I found your channel a few days ago, and I'm so happy I did! As a Finn it's so interesting to take a look inside your daily life here, thank you for sharing it. Wish you an amazing semester&lots of motivation! ❤❤
Finland has an apple tsunami this year 🍎🌊 Many have apple trees in their garden and this year the apple trees have absolutely loved the weather, so now people don't know where to put all their apples :D The weather still is quite exceptional right now in Sep.
Just want to add to this. Usually we put eggbutter on the karjalanpiirakka, cook a couple eggs and put them in a bowl with butter and mash it all together and add a bit of salt. But you could also go simple with only some butter and cheese or whatever you like. And always heat the karjalanpiirakka before eating/putting something on it!
Spring = "kevät", and summer = "kesä". Not certain what language would exhibit ë ("këvat" or "kësa"), but it's definitely not Finnish. Just saying, I find it a bit amusing... :)

@@heya_world I was listening to a radio program where an author described her language journey. She is originally from the Czech Republic. She writes and has published using several languages. And of course she also speaks several languages. Her story was interesting and had some interesting details of why she had found leaning Finnish not especially difficult. She had found several reasons why it's actually easier. Though she did mention also some challenging aspects of Finnish grammar she had struggled with. One thing she found useful was that it was different enough that you wouldn't mix it with the other languages she knew. She also finds it easier to write by using just one language at a time and not try to switch thinking between different languages. Thoughts are expressed in so different ways in different languages that mixing them makes thoughts mixed up. She also found that Finnish is more flexible allowing more ways to construct sentences and express thoughts with different nuances.
@@heya_world Asking about whether a sentence makes any sense in Finnish is a complicated question. Flexible language rules allow one to construct sentences in various ways giving slightly different meanings, emphasis etc. Often there is some meaning, which can be interpreted even though it would be a rather unusual and grammatically broken sentence. So, making sense might depend totally on the reader and the context. Using more standard and regular language is advisable because it is shared by more people who understand it the same way even in different contexts. But it's definitely not the only way. Finnish language has variations and it's a living constantly evolving system.
Karjalanpiirakka isn't really "Finnish", it's more like appropriated into Finnish culture from Karelians/Karjalaiset who are an indigenous and colonized people in Finland and Russia.
There is not ethnic difference to other Finns. Areas in Finland are formed a long time ago as clanlands. My fathers side is part from Karelia what Russia took. My mothers side is from Bothnia. Only indigenous people in Finland are Sami.
@@simmysims9209 There is actually quite a big genetic and cultural difference between Karelians and Finns who live in the west of Finland. I know that Sámi are the only recognized indigenous people of Finland because I myself am a Sámi, however, Karelians are indigenous to the land of Karelia and there are quite a lot of cultural similarities between us Sámi and Karelians due to a lot of shared history and living areas. Karelian erasure is quite a big issue in Finland since their existence as a separate ethnic group is denied in itself
@@zahando5420 If you know about the different old genetic traits of and how populations have moved and intermixed already in earlier times, and then add to that picture, what different dialects tell about interactions of different regional cultures, what do you see? Calling some population indigenous is just an agreement with some juridical significance. The first Homo Sapiens groups in Finland after the last ice age were probably not directly any of these current groups or their direct cultural ancestors. Larger populations arrived and grew later and what we currently call Sami people seem to have been among them. There has been population moves and interaction with different groups throughout history. Same people are from the same Finnic language origin as the Finnish dialects. It's a more arbitrary decision to choose, what is a different language and what is dialect. It's even possible, as some have thought, that there are reasons to believe that the label Finns was first used about Sami people who in those times lived in southern Finland. For some reason these identify questions seem to be important to many people even though the differences are so minor. It seems to be part of the pack mentality or instinct we have that we need these smaller group identities.
One could also question how a pie with rice could be Finnish since growing rice in this climate isn't likely to be successful. Better to just acknowledge that just about all food has been somewhat international for many generations. Not totally, but influenced by many other cultures and also many ingredients have replaced older ingredients. Potato is a good example we all know.
@@just42tube Using rice is certainly an adaptation to changing availability of ingredients and tastes. Before rice, it was mashed potatoes, which is definitely still widespread. Before potatoes it was something like mashed rutabaga, or pickled mushrooms. Then again this sort of hair-splitting on originality is mostly pointless; even salt was a subject of "international" trade deep into the history - or even prehistory. I must also state that sudden argumentation on blaming Finns on "cultural appropriation" of Karelian pies (among other Karelian things) when this was not an issue in the past and doesn't seem to be one for vast majority of those with Karelian origin seems at best, interesting, and given timing of late, more than interesting. Nobody is claiming that they would be "Finnish pies" after all. My Karelian mother, living in Western Finland, has never had an issue with this. The issue with Karelian pies is that she has is that she is worse at making them than she wants to be. I think they're just fine!

@@mikrokupu this makes sense since my professor keeps bringing more apples 🍎😂
Great video! Keep up the good work.
"Healthy taste" sounds like a very polite way to say "bland" 😅

😍
4:00 do not make the mistake of buying cheap karjalanpiirakka from a grocery store and eating it cold & straight out of the package...

You study Finnish, I think, so;
Omenahyve jäätelön kanssa vai oliko sittenkin piiras?
Oops, forgot to respond! se oli yksi jokaisesta! Does that make sense 🤔
@@heya_world
"yksi jokaisesta" means
"one from each".
But if you mean "one of each" it's
"yksi jokaista".
@just42tube thank you! Yes I meant yksi jokaista. Now I learned a new phrase!
