Update on Kouvola trip: 10,000+ likes with 4 hours to spare. I'm going to Kouvola...
My teacher left tuusula to kouvola. Be sure to meet her there! Her name is jenni haha. If you really do meet her, tell her i said hi! (I'm pretty sure you won't meet her but yeah lol)
Still waiting the Kouvola video
About saying please in Finnish - I usually use conditionals with a question word so that "yksi kalja" ("one beer") becomes something like "sais(in)ko yhden kaljan?" ("could I get a beer"). Then just thank them afterwards.
Really feel like "ole kiltti" is something parents say to their kids when they want to sound slightly passive-aggressive (which is usually said like "voisitko olla niin kiltti" and is basically equivalent to "would you be so kind").
The way I've seen it be taught in places has usually been "yksi kalja kiitos" which isn't something you'd usually see people use, it sounds pretty dry really
Technically "saisinko" is "would I get". But I agree, "ole kiltti" has a bit of a nagging tone to it. I wouldn't use that as a customer anywhere. "Would I get" is the polite way to ask/request something.
I do hear (and use) "Öö, kahvi, kiitti" or something to that effect pretty often, and I've never seen anyone seem upset about it. Maybe beer is different since there are usually options about what kind of beer, I don't know.
But I've certainly heard the same style, "laita karhu, kiitti". Some casual chat mght take place, but it's often separated from making the order itself.
@@TheRawrnstuff yeah that's true but I meant more as a translation rather than a direct transliteration , I was thinking that in English you'd probably rather say "could i get a coffee please" than "would i get a coffee please".
And yes it's kind of difficult to say that one phrasing would be applicable every time it's really dependant on the context. The "saisinko" can also be substituted with basically anything that fits the situation. Many times I'd probably say something like "pystyisi(ks/tkö) antamaan mulle xyz" ("could you give me xyz"). It's really tricky to say anything because all of these are so dependant on context,. For example,"laitaks yhden karhun" I'd probably read as kind of rude if someone just came to the bar and that was the first thing they said whilst it'd be perfectly alright if we'd have been chatting for a bit and they said it casually.
Many things also depend on where you live, I'm from up north so something that could be rude here could very well be normal down south and vice versa. But yeah there's definitely many ways to not be rude in Finnish when asking for something
yeah, I think google is correct to make 'ole kiltti' the direct translation, but in actual use it definitely has a passive aggressive tone to it
I disagree about "yksi kalja kiitos", I think it's fine and I regularly hear it. But "sais(in)ko yhden kaljan" is even more common and something I'd rather say.
Kalja perkele
Do not go to Kouvola. The person you send there ain't the person that comes back. It may look like that person, but it ain't that person.
A skin walker. Kouvola is the local mandela county
@@ukkomies100 😂
Can confirm. I live in Kouvola currently. Somehow I have started being obsessed of my old hometown(not Kouvola)
Can confirm. Went there and part of me stayed behind so I never came back a whole.
Kouvola is the ohio of finland
That Lempäälä dick lake is actually a series of rapids (all natural afaik). This is the town I was born in, only learned about the fallic shape when a coworker mentioned he lives close to "the testicles"
I was just in Oulu and it was close to -20C with bitter wind. Still I saw Foodora bike delivery guys. They were wearing ski goggles when riding their bikes. Still mad respect, the money don't come easy doing that.
There's also Brunberg chocolate! Best stuff ever!
The Orimattila's coat of arms scythe comes from Orimattila being big agricultural "city" and the horse from having over 200 horses in the horse training center. I've also heard a story about the Orimattila name. Ori = stallion and Mattila is a finnish surname, so the story is something about Mattila having a black stallion(Ori) but can't really remember if there's anything more to this
Yeah, story goes somehow like that for city name 😅
The story: Mattila (they had the biggest farm, land and so on) had a sort of famous stallion (ori). And to decide where to build a church (very important at the time) they decided to tie a huge rock for that stallion to pull. Where the stallion would stop with said rock, they would build the church which would be the center of their town. And so they did. Which is why it is said that the town's name comes from that famous Ori (who decided the church's place) and the most influential family in town who owned said stallion, the Mattila family.
Which is also why there was a place (it had a bar, restaurant, hair dresser and few other things) called Musta ori (The Black stallion) honoring the town's original black stallion. They had the best honeychicken. I still dream of it sometimes.
imagine if people from kouvola painted their walls instead of their roofs
9:28 in these days Panda is owned by Norwegian Orkla and Cloetta is Swedish.
Brunberg is Finnish (and makes lactose free milk chocolate!) but they don't have that many chocolate products so it might not come to mind when thinking of chocolate manufacturers. Their liquorice is awesome 🤤
@@aavakainen Also Brunberg’s dark chocolate is vegan or at least used to be.
5:23 Einundzwanzig is literally "one and twenty"
Ein = one
Und = and
Zwanzig = twenty
So 22 would be zweiundzwanzig, 23 would be dreiundzwanzig etc.
And that's all I know after learning german for two years in school lmao. Also 'Ich habe kein Geld.'
Never got to study German even though I wanted to. Only learned it from TV series and lyrics and visiting there but it was still easy to decipher this.
Also got to say ”wir haben euch gelt mitgebracht” when going to pay for the hotel visit which amused the hotelkeeper.
What I understand, Slough has somewhat similar reputation in England than Kouvola in Finland
Oh that actually makes a lot of sense 😂😂
I'm from Kouvola and currently live here lol. But if you do really visit Kouvola, I'd recommend Verla during summer.
As someone who lives in Kouvola, you're more than welcome here, also that building showed in the first meme isn't a residential building but an office building called Pohjola-talo. If I see you in Kouvola, I'll definitely buy you a beer
You also have Brunberg. So basically 4 major chocolate/ candy companies in Finland.
What is going to be the next place you are going to visit if you get enough views/likes?
May I present you some options?
- Highest peak (Halti)
- Most Northern point (Nuorgam)
- Go see actual wild bears (available at least in Kuhmo)
- Ice swimming (can be done pretty much anywhere)
- Spend a night in snow castle (easymode in Kemi)
- Drive or be co-driver in rally car (possible at least in Jyväskylä area)
Hooray for Lappeenranta and Willimies, but i think Lapua's guy wielding an blue robe and a stoneage club while riding a black bear seal would also be worth mentioning fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapuan_vaakuna
Who is gonna replace the hacker Dave after now that he is a good guy?
Let's see if NordVPN want to keep working with me 😁 Maybe Hacker Dave will have a change of heart 😂
enter hacker Cat 😎
Can you post more videos of you speaking Finnish. I think actually speaking helps a lot with your progress :)
Hyvä idea. Dave puhuu niin hienosti suomea.
Sledgehammer is a symbol for Wagner (a Russian private military group). I'm not going to explain it here.
I can offer some further words: it's become their official symbol because they've filmed executions done by a sledgehammer. Wagner are sick bastards.
These fools in Moscow are trying to show their support for Wagner by throwing sledgehammers into the Finnish embassy grounds as a threat. Wagner also filmed a video of a "bloodied" (red paint) sledgehammer they were going to send to the European Parliament (one of those similar sounding organizations).
Yeah. I think Dave has read news about this execution method. But still, idiots.
To put it in simple terms, throwing sledgehammers onto the grounds of the Finnish embassy is them issuing a death threat
@@utes5532 ..and still, idiots :D
Thats why I love spring. I can go out to the terrace in a t shirt, feeling the warmth of the sun and its only 5°C
Orimattila mainittu! TORILLE!!
If you are not going to Kouvola then go to Orimattila just because the coat-of-arms. Roni knows the hoods so take him with you. Also i am ex Orimattila citizen.
yes go to kouvola! fast and cheap train ride!
i ended up there while on my way to lahti but fell asleep. then went to sleep for a couple of hours in the paper collecting bin of the kouvola police station to wait for the next train back 🤣🤣
😃
"I'm proud of you son" is covered in number 8: "Good job".
Welcome to Kouvola! Lived 20 years here and it is not that bad as it looks though. Do we lay red carpets and have a ceremony for you? 😂
No. We just say "no niin".
I think you're looking to ask "should we lay". "Should we" when asking "should we", "do we" when asking if we do (to which the answer would be "no").
Just play viikate "mies joka nolasi kouvolan",
if dave ever visit in kouvola.
I'm from Kotka and I don't think Kouvola is that bad. You have Veturi, Tykkimäki and liquorice
I might be biased, but my favourite sigil is Villimies from Lappeenranta, in Swedish known as Villmanstrand :)
another subreddit you could take a look at is r/2nordic4you, basically the nordic countries making fun of each other in a light-hearted way. some of the stuff there might be a bit too... wild for youtube, but if you dig deep enough you'll find some gems. many memes about finland there.
The equivalent of "please" in Finnish is just "Kiitos" (lit. "Thank you")
"Yksi olut, kiitos" is in essence the same as "One beer, please"
"Ole kiltti" (lit "be nice") is the more pleading version of please, like you're begging someone to do something, you wouldn't really say it when ordering or asking for something in casual conversation.
The other option is the "-ko" suffix, eg. "Saisinko yhden oluen?" (Lit. "Could I have one beer?") Which is also a polite way of ordering something and more common in casual conversation when asking someone for something
So, when in Kouvola, you must go to Nipan kioski and maybe have a lihapiirakka nakilla.
WE DID IT, WITH A FEW HOURS TO SPARE🥳🥳 When's the trip Dave?
Haha... I'm not sure yet exactly. I'm still coming to terms with this reality 🤣
@@davecad You need to start listening Viikate ASAP, it is the best thing to come from Kouvola.
Kouvola is essentially Merihaka all grown up.
As a Swiss I absolutely loved your pronunciation of ‚einundzwanzigster‘ 😂
4:46 I used to live at the tip🤣
The bus still has ample standing room. I don't see the problem.
Lemme point out how illustrative the sledgehammer throwing is of whatever effort Russia would take against us. :D
Cloetta is swedish, the third finnish candy brand is Brunberg
You should be actor lol, the first clip was perfect, I loved watching it.
I lived in Kouvola for 2 years and got depression. And I'm originally from Pori.
If Finnish doesn't have "please", does every request just sounds like command?
Do you know Kalevauva? Their Kouvola song is pretty priceless. The lyrics might be a bit tricky tho
Even though you might have missed few likes from those 10k, you should still visit our Little Yugoslavia. Great place for solitary people + there's actually some pretty damn cool places.
I mean, on that Call of Duty zombies Kouvola DLC I had to enlarge the window and make sure is the house at right down corner the place I live in or not 😂
You sound like such a sweet human ! I'm subscribing!
Do not under any circumstance go anywhere near Kouvola, i’m saying this as a Finn.
The ad (hacker Dave) is amazing 😆
We need more reddit videos!
They'll be here every month 🙂
You guys have to help me, they are sending me to Kouvola next monday! 💀💀💀
:D Tervetuloa Vekaralle

Love Finland and planning to move at Helsinki in the future
you are going to Kouvola, even if 9,9k, lets go now we want to see it
They got the end rods in kivenlahti
Wait, haven't you had any finnish Brunberg truffel chocolate? Those are the best chocolates there are
Or suukko, which used to be called n33k321nsuukko back in 90's.
No niin UA-cam algorithm giving love to cave dad I assume or at least the recommendations got me back again👌👀
Are you going to play Finnish Army Simulator anytime soon? It was released not long ago

Kouvola is waiting for you Dave!
Me seeing the video, where he promised to go to Kouvola if it hit 10k likes, has now 10k likes:
Yiikes. Right at the end of the year.
Try to avoid Kouvola. I lived there for one year and have never been the same after that.
I love and am amazed at how calm he is 😮 😂so used to shouty annoying influencers 😂
in october it begins to be dark and after warm summer it feels ofcourse colder, at aprill the sun starts to warm and day begin to be longer and so on after cold winter +5 feels amazing...
6:52 I want this...
April should be a winter month D;
10:31 Ori means stallion
Ori is stallion so that explains the horse. Matti may refer to chess if It is not a name. La is simply a place suffix.
I'm finnish and love your videos!
Heh I have seen less mice in Finnish metro than in London metro. And I have only visited London twice.
Dave, Cloetta is Swedish!

Ruisleipä>kaikki muu leipä 😤😤😤
That Lempäälä landmark looks like something a bored Swedish lord might of wanted to order the lousy peasants to dig back in 1700's. Anyway it's very funny, I had no idea something like that exist.
Today I went to the store:
Clerk: "hyvää uutta vuotta"
Me: oh f●●k it's that time again when they expect a reply.
"Kiitos" is too cold, "ole hyvä" is too weird. "Samoin" is quite weird too. "Hyvää uutta vuotta" would be too friendly.
While pondering what to say I managed to walk out of the store and I'm still not sure what to say when when strangers speak to me. Except "no" when someone ask if you want a receipt.
Kouvola is a bit dangerous. Dont walk there alone in dark.
A lot of gangs.
The idiots who tried to hammer the embassy had played too much Super Mario Bros. 3
These are my favourites
"I'm sure Kouvola is nice ... please don't send me there."
Nice.

Now you need to troll everyone and visit Brunberg chocolate shop in Vanha Porvoo instead of Kouvola.
Welcome to Kouvola, we are waiting for you :D
Hello Dave! How are you?
No, Dave, the pictures at 5:58 are photoshopped. There's too much color in the lights. They are gray/white in reality.
yeah the vibrance has been turned wayy up
Could you try out the updated version of the finnish army simulator? They dropped it on steam like a week ago, it's like 30€
edit: it's not fully ready, but it has more content than the demo.
i live in Kouvola and its actually not that bad... if your dream is to live in the apocalypse.
Oh yes, come here!
This was awesome. Holy fuck that noniin thingy... got very good laugh there :D
noniin
Noniin
Finnish last names can be so goddamn random. One person in the video (5:11) has the last name Mansikka (Strawberry), mine is Kallo (Skull)
Kouvola 💀
Kouvola has gotten a little too bad rap for their architecture. I’ve seen people always post photos from there that look like they were from Pripyat. Haven’t been there but my train stopped there and had a short look of the centre. I was so disappointed as it was full of colour!
Also I think the pie in the mashup photo is not the Karelian pie but something else. The dough is different at least.
2:46 my comment :D
edit: my post was also in the vid, ty
Bold move to admit in front of the whole nation that you prefer the Swedish Cloetta over Fazer and Panda... But don't worry, we subscribers of yours will hold off the mob and pitchforks while you use the fire escape 😉
Well, to be fair it's just Tupla which I rate above all which is definitely a Finnish bar... Even if it is a Swedish company that makes it 🤔 Maybe that will save me from the angry mob? 😂
@@davecad Perhaps 😏
Go go go, like like like!
Kouvola mainittu! Jaakonpuistossa tavataan!

Dave you need to react to r/fingols. It has stuff about mämmi and Finns being Mongolians and even the 8245 BC Finno Korean Hyperwar!
Cloetta is rather Swedish though.
Kouvola is way better city than Helsinki/Tampere 😎
SUOMI MAINITTU!!!!
Actually Cloetta is swedish but yeah tupla is the best chocolate bar👌
Äjjä lähtti Kouvolaan eikä uutta videota 3 viikkoon..?
Don't go. This is not a warning.
