    I like how, at least in Helsinki, the "not in service" sign on the bus reads "ei linjalla" in Finnish. Literally "not on the line". For some reason that always gives me a chuckle. But it's a good reminder that bus is linja-auto, since you really never hear that spoken.

    We have the same system for mass transit in the city where I live( Portland, OR). A pass will allow you ride any bus/light-rail etc. for its timed duration. An all day pass costs 5$ US. You can also load money onto a monthly pass(100$ adult, 28$ youth and over 65). They deduct some money from your pass every time you use it, but it is good for the whole month even if you go over the amount on it. AND, f you do not use up all the money loaded on the pass, the balance left carries over to the next month( if you only use 10$ on a 28$ pass in July, it still has 18$ on it in August, and you'll only need to put 10$ on it to have a full pass again)

    Thanks for the video--always good to know useful terms like this! In the US, the driving age is younger than in most countries, which I find interesting, because the minimum age to purchase alcohol (21) is older than in many (most?) countries. Depending on the state, the minimum driving age is usually between 14-17. In California, you can generally get a learner's permit at 15.5 years and a license at 16 (though there are some restrictions for drivers younger than 18).

    In Poland, from quite a long time youths are allowed to start a driving licence course not sooner than 3 month before his/her birthday. If I'm not wrong, when you are 15 you can start in Poland a course for A2(?) tier licence which allows you to drive a vehicle kind like a car (microcar).
    Also: etymology is sometimes funny. Finns have their "flying machine", Polish have their samolot - "-lot" (a flight or a flying object in this case) "samo-" (by itself, doing an activity of being such thing by its own). The word "auto" in Polish (btw, pronounced more like äuto) is the abbreviation from "automobil" (yet old, deprecated Polish loan word) later further polonized to "samochód" (read: samo-hood), which directly means "self-walking" or "self-moving"... which is a direct cliché of Latin auto-mobile. Gosh - it was a lingo-historical ride, wasn't it?😄

    Funny thing is I had a short in my recommended....satujuna-skipeduveinau. Helpful facts thank you. I use to ride motorcycles when I was younger, the off road type. Then I did one street bike and I put it into a lake. The curves were fun up until that last one. I too have yet to ride in a helicopter. You missed at least one....they had a couple in a nearby town to celebrate....hot air balloons. I have not rode in one of them either. I did attend a hot air balloon festival in Lake George New York several years back and they are neat to watch launch and then they have a night show where they stay on the ground and flare up. Wow, sorry long comment. Thanks for the video. Kiitos

    If vene means boat, I wonder if Venäjä means "Boat people", their term to describe the early Russians raiding from boats like the Vikings.

    • @hyhhy
      @hyhhy Рік тому +2

      That is a speculated etymology for Venäjä, but I believe the more commonly accepted one is that it refers to Wends or Veneti, which are names for Slavic people used by ancient Germans and Romans. So, in that case Venäjä would basically mean "Slavland", not "Boatland".

    • @jout738
      @jout738 Рік тому +1

      I dont think it has connection as finn. Venäläiset is nicer term to call russians, when in the winter war finns used to call russians ryssät, that is bit more insulting towards russians.

    • @jout738
      @jout738 Рік тому +1

      Remember that there is three diffrent ways to say vene, that finns use, when talking about the specific type of boat. There is soutuvene, that means rowing boat. Purjevene, that means sailboat and moottorivene, that means motorboat. Yacht is jahti, but finns dont really own yachts. Laiva we always use, when talking about big ship, that goes to Stockholm or Talinna from Helsinki.

    Interesting. I would have thought public transport would be more popular in Finland.
    In the UK you have to be 17 before you can apply for a provisional licence to drive a car. You can also take a driving test for a car at 17. It's 16 for mopeds and light quad bikes. To drive a heavy goods vehicle, such as a bus or lorry, you need a full driving licence, be 18 and take further driving tests.
    In Iowa in the USA you can start driving at 14!! 😲
    (This big Train enthusiast notes down Juna for future reference). 😁
    Would not the ships that go from Helsinki to Stockholm be called Ferries? (Finnish for ferry?) For instance. We would take the ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam. We would not take the ship. Confusingly, ferries are always called boats even though they can be very large ships.
    What's the Finnish for cycling?
    Many years ago I had a motorcycle. A Suzuki 250GT. Did a ton on it once. 🏍 Also had mopeds and a motor scooter. A Vespa motor scooter had the nickname of 'sewing machine' because the noise they made sounded like a sewing machine. lol Have you ever ridden in a motorcycle sidecar?
    Do you have the equivalent of 'White van man' in Finnish?
    I have an ancient persons travel pass which allows me to use the bus or Metro for free after 10.00am. Our Metro is called the Metro. 😁
    Do American tourists get charged more for riding in a Taksi in the same way as happens in London?

    Ah, doggo sledges are not used for the transportation even at the North, do they?
    in Russia and Uzbekistan, people have to be 18 years old to get the driving license, and can't start learning officially before.
    And it's not common for everyone to start driving classes when you turn 18, I think not so many people have cars. But it depends where people live - in the countryside or in the city, in some cities like Moscow and St.Petersburg people have higher income but the cities are always stuck in traffic jams... In the countryside, public transport connections are very bad, it's better to have a car - even better a jeep with their quality of roads...
    In the mountains in Uzbekistan people still use donkeys for the transportation. And some places in Russia are reachable only by helicopters.
    Trains are the most common way for long-distance travelling in postSoviet countries. It's very uncommon for Europeans that we travel for days by night trains, 2-3-4 days in the train is very common, everyone of us had this experience. The train has stops and people can go out to get fresh air, then board back to continue the journey (usually they don't change trains).
    For example, I traveled a couple of times from my home city to Moscow, it takes ca. 2.5 days (60-65 hours). And 60-65 hours back!
    The longest possible trip is 7 or 8 days, as I remember.
