That phrase about päreet also shows how awkward translating is sometimes: päre was a very basic Finnish word during the mainly farming era of Finland (of 2-3k years), because the country is located inside a forest basically. So there are loads and loads and loads of stuff made from wood. Päre is a thin wooden strip, yeah - let's say 'shingle' is one suitable word for it in English, because one of the major uses of päre, shingle, was/is to make roof from them. It's that roof covering which looks like made of wooden scales. Just päre was used for many other things as well in Finland: before electricity and gas lamps they were used as 'lamps' also - because one päre burns relatively long, and gives enough light you can do some indoors chores in it's light, like carve furniture or weave clothes.
2:26 When I did Juha Vuorinen's Juoppohullun päiväkirja in English (Totally Samshed! The Hangover Diaries vol. 1), I translated kalsarikännit as "boxer boozing" ;-)
@@VeryFinnishProblems Oh, it's a very fictional series of novels, but there's always a bit of truth to fiction! :-P The character is pretty raunchy, and yes drunk and/or hungover 99% of the time! I did the first one at the end of 2015 and it was released April 2017. I did the second one, but it hasn't been released yet.
@@VeryFinnishProblems It doesn't have to be literally in underpants. And it's not so much a party if you just get pants drunk with a couple of close friends. Sauna might be involved though. So then if actually putting underpants on after sauna, it's about putting some clothes on instead of taking clothes off. :)
The phrase "lauantaisin saunan jälkeen" can allso mean the lack of sex in the relationship and doesn't always mean that actually every Saturday you'll have a chance😕
I wouldn't have thought that being honest about your drinking habits if they're a bit problematic is much of a thing anywhere in the world. The more you know :)

Well, now the Finnish phrases were well explained!

Lol! That's brilliant! Love the alliteration. So you translated them? I've heard of the books but not read any of them. They're non-fiction, right?

boxer boozing sounds like drinking with mike tyson
Underpants drunk doesn't need to be done alone. It can be done with friends too, but really casually and without an intention to go out.
Really? What so an everyone laying around in their pants party? 🍻😀

3:14 that "ooohh" 💖
tuhannen pillun päreet is an estimation of size of the tree before it is logged or made in to 1000 wooden strips.

Lauantaisin saunan jälkeen pimeessä peiton alla. Vanilla sex.
Hihiii this is true. Now I know where the tuhannen pillun pareet came from. Kiitos ja hyvaa kesan jatkoa sinne Suomeen 💗
3:20 "netflix and chill" get ready for Sauna and Fauna
If someone asked me to go behind the sauna I'd think it was some "hot" action :)
They only time you should go behind the saunu if they ask, is if a girl is doing it.
That sounds like very wise advice :)
As a Finnish woman I will tell you, don't. Unless you are tired of living ofcourse
@@MsWill813 You could say she sucked the life out of me.
@@Northernliiights You could say you only getting murdered
Mä elän vieläkin
Well they do make sense if you know finnish language..
Skk Yeah, but ask a 100 English people what these translated sayings mean and you’d probably a hundred pairs of shrugged shoulders. 😀
More into tyttöjen saunailta, on a saturday 🤭🥴
So, could we even get this guy behind the sauna anymore, or should we take up sniper positions around "the" tori?

What about the karelian saying "hintit löyhähti". It means something like, weaklings got roasted. Or something
Damn there is some weird shit going on there!!!
