P*rkele is one of the only words in finnish language thats a loan word from baltic languages. (Perkunas) So thats not any good example on "finnish language".
@@eleonooraee2703 What u talkin' about. Perkele is a true finnish word. Not taken from baltic. It is just a coincidence that it sounds similar.
Saatana vittu
@@-Finlandia I know what im talking about indeed, its a loan word from "perkunas", and a word thats not so much used either. Perkunas in baltic languages means "satan". The words above -"s*atana" and v*ttu" are loan words as well - from "germanic" languages. For example in swedish "satan" and "f*tta". And finnish together with estonian belongs to "finnic language group" since even the "finnish-ugric" groups are apart.

You're not wrong, I love the sibling like rivalery between our countries I'll still diss sweeden until the day I die, its my duty as a norwegian person
One thing I do not like of you in nordic countries is trying to imitate americans in everything even without knowing it. The most clearest is pretending to be happy all the time (also in video). As a finn I do not appreciate that factitious behavior at all.

I do love all Scandinavian countries, but Finland is forever in my heart❤ From Russia with love❤
Nice to hear. As a finn I love Russia ( especially the food there ;P) But I must correct that Finland can't really be categorized as scandinavian, either Nordic or fennoscandian ( which no one really uses lol) Have a great rest of the day tho!
We Russians effing love Finland.
For those who are suprised by how harsly they can joke about one another I think it is important to understand that the bond between nordic countries today is very strong, more between some countries then others, due to a long shared history, the closeness in culture, language, social norms etc etc. It is sometimes almost like the bond between siblings who love eachother but still fight and pick on one another. If you google you can for example find long lists of norweigan jokes about swedes and vice versa. It's just fun and games and the humor we can have with one another! But I understand if it can sound harsh since not all nations have the same sort of bond to another/other countries and that it can be unfamiliar to some viewers. Edit: Thanks for all the likes! ❤😊
Yeah I agree (I'm from Finland). Like the one man said in the video, Sweden is like big sibling to Finland and we compete against each other all the time. We even have track and field competition Finland vs Sweden (Sweden always wins). So we kinda have that love hate relationship together like siblings do.
Yeah we are like a family. We are siblings that "hate" each other but would do anything and everything for each other if that was required. Sweden being the oldest and most normal/bland, Denmark being that weird twin of Norway who does things their way, Norway being the rich sibling who is way to happy and we others are secretly jealous and then we have Finland who feels like a step sibling who doesn't say much but we love Finland anyways.
@@fjalls I feel like Finland is the edgy one 😂 that sibling who decided to turn emo on their 14th birthday and now only listen to metal. Not like other girls

Dr Boom Sweden helped Finland so stfu puzzy.
sure, Soviet Union attacks Finland. Swedes and Norwegians on the other side of the border - ''we're not here, don't mind us'' Nazi Germany attacks and occupies Denmark and Norway. Swedes on the other side of the border - ''we're not here, don't mind us'' British occupy Iceland. Swedes - ''well ok, this is actually fine''
Dr Boom nope. Sweden could never help. It wouldnt make a difference, just more death. Just tried to survive.
I love how they just don't hesitate to roast each other 😂😂. Shows how comfortable they are with each other
I am a Norwegian living in London and I took an English friend of mine to a Scandinavian shop to show her some stuff. At one point I picked up a snack and said 'huh, we don't have this version in Norway' and the Swedish shop keeper didn't miss a beat and said in deadpan Swedish 'That's because Norway sucks' The game is always on XD
@@ingloriouskitty I bit like us with the Welsh and Scots.
After visiting Finland, I must say that it is probably the Finnish people who differs mostly among each Nordic Nation in terms of personality characteristics. That is why I like them much: they are special, like came from another planet or at least from The Lord of the Rings as elf like creatures:)
@@emilwahlroos5570 From the same planet where we speak Finno-Ugric languages, ie. Hungary. But seriously, although it is clearly a generalization, I' have noticed some fairly specific personality traits when I was there. I'm talking about, of course, the famous introvertedness of Finnish people - which, I emphasize, is a prejudice - but seems to me actually true for some level. And this is indeed a thing which I can sympathize with, because nowadays everything is about being loud, extroverted, communicative, etc, but they are not. And I like it.
Actually finns were the basis for trolls in swedish folklore.
@@vanyadolly Wait really wtf? Coming from a curious Norwegian
@@Tranitosaur It's a theory, a part of it actually makes a certain amount of sense in that There has been more Swords found in Finland than Denmark most likely meaning Finns made alot of swords, weapons tools ect. Vikings didnt really fight Finns, they were very symbiotic with them, the only raids they did were failures and they chose to do trade as at the time Finns crafted the best swords. Blacksmiths and similiar crafts have a very Mythological and Divine position in Finnish mythology and likely was a part of how Finnish people were seen at the time along with being wizards and shamans.
@@pyromorph6540 yep, Vikings were also scared of Finns, they thought that Finnish women can cast spells and make ships sink. There were couple of battles, where only few Vikings survived alive even though Finns were outnumbered. This “troll “ thing is interesting. At least swedes used (probably still do) think that Finnish people are darn ugly and they called us mongols etc. They also measured our features (like they did to Jews in Germany) to make sense why these people look so different. This was of course later in the 19th century. So in you Scandinavian eyes we might look trolls,but at least Tolkien saw some beauty in Finns and Finnish language when he wrote the lord of the rings.
As a Swede, I always laugh while saying this. "We are a bunch of disturbed cousins who argue about everything then become best friends when we're drunk."

Culturally, but genetically, the Finns are adopted, imo
@@willrichardson519 lmfao yeah sure😂
That's a nice last name you've got there
I like your cool attitude!
thats very wholesome
As a Russian I have met Norwegians(very open and nice people to talk to) and Finns(honest and helpful) liked those very much.
And those two are the worst of the lot. ;)
Benjamin Christensen nooo, those are the coolest!
@@NathalieHoran Hehe.. Only if you are into Metal and Myseost. Let's be honest; it all comes down to the Carlsberg. ;)
Benjamin Christensen no man! You've got it all wrong. The nature! Norway has all the fjords and mountains and forests and Finland's got a thousand lakes! And so much snow, that's real winter. Also Iceland have beautiful nature, volcano landscape! The finnish language is epic and sounds so interesting. Norwegians colonized Iceland and they were the true vikings!:) the swedes always think they are the best at everything, so utterly smug, but they are losing their true swedish culture. Danmark is ok but nothing more. The most boring nordic country but I like the language a bit.
@@NathalieHoran I was being sarcastic. ;)
This was so fun to watch. I laughed out loud! 😅 Greetings from Finland!
👋 half finn here
I have to learn Finnish, Finland is the coolest :D
KZhead-->ismo Leikola - noniin (comedy for having one word to do talking.)
Good luck with that. Our language is notoriously difficult.
@@Memu_ The Hungarians: That’s cute...proceeds to laugh in Hungarian! No, but seriously Hungarian is easily in the list of top 5 hardest languages, if not it certainly deserves to be.
@@cocotaveras8975 So is finnish
Come learn Estonian ;) Similar, brother language yet simpler to learn ;) Aww come on, Finland gets so much credit and cool stuff, and we're like that younger brother! xD
As a Dane, I thoroughly enjoyed the Swedish guy's impression of our language 😂 It was kinda spot on!
I was born Danish then my parents moved to California.I still speak some in case anyone ever threatens me with a gun or knife.They'd probably drop the weapon and run away pissing themselves.
@Karen Hahaha thanks-nothing to it.It's the only use for Dansk here asides from talking to my parents.
E
Finnish to Sweden " Your ancestors hunted my ancestors" Sweden to Finnish " Everybody needs a hobby, right?"
Actually, in viking sagas they mention Finland like ”land full of crazy f**king witches, do not go there.” So yeah, vikings were afraid of finns.
@@teronevala2064 ehy. in Saxon sagas welsh tribes are described with those words :P
Well the boring truth is that actually, we were too poor to be robbed, so they settled on trading fur and such with us, and also taking advantage of our networks along the rivers southeast.
@Jan Eriksson yeah. i will send u a horse's head!!!!! :P
@Jan Eriksson no, mister.it's an old "heathen wicca saxon curse" (probably imported in sicily with the arrive of normans and their saxon squires :P)
This reminds me of that joke that Chinese, Japanese, Koreans hate each other. I know Swedes are really salty about Norway's oil reserves.
Eh...not hate, more like annoying neighbour of eachother. Add vietnam, myanmar,phillipines and laos to the mix, you got bunch of mean girls againts the south east asian😂😂
Dont get me started LOL! It was a mistake to let Norway go (they left the union our countries shared between *1814-1905* ) Would have done miracles for the Swedish economy!
It is actually little bit different
@@GoldenOrder Because the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans kind of do hate eachother.
@@AttilaKattila we really do
I like how honest they are. Like they don’t care about being politically correct and nobody seems to get super offended, which is so uncommon nowadays.
The Icelandic girl has such a lot of wild beauty
Yeah, hit me up with that number if you get it 😅
All of them are very attractive
@@drened8502 Right! I know some of them who originate from Icelandic Airlines and they are super cute AND friendly! Brgds from Luxembourg (a Benelux country with insolent French and German neighbours).
uff i tought i was the only one going to mention it, that rasta girl is so naturaly beautiful and her english accent just kills me :P
the Danish woman with the grayish blue top is so pretty.
"it sounds like they just woke up and they're lost" that guy is so funny!
Dang it, now I want to join them in chanting and drinking at the end! That's was the best part
Well done putting all Swedish into the same scene as another Nordic people would have had hard not rolling their eyes beside them hahhhaaaa 😁 I love all the people from North! We are all pretty awesome!!!
Imagine if they put the Finn next to the Swede's😬
it's the Finns who sound like Elves! Finnish is so alike to Tolkien's Elven languages and that's actually what made me learn it :D
It's funny because sometimes in the Lord of the rings thrilogy movies when elfs or orcs are talking I sometimes kinda almost understand what they are saying.
Middle High German sounds like elvish.
In fact Tolkien took inspiration from Finnish for the Elven languages.
@@AleksiHimself Elves are from germanic mythology, there is even a german song from the middle ages about elves. The song is called "Von den Elben".
Jean Luk Pretty much every European culture has cretures like elfs in their mythology. Nevertheless tolkien was big fan of nordic and germanic mythology. However the language of elves is based of Finnish and Latin. Dwarves he shaped after jews and their language is based on hebrew (which is rather obvious). The language spoken by rohirim is based purely on germanic languages. The black speach is apparently based on some ancient mesopotamian language like hurrian.
I love the icelandic girl, she seems so nice and happy and her hair is beautiful.
The relationship of these 3 plus 1 nordic brothers is like the US, the UK and Australia throwing shades at one another while New Zealand/Canada stands neutral and gives everyone a hug.
I love the culture and the people of these countries and I was always interested in knowing more about Scandinavians.

Norway.. young women knitting.. you don't see that anywhere else so much as there Sweden.. arrogance and Nordic kind of similar stupid liberality and polite-correctness as in America. Other Nordics do it better Denmark.. my experience.. they are mostly polite.. more than other Nords.. chill and care more about environment (both natural and artificial) around them than rest of us Iceland.. most realistic of the bunch and still having great fun Finland.. I don't even know what makes them different from Estonians. Serious fucking guys who have retained more that ancient pagan vibe than most other
@@MrJuwarra finnish people care about the environment very much
@@tuutelis yeah, i know.. i didn't say they aren't.. it just seems to me that danes go extra length
Ja Darude
Every Finn I´ve met tells about how vegan they are. But they still keep eating basic pizzas after the student parties
This comment section is worthy of the animosity normally reserved for a comment section to any Balkan-related video.
Thanks. We take pride in our dysfunctional family much like the balkans
I think these people are very handsome, each one of them, their skin color, their eyes and their beautiful hair. They speak very cute and their accent is great! I was born in the wrong place on the planet, I think I am Latina with a Nordic heart
I died when that guy said 'Inbred' omfg
@hkistreet I know!!! It was just funny to hear him say that lol
@hkistreet The app wasn't created for that though.
@@Starkardur ...and this is how I find out my Icelandic friends lied to me.
@@saaraa7876 Íslendingabók - the app they are talking about wasn't even an app in the first place but a database created by DeCode which was a biotechnology company. It was attempting to create the genealogy of all Icelanders and Icelanders were, therefore, able to track their ancestry by using it.
@hkistreet Yeah, it's really cool. I found out that my crush is like my fifth cousin so that's great
Look at Eurovision voting and you'll know these countries really do get along well :'D
haha So true.
Dragostea you know, I kinda feel personally betrayed whenever a Nordic country doesn’t give another Nordic country the 12 points
@@Enkvinnasominteheterove then you must be feeling betrayed every single time because the nordics never ever give Denmark 10 or 12 points. 🤣🤣🤣 Denmark always gives the highest points to either Norway or Sweden and they couldn't care less, granted Danish entry has been shit lately, except for the very fine Vikings a few years ago. 😂
Magic Books ye but I mean like I only feel betrayed if for example Norway would give the 12 to like Romania or Germany or any other country ya know
Istg no points from any of our brothers this year, everyone just hates Denmark now I guess 😔
«It sounds like Norwegians are failing at speaking Swedish» As a Norwegian I think the opposite
as another norwegian, you're right
Youre right
this video just made me want to pack my bags and go to these countries They're awesome and perfectly match my vibe!
Nordic countries= Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland. Baltic countries= Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania Scandinavians= Swedes, danes and norwegians Urals= Finns and Estonians Balts= Latvians and Lithuanians.
Finns and Estonians are not urals, were finnic.
The Unusual Dispenser Finnic is a subgroup of Uralic...
The Unusual Dispenser Also, maybe something like Estic would be even better, considering Finnic people (Baltic Finns) first populated the Estonian side and only later small groups started crossing over and populating Finland...
There is more finno ugrics than Fins and estonians
Today I learned something
According to Swedish films: Swede : shy and insecure Norwegian : extrovert, brave and funny Danish : just plane evil and also unintelligible
Phil Rubi so true
According to Norwegian films: Swedes: dumb and annoying Norwegians: introverted and awkward Danish: funny and more sophisticated

Excellent! First real laugh since the corona shutdown.
Enjoyed the video. Very interesting.
As a big fan of Nordic, I really enjoyed this one. But I would love to see the dating culture differences among all these 5 Nordic countries as well. :-)
of course you are a big fan, asian people think the whole world is not good looking but people with light skin and blue eyed... in other words, favoritism and racism of asian people
@@maidanlebon7358 wtf
Maidan LEBON For the moment you mention “ Asian people” you are already racist, and I have no idea what you have mentioned has anything to do with the topic that I brought up, I simply just wanted to see the dating culture differences. Please do not say anything when you don’t know how to talk and how to respect other people words. Thanks.
Stefan Chang 我住在中国我知道这个是什么东西的 10 years in Asia.. off now I know the mindset and stereotype, I know it, you know it, we all who lived in asia know it. Apart from that 你的名字不是Stephan吗？哈
Maidan LEBON my dear, that is what you think you know. There is a big difference between “ you know it” and “ you think you know it”. Anything you said that makes other people feel uncomfortable please take it under consideration.
Haha good stuff guys! So much love for my Nordic neighbors! And Finland needs Sandstorm as their national anthem!
Petition to make Sandstorm the national anthem indeed.
@@sayitinswedish at least we have a national anthem.

We like to tease eachother in a good way. Always with love and respect.
I love my fellow Nordic countries so much ❤️ One time I was in Portugal and randomly bumped into a Norwegian lady and it felt like I had just met up with a neighbor or an old friend lmao. With love, 🇫🇮
You visited Portugal....you amazing! People were humble and kind?
@@KaiserWilbur We’re both. Our language is Finno-Ugric but both geographically and culturally we’re Nordic.
@@IL-bq1eo you are so different than other Nordics though , similar to Estonians
@@KaiserWilbur Finno-Ugrics isn't really a meaningful concept as anything other than a language family (and even that classification is actually quite controversial). The Finns are genetically and culturally the result of Uralic, Germanic, and Baltic peoples mixing together. Culturally, Finland is far closer to the other Nordics than any others, and our closest genetic neighbors are the Estonians and Swedes.
@@SRBOMBONICA86 As a Norwegian Sami I love all about Finland, and the Finnish are definitely Nordic. The Sami have more than 90% genetics in common with the Norwegians, and the Sami language is related to Finnish. I would say the Sami ties Norway and Finland together.
*Shows Finland* Swede: "We are the older sibling so we have to take care of them" Sure took good care of us during WW2 :D
I mean they took our kids and some of them didn't come back
I mean.. We did. We would've done more if the goverment of the time weren't such assholes. Finlands sak är vår as the saying goes.
Finlandssvenska ahahah
STARB0YY Ja 🙌
Sold us too big artillery shells :D
This was freaking hilarious and so easy going love it new subi😍😂
What I as a Swede think about the other countries. Norway: Expensive and mountains Finland: Moomin and liquorice Denmark: Pølse and wienerbrød Iceland: Volcanos and rock
Volcanos and rock? Come on give us some more credit lol
Wienerbrød is actually Austrian
Swedish people not talking about IT and technology. Danes not drunk enough. Norwegians not talking enough about mountains. Icelandic people not making weird music. Faroese people Finns without knife.
What? There are more knife attacks in whole of Malmö in a year than in whole Finland. Check your facts.
@@ThaV1c I think recent 'immigrants' to the city have caused a spike in the crime rate that wasn't there before. #inconvenient facts.
Jo Ou Finns in sweden is known for commiting knifecrime, atleast back in the day.

Jo Ou Haha yes i know thats not news. Just gave you an explenation to your comment. And dont worry, we will never die. Btw you still learning swedish in Scholes in Finland?
I'd love to see a video about what Balkans think of each other I am already imagining the craziest things people will say about one another
yes and one of eastern european countries too
Well, this channel made a few of those videos but they ended with a war each time.

Actually all these Nordic people looks really nice and easy going people, they look friendly, I'm latina (Colombia) , don't know anything about their cultures but it's interesting to learn about others cultures!
Why am I not surprised at the patronizing Swedes. 🤣🤔 They only had bad things to say about Norway and Finland. Like... We get it - you used to own us...
I feel like on Denmark too
Denmark used to own all of you...plus England.
I though the danish were being more patronizing😂 Everyone but them is boaring
Exactly lol
☝️ helt enig! 😂
This type of video with latin european countries ( France , Spain, Italy, Portugal ) can be great to do also !
I lived in Sweden and worked in Denmark, so I had to travel every day. I would say that I really liked Denmark, but the way I felt after coming to Sweden cannot be described. For me as a foreigner Sweden is so AMAZING place and my heart left there. Even that Danmark was beauty also, there is something so special about Sweden that make me feel inlove and like home.
What did you like in Sweden ?
As a Dane, I would say home is where the heart is
Swedes think they have no culture worth of preserving. That's why they are so happy for and friendly towards immigrants. They love everything non-Swedish, especially everything Middle Eastern (with the exception of everything Jewish).
I just love to see that kind of "stereotyping" each other completely light-hearted and even with a pinch of self-deprecation. I just hope I will live long enough to see the same kind of relation between my fellow Balkanians... :-(
Easy m8 it will happen ive worked with ppl from the balkans (mostly from former Yugoslavia) for 20-30 years now tbh we in Sweden we love you why you ask? you all tell the truth no sugar coating just the plain truth good or bad thats why we like you (others might feel difrrently but who cares about them)
Никад ,хвала Богу :)
