Decided to make a quick video of me speaking Finnish as some people request in every once in a while.
Thank for you all the support so far!
Btw I got the FC Barcelona shirt as a souvenir from my gf after she visited Barcelona.

About the income: at the moment I still make very little income and is comparable to a very poorly paying job. I can pay my bills and get by but to make it sustainable, I still need to work creating more revenue.
That's the reason why I bring this topic up.
Hyvää juhannusta! Happy midsummer!
I understand Aleksi! I'm suggesting this because this will boost Your viewership, subs, & ultimately income. There are thousands upon thousands of people who would tune in to You if You included some Finnish Racing History along with Your wonderful content! It's a huge part of Finland's character! I believe You're the perfect person to share this with Your fans & attract new ones with Your ultra fun presentation & presence. I bet if You reached out to Mika Hakkinan he would do an interview. A Finn interviewing a Finn. You could speak Finnish, English, or both. You both also have a wonderful sense of humour!! A change of scenery would be a good change for You also. Very much interesting fun to be had!!
Please Pardon the pep talk! I & so many appreciate & believe in You Brother & want the very best for You & Yours! Thanks for replying & all the very best along Your way! Moi! 🙏💖
Thanks Aleksi & Likewise!
I think street interviews are great and it's what people want since we can't travel, at least for now. I'd also suggest replying to less comments but giving a proper reply instead of just a short answer which is very cold, ok good luck Aleksi!!
Hard to make a steady income just making yt videos. But you do well Alkesi and are appreciated
Hi Aleksi. Sorry to hear that. Please put yourself and your mental health first.
Doing this full time can be very stressful. You may feel burnout if you have to make content in your relaxing time.
We're still here for you even if you don't make any content at all.
Enjoy your Midsummer. Talk to you in next month
Thanks!
Moi Aleksi! Thank you for sharing a very candid and personal view of the world of social media. I want you to know you are greatly appreciated and you continue to help so many people, especially me!! I wish you a happy and peaceful Midsummer, rest and revive for July. 👍🏾😊
Thanks a lot Veronica!
As always, I am grateful to have you as my companion on my road to Finland. Likewise, my life also goes ups and downs after moving to Finland. Yet the supports from friends, including you, are always in my mind and appreciated. 🙏
Just get some time to relax and keep up your work afterwards. I believe you can realize it for your life! 💪
Thanks Harry!
Juhannus is celebrated in places in the US, too. In the UP of Michigan where I grew up there is a big party at a beach with a big bonfire.
Good stuff!
Thank you for making this, im going to finland for 2 years and im trying to learn the language and this is a big help.
Good stuff! 😃🙌
There Are many Videos - of Helsinki and Finland in General ! But - What comes to learn - The Language - IT takes Time ! Like read a Book in Your Language - and read IT in Finnish ! Same Book - but TRANSLATED to suomi ! This Way You Dont Have to concentrade on - what IS going on - but how Do They say IT ! Helppoa kuin heinän teko !
@@holoholopainen1627 Kiitos
Have you thought about starting a Patreon and do exclusive monthly Zoom chat/meeting there?
Or set up a Paypal or Ko-Fi page so that your viewers can help you out.
I have the channel memberships but haven't added monthly Zooms. Worth considering!
Ty Aleksi, I find I learn more when you speak and I listen. Good luck with your work! Enjoy the cottage, relax and you’ll figure out what you want when you’re not depleted.
Thanks Tina!
Hei Aleksi, thank you for this video! I am very enamored by a full Finnish video and I enjoy listening to your Finnish speech. As far as I am concerned you can do Finnish videos on any interesting subject (yes, this is a subjective category). It may sound weird, but I would appreciate subtitles in Finnish, which I can use to import into my language learning tool. I do the same for Yle Rec episodes, for example. They provide only Finnish subtitles, which I am happy with. You could use the Finnish subtitles in for example "deeplearning" or google translate to translate to English. That way it might take less time to create English subtitles. They might need some correction, obviously. Personally I do feel a pang of guilt as I only contributed a little (by buynig the housing advice guy "micasa"). I only follow the youtube channel (none of the other channels. To get an idea of which channels your audience uses, you could put out a poll.. Lots of luck determining what you want (and please don't burn out .... ).
Should the Finnish subtitles then be the exact as it is spoken? The difference between the spoken and literary Finnish is quite big. Mullon = mulla on = minulla on
@@Kerppu68 Good question. If you look at Yle Rec you see that they speak puhekieli but transcribe more or less as kirjakieli. Sometimes some of the words are completely different. Still, that is better than no transcription and it really helps me. So, if the transcription is literal, that would be fine. However, if something like mullon in speech would become mulla on in the transcription, I would love that too. You see, most puhekieli is in some manner related to kirjakieli (as kirjakieli was derived from the "average" of puhekieli). So, in short, I would say, I would agree to either literal or slightly modified, as long as the transcript is recognizable in the speech. By the way, standard puhekieli, like mulla on or mä oon, sä oot etc really does not need transliteration to kirjakieli. Worst case, if a word is really different, I could ask in comments what it means. Thanks for the query.
Good luck with the Channel 👍
Thanks 👍
Great video Aleksi! Try and take care of your mental health! I am trying to reduce social media for this year. I still want that Certificate in Digital & Social Media and become an Eco-Blogger but it's on pause this year. I am trying to avoid it because of the news in Ukraine mostly. I have ancestors that left Eastern Europe Notably Ukraine and Poland for similar reasons. Also, My family, & I lost our grandfather a few months ago, so, I am just focusing on trying to get back to normal. I just finished a course on bereavement Introduction to Thanatology and am taking Humanistic Psychology. I was going to wait until Fall but, I wanted to try and get back to some sort of normal and see if, I could balance two languages at once. I am hopping if the "you know what" is not bad that, I can take that Ornithology course in Winter Semester when it's offered and Intro to Philosophy in the Fall, if I am up for it. I have been wanting to take that for a while now. Before, I get the "it does or does not exist" comments, it does not mater. If the school says, I can't be there, I can't be there plain and simple!
Great video, love to hear you speak Finnish.
Thanks! 😃
I never checked out your UA-cam before (I'm coming from Instagram!) but I really enjoy your content. I really enjoy the funny Instagram reels you make about finnish life, but I also find it super useful to have a reel like you posted yesterday with aikoa. Finnish books are useful for learning, but sometimes there's so much information that I need a "refresher" on the simple things. maybe you can start "series" of things! 1 time a week you could post a verb and how to use it in a sentence, and the rest of the time just do what you want!
Alex, you are an awesome guy, your videos are helping me to learn more about your culture and people, I moved to E spoo and I love your country. Your videos helped me to understand it better. You have impacted my life, I will never forget it. You are a dude who change lives. Thank you
Kiitos tasta videosta. Oli tosi hyvä kun puhut puhekielessä.
One vidoe idea is maybe do a video about buying a car and maintaining it in Finland? Cos I want to buy a car and learning so much of what I have to pay for it every year with all the taxes and insurance whereas, in my home country it is totally different. Just a though 😇
Moi Aleksi!. Great video, hope you make more in finnish :D. You're brave as to engage this path of being an enterperneur. Hope that little by little the income starts to get higher and higher!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing and hello from Canada. I LOVE the sound of Finnish. I admive folks that can self-motivate/be self-employed. Maybe one idea is to find a part-time job for a bit more routine/structure and use the rest of your time for content creation. Good luck!!
You are so welcome!
Hey Aleksi ! Your videos have been so helpful for me to learn the Finnish language! Really enjoyed that. Please continue on doing what you love! I'm recently into poems and I tried searching online but couldn't find any other Finnish poems except for the famous Kalevala. Do you have any recommendations?
Glad you like them! Unfortunately I don't know much about poetry.
Happy midsummer Aleksi, go have yourself a nice lakeside vacation
Thanks!
Hyvää päivä Aleksi! Mitä kuuluu?
That’s my polite Finnish phrase!
Finnish subtitles would be such a great help. It would help me to learn Finnish
You're very cool and awesome.
I don't understand a word in Finnish but I like the way the language sounds. It sounds calming in tone.
I wonder if you know about the phenomenal band from Finland called Children Of Bodom? They are my all time favorite band ever. And the lead singer and founder is also called Alexi. You surely know them, right Aleksi?
Yes. Many know CoB here.
He IS Good ! Ask anything - and Youll Get an HONEST ANSWER !
Have You heard The STORY - of Bodom " killings " - from where The name comes from ? They found ( 3 ) People Dead - The Killers never found ! Still OPEN Case - like PM PALME murder ! Every Day New leads coming in - working LONG HOURS !
Very nice to meet you. I would watch views of your country, and people gathered at an event.
Good stuff! 😃🙌
Since it is Summer and time to have some fun, have you thought about getting some friends together at someone's flat with your cellphones and putting on a play using the flat as your stage and just whatever you have to hand for props and filming it as a movie? There have been several big-name actors in the US who have done that, and it went over very well., A few have done Shakespeare's plays, and those were very popular. It would be great to see Shakespeare in Finnish.
Maybe you can encourage people to join your Patreon, then thank them at the end of each video,
or put a credit slide showing their names.
I see other bigger UA-camrs doing that often.
Also, you can encourage people to click the "Thanks" button on UA-cam to help you out as well
When I was in Paris there was regular couchsurfing meet ups, that was so cool. We can do similar thing and hook up with couch surfers
Hope you can make more €! Keep up the good work
That's the plan!
Thank you for your videos.
/Freshly moved to Finland subscriber/
Welcome!
Moi Aleksi,Its very hard to do things that you like!!!! and sometimes its impossible,faith is the driving force.Excellent video,I like the theme, spoken finnish only,kyllä.....Best to you EJ
Thanks!
Awesome!
Thanks!
Could you make a video about Bookshops in Finnland orwebsites? kiitos :)
Thanks!
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it!
Greetiings from Swedish Lappland, Torneonlaakso. Go on with your work.
Thanks!
How about making a meet up with your subscribers, we could ortsniee a picnic in a park in Helsinki? I am sure people would love to meet you
Hello Aleksu, I recently saw your videos and I can understand your situation.
Here is my suggestion. I am regular viewer of youtube vlogs. I have been watching Canada, Europe and Helsinki vlogs of many youtuber’s. And its true the most least views are of Finnish content. I analysed this and found out there can be multiple reasons for this. There is less immigration to Finland than other countries like Canada or Germany. There are less opportunities here. Also people don’t watch vlogs here because the process is quite streamlined here. There are still many topics on which there are no youtube vlogs for foreigner like step by step guide for buying Real state, how can you travel cheap from Finland to other European countries and so on.
My suggestion to you would be to start exploring other countries from Finland specially eurozone and focus how can you travel cheap from Finland to other countries. FYI if you google Finns travel the most in the whole world.
Now you have Ryanairways flying it sometime supercheap to fly from Helsinki. Also you must open another channel which is Finnish. This way it will help your to content to reach larger audience.
Let me know if you need to discuss this more I would be happy to share my experience as a foreigner in Finland.
Hello Aleksi. I saw you in Barcelona jersey at Sello Kirjasto. Not sure if that was tou but looks like I was right😀
Good stuff! 😃🙌
I like it when you are your self.....don't lose yourself. You didn't say one cuss word in Finnish!
Thanks!
Hyvää kamaa!
Kiitti!
So, I took a DNA test and found out that I am partly Finn. I never expected it considering I don't have connection with anyone from Finland whatsoever. I thought I would get some Spanish DNA though as my country was a former Spanish colony. But watching your videos made me realize how close my personality is to Finnish culture. Being an introvert in a warm tropical extraverted country, I thought I was just weird and don't belong. It turns out I just have this part of me that's different from the rest of my countrymen. I'm interested to learn more about Finland and the 0.07% Finnish people of the world population.
Kiitos
Ole hyvä!
Your t-shirt is beatifull.
Thanks!
Paljon kiitoksia tästä videosta suomeksi. On hyvää kuunnella suomenpuhekieltä.
Mä toivon, että sä jatkat UA-camvideoja, koska en ole Instagramissa.
Mä pidän todella sun kielenvideotta ja LiveStreams, mutta kiitos kaikesta, jota sä teet meille! Hyvä Aleksi! Onnea!
Kiitos William!
just an idea.... why don't you bank on the succeess of the "public interviews" format? you've done it before but not to the full extent. IMO they are really entertaining and would value seeing finns opinions.
It's a good idea but I'm not sure if I want to do those long-term.
It's OK to distract yourself with something you really like sometimes
Thanks!
At first I thought your shirt was something about bladders
I just started watching the Quarry, I actually, don't get distracted by game play videos too much anymore. Like, I still watch Jacksepticeye off and on except, the thing that was distracting were those daily gaming streams that stream live 8 hours a day and videos would play in the background on UA-cam and, I would always see and be tempted to watch them. It was hard at first but, I un followed most of them. I missed being part of the community and the conversations so, it was difficult but it was necessary because it was becoming an un necessary distraction. Now, I am more involved in the language and environmental communities on UA-cam instead.
The suomi is beatifull.love country finland.
when the subtitles are not saying the same as you it gets realy hard to follow. I like that you speak Finnish though!
Moi Alexi
Watching from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
Moi!
Perhaps look for more affilate marketing and brand deals to put onto videos, relating to the messages you already send. Language learning applications, perhaps look into starting your own application?
Maybe create some subscription courses. Have you tried doing private lessons and recording them for content?
So many options but seems your mind is flooded with work. You don't have the relaxation time to become creative and think of ideas and rather you are spending your time doing current ideas instead of thinking of new and additional ones?
These are all good ideas. I have actually done affiliate deals recently, for example FinnishPod101. Private lessons is not bad idea either but I'm not sure if I want to go so deep into the language learning stuff.
Moi Aleksi! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, man! It's cool you help us advance the Finnish, so thanks a lot!
Also, you might have seen this, but there's a little cameo of you in this video: "Why are People ANGRY at Polyglots? Debating Man who Claims to speak "29 Languages"".
I'll check it out!
Whats up I am a Bosnian Albanian but Everyone tells me I look Finnish lol and Every time I visit people think I am a native so I just wanted to hear the language I really like how it sounds
Moi Brother! I Appreciate Your videos so much Aleksi! Make sure to take care of You first!! As You look for content & fun while producing videos, may I suggest FOLK RACING or the WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP! Finland is a producer of some of the best racing F1 & RALLY drivers in the world such as Mika Hakkinan, Keki Rosberg, Kimi Raikkonin, Valtorie Bottas & on & On. Finland also hosts the WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP! I am aware Your interests may be different but there are millions of people who follow Racing & would appreciate You going to and sharing an event with us from a unique Finnish perspective. YOURS :)! And for the NERD in You the engineering of vehicles is insanely interesting & thousands of people locals & tourists alike show up to engage with these events. Where do You think the Scandinavian Flick came from haha! I believe You would have a blast & so would We with You! Finntastic!!! Please consider this & Keep taking good care of You! Unlimited Blessings along Your way along with all of You Finntastics who tune in to this awesome channel! 🙌💖✨🏎🏁
Nice Video & GREAT Info for many - that Dont know Finland so WELL ! Rallying and Formula One - Are like No Other Sports in Finland - that We Are known for ! Thanks to that The races are outside of Finland - and Our Drivers are active & driving on those Countries ! I believe that The reason to Be in Good in some Sport IS That we are so - Isolated as a Nation ! A Q - Do You know what Are The two Most Watched & attended Sports in Finland ?As #1 NATIONAL Sport of Finland #2 Most active Players ( Number of Players ) ? You Have to think TWICE - because - Neither One IS Football ! You knew All The Best Drivers - but how many Championships Finnish Drivers Have - Formula & Rally ?

Thanks for Your perspective Holo! I learned something today. Yes the isolation as a country can create some stand out athletes! When I visit Finland I will be looking for Folk Racing & possibly the World Rally Championship to take in. Ridiculously exciting & the engineering is second to none.
I believe Sisu in the Finnish culture runs deep & one of the reasons why such a small populous can create such champions in all areas of sport or anything. A sense of Unity!
Like a big family. One of the many reasons I love Finland!
All the best to You Brother Holopainen!
"Midsummer is all about relaxing and taking it easy" Uff, tell this to my 4 year old. We had all the 3 days full planned, there was no relaxation 🤣 I feel like we went from one fun park to the next one, she wasn't tired, but I was xD Uimaranta, one full day Särkäniemi, going to metsä, playground,... I'm still tired from it xD I'm not an entrepreneur and don't know how hard it is, but for example, and I think I can talk for others too, some people are only here on UA-cam, like me, some people may only look at Instagram, and probably a lot have both. So if you would do only Insta, I couldn't watch things from you anymore, unless I make an Insta account, which I have somewhere, but couldn't get into it. Since you do this full time, you could also speak about the tax ? I have always wondered, if you are an entrepreneur, how much tax do you need to pay to the government? But maybe you have said it somewhere already. Hope you had a great Juhannus and oh boy, how hot it is now in Finland, I'm melting here in Tampere 🥵
Hi Aleksi
I have a general doubt, You are Finnish citizen right, EU citizens can work, study and live in any EU country, for Example you are working in another EU country do you lose your Finnish citizenship is there a specific time for that?
Do you don't unless you denounce it yourself.
Have you ever attempted to speak swedish?
Yes. I learned it in school.
What about welfare benefits for example universal benefit income they had for two years What was pro and cons how do you thought of government experiments with this socal project? What was yours thought on this were any good for you to help out in finance or funds.
I don't know enough about this topic to give an opinion.
more finnish videos but with finnish subs pls

That's great!
Here an Idea ? Could You Do an Video of NATIONAL SPORT of Finland ? There Are many that has never heard of The Game - and surely think that Our Biggest Sport ICE HOCKEY - IS The NATIONAL Sport ! Everybody knows that curling IS from Scotland and an Olympic Sport ! As This season IS The anniversary 100th Year - Thanks to Mr TAHKO PIHKALA - WHO visited America & Boston Mass ! There Are many WHO would like to be a Pioneer of some Field - I am Quite sure - that Are learning by watching Your Videos ! IT Could Be Be like 3min - DARUDE RUN - SANDSTORM - that Ihas turned to be The Most Watched Helsinki video of All Time ! Some Dude in India found - Our game on UA-cam - and IS running - His league there full Time ! So If anyone wants to find Out The name of The Game - The Only hint IS name TAHKO PIHKALA ! The Summer IS slow at many offices - so many Could Have Time to think of 2nd Career in Finland ? After You find this Out - You know what to Look for - at UA-cam ! NOTE - I Have to Be HONEST - that I am NOT talking about Famous - AFRIKAN TÄHTI GAME !
