That's a good question, I'll explain it quickly: Many Poles, for example, are interested in what I think about Poland, but not what I think about other countries, so they would only watch the Polish videos. It's important that viewers know what they can expect from me. In addition, a lot of Polish people comment in Polish, which would be quite exhausting for the Swedes to translate every single comment. In general, it's important to have a niche on UA-cam. I know many channels that react to every country and always get subscribers from that country, but as soon as that country is no longer present in a video, they no longer click on the videos. There is nothing worse than having a channel with many subscribers but few views. No matter what you do, you won't be able to change it and the channel is dead, that's why I say on my Polish channel that you should only subscribe if you are really interested and watch a lot of videos. Because the UA-cam algorithm works like this: first it looks at how well the video is received by your subscribers and recommends it to other people accordingly. This means that if many of my subscribers don't click on it, my channel will never grow. SO A REQUEST TO EVERYONE, IF YOU DON'T THINK YOU WANT TO SEE MORE VIDEOS, PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE, IT HELPS ME A LOT MORE THAN IF YOU STAY SUBSCRIBED.
The fact that in Sweden in the olden days the bread was mixed with wood shavings was not because they liked it, but because they were forced by necessity in order not to starve to death during years of poor growth - there were those who even ate hay and grass for to survive.
To clarify something they got wrong in the video: Allemansrätten (Right to roam, or directly translated to "Every mans right") does not only apply for "places owned by the county" as they said, but does indeed include privately owned land. But there are rules. You are allowed to for example hike, ski, pick berries, mushroom, and fish(some places you need a fishing permit only to make sure no over fishing is done, but that is easy to get). You can go for a ride in your boat basically wherever. But you cant leave it wherever. A lot of places you are required to pay for a boat "parking space". You can also camp as long as you aren't staying an extended period of time since that could almost be like occupying the land and you are even allowed to make camp fires as long as there isn't a temporary fire ban but those are mostly issued during summer if there has been a dry period in the area to make sure there is no property or forest fires. And you can do so much more! But you are not allowed to litter, basically leave the place as you found it and do not make it worse. You can't enter a fenced in area like livestock pastures and things like that. You are not allowed to walk on land and fields used for growing crops during planting and growing season since it's basically destroying peoples property when you trample the seeds/crops. You are not allowed to camp near residential buildings, walk around in someones backyard or tie your boat and go on shore on land that is part of someones plot. And you are not allowed to harm animals, trees or pick endangered plants. Us Swedes really value out outdoor life and our life as we know it wouldn't be possible without Allemansrätten!
I didn't say what I thought it meant literally, but its exactly what I thought, because its soooooo similar to German Alle = all Mann = man Recht = right -> Allemannsrecht in German, altough we would substitute allemanns with jedermanns, because Jedermann is already a word in Germany and means everybody. 😊
Also during the summer the municipalities can forbid the use of fire if it's too dry. You're not even allowed to grill. This is to prevent forest fires from happening
Who pays the most taxes in the world? Highest tax burden in the world. 1. Denmark. 46.9% 2. France. 45.1% 3. Austria. 43.5% 4. Italy. 43.3% 5. Finland. 43.0% 6. Sweden. 42.6% Employer contributions are included in salary. So the employee's money, not the employer's. Important to remember.
But In sweden health insurance is inclueded in taxes right? Because it isnt in Germany. We also have a public healthcare but different instituions are responsible for taxes and healthcare
Jantelagen doesn’t exist as a personality trait. It’s a huge misunderstanding that has turned into to a ”truth”. Jantelagen isn’t even Swedish at all. The law of Jante was actually invented by a Danish-Norvegian author, Aksel Sandemose in his novel . It has nothing to do with ”bragging” or standing out in your society among your equals. Jantelagen alludes to the little citizen against the authorities like governments, everywhere where the power govern a population. What Sandemose points out is the surpressed citizen where it is the powerhungry authorities ruling out ”don’t think you are someone special”. The idea of Jantelagen origins from his perception of the ruling authorities in his hometown Nykøbing in Denmark. He is stating the Jantelag rules in his critical novel ”En flykting korsar sitt spår”. It has absolutely nothing to do with Scandinavians among their fellow likes in the society.
Living in Norway is pretty mch the same as living in Sweden. You make 3 times more money but everything is also 3 times more expensive so, you get pretty much the same quality of life for the same type of job. If you live in sweden and work in Norway tho... thats pretty damn nice.
Is Norway part of the Schengen area? If so, you could earn in Norway and spent in Sweden, I think that would be an awesome deal. Many swiss do that here 😊
You'll find we have two main groups of vowels. Hard and soft vowels. Hard vowels are AOUÅ. Soft are EIYÄÖ. Some nouns like K and G has two ways to be pronounced. Example: Kök (Kitchen) is pronounced Tjök, Kaffe (Coffee) is pronounced as it's spelled. Göteborg is pronounced Jöteborj, and the island of Gotland are pronounced as it's spelled.
This is why in Skåne we pronounce kex like tjeks because it follows the rule and everyone makes fun of us for it even though according to the grammar we are correct
When it comes to the pronunciation of the letter G, in Swedish we have the concept of hard and soft vowels. The soft vowels are E, I, Y, Ä, and Ö, while the hard vowels are A, O, U, and Å. These vowels deterrent how the consonant that proceeds them should be pronounced så for example they said Götaland and you heard then huw the G was pronounced, they also said Gamla stan (the Old Town) and the G was pronounced differently. If you for example say the word Kyrka (Church) the K is pronounced like the Ch in English, while the word Kaffe (Coffee) the K is harder.
No ”glögg” is the drink that is more like Glühwein. Mould wine with spices like cinnamon and other Christmas like spices. ”Punsch” you mostly drink cold, and is sweeter and stronger. Traditionally with the dessert, or coffe, or with the yellow pea soup in the old days.
The max speed limit on a highway eg. "E20" is 120 km/h but general speed is 110 km/h. The general speed limit on general roads is 80 km/h and 100 km/h on roads with divider also called 1/2 road.
That's pretty reasonable especially because you probably have much more rural areas with tinier roads and also they are probably way more often frozen in the winter then German roads 😊
There a many parts of the Autobahn that have a speed limit for quiet, safety, weather etc. reasons (statistics say 30%, I would say from personal experience more, but probably this is biased because I drive faster and therefore I spent less time for more km on the parts without speed limit😂). All the other parts dont have a speed limit, but there is a "Richtgeschwindigkeit", so recommendation speed, by 130km/h, that means you cant get fined for driving faster, but if you are way above and you have an accidant your insurance probably wont pay anything. :) @@TheMickeJ
@@TheMickeJ They have a sign thats like black and white with a black stripe down diagonally own the middle over a circle or maybe a rectangle I don't remember), which shows that the speed limit is suspended in that section
Glögg is basically mulled wine. But Julmust is something very special to Sweden and I'm not sure of a good way to describe it since it's very unique but it's a carbonaded drink and google says it's like a blend of cola and root beer but that is not very exact at all. But it is for sure a MUST(had to come back and edit in that I didn't even realize i made this pun until much later) in every Swedish household during christmas and easter. The Coca Cola sales actually drop by more than 50% during christmas and easter since everyone loves julmust/påskmust so much and don't buy a lot of other soft drinks.
Must was made as a alcohol free replacement for beer, so it has malt and hops (Must is made of carbonated water, sugar, hop extract, malt extract, spices, caramel colouring, citric acid, and preservatives.)
Norway is expensive, yes. Some Swedes go there to make more money than at home. You are correct with the Ö. :) The south of Sweden can get snow, but you can't depend on it anymore, the more south you get. This year though there were lots, still is. Yes, it's actually reindeer, you can't sell reindeer meat and it's really cow meat. I don't eat meat anymore but I still remember it being really good, can't lie. It is close to gluhwein but not exactly the same, there is also lots of non alcoholic glögg in different flavours. If swedes are not drinking mostly they would not flirt and walk up to someone, they would have to know the person and "take an interest" in a more relaxed/friendly manner, not openly saying "I am interested in you", but if they drink alcohol, they do. 😜
@@ChrisSweden Your welcome! You do? I'm not sure we are that expensive, not compared to Germany, guess it depends in what areas. I would say Norway and Denmark (and sometimes also Finland) is more expensive, but I don't have the stats.
The Law of Jante was actually formulated by the Danish-Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose and reflects the mentality of the small town i Denmark where he grew up. K and G is softened when it is followed by E, I, Y, Ä or Ö. G is turning into J when softened, and K is turning into Tj (voiceless J, which is similar to German ich-laut, but not the same sound).
Yes, you got "Malmö" right :) That G (and K as SCH and SK as SCH) sometimes is pronounced as J has to do with soft and hard vocals and front and back vocals. (Gift ("Jift") = marriage, poison). Same thing goes for K sometimes being pronounced as SCH, as in Kilogram ("Schilo"). And SK pronounced as SCH as in Skiner ("Schiner" = Shines).
Its funny that marriage and poison has the same word 😂. Btw. Gift = poisson in German as well but not with a "J" sound, but like the english word for present :)
South had snow, but not necessarily every winter. I live in Göteborg and this year we had a decent amount of snow, but only for a short period of time. I see no snow at all here right now. Is quite different every winter.
In anyway, swedish and other Norse languages have its origin around the south of baltic sea, they even think that we spoke the same language! Its now refered as Low german and/or Norse! However it was the Angels, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians tribes that tought Britts to speak English!
G is pronounced like G in front of our hard vowels (a, o, u, and å) and other consonants, and like J in front of our soft vowels (e, i, y, ä and ö). We do fear global warming like everyone else (almost everyone else - looking at you conservative Americans) because when it will be a fact in x amount of years, the rising waters will cover most of southern Sweden and the coastlines of northern Sweden. In the past Sweden always had cold and snowy winters, but in more recent years they have been mild in southern Sweden. This winter has been very snowy and cold all over the country though, and because of global warming and changes in the atmosphere we can "look farward" to colder and snowier winters in the future (this is true for northern Europe in general). Yes a couple of idiots had sex inside the whale and ruined it for the rest of us. Meatballs are usually made from a mix of beef and pork, but in the north reindeer is more common. Glögg is similar to glühwein. Punsch is more ilike a sweet version of cognac or brandy. Swedes are exactly like Germans when it come to helping people. And Swedes do flirt, just not as openly as other Europeans, and not as much when sober.
This video is not that good. The swedes doesn't really have a good grasp of Sweden, with it's laws, geography and such. I think they have been in the US for far too long.
Why do people like you make multiple UA-cam channels to react to different countries? Why not just have ONE channel?
