they piiiiick thaaaaaaaaat slogaaaan. Stooooooooooooooooop! I’m gonna cry 😭
@@thehoogard To my great grief, it is the slogan of Stockholm. All cities have a slogan that the state politicians chooses. That is theirs. I mean, my city’s slogan is ridicules (We are Hedemora), but at least it’s not as close as bad as Stockholm’s 😅
I’m one of these Danes living in Sweden and going to work in Denmark every day. One of the reasons are, that rent is really expensive in Copenhagen Denmark and cheaper here in Malmö Sweden.
Danes might be better at talking to strangers, but nobody understands what the Danes are mumbling about so does it really matter? Sweden is clearly the best one.
There are a few things to consider when talking about Scandinavia. 1, the Scandinavian peninsula where Norway and Sweden are located. 2, Scania, an old name for a region of Sweden currently named Skåne. 3, although not strictly Scandinavian but for historical reasons Denmark is sometimes counted towards Scandinavian countries.
Um, no, Denmark is part of Scandinavia. Not just for the "sake of tradition". It always has been, always will be. You're Swedish, you should know this. The video is also wrong for including Finland and Iceland in any capacity. Scandinavia is just Denmark, Sweden and Norway. Three countries. If you include Finland and Iceland, you have the Nordics.
Danmark is ranked as the best country in Scandinavia bcs we have the best healthcare in the world, we are the most sustaiable, we recycle EVERYTHING, we probably have the best education system in the world, we are the most eco friendly, and we are the second happiest in the world. Almost all of our electricity comes from wind mills, and we also burn the trash to make energy. We also has the second best quality of life in the world, only behind Switzerland.
17:14 We *like* to think that we'd support each other from outsiders, but history shows that we don't usually do so, because we're all so much weaker then the big countries that surround us and may invade so we don't dare risk the existence of our own nations for each other... But maybe we'll dare it now as a part of NATO...
Actually I would say no ... Sweden despite being neutral during WW2 did infact help Finland with troops and equipment ... they just sort of hide it, From Norway there where volunteers coming to help out, one of the more famous ones are Max Manus who fought against the Russia, but returned to Norway when Norway was attacked by Germany. I don't know about Denmark but I would think there was volunteers from there too probably.
@@arcticblue248 "Neutral" Sweden transported thousands of German troops by train to Norway and rejected Danish refugees until late in the war. Swedish steel also went from Sweden to Germany - so it is sort of mixed story. Ask youself why the Danes sent their gold via occupied Norway to England (and the US) instead of "free" Sweden?
@@zoolook666 I know my history, I am from Norway, and northen norway that was burned down during the war, my father was one of the kids that after the war was sent to Sweden for a while, now my father was lucky and ended up at a nice family, many other where not that lucky and was abused. There is also a reason why our King Olav (crown prince during the war) never really forgave how they refused him and his father King Haakon refuge in Sweden...
No it's not BS in that regard. It means different things in different languages and it means different things if we talk about history, language, ethniticity or geography.
@@SteamboatW check your facts again and look the map scandinavian peninsula is norway sweden and denmark.. every nordic country person can verify this.. period.. there is no ethnicity or history involved of it.. its geography

Denmark as a kingdom grew out of the control over the straights between what's today Sweden and the Jutland peninsula in Denmark, hence why the capital of Denmark is right next to Sweden (it used to be roughly in the middle of Denmark)
Scandinavia ended up being the term that southerners used foe the lands north of continental Europe, that is the Scandinavian peninsula that includes Norway, Sweden and the northern tip of Finland today (we now use Fennoscandia when referring to those three nations without Denmark), but since what is today Scania in mainland Sweden was literally mainland Denmark back then and also controlled Norway and/or Sweden for huge parts of our history while Finland ended up being a battleground between Sweden and various incarnations of Russia and not really that important on its own in the minds of continental (and it was far away anyway) the term ended up being stuck for the three Scandinavian kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
As opposed to the term Nordic that technically was a cultural term for the nordic cultures that descended from the north Germanic peoples, sonur included Iceland, the Faeroe islands and any other areas populated by nordic peoples.
However politically it has evolved into a term that includes Finland but not former nordic areas like the island of Man, Shetland, the Orkeney islands etc...
Basically a Scandinavia + collective term.
Copenhagen didn't evolve into a larger town and eventually a capitol city, until the late Middle Ages/early Renaissance. The principal towns in the Oresund region back then, were Roskilde (Denmark) and Kalmar (Sweden).
There are some conflicting sources for it. Many of the first sources for Scandinavia seemed to be refering to the peninsula that was Norway and Sweden.
Others were refering to a vague "island" where may Skåne (Scania) was at the center of it.
The orginal word was from two Proto german words that just meant "dangerous Island". Or danger/Damage Island/land next to water.
An Island "up north" with unknown size and just like Great Britain was to the southern Europeans more than 2000 years ago!
Wow. Thank you so much for this.
Looking fabulous! Love the new hairdo :) Thanks for another awesome video!
It's a video made by Danes, so of course it's biased.
Like he talks about football (soccer to you) he is, for some strange reason, just mentioning the ranking of the _men's_ teams. Perhaps because Sweden is 3rd in the ranking in the world, Norway is 13th, and Denmark 17th...
And Pippi Longstocking hasn't been banned in Sweden! BS...They just edited them so it wouldn't say that her white pirate dad was "Negro King" anymore. Astrid Lindgren, who wrote the books in the 40s, said herself in the 70s that if she had written the books then she wouldn't have written that.
Saying that IKEA meatballs are Sweden's national dish... Thinking that IKEA's meatballs is how meatballs taste in Sweden.
It's like if someone would say that US national dish is hamburgers... and you would be like "Yeah, ok..." and then they add "from McDonalds"...
Sure, they're sort of good, like ediable, it's not like they're something wrong with them, but it's the fast food version, made in a factory, not like the real thing, made at home or in a restaurant.
The Royal houses is a mix of everything, really Scandinavian, French, German, British etc. Like The Danish Queen's mother was Swedish (The Danish Queen and The Swedish King are first cousins), and her kids are half French. The Norwegian king also had a Swedish mother. The Swedish king's great grandma was Victoria of England and the Swedish Queen is half German, half Brazilian, they have ancestry from all over, really.
So you should probably take this video with a big grain of salt.
he dident makee less mistakes about his own country 😂

För i helvete kära landsman. Du behöver inte ta det så seriöst.
I felt it was very biased in the beginning. It was like he couldnt give a compliment without adding a but.. I think all in all the bias wasn’t that bad towards the end. I don’t get why he added Finland into the mix though.
There are two Scandinavia. The peninsula, which is Sweden, Norway, and a bit of Finland.
Then there are the Scandinavian countries, which are Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
Norway has the strongest economy, Sweden the worst of the three. Hence why the cost difference.
Denmark has tonnes of beaches. Tonnes! And while Norway may have one of the longest coast lines in the world, both the coast of Norway and Sweden are very Rocky, while 95% of Danish beaches are sandy beaches. Many of them being world class.
Noooo. Don’t spread the lie that Finland, Iceland and the Faroe Islands are Scandinavian. The guy needs to know the difference between Nordic and Scandinavian 😔
Get over here, Tysheen, and take your family with you. I promise that you would find a fan who would welcome you here!

Don't laugh at me. 😆
It's a running joke in Denmark is the capital of IKEA when we try to teach Americans about our geography.
It's a general trend that people of huge countries seem to not focus so much on geography and other languages... It's simply not that necessary when you can live your entire life inside the same country speaking your mother tongue.
In a small country like Denmark it's simply a necessity to be able to communicate with your neighbours.
You must watch (Traveling young) on youtube. It is a family that moved from the USA to Denmark with their daughter and has lived here for a few years. They talk about their life in Denmark and about taxes and health.
Strictly speaking, Scandinavia is only Norway, Sweden and Denmark (and their territories). Iceland and Finland are included in the Nordic countries however.
The video is of course biased in favour of Denmark, since Gus is Danish. He didn't make a lot of mistakes, although he did focus more on Denmark and sort of gloss over the other two countries a bit.
That's recentism though (constantly repeated in forums like this). Finland was considered part of Scandinvavia proper until taken from Sweden by Russia in 1809. That was for geographical as well as cultural reasons, both of which holds pretty well even today (except maybe the language, which has shrunk from some 50% fluent Swedish to a little more than 5% in recent years).
@@herrbonk3635 Finland is NOT on the Scandinavian peninsula. I am not sure how Denmark managed to be ....
@@martinandersen1849 Neither is Denmark, as you pointed out yourself, but still called Scandinavia. This is because this focus on a "Scandinavian peninsula" is pretty recent as well. In the 1700s and 1800s we talked about the mountain range Skanderna, which reaches well into Finland (which was then a land of Sweden, just like (say) Norrland or Götaland still is).
@@martinandersen1849 Forgot to say that the reason Denmark was thought of as Scandinavian (by us Swedes) was that it once owned Skåne, a land with the same etymological roots as the word Scandinavia. Also its close ties to Norway of course (and Sweden, although often more reluctantly).

I very much object to him defining Denmark að the most liberal.
It depends on *what* you include or exclude in your liberal vs conservative definitions.
What freedoms you care about.
Each of Norway, Sweden and Denmark are ahead in some and behind in others.
Living in Norway I'd probably give the overall crown to Sweden although it's a tight race, and Sweden has regressed a lot in recent years.
when it comes to freedom, I think Denmark is the most liberal. Just take Christiania for example. But at the same time, they are super conservative when it comes to immigration. Sweden is the opposite.
@@mikaeldk5700 Yes, Sweden has problems due to immigration. Won't argue with you there. It's not even an opinion anymore, it's a fact.
My point was that we in Scandinavia are liberal in different ways.

@@martinandersen1849 "Sweden, who used to say they could house EVERYONE who wish to come" When was that? In the 1960s..?
@@Asa...S, Fredrik Reinfeldt had this comment in 2014; “What does the word “enough” mean? Sweden is full? The Nordic region is full? Are we too many people? We are 25 million people living in the North. I often fly over the Swedish countryside and I would advise others to do. There are endless fields and forests. There’s more space than you might imagine. Those who claim that the country is full, they should demonstrate where it is full.”
Further more was there also a female swedish minister who said something like "Let them all come, we got plenty of space in Folkhemmet", with reference to all the "empty" space Reinfeldt also talked about. I can not find her name right now, but I will find it for you.

You are never to old to learn tysheen. Scandinavia is a region in northern Europe that consists of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Faroe Islands and also Iceland that I've been too, they all have a good standard of living with good pensions and a good quality of life and education, the only few downsides to living in scandanavia .... Is the long and cold dark winters, cost of living and the reserved nature of the people...just to add Scotland which is just of the North Sea coast share some heritage has a very similar climate and landscape to scandanavia...It all depends on your perspectives, but overall as a traveller and someone who studies history I rate the scandanavian countries highly.
Finland is not a scandinavian country.. it is nordic coutry but not part of scandinavia..
@@MKitchen75 I meant to say its located in the region of scandanavia, but I understand it has a unique and separate language to the rest of scandanavia.

Finland, faroe islands and iceland are not scandinavian. Scandinavia is only 3 countries Norway, Denmark and Sweden. You listed the Nordic countries mr information.
@@ristusnotta1653 exactly
Danes spontaneous! Me, an Icelander, saying "Gustav, let's talk about that". Gustav the sweet Dane "Ok, I check my calendar".
Scandinavia is 3 countries only. Norway-Sweden and Denmark. Many people mistake that with:The nordic countries on the other hand is: The Nordic countries (also known as the Nordics or Norden; lit. 'the North')[2] are a geographical and cultural region in Northern Europe and the North Atlantic. It includes the sovereign states of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway[b] and Sweden; the autonomous territories of the Faroe Islands and Greenland; and the autonomous region of Åland.[4] . From wikipedia.
Sweden have one more area where they beat rest of Scandinavia. They have most gun kills per capita in 2022, actually not just for Scandinavia but the entire Europe (kreep Ukraine out of the calculation). Sweden reached 47 gun kills in 2022 the other day, The entire 2021 had only 46 gun kills in Sweden in total.

Eh, I'd say that it's the other way around.
But it depends on the product and just price fluctuations over time.
Some things are just way cheaper in Denmark then in Sweden, at least sometimes.
Others things are way cheaper in Sweden.
Norwegians will go to both countries to shop cheap products.
Tysheen maybe confused Scandinavia with Scania, which is the southern part of Sweden.
I mean.... if you didn't find this already on google, there is a smal lare in Sweden called Scania. Which I assume has some kind of historical fact behind the Scandinavia choise of naming, but that might just be because I am Scanian and we are the best down south of Sweden! Wohoo go Scania!
But yeah, I don't really think we are separate countries in any other definition than on the map. We are just scandinavians. :) One big happy family, and we gladly include Iceland and Finland. e.t.c.
You ment you saw Finland part of Sweden? You probs saw an old map from somewhere between 1100-1800 when Sweden ruled Finns, Finland was also part of Russia for 100 years after that but we got independence in 1917
Well.. I would say the other way around. Part of Sweden (todays Finland were several old provinces of Sweden) and then ruled by Russia without being a proper part of Russia... I mean, every time the Russuans tried to make Finland a part of Russia, the Finns told them off, and ultimately took their own independance.

denmark is hard to move to if you are not from eu, but it is only sepperated by a bridge from sweden.
and like they say it makes sense to live in sweden and make money in denmark.
you would probetly have 10-20% more money..
ofshore work is also tax free, but im not sure it can be used when applying for citizenship.
because you are not working in a country and paying tax (maby special rules for that trade)
check out eu citizenship, most easy way into all of those country´s for most people.
getting a citizenship in the country´s can take more then 10 years (specially in denmark)
The time you need to wait is higher if you come from a EU country (9 years), other immigrants only need to wait 8 years. Last group are mainly muslims.
Scandinavia is da shyte,js. 🇸🇪 🇳🇴 🇩🇰...................,..........................................................🇫🇮....😋
One interesting thing of note imo atleast is that Norwegians celebrate their constitutional day much more than Sweden and Denmark. This is because while sweden ande denmark have (basically) always been independent, Norway has been a part of both Denmark and Sweden for a very long time. Then after ww2 Norwegians realised how much they valued independence and thats why Indipendence day is much larger in Norway than in the other 2 countries. It has been much harder to achieve.
The best Scandinavian country is Sweden because I come from Denmark they do everything here to take out right from us away and more and more people live on the street the greed from the government is high
Taxes are higher in Sweden than Norway. And Norway have higher wages. But it's cheaper in Sweden.
So.. we just go to Sweden to buy shit. Lol

I call bs on that one.
The Danes are the most racist and xenophobic of the three...
Sweden used to be the least but they're basically on par with us in Norway now and heading down because of issues with their immigrant population
(During the height of the immigration crisis in Europe a *single* Swedish town accepted more refugees then all of the US *and* Canada *combined*)
Such a big influx of refugees in such a low amount of time as a percentage of the total population was hard ro integrate, and that lead to issues making them more sceptical towards immigration.
But honestly they've done their part, unlike the rest of us...
I agree with you on this.. this SO biased also claimed that finland is part of scandinavia.. what a load of c..p
We are not more racist in denmark. We are just not afraid to talk about, if we think it is a good idea to have mass immigration to our nation or not. That is not a racist thing. Mass immigration can cause problems, and it is good to discuss it. I dont see many neo nazis in denmark, but in sweden there are often a lot of them walking the streets for instance.
we are not racists... we just dont want our country destroyed
Ahahaha... Just... wrong wrong wrong.... Hooray for all the gang violence out of control in Sweden 🤗
Sweden has high immigration. It can be seen as liberal. But Sweden also has the strictest drug laws. Which definitely cannot be seen as liberal.
Denmark is the exact opposite. Almost no immigration, but very liberal on drugs and alcohol.
There are many more examples where we are the exact opposite of each other.
We are liberal in different ways.
