- Germany vs. Finland - 10 Differences between Germany and Finland
My first video in German: • Video
Hello everybody! In todays video I wanted to try something different out. I am Finnish living in Munich, Germany since 3 years and I have come to feel very at home in Germany. However there are some differences whether they are cultural or just in general and I thought it could be quite funny to share them with you This way you can know what the differences between Germany and Finland are and learn a bit more about the two countries.
I hope you enjoy and lots of LOVE!

Thank you for this Video. I am still deciding between moving to Norway or Finland in the not so distant future, and while I know that nothing even comes close to making my own experiences and actually visiting those countries for an extend period of time, it really helps to hear from other people how they view their own country or what they have experienced. I'm from Germany myself, so this was actually even more helpful. Thanks a lot!
Thank you for watching! Where are you guys from and where do you live? Share an interesting fact about your country ;)
Been living in Finland for many years now but have lived in Austria and do find much similarities with Germany....... much easier in Finland though ( at least for me). Kiitos
This was really great, KIA!!!
Thank you for the inspiration ;)
Interesting! Never thought that our villages would be special. ^^Wish you a nice evening! :-)
Oh the German villages are really one of a kind
I've sadly never been to either place (yet) but it was still so interesting to hear! Thanks for sharing your experiences. 😃
You're very charismatic, thank you!
Finland, its cold and dark but still a better place to live than Germany. Life is easy and people are respectful even if you dont speak Finnish. Its not crowdy and more calm and peaceful. I have been just for 2 months here in Germany and i am already regreting here.
I am moving there. I am sick of Czech Republic
Can you tell me what are the problems living in Germany
good information shared and beautiful editing
Thank you so much
Thanks Kia. Super helpful as I consider reloacting to Germany
awesome video! Please tell us more about the Finnish culture :)
Thank you
The age limit for stronger alcohol (>22%) is actually 20 years old in Finland - not 21 :)
Really? Thank you Linda!! I swear "when I was young" it was 21..not sure though but thanks for the clarification! I always thought it was 21 ;) whoops.
Sorry to reply in asuch old comment, if commenting would be disallowed on old videos it would be disabled. And this comment seemed the most appropriate to write my reply. I found from Wikipedia that in Germany you can drink beer, wine and other undistilled (fermented) alcohol in bars and restaurants at age of 14 if your parents are present. Without parents the age limit is 16 for undistilled stuff and 18 for distilled (strong spirits). And from my understanding the same goes for alcohol you buy from shops. But in Finland you can buy anything under 22% alcohol from shops when you are 18 and when you are 20 you can buy the stronger stuff. But in bars and restaurants you can buy any alcohol when you are 18. Reason being it is served, you can only buy a shot at a time and you can not take anything outside the bar. Is this accurate and how do you control this in Germany? Are people under 18 simply not allowed in bars with something stronger than beer and wine? Or do you have to check the age on every order?
Interesting! I'm from California in the U.S. (found you through Zoey's channel 💜). Our healthcare system here is a joke! One set of my parents live in Belgium and it's much better in Europe. I loved visiting- Wish I lived there :)
Thank you ;) California sounds amazing!! And yeah..I have heard that the Healthcare system in the U.S. has its..issues?..I don't know but I am of course grateful for the healthcare in Germany..but in Finland..its just even easier ;) Thanks for watching lovely
Spending 4 trillion dollars a year for war means there will be some cutbacks :)
It`s not everything gold that`s shiny.
There are a LOT issues here. Especially regarding the "social system" e.g. healthcare. If you are working for the state there is, as far as i know no way you can get into the "normal" healthcare system so it`s much more expensive for you.
Kiitos Kia :-)
All the children's movies are obviously dubbed in Finnish. Just in recent (in the last 10 or 20 years) they discovered that also adults enjoy "children's" movies and they show some of them in original language.
hi. what do you think about pffarkirchen?
Hi I am applying to be an exchange student and wondering were i should go it’s for a year and I will be in year 10 (16 years old) language barrier is a problem so I know Finnish is hard but out of Germany or Finland what one do more people speak English and were would you suggest I put as first preference? Eg cultural experience and attractions as well as views
Hi Charlotte! I must say Finland and Germany are very similar in so many ways - I suppose I would say that Finland (Helsinki & Turku) they generally speak more English. I don't know where you come from but I think in terms of travel opportunities I would say Germany is better since there is so much to see and the distances not e.g. France, Prague, Italy are so small. If you are interested in Scandinavian culture than definitely Finland...to be honest...I think you can't go wrong either way ;) Its gonna be an amazing experience!
Kia Lindroos thank you so much for your response I am from Australia, I put Finnland first then Germany second. Thank you so much you information really helped so thank you 💛
Schönes Video! :)
I would like to add as a Finn(swede), that in my experience we often have a lot of respect for our university professors and lectors even if we call them by first name, and you can still be extra polite if the professor is strict. But the best ones are not!
That was so interesting.. It's also funny to see that you find some things annoying that are totally fine for me/other germans😂
But I think the thing with the doctors is not true.. you can definitely go to the gynecologist without seeing a gp first and that's also the case for other specialists for instance an eye doctor.🙈
Really!? :D I don't know where I heard that going to the doctors or Gyno especially can be very complicated :D I am happy I am wrong ;)
They tried to install a GP system a while back (with a 10 euro fee for seeing one without haveing the paperwork from the GP and for seeing the GP the first time in a quartal) but people just more or less just didn't care and the buerocratic hurdles to deal with it were more expensive than the fees taken in. So it was aboloished a short while later.
Thanks! I am so happy to hear that its not that complicated as I thought it would be. I think when I first moved here this rule applied and I was like..woah..:D
Haha ;-) You are right. "It seems more complicated as it has to be" Excactly what it is.
Greetings from Germany ;-)
The video was very interesting I loved watching you :) especially the one with the formal form. I tought all languages with a formal form use it like that bc I grew up like that xD thanks for educating my stupid self 😂 but I want to correct something you said in the video: in many areas in Germany it's not allowed to let dogs run free, it's called Leinenpflicht. Otherwise we would have thousands of dead dogs on our streets ._. If you ignore that and don't put a leash on your dog an get caught it'll be the most expensive walk you can probably take with your dog 😅
Thank you so much
I am from Austria and probably move to Finland because of my boyfriend and family planing. I think the doctor stuff is way much more complicated in Finland than Austria (can't be much different from Germany). If you have a problem, you have to go to a private doctor that he helps you. If you want to visit a normal doctor in Finland, you have to wait months to get an appointment (That is what I heard). So paying a private doctor is super expensive everytime and I often need doctors because of a disease which I have and pregnancy. If someone knows a solution, I would be happy. Also the hospitals only take you in Finland if it is an emergency. But if I have pain and need medication...what then? I can't always pay a private doctor ?_?
I'm living in Helsinki and have never paid a private doctor, you do get help from the public sector if you need. Theres a law that says how quickly you must get help, absolutely not months. Finnish system can be confusing though, there are several paths to find medical help, depending if you're an employee, a student etc. Of course in emergency you will get help right away. For those who are pregnant theres a separate system called "neuvola", Finland is one of the best places to be mom.
Hello! Ui. That does sound like Finland could be complicated then in some cases..I was only talking about my experience on some "smaller issues" I may have had and it was always very very easy..I hope you find some support for this! Definitely consider joining an international mom (or non mom) Finland group on Facebook. I find these groups often offer so much support in these kind of cases...I hope otherwise you enjoy Finland and I wish you all the best there! Being a mom in Finland, I have heard, is really quite amazing in many ways..;)
Thanks for the contribution
Formally addressing someone used to be fairly clear and as a general rule it still holds: adults who are not related or close friends address each other with "Herr/Frau + last name" and "Sie". It is still largely the default in most professional, business, grocery store etc. settings. The main different case are students and youngish people who usually go for Du straight away if meeting at school or casually. Also if you do sports together you use the informal Du. It mainly became complicated because "duzen" crept into a lot of smaller workplaces.
If in doubt, start with "Sie"; it is far more likely that you will irritate if using Du too early or inappropriately than the other way round.
As for dogs, I think there are rules that certain dogs (Kampfhunde) have to be kept on a leash, also depending on the setting. Unfortunately many Germans are more fond of dogs than of people (I think they have more dogs than children) and never believe that their precious dog would scare or hurt someone. Until it does. So one should not be shy to tell people that they should keep their dog on a leash or tell them if one feels threatened etc. (dogs love to chase joggers, how am I supposed to know if he is peaceful or not, please keep the beast on the leash!)
Thanks Johannes! This is amazing. Germans really seem to have a lot of dogs. Like I said, I love them...most of them seem nice...I more don't trust the owners that they have really taught their dog well enough for them not to be on a leash..unfortunately..:) Thanks for the input and have a nice day! :)
@Johanes Roehl +1 to your comments about dog owners. "more fond of dogs than of people" - well said :-)
great video! I'm german and i think that Finlands system is more transparent and up to date as germany. The Tax thing is so fucking complicated and we don't learn about it in school. There is another big complicated thing for example the insurances in germany. So all in all you are so right with your differences :)
Hi I'm Martin and I am a graduate from a university here in Nigeria i studied accounting, I don't know how I can get a job there in Germany I hear it's really great for career path. Pls give me your guide, thank you.
Finland has quite a lot of small villages, especially in southern Finland but usually they are just much smaller than in Germany
really? That might be true...Thanks Samuel :)
What is a small village in Germany is a small city in Finland. Unfortunately most of the small cities here in Finland are not that pittoresque as they are in Germany.
Nice video
The Tax System is working the same, unless you have your own business- When working as employee it's payed from your salary by the company / boss along with the payment for social security and you'll get whats left
If having own business it get's complicated,
"I am Finnish living in Munich, Germany since 3 years"
Seriously? Then you adapted very quickly: Your English pronunciation strongly leads to a common German accent. Furthermore, "since 3 years" is exactly the way most Germans would (wrongly) express a time period. :D
Anyway, I am glad you created this video, kiitos. :)
Haha ;) I guess you right! Kiitos for watching :)
Ole hyvä, terveistiä Ranskasta. :)
To be fair, the German dubs (the lipsyncs) are probably the best on the planet, especially if we are talking about big Hollywood productions, I've seen some Americans wondering if it's a German movie. ;-) It has some major advantages:
1. It can save some awkward dialogue of the originals.
2. You can write new jokes if it's something people won't understand because of cultural differences.
3. The large amount of professionals caused by this is really, really nice when it comes to videogames or animated movies, which have to be dubbed anyway.
Disadvantages:
1. Some jokes, especially puns, can't be translated.
2. You'll hear many voices used for more than one actor.
3. Accents will get lost.
Yes
Disadvantages
1. You don't learn iconic lines that can't be translated. Same for some jokes too.
2. Voice is a huge part of the actor's performance and a dub takes that away.
3. Learning English is easier when you watch the original versions
(4). Your first and third advantages make no sense. If the movie has awkward dialogue it's a shitty one and dubbing can also ruin some great dialogue. Second, what do you mean that games have to dubbed anyway?
I like movies where characters speak their respective languages. It was quite terrible watching an American movie adaptation of the The Book Thief that only includes German characters living in Germany but speaking English with fake German accents.
1. Some iconic lines have been translated very well, some new ones have created too. Depends on the quality of the dub.
2. But even if you understand the language, you'll never experience the expressions nearly a accurate as a native speaker. You'll get a new performance instead.
3. I've heard some people don't want to learn the language of every country where movies are made, they just want to enjoy and relax. Reading subtitles or hearing your second, third, whatever language needs much more attention and brainpower.
4. But a good dub can make it far less shitty, probably even good. That's the point. A dub should only mean the same, if the original suffered because a strange choice of words (for example), it can become better.
Have you ever heard of talking polygons or pixels?
*****
No idea how they came up with this, but honestly, it's even more creative than a common insult.
Advantages:
1: Cultural difference. body language behavior and word choice is different in other parts of the world and characters might not be recieved as intended if word choice, tone and style does not fir, this can be prevented with dubbing.
2: understanding for children, disabled , analphabets etc.
3: a doof dub has professional voice actors, trained specialy for delivering it just right. the lines are written new to translate the meaning, not just the words.
4. the jobs
5.some voices of actors dont fit the role but they can play it realy good. with an additional dub you have both
6: Bane from the batman movies was almost impossible to understand even for native speakers and had to be dubbed by the actor to make it hafway decent. even after this, for a foreign speaker its too much.
I think the biggest problem with doctors is that they won't see you because they already have too many patients.
But you only need a referral to a specialist if you have a Hausarzt, which you can state as such to your insurance. You don't need to though. (I personally don't see a point in having one)
Thank you Philine :) Good to know ;)
I really liked your video. BTW: Alcohol Germany vs. Finland. Samu Haber was asked for his favourite German word in a German TV show. His answer was: 'Trockenbeerenauslese'
I don't think you have used public healthcare in Finland based on that comment that you don't need to see general doc first. You definitely need to see general doctor first to be sent to specialist if you want to have that through the public system. And it is not easy to get them write those. If you have extra health insurance or you are ready to pay then you can go straight to the specialist in the privat sector but that is separated from the public healthcare. Also things like gynecologist are not included into the basic healthcare, they are something you have to go see on your own dime. From what I have understood they are included into the basic healthcare in Germany.
There's a theory that the alcoholism in Scandinavia is a consequence of the long and depressing winters. People don't get enough sunlight, which is not good for your metabolism and can lead to depression. Some people, or quite a lot of people, try to compensate by drinking alcohol. I read that it was even much worse before the strict alcohol laws were introduced.
Drinking age is 16 for lighter stuff like beer and 18 for the strong stuff. Given that you are considered an adult with 18 there are no more restrictions after that (there are very specialised exceptions regarding criminal justice and active vote rights but that will only matter for a small group of people).
Thank you for this :) I didn't know that...now I do ;)
It's actually 14, for 'soft drinks' if you're under parental guidance, 16 to buy wine and beer on your own, 18 for anything distilled (or containing spirits).
As a German I hate the little coins, too!! And I think it's great to see everything in German but would also like to have the opportunity to watch movies more often in English. :)
I feel like I have met so many Germans who agree with this..:)
THANK YOU about the dubbed comment! I have German friends and I now have to point them here.
What comes to dogs running free and cars driving very fast speed, there is one thing that is different in Finland and Germany too: wild animals. One reason they claim you should not have dogs free, is because the wild life that dogs would disturb and kill. Also, elks used to cause lots of deaths in Finnish roads, but with car safelty increased that has reduced a lot recent yeras. I've grown up with dogs, and I personally would love more freedom for dogs. I didn't have my dogs leashed ever while in forests or in less crowded places on roads either. I've been in French speaking countries too, and seen there too dogs run free where-ever. But I guess we do have less dogs traffic deaths in Finland, as a positive side.
Haha! Dubbed things are so annoying ;) Thank you for contribution
Yep, I can't watch dubbed movies. Had a few debates with my German friend, who thinks it's much better than watching the subtitles that ruin the screen. Animation movies are a different thing, but someone in studio cannot replace the actual original voice. Just can't do it. It's horrible, no matter how good the actors and lip sync. Even the idea that movie is happening, say, in Alabama, that all people there speak German, that is just so nuts - the immersion goes into a toilet immediately.
It's irrational to fear a free dog. It's much more rational to fear a dog who is defending his/her territory. You're like amazingly unlucky having met free dogs who tried to attack you (how did they fail?), it's rare like winning in a lottery. Almost 100% of dogs are not angry, although a bigger percent have been badly treated by their owners. Some dogs do run after fast moving things, because they have an instinct to chase, but even a chasing dog very, very seldom actually bites a human (and the best thing you can do is to stop). But people are irrational and also if you have a phobia - it's hard to battle. And I'm sure some dog hater will hate this comment.
in my school we have a history teacher called Jyrki but everyone calls him Jykä (im from finlald btw torilla tavataan)
Haha :D Exactly That would never happen in Germany ;)
I work as a cashier in Germany and people who are like 2 years older than the required age give me looks when I ask them for their ID :D
Also yes, beer and wine you can buy at 16, anything stronger you get to buy when you're 18, you don't have to be 21 for any alcohol really.
haha. Oh my...people who are juste.e.g. 18 years older don't usually look THAT MUCH older than 16 :D I guess they feel so adult and don#t want to be treated as kids..oh well..its always better to ask! I have also bought alcohol as a 16 year old (once upon a time) and know one asked for my ID.
...Hi, you can immediatly go to a specialist in Germany with your "Krankenkassenkarte". You do not have to go to a gerneral practitioner first, mostly.... And you must not pay 10 Euro anymore since a few years!!!! By the way, Germany has the best health care system worldwide!!! Even poor people get the best medical care!
Taxes are complicated everywhere ;) In Finland formal speaking is always used in the army (when speaking to officers) and customer service (private & public).
As for doctors in Finland it's not true. Maybe years ago the situation was better. But now it's almost unreal to see the doctor. And even if you managed to see the doctor, it doesn't mean that you will be prescribed the treatment or examination. They only can say to drink water and vitamins, and if you're too sick you need to take Panadol. This system now is horrible.
As an American I'm sitting over here like 😯 at all of the differences between Finnish, German, and the US. Even within the US there are differences between regions. I'm from Florida which is part of The South, but we have a larger Latino population down here and we do not have country accents.
We are very relaxed here with our language. & it's true, our healthcare is TERRIBLE! Taxes can be complicated depending on your situation....there are lots of tax cuts the rich utilize to pay as little or nothing if possible. Then the working class get no breaks. In my experience teenagers do not take education seriously enough here.
It was interesting to hear the first item on your list because (from what I've seen of) your boyfriend fits exactly the American stereotype of a German person.
The Spanish channels play Dubbed American movies. It's so bad! 😝 Oh I've blabbered on too much, but this is so interesting to me!
This was so interesting! Thank you Judi
Kia Lindroos yes we have a wide variety of Latinos! The largest concentration of Cubans live in Miami bc Miami is the closest to their island. under communist regime it was so bad they would cross the ocean on rickety, unsafe rafts just to sneak into the States. they were able to claim political Asylum and become citizens fast, that is why many risked their lives just to come here. it does bring some resentment from other Latin countries. For example, my family is from Nicaragua and it took many years to get our citizenship. we also have a lot of Puerto Ricans, but that is no surprise because Puerto Rico is a part of the United States. needless to say, knowing Spanish gets you far here. 😉
Wow! This is really interesting! SO much history to it all as well. I hear that its very good to know Spanish in the states ;) I have bene to Nicaragua! It was such beautiful country
@Cherry, Are you saying the healthcare system is good in the US or that the level of healthcare is good? I don't know how Obamacare is working out, but before that, if you didn't get health insurance through your employer and you aren't rich, you're pretty much screwed. You would either 1) die early, or 2) be in financial debt the rest of your life. The only thing that's "good" is that emergency rooms are required to accept you in even if you don't have insurance or can't pay the co-pay, but that just leads to the #2 mentioned earlier.
Whaaat, in Finland you use a teacher's first name!!? That's a culture clash for me for sure!
1. Ja, germans are more formal
2. car speed limit is 200km/h in Germany
3. respect your teacher and be formal. call him like herr. 2ndName
4. 7:00 complicated tax system
5. 8:08 german treatment system is so complicated
6. 9:38 germany is less strict in case of alcohol consumption
7. germany is more populated compared to finland
8. in germany movies are german dubbed rather than in original language.
I lived from 91 to 99 in Finland. What strikes you odd with formailty in Germany was for me the difference in being polite, which means in Germany devoting as much attention as possible to the other and in Finland appearing to pay as little attention as possible and not to bother the other. For instance, you are climbing the stairs in an appartment building and the people you meet woudn't even say hi until you say it first. I always joked that mentally Finns are still in the forest, careful about people they meet as they do not know their intentions.
Also very odd I found the behaviour of men in general. Girls are lovely, but men are like a different species. Not only fashion (I can tell Finns from others by just looking at the shoes), but priding themselves in having a knife, being able to build stuff from wood, pressing the voice as low as possible, not talking to women in a bar before they (the men) are drunk....
Finns and drinking (same for men and women): if you are not getting drunk, it's a waste of money. Germany: getting drunk is an accident, which can socially harm you.
There are many good sides of the Finns as well, I always felt very well there, it was my entinen toinen kotimaa. The notion of stuff being easier there and being overly complicated in Germany are somewhat true, in my opinion it stems from a) the size of the population, b) poor technical equipping of any kind of public administration in Germany, and c) the rule follower gene of Germans.
Haha Edgar. ;) I have to agree with some points for sure. I know what you mean with the men...:D I mean obviously not everyone is like that..but yeah..I think some "mistakenly" call it Sisu ;) Thanks for the input
Note that in '91 - you will hardly know this - Finland was a de facto socialist country behind the moon. Hardly any spices used in food, some fake pizzerias were the only restaurants, text mex came in Helsinki like in '92. The change that Nokia brought about the country was tremendous. A complete dfferent planet when I left it in '99.
wow! This is so interesting! I can only imagine how much Finland has developed in such a short period of time. Even in my time I feel like I have seen and experienced so may changes...:)
Sounds like Finland is a nice place to live after Germany :) At least for me :D
Edit: I now listened to the entire video and Finland seems like the States! I think I will take back my wish and go with Germany again xD
Haha. ;) Germany is awesome but I would definitely not compare Finland to the states ;) We definitely have more in common with Germany ;)
Thank you for this video lindroos .i have been wondering why most of today german society is Acting dumber now i know that the 16 drinking rule plays a ironic role in a way ... i Study Architecture since couple months and noticed many confusing things but ignored why compared to finland i think finland is better including nature ,calmness and so on . the cold could be one of the hardest challenges to endure . kitoos kia have a Good weekend .
Actual you are allowed to drink with 14 in germany ( if the parents allow it)
I always like it when people say "I don't like dubbing because the lips move different than the spoken words"
1st of all - how do you know how the lips move for every single word there is? Are you a lip reader?
2nd - unless it's a close up shot, why do you concentrate of 2% of the movie screen (the lips) more than on 98% of the screen (the action)?
3rd - you are just not used to dubbing because Finland is too small for it ... german/french/spanish/italian ... and so on ... speaking reagions have all dubbings
4th - we live in the age of internet streams, DVD, Bluray etc., so it shouldn't be a problem anymore to get the original language, right? Even theaters show often movies these days in "O-Ton"
For being 3+ years in Germany I am surprised how you still get things wrong, like speed limit or dogs on a leash. And the 10 Euro doctor's fee has been abandoned at the end of 2012, even before you came to Germany, seemingly.
thanks for confirming German stereotypes.... having to correct and criticise other people
@@eazyt84 yup, plus just being straight up rude (the first sentence...)
If you think you can use mobile phones as in Finland you will be shocked!
Like Michael and Mika
💁♀ PERIOD 💁♀

In America it's common practice to just ID everyone, even if they look eighty. That way nobody can accuse you of discrimination. Germany historically didn't have potable water in many areas, until the advent of modern chlorination in the twentieth century. So they used alcohol for water purification, and thus even children were drinking it (albeit at a lower potency than most modern alcoholic beverages, and in many cases watered down further). This is probably relevant to how they handle alcohol now. Contrast this with America, where potable water was always available everywhere, and the legal drinking age is 21, and a lot of areas are majority teetotal, and the majority of people who do drink alcohol, drink too much and get drunk on a regular basis (this last point is especially true in the lower economic brackets where the major alcoholic beverages are beer and hard liquor; it's much less true in higher economic brackets where people like to sample fancy wines and stuff).
You can go directly to any doctor, that is a mistake
You IS the formal version. In the past exist two forms but one of this decline
Why germany is so strict in about teachers and formal and informal speach and so on:
It comes from the prussian school system. It was very militaristic and young people should learn how to obey there boss or teacher. And sandly german kept those aspects of our school system and it hurts our country.
why it hurts germany? totally bullshit
I'm here to find out if Finnish people, like Germans, are typically serious and tend to not have much of a sense of humor, which is ironically hilarious. My only example is Kimi Räikkönen.
you are very sweet. But there is a lot of misinformation in the video. I am a German so ....... Sorry :/
Hi there! My intention was not to misinform anyone (and definitely not to insult anyone) just tell my perception and how I have experienced of things since living here :) I of course still have lots to learn, I know ;)
Kia Lindroos Hi, that was a fast response! I get what u wanna say. And with your answer here in the comments it makes much more sense to me. I guess in the video the statements are too final. For example about German rules. We call it Halbwissen. That can be very tricky. And another German saying says: Halbwissen kann gefährlich sein. We all live and learn. Me too :)
Haha ;) Yeah..I happen to be online now and saw your comment ;) I also get your pov and I appreciate it :) These types of videos are hard to make without talking to someone or having a reaction..;) If I would have said after everything that its not always true...or that its just my experience, well it would have felt weird ;) But I will try to make it more clear next time if I make any future videos similar to this one. ;) In case it doesn't come across the video: i really love Germany and enjoy so many amazing things and privileges!
Formal thing exist also in Estonian language. Language very close to Finnish. If You speak older person, boss or Your teacher You always say Teie. If You speak with You close person or friend You say Sina. And Dog thing is also same here in Estonia as in Germany.
When there are rabies outbreaks in Germany (there were none in the last few years), dogs have to be kept on a leash even in the woods. At least they should be, but many dog owners are quite irresponsible about this and don't follow the rules, apparently because they think that they would hurt the feelings of their canine darlings in some way. Their dog attacks you? Oh, "he never did that before! He just wants to play!"
Well I do believe most dogs are loving and kind. Its really a rare case to meet a not so nice dog for me...but some of them are either very protective of their owners or het threatened easily (e.g. when I run) which sometimes can be a little scary...:) But thats like 1% of the dogs..other ones are so nice ;)
Hundehalter wollen die Gefühle ihres Tieres nicht verletzen? Was für ein Schwachsinn!
Duzen and siezen, alright. centuries ago, you also had ihrzen and erzen. so.. be happy that you only have to choose between two of them. formel rulzes are strict in Germany? Better don't go to Japan, where you mostly talk to an one year older friend or collegie in formal speech.
its bavaria vs finland.
haha ;)
You could watch German TV, you know. There are some pretty good programs that are produced in Germany, so you don't have the "oh it's dubbed" problem, because it isn't, and you could improve your German.
Very True! In finland we had several tv shows in German that I watched in German (cause,,they don't dub there)! Since living in Germany I don't have a tv Anschluss so no ty..:) But yeah things that are originally made in German I love watching in German :) of course!!
Kia Lindroos I don't know if you knew it, but some channels have their programs online, so you can watch on your computer. But maybe it is good not having a TV, because along with the good programs there are so many bad ones.
Haha..thats what I think,..and I am also the one to get distracted with tv..I feel better without it..but please give me some suggestion good german tv shows! I would love to check them out! :)
Kia Lindroos since I don't know what kind of stuff you like, I can only give a broad overview.
Best police/crime based series: Großstadtrevier. And the older series Adelheid und ihre Mörder. (Most popular is the Tatort, of which each episode can be watched on its own and they vary greatly in quality.)
Soap operas: Lindenstraße and there is one about a Turkish family in Germany, I can't remember the name. (Maybe I should mention the most popular: Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten, but I don't like that, it's too stupid for my taste.)
Science shows: Quarks und Co , great for learners of German, because the speaker talks very slowly and uses simple language, Die Sendung mit der Maus, a kids show, but the Sachgeschichten about how things are made, different places etc are great for adults, too and the language is kid and learner friendly. There are several big Saturday evening science shows as well like Clever, die Show die Wissen schafft, or Frag Doch mal die Maus.
Quiz shows: there are many good ones, the big ones are great, but there are so many smaller ones, hidden in the afternoon trash or on small regional channels.
That's just a short glimpse, but enough to read for now.
And of course that is only my opinion, others will tell you differently.
Dogs .... we had wolves in this country, I think we can handle dogs.....do not run, stand or ignore the dog, then let dog sniff and go on....No panic, you belong to the dominant species on this planet, behave yourself like that

You can go directly to the gynecologist
As most cinemas offer every new film in the original sound, check the sites of the cinemas in your neighborhood

Finnish girls look better...that's all you need to know
You made an argument.
Finland best
короче насколько хватило моего английского для понимания- Финляндия несколько менее консервативная и затянутая как Германия. сугубо по ютубу я знаю, что в Финляндии меньше эмигрантов, лучше социалка, уровень жизни, экология, меньше коррупции, больше свободы слова и счастья, дешевле медицина. в рейтинге слабости стран Финляндия на последнем!!! месте. верховенство закона, неподкупность судов и уровень общего образования в Финляндии выше. семейным а тем более с ребенком- лучше в Финляндию
It's sad to see gorgeous girls like this move from Finland. Why don't you love your country?
