What people google about Finland [Part 2] - Special Edition
This is Part 2 about Finland. We extended google searches to some specific questions and finnish sayings for my friend Petteri ( / petterilassila .
In this series I’d like to answer the Google Autocomplete searches from people about specific europeans countries. For each country I have invited a friend who was born or lived a few years in that specific country we will be talking about. My goal is to teach people more about these amazing countries in Europe and hopefully answers some of your questions as well.

@@FabrizioDaniele Hi. Where are you from?
Have you been to Finland? Is English your first language?
If you make a video about Finland, 99% of the viewers will be Finns.
Many 80% of People outside of Finland has No Idea - what Finland ( Saunaland ) is All About ! Many Never met a Finn - and so They think - That Finns are like too busy - going to SAUNA ?
Yeah we go sauna at least once a week.... Some go even More ofte than that
*VAPAUSSOTURIN VALLOITUSLAULU INTENSIFYIS*
The remaining 1% will be Estonian.
Spain present here :P
European dark is darker than American dark and American sweet is much sweeter than European sweet
But american Stupidity is Limitless ! ................
@@ralfhaggstrom9862 and american obesity.
as a Finn I can confirm that dark humor is indeed our thing. My best friend killed himself years ago, at the time he owed me 50€ and I was talking to my 2nd best/new best friend about it the next time we saw each other... My eyes watered, I was on the brink of breaking down and weeping like a baby and I said... "He just pulled a radical debt evasion manouver" and busted out laughing and crying xD both sad as hell and happy to have pulled a joke of that caliber out of my a** lol
said 2nd best/new best friend, was murdered less than 2 months ago and the guy who did it spent 10 days in jail and was then released....haven't found any humour to laugh about that, so there is a limit to what we joke about, but the line is def. different than in America I believe
You're goddamn right
Finnish history in a nut shell. War, plague, famine and cold
We have Formula One Drivers like No Other - Kimi Raikkonen - Nico Rosberg - Mika Hakkinen - Keke Rosberg ! The Team Sport is Finnish Baseball ( Pesapallo ) - or Annual Wife Carrying at Sonkajarvi !
Winter war!!!!
Oi I speak Finnish and I'm Finnish so shut up.
@@beanyoda8318 häh?
Finnish history In a nutshell part 2: ice age, Christian belief, sweden, war, soviet union, winter war, White death aka Simo Häyhä, plague
Finnish humor is often the truth or an actual thing presented as a joke, of course exaggerated a bit. If I was to say "We have police reindeer", I bet people would be sceptical.
(we actually do have police reindeer)
Finnish Humor is The BEST ! Unfortunately is is language based - so It is Nothing Like Hollywood !
Perkele this is true
@@holoholopainen1627 Great examples are the Fingerpori comics.
Miksi minä en tiennyt tästä??
As a Finn I remember being confused as hell the first time I watched "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" because Clint's character is called "Blondie" and I was like "is this sarcasm?".
Fun fact that Petteri didn't mention. Närpiö, where he has his summer house, is a place on the Finnish west coast which is predominantly Swedish speaking (the ratio is something like 88% Swedish-speaking, 6% Finnish-speaking and the rest are other languages). The name in Swedish is Närpes and the local Swedish dialect is very hard to understand even for native Swedish-speakers.
The Dialect is from " somewhere " - that Nobody knows ! From The Viking era - some People setteled to the Region - but Nobody knows where Their Language is from !
@@holoholopainen1627 It's really not that mysterious. Thing is, the Swedish language in Sweden has changed more rapidly than the Swedish language has in Finland. Fredrik Lindström, who is a television presenter and language scholar in Sweden, commented on the Närpes dialect by pointing to how similar it is to the Swedish that was spoken in Stockholm in the 16th and 17th century. Standard Swedish has changed a lot in the past 500 years, but in some places it has retained its form in local dialects.
Närpes gurkka
@@Cikeb No way ! Närpes is a " dialect " from Viking era ! No telephones & radio then ! They ONLY - Had The Open Sea ! Almost Nobody speaks Finnish - so They have been on Their own ! I find it very interesting - so Dont blame Me ! Thanks & Tack
@@holoholopainen1627 I'm sure the coastline was frequented by folks from the western side of the sea during the viking age, but that doesn't mean that the local dialect has retained its original form for 1000 years. The whole Ostrobothnian coastline was in close contact with the royal capital of Stockholm during the Swedish era. The seas were the highways of that time.
I don’t think that “Jumalan selän takana” is just far away. It’s more like being in the middle of nowhere. Not only far, but actually so damn far that there’s basically nothing else there.
There's no internet or bad connection to it
A Place that Even God - remembers that Is there ! Behind Gods Back - back stand for distance !
A place abandoned or forgotten by God (for those who believe)
Sauna saying is because the sauna is (usually) facing at the yard so that the back side of it was a forest that made behind the sauna a conveninet place to slaughter animals and the like and keep the offal pit and things like that away from sight of the farm house yard proper. Also "there's still room behind the sauna (for you)" is not an invitation but a thinly veiled threat. ;-)
@@FabrizioDaniele behind the sauna you would find the log and large axe that are used to chop firewood (for the sauna).
Petterin käkätys saa hyvälle tuulelle. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) More videos with Petteri, please and thanks.
Suomi mainittu, torilla tavataan ! It is a saying when Finland is mentioned some media outside Finland we should go to market square and celebrate.

I wonder how big percentage of the views for this video came from Finland. We are so curious of how other people see us.. :) Please make video about Romania, Czech, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia or Bosnia & Herzegovina.
My favourite Finnish movies are Napapiirin sankarit (Lapland Odyssey) and Rare Exports. Both of them display Finnish humour and mindset really well.
5:48 ohh, so that's where i get my humor from. No seriously, when i talk to my friends, really dark humor is something we all share, but when i talk to American people online, they just go "wtf that's so dark" -
Loved the video, I'd actually laugh myself to tears if someone said that suicidal rate thing/joke to me. I love dark and self deprecating humor
Maybe that's why Finland is so "happy" country because so many people take bad things and stuff with sarcasm and humor
Or our child-raising: bribes, threats and blackmail. A very laconic and cynical way to put it.
Petteri is very cute in a Finnish way, because despite everything (handsome, well-travelled, experienced, polyglot and what ever) he still blushes easily, and that's very genuine and honest! Hope he never stops!
Much love from Hungary. I love Finland.
Let's be fair, most peeps over here are just bored finns Torilla tavataan tyyppiset!
Torilla tavataan👍😊
Miksi ei pimeillä kujilla?
Miks?
@@Jrgosman Ok
Tavataan sitte🤗😄
Finnish is actually sounding lovely to Slovak me.
"päivä on pulkassa" Back in days when you were working you had wooden stick called PÄIVÄPULKKA and after days work you carved a notch in your pulkka then "päivä on pulkkassa" Your employer could then count those notch and see how many days you have been worked and pay your wage. That stick was also in two piece so you couldn't cheat by carvin extra notches then your piece and employer piece notches didn't match.
Good shit! Nice to see Petteri. Also quality content. :)
One of my favorite films is a Finnish one named "Heavy Trip". It's a brilliant comedy with a little bit stupid, but interesting plot and funny dialogues. Truly recommend just to have a funny relaxing time watching with friends
Thats a good movie (se on hyvä elokuva)
@@FabrizioDaniele lemme know if enjoyed ;)
Hi from Estonia.My favorite Finnish bands are, Him(Ville Valo),The 69 eyes,The Rasmus.Finnish and Estonian are similar languages.
I can already tell this video is great
Tuntematon Sotilas/Unknown Soldier is definetely the greatest Finnish movie of all time 100%
I heard That - One Unknown - Director is going to Film it 4th time ! Note - There has been seven ( 7 ) of TITANIC - and Every time They have Hit The Jackpot - and The same Iceberg !
That was hilarious, more like this. Assumption and truth makes me laugh. Thumbs up!!!
About he last one, "päivä on pulkassa", this comes from early job time / double receipt system in Finland (farms). Like when you went to work on some farm, the owner gave you a block of wood called "pulkka" (comes from "pulikka", a round piece of log). after you had worked in the farm for a day, the boss would carve a notch to your "pulkka", and a another one to hes "pulkka", that has your name on it.. this way both party have receipt of that days work, and the day's work would have been done (päivä on pulkassa [the day has been written in the wooden block called pulkka]). after week/month, you would get paid by how many notches your "pulkka" has (and of course your pulkka has to match the one the boss has)
This video make my day so much better, thank you! Do more videos like this
@@FabrizioDaniele Nice, i can't wait! And of course i subscribe your channel! 😊
11:00 he almost started to explain it in finnish. Se on = it's
Kiitos!
Wait you have 452 subscribers?! I thpught like 45 thousand bcuz of the quality omg
Great video! :D
Kalsarikännit is my favourite Finnish concept.
I feel called out by the Elephant joke :''D but it would interesting to hear whan an elephant would think of me! Apparently humans are cute to them
Well, the introvert finn is looking the tips of his shoes while talking to you, the extrovert on the other hand is looking the tips of your shoes.
Silence is golden. Duct tape is silver :D
Movie: rare exports
@@FabrizioDaniele it's a Christmas horror movie, in english mostly 😄 Iron sky is also very good, invasion of nazis from a secret base on the dark side of the Moon, also in english..
@@FabrizioDaniele That's the finnish mentality for sure! 😄
This video is so great

movie recommendation, kääntöpiste (turning point) as a finn not a big fan of finnish movies but that one was actually good & i would watch it again
The Moomin 1990 TV series is actually a Japanese-Finnish-Dutch show. Most fo the creators of the show (animators, directors, writers) are Japanese. So technically Moomin is an anime. Moomin also first aired on TV Tokyo, which, quite obviously, is a Japanese TV channel. So that's why it's so well known in Japan too. The Moomin cartoons before the 1990 we all know and love were also produced in Japan and actually never aired outside of it (due to Tove not liking them since they were pretty unfaithful to the original source material).
Also the writer of the original moomins is finnish-swedish (or whatever it is in English, suomenruotsalainen på finska och finlandssvensk ruotsiksi)☝️ Edit: The original writer is the previously mentioned Tove Jansson
Sooo, are you saying that i have been watching an anime since i was born. Wow, that means i beat most weebs
As a toddler in Australia, we LOVED the Moomin people cartoons; Dad is half Norwegian so parents felt it was a tenuous cultural connection ! We still call Mum 'Moom' after 50 ys and I've just found them Moomin character tea towels as a house-warming present.
summer cottage by a lake 5/5
That was so funny. Petteri saying that 'koittaa kepillä jäätä' related to a situation after a fight. My first idea was about it being about checking out possibilities, not after a fight but in general. Turns out I'm less 'Finnish' than Petteri (being a Finn myself).
Very good man. Thanks that. Hyvin puhuttu ohjelma. Kiitos, hauskaakin oli.👌😄😆❤🤝👋🌅🌏
Nice video! Btw, "Mitä sinulle kuuluu?" literal translation is "What are you hearing?/ What do you hear?". Could also mean "What belongs to you", but I think it refers to the hearing one :) not sure why, but it's like how are you, what are you hearing.
Funny, our summer cabin is in Närpiö as well haha!
Essa Pekka Ketola , my favorit hockey player from my youth in Slovakia.
Great video, interesting and entertaining! I am a Finn myself and always enjoy watching videos like these haha! I agree on many things with Petteri! He seemed like a great guy from the beginning and his laugh is super contagious but I like him even more after he mentioned Antti Holma, he is my favourite!🤩
I love how Petri sounds like Floki from the Vikings when he laughs a little.
I was at Netherlands in Heerlen in this small restaurant. We were six Finnish 30 year old boys talking loudly in Finnish. All other people in restaurang were Dutch. They were quessing where we were from. They think that we were Italians..
You should have said Jari Litmanen ! Everybody remembers AJAX Years - There are over 100 Dutch born - and named - JARI - as Their 1st Names ! Litmanen sounds Dutch - so many is surprised to hear that JARI - was from Finland !
Okei nyt pitää olla kyllä pilkunnussija mutta "they tought"
02: 38 Famous finnish citizens are Sibelius, Juha Kankunen, Ari Vatanen.
Dude i freaked out when he said närpiö, its the first time i’ve heard someone from finnish finland recognize my hometown

@@FabrizioDaniele i appeiciate your humble videos and how you reply to each and every comment properly keep up the good work
You should react to the comic series called "Finnish nightmares" It's hilariously accurate of most Finns
Sisu is my favorite Finnish word.
@@FabrizioDaniele I'm a bit late to this party, and my apologies if you've already received a sufficient explanation, making this explanation redundant, but I believe there is another finnish idiom to describe 'sisu': "Eteenpäin, sanoi mummo lumessa", which roughly translates to "Onwards, said granny in snow". Basically, it's guts or grit, the strength of will to continue and go on, to power through the difficult times.
Search "LaFave Bros" from youtube, because I just realised you two look a lot like them :)
My favourite place is jyvaskyla and souna near to kokkola called transcamping and ohtakari
Souna ? What exactly is THAT ?

I wish i could rock pink shirt like that
@@FabrizioDaniele I'll try but I will button up one button higher.
No, you cannot rock pink, my friend, you are too pale, I guess, if you haven't done it already - just stick to blue and white, and look smart. You would not like to risk looking pig-like as in: blond, gray-eyed, rosy-skinned, and on top of it, dressed in pink, together. We are never going to be as good-looking as Mediterranian people, colorful and beautiful in any colors. (Admitting my inferiority-complex and limits.) But OK anyway, of course, looks are only skin-deep.
@@DNA350ppm I'm not that pale, I think I have what it takes to wear a pink shirt
@@gorauma Sorry, I was only teasing in a Finnish way - the joke was that a Finn of course should have blue and white clothes, the colors of the Fininsh flag, and that Finns are generally considered pale, just as Petteri is considered blond - that's a joke, too, as he clearly has brown hair. There are in fact very few adult people in Finland with naturally blond hair - children are often really blond, but it is normal that their hair becomes darker and darker with age until time comes and they'll get grey. No offense intended!
@@DNA350ppm We're cool. No offense taken
It is called "Stadi" BTW. "Hesa" works, too.
Norse Celtic Australian, this is awesome. I recognise a lot of the analogies. Eg, a really good person is "top shelf" Also, rural areas have plenty of dark humour and we confuse the Yankers heaps with our healthy levels of self-deprication
idk why but im always happy seeing people doing videos about finland coming from a finnish person✌
Regarding the finnish actor question, the original actor for Chewbacca in Star Wars was a finnish guy called Joonas Suotamo. I'm not sure how long he was chewie's actor though, but he was the one at least in 4 and 5.
Petteri 😍
My favorite movie in finland is Uuno Turhapuro
its funny when you try to speak finish
to be honest,pretty finnish :)
Liked when You finished talking Finnish !
You should watch finnish movie together, Rare Export. That is english/finnish movie. There are trailer in youtube, but don't look at those. All I say that the movie is about Santa Claus.
Amazing video!😂 i had so much fun watching this (yes im a finn) 😂much love!
A good finnish movie is: ' Häiriötekijä ' !
I enjoy your videos. Im half Finnish And half congolese girl🇨🇩/🇫🇮 even though i have lived in Finland my whole life i still dont understand all the sayings in Finland

actually that last one, päivä pulkassa, doesn't mean a sledge in that context. pulkka in that context means an old timey work schedule thing, päiväpulkka
Idea is second same word in English and Finnish language.
there is lots of same words, but sauna is like only one which is taken from finnish to english. most of them are taken from english language to finnish language.

I wonder how "kids theses days" in finland know these actors, but in my generation these two are the most iconic finnish actors: Spede Pasanen and Uuno Turhapuro. Both most were comedians/acted in comedies.

"Päivä on pulkassa". Petteri, you have the meaning right = the day is done. But 'pulkka' in this case is not sledge but actually a stick. Pulkka=pulikka=keppi. So it means literally: the day is on the stick. Part of the rent of tenant farmers (torppari) was paid by doing a day's work for the manor (or many!). At the time not many could read. So the book keeping was done on sticks. When the day's work was done a line was carved on a stick. Each tenant had their own stick. So at the end of the day they could say: 'päivä on pulkassa' the day has been marked on the stick.
"Persaukinen" comes from the era when men carried their wallet in the pocket which was on the backside of their trousers. That was "perstasku" (arse pocket). When somebody stole your wallet (which was of course easy in this case) you went broke i.e. "persauki". Of course you could be "persaukinen" for some other reason as well (jobless etc.).
