Fennish! Is my new favourite word

It's not "lohikäärme" originally. It's "louhikäärme" and "louhikäärme" translates to "rock dragon" in English. In Finnish folklore and mythology, a "louhikäärme" is typically portrayed as a creature that resides in rocky, mountainous regions, possibly guarding treasures or ancient secrets. The term combines "louhi," which can refer to rock or stone, and "käärme," meaning snake or dragon. This gives a sense of a dragon-like creature with affinities to the earth and stone, differentiating it from other types of mythical dragons that might be associated with elements like fire or water. The concept taps into the rich vein of Nordic and Finnish mythology, where creatures and spirits often embody natural elements and landscapes. "Lohikäärme" emerged later as a bit of a mistranslation or misunderstanding.

Every Finnish joke ever.

I have no idea why Matti name is referred to tiny. Taskumatti, Matti kukkarossa (Matti in a wallet) meaning broke.

I'm a bit disappointed if no one has taught you "hölökyn kölökyn" :D (It's a drinking toast)... atleast that one you might use a bit more than the tongue twister :D

Soita Paranoid!

Ye Irishmen or Scotman?

As I really can't enjoy some good salmiakki with a condom in it, I 100% agree with this message.

It's actually a city where that booze is originally from

I detected at least 1 whoosh in the comments

Finnish Postal Service: where is my package UA017919821FI? Please tell me because I can't access OmaPosti as I'm not Finnish, but only a Latino boy! Thanks!

I feel so much happier now!

True

True! Totta!

Osaatko suomee

This book is for children

Considering that the Scottish legal system believed a rapists assertion that he is a woman because he loves to dress like a woman and ruled to house him with women. That basically sums everything.

As a person whos from finland this is fucking funny😂

Is this a man ? Cause nowadays with plastic surgery you never know ...

Ray, you are spot on with your critique there. It is not even funny anymore how much the finnish street language is departed from what schoolbooks teach. Many foreigners coming to finland, have proudly with sweat and tears learned finnish from books perhaps university classrooms before they enter the country. And then already on the (Air-)port they discover they understand shit all what is spoken around them. And as soon they open their mouth, ___everyone___ and their dog know thats either an immigrant, or a tourist 🙂 Not only because of the obvious accent that you will never be able to get rid off your entire life (forget the plan about blending in so well that people take you for a native, its not gonna work) - they will also detect you because you are the only one around speaking "school book finnish" At that point, some turn away from you - some turn towards you (also methaphorically) - but you will not get the native2native treatment. Is that a good thing? i let you decide.

Come to Savo, you might notice you won't understand anything we speak if you are in rural area even if you are sober.... Unless you understand rally english, then you might understand maybe one third to half in good day... ...while not sober...

A Country Rock song in Finnish language. ua-cam.com/video/xocVj_TXv0Y/v-deo.html

That’s an amazing point! The Finns think someone who wasn’t born here (and isn’t white) doesn’t belong here, but actually immigrants have to take a test which (in any country) the nationalists would fail just like how how the religious know less about their own holy books than the atheists do.

Perkele ku poka puhhuu asiaa

The accent makes this so much better. Don't ever learn finnish to the point that you lose it to our rally english accent. 😅 Good luck learning finnish! The stand-up bit was great!!

Im from Finland

J Karjalainen IS My brother

The bit about the toaster is great and I can absolutely confirm that here in America we measure distance in levels of toastedness.

The crazy amount of use for the letter ä is irritating me

Ärrän kierrän orren ympäri ässän pistän taskuun I tie the letter R around a old pole(?) and place the ace in my poket. Why do Finnish people teach this to you? Because it is the most essential thing to PRONOUNCE correctly to make yourself to sound like Finnish 👍 The second and as important point is to undersatnd that you can learn Literal Finnish which is not spoken Finnish and both can be written unlike in English. Hello, I'm WizardXeze and I live in finalnd Literal Finnish: Hei, minä olen WizardXeze ja asun Suomessa. Spoken Finnish Tere .... mie oo WizardXeze Suomesta. Tough I wrote Suomesta which is From Finland but they practically are the same thing. Perkele, Vittu, Saatana, Helvetti and Jumalauta are all curse words which Finnish people like to teach while they offer Salmiakki 👍 I blame YOU for not asking Finnish people to teach Finnish in wrong way. Do not ask "could you teach me Finnish?" Ask "Hey, how do I say in Finnish ________ ?" it is YOUR fault if you give us the freedom to choose what we teach and if YOU want to learn something that might help ASK THE THING! Need to call help? 112: "Hei! 112! Nyt on hätä! Se makaa maassa tajuttomana! Voisiko saada apua! Ja mielellää vielä englanniksi!" "Hello! 911! Theres been accident! She is lying on the floor unconsious! Could I get some help! And in English if possible pleace!" OH WAIT you call 112 and say "I NEED HELP!" and the Finnish operator flips to English "Don't worry" in the most heavy Rallig English possible 👍 90% of Finnish people understand English and 75% can talk English. It just is we never use it so it takes a moment to REBOOT because Finnish is not similar to English at all unlike Swedish 😂 So give them time. They will probably talk slowly. It is because they have to remake the sentences while translating them in their head. "Toki voin olla avuks" literal Finnish "Tietenkin minä voin auttaa sinua" literal translation: "Of course I can help you" translation: "Yes, how can I help you?" Not only do we have to first brake our sentence but after translating it we have to again alter it to become spoken english 😂 not many think about these things but that is my theory why Finnish people avoid speaking English even if they can. Not only do they like their own personal space but also they don't have opportunities to talk in English. You can try Small Talk with Finnish in Bus but you have to be careful and ask more general questions and carry the whole conversation 😁 I have had few times someone talk English but I'm bad with small talk and don't have the skill to end sentences in to leading questions to keep up the small talk 👍

🤣🤣🤣

I just want to be able of singing SAKIAVEN POLKAA

Worst thing in Finnish language is wrong translations in movies and tv shows. They make it harder to learn real English words when they do that.

Name: Italian. Accent: Scottish. Audience: Finnish Hotel: Trivago.

use the word norwegian f35...bombing kiel...

You just got the most Finnish audience, boring as hell.

I saw this video quite a while back and I only got the passport joke today 😭😂
