You have became better and better at speaking Finnish every video! And i respect that. Your very good at speaking it, i am from finland and speak Finnish. So its very nice to hear your story and everything! Terve suomesta kaikille! :)
Oikeasti? Kiitos minä yritin. Kiitos taas
@@DaddiDieselOlen samaa mieltä!
100 % agreement from me! Greetings from a native from Finland - now in Sweden!
I’m planning to move to Finland next year and I love your channel so much. I learn so much from watching you. Thank you ❤
Keep rockin! enjoy your life!
Hello Im Finnish And I Like Your Videos!
Moi! Ja Kiitos with my new editor I will finally be able to make more videos : )
Onko Suomessa Ollut Kivaa? Jos On Niin Hyvä :)
Im from finland and i love ur vids man
Thanks🌟
Glad to have you :)
Nice to hear from u. Waiting next video.
You're doing just the thing Finland and any other country wants from people who move new country. You learn language, behave, you work, respect the people and their habits even tho it seems weird first. You allso do good for the people that think nobody should come here. You make the best difference between the wanted and the other half. Thank you for the videos and talking too about the hard differences about moving to another country
I truly wish to live by action not by words. I truly desire to have a positive impact
16 years up here in Finland and counting :) Very interesting content man!!
Thank you 🙏✨
Vau! Puhut jo todella hyvin suomea. Thanks to share you story in here, i really loved lisening at you. Take good care and all good for you.
Not sure where the "change" thing was in this video, but you seem like an interesting fellow, gonna watch some more stuff.
Welcome to have you. I guess for those who have been riding with me for awhile. The change is the mindset and experience. I have been a bit distant from certain experiences and have felt like more recently I am coming out of my shell to embrace my surroundings a bit. But perhaps I didn’t quite clarify so well✨
Nice too see that things go well and you have progressed with your firm and got some new experiences as well. That keeps life interesting.
I had to laugh about the safety comment how president can safely walk alone to the store so here is no need for bodyguards. That remained me as Sauli Niinistö became president at the first time and it was nice summer day and someone had took a video shot with camera as president were sitting on terace of small pub or restaurant and having a pint of beer 😁.
Other funny story was after Metallica had released Load album in late 90s and band was touring world wide. The band came to Helsinki and James Hetfield had left from the hotel to walk around the city, look around some sights and got to McD to eat something. No-one interrupted him or bothered him that whole time. No paparazzis, no fans, no crazy random people... He said in the interview how amazed he feld and how happy he was that he could have that kind of freedom here and feel safe. And knew too that Metallica were world scale big band here too and concerts are always sold out on the tour so some people had to regonice him as he was walking around but still no-one came to bother.
That is so true that there isn´t much for need for bodyguards for sure, but there might be some doorman jobs in bars that takes care of drunken and aggressive finns that couses trouble in bars and restaurants. You can get the permit to be "järjestyksenvalvoja" in one day course. I´ve got that lisence propably early millenium or -99, can´t remember exact but about that time. I had other full time job already so i rather got out at the weekends pick some women rather than stand on the door 😁.
Hyvinhän se suomi sujuu! Hopefully you've enjoyed your time here. When you say "you can bring something of your own to a new culture to you", I hope you bring spices... Our dishes definitely lack them xD
The silly thing is that with professional bodyguard resume you'd possibly become "a mall cop" as in security company guard. And even then it could be troublesome without speaking fluent Finnish. But you know, a professional bodyguard might be a big asset in planning events, especially international events. Bringing that understanding to a place that doesn't regularly have much to think about in terms of personnel security. And someone with that background could definitely train people. Like there's been talk about school shootings lately, I'm sure a professional bodyguard could bring valuable concepts of thinking to teachers in their environment.
It's a big dichotomy in Finland currently: people would really love to keep the ability to get their services in person in Finnish, but at the same time our population is backwards structured and there's a constant need for immigrants to fill the workspace. With that situation you really can't take the stance that everyone has to speak at least good Finnish to be hired or work. Isn't that a huge obstacle for people willing to work to begin with. Actually I'm a bit upset for how things have been handled: we have massive shortage of doctors and nurses, but even if someone had medical doctor degree in their own country, they can't get a job as doctor in Finland for not speaking the language, they have to become like a food delivery driver or something. Even though at this point majority of our population speaks pretty good English. Sure you could say the communication between the patient and the doctor is important to not have misunderstandings, but if someone was not comfortable going to the doctor in English, why not have a possibility to agree on "would you be ok with English doctor if you can get your appointment now?" and otherwise assigned to a Finnish speaking doctor? It's just ridiculous waste of ability and knowledge while in dire need.
Honestly I've thought about it multiple times lately, how would I fare if I went to another country where I couldn't speak the language satisfyingly and for the first time in my life, truly fight for survival in some sense. I don't envy people who go through that trial by fire, but I respect them.
"And if you gaze long enough into Finland, Finland will gaze back into you." -Nietzsche, probably.
Did you move to Finland all by yourself? Because I think that would help you integrate to society a lot quicker. It would be hard(er) and a bit lonely at first, but after a while you would "Finlandise" and go with the flow so to speak. Im not from Finland (Sweden) and I have heard many ppl that came here to Sweden say they feel lonely and depressed. And I can understand that, I mean the winters is.... COLD, DARK and LOOOOONG!! 😁 But then the summer comes and it's the same thing but the exact opposite. Warm, Sun all day (and some places night).
great video.. By the way your voice is amazing. Perfect commercial voice.
Thank you, truly appreciate that : )
what is the name of the movie that you were in Daddi Diesel?
It is still in pre production but it’s called Delivery Run
@@DaddiDiesel alright il keep an eye on that movie, thanks mate
Have you btw yet been to avanto?
No but I've heard of it for sure
👍👍👍
Be honest, you just make this video because it does well on UA-cam etc. what do you do for work etc.
Not sure if you checked out the community tab but that’s the current direction. Life in Finland, Work in Finland, Finnish Learning. You just watched Life in Finland experience next is work. However trust me not just for “what does well” more so what’s on my mind at the time. My editor wi make it easier for me to make videos though👍 because my work takes a lot of my time. I’ll share that next as I mentioned 🔥
Welcome to Finland 🙂 For learning the language a bit more, try start following the local soap opera called Salatut Elämät (Secret Lives). It gives you fairly good "every day finnish language" people use in this country. I actually recommend this to everybody who moves to another country to learn a bit the local language, like I followed (and still do) Emmerdale whilst I was living in the UK.
Our new version of the infamous finnish war movie based on real war here, the "Tuntematon Sotilas" new version. In that movie there is a finnish higher-ranking senior officer, at least a major I'd say. In the midst of bullet rain, he looks at the liteunant lying there trembiling, trying to pull himself together and lead his squad, and says to him: canlmly and like a very balanced man: "Son, rise aup and lead our men. Come.", and the major starts WALKING forward in the middle of the bullet rain, for at least 10 meters, then russian cannon fire blast hits right at him, totally killing him on the spot. In that instant, the trembling liteunant and the privates of the squad rise immediately and start chanrging fast to the enemy line without a second though.
And that is a real reaction from us finns. The big reason why our president can go to places without guards, is just that. If they killed our big chief, imagine what would happen. We would just run straight to get our guns and grenades without a second thought and wouldn't stop until we'd be all annihilated or reach Putin and allow him to enter the afterlife through our hand, our bullet. That is Finland. That is like when a mother bear sees someone even walk towards their cubs, even then the mother bear will most likely pummel them to death with untold fury, leaving nothing left of the person or maybe animal. Imagine if mother bear saw someone hurting or killing her cub, that would be ungodly bear spirit fierceness they'd face. Not something you forget in this life nor the next few ones, even if you happened to somehow stay alive through it.
Daddi Diesel is powers gasoline in my life...
Its funny how you think that our president can walk alone anywhere without guards, but what u dont know is that you just dont see em, because they are everywhere. Most of the guys u see on the streets has a military training. :)
Aww that's awesome, Still to have any space at all is uniquely different for us. Do you guys president have secret service for life afterwards? I'm just a bit curious
@@DaddiDiesel Yes, every retired president is always protected 🫡
Here in America, our presidents and former presidents must ride in virtual tanks and or, military planes and helicopters when traveling. Gun violence and right wing facist extremism is absolutely out of control here and has been for decades.
Btw! I'd volunteer to be former Finnish prime minister Sanna Marin's body guard / security detail!!! Seriously though, Sanna Marin kicks ass and from an international perspective, is a true Finnish rock star. A great example for girls and women around the world!!!
By the way, I love Finland!!! Have been there three times on vacation over the last 10 years. Stay strong Finland!!!
@@stevenchayer9199 She was so effective in power that, whole nation struggle atleast 5 more years. Current government is a mess too, trying to cut from social security benefits. We will try to hang on! 😅

We do not have red carpets when we go to beg for money in the social office .
I don’t understand? Please explain your social office comment above
@@DaddiDiesel It means Kela. You can get some money from there, if you are lucky. Many poor people try to get money or some help. Some of us get help, some of us do not get help.
@saturahman7510 I’ve never used Kela before but understand that it is quite common here in Finland
It's because your finnish woman... 😊
Kroisantti
What does that mean?
@@DaddiDiesel Means croissant, altough I have no idea what they meant by it.
@referplays4846 Lol ok , but u so like croissants ironically
@@referplays4846 i dont know either
@@DaddiDiesel Now we are talking my favorite language stoff! Some say, and it piques me a little: that they can't understand *one word* of Finnish!!!
So I just must give you all a hint or two - in loanwords/international words Finnish doesn't use C, only K or S. Finnish adds a vowel (often i or a, some times ä) to foreign words, then the endings that function as an additional information, is easier to "glue" to them.
Guess these: *sitruuna* - yhdessä sitruunassa on jopa 39 milligrammaa C-vitamiinia.
(you see gramma and vitamiini, too, 😀)
*poliisi* - poliisilla on iso operaatio käynnissä Vantaalla.
(you see operaatio, too )
*ambulanssi* - aivo-infarkti-potilaalle on heti soitettava ambulanssia numerosta 112.
(you see infarkti and numero, too 🚑)
*presidentti* - presidentin mielestä teknologian opetus on demokratiassa keskeinen päämäärä.
(you also see teknologia and demokratia 🌍 )
Good luck learning Finnish with the help of words you already are familiar with, both to you, Däddi, and all your Finnish-learning followers. 📖✏📕
Google translate gives free support with pronunciation, too. Use copy and paste! 👍
Do you see USA heading towards civil war or some states separetion ? Chinese flowing(young men) in through southern border is crazy !
I live in the State of Maine, USA. Somewhat like Finland here, mostly forests and lakes with a rocky mountainous coastline along the Atlantic Ocean. We also experience long dark cold winters with lots of snow. And some of us sensible people, like Finns, prefer to drive sensible cars such as Saab and Volvo.
Yes, I would say the USA is in the midst of a "cold" civil war as we speak. And yes, there is a significant percentage of the population who live in the Southern USA, (former Confederate States of America, 1860 - 1865) who would either like a renewed, "hot" civil war, or separate from the USA. Particularly the State of Texas. You know, the rightwing, red neck, religious gun nuts!!!
From my point of view, if the (former Confederate States of America), including Texas want to separate from the US, I say good luck and good riddance. Doing so will result in fewer problems for those of us who live in the more "enlightened" and "peaceful" Northeastern USA.
And no, China is not flowing men across the USA Southern border. False information such as that, is absolutely rightwing, White Christian Nationalist propaganda, is dis-information and is being generated from where do you think??? Correct!!! From the (former Confederate States of America), including Texas.
By the way, I love Finland!!! Have been there three times on vacation over the last 10 years. Stay strong Finland!!!
I think our current prime minister and our treasury minister might need some bodyguards pretty soon! 🪦🪦
Should Finland elect Sanna Marin as the prime minister again to come back and take care of business? I love Finland, been there three times on vacation over the last 10 years. Stay strong Finland!!!
@@stevenchayer9199 Marin has completely ruined her reputation now. No chance of her ever being the prime minister again
