Ok so just a little correction to the Karl Fazer story he was never Swedish he was born in Helsinki 16 August 1866 and his father was a Swiss born man so no relation to Sweden. If my memory serves his original last name was Faltzer and i think ppl had hard time announcing it or something so he dropped the L so he became Fazer. I saw the video about his life that's the only reason i remember even half of this stuff plus a huge fan of him chocolates so i guess that helped too :D
@@kevinmajorca Finland was not a province but an autonomous part of the Russian Empire (The Grand Duchy of Finland 1809-1917). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Finland
@@kevinmajorca Finland's official name was that time Grand duchy of Finland and had even a flag of their own. Finland was before that directly a part of Sweden over 600 years Being an autonomious oblast of Russia 100 years Finland had a lot of privileges. It had own government. Swedish was the official language. It had own postoffice, swedish laws etc. Also Finland was strongly existing. Also Finland was called east Sweden.
Karl Fazer has parents who moved from Switzerland. The recipe is also Swiss, but not brought by their family. Karl's son Sven got the recipe from an Englishman as a thank you for helping his son-in-law. Ps. If you are a fan of Swiss chocolate, you propably like Fazer Blue.
With pronounciating, in Finnish we read everything as its written so for example fajita is pronounced the way it is in Finnish, becuase it's written with J, to have people pronounce it correctly, would only really be possible if the name was changed from fajita to fahita (as people are already used to pronounce it the way it currently is), this is true to all loan words really, like in English they pronounce lot of things differently from how they are written as well as Spanish, but in Finnish all words match their pronounciating exactly.. Though Sauna is also pronounced in wrong way in say English, when its loan word from Finnish, so it's not just Finns that do it to others..
I Do remember The Sydney 2000 Olympics - and when ARSI HARJU won a Gold Medal ! I dont know how that NAME is said in Spanish ? He surely is The Best Known Gold Medal Winner from Finland - that " kills " everybody who speaks Spanist to a Finn ! ARSI HARJU
you only mispronounce out of ignorance. once you know the right way, you follow the path. but its the first time i saw someone try to justify mispronunciation lol
3:31 the system wasn't designed this way, this Finnish duopoly (if you don't count Lidl) is just the end result of the good ol' capitalism. Finland did have many small private stores in the past and even had a 3rd market chain before German Lidl came to Finland called Suomen Lähikauppa Oy (so until mid 2010s we had 4 market chains) which had smaller stores called Siwa and Valintatalo and hypermarkets called Euromarket and even those were independent companies before Lähikauppa bought them in the 90s. Then Lähikauppa had financial difficulties and Kesko bought almost all the stores owned by Lähikauppa in mid 2010s but few of them went to S-Group due to antitrust laws. There still exists a store chain that consists of independent store owners called M-ketju (M Chain) which got its start when some store owners didn't want to sell their stores to S-Group when S-Group bought out Dutch Spar chain's Finnish stores in 2006. And after Kesko bought Lähikauppa Oy in mid 2010s, anti-Kesko store owners joined M-ketju :D
So I am living in Germany (but Finnish) and when I am comparing the price level wit Finland....there is big difference. Finland is simple too expensive! But also quality is good.
I’m thinking of doing a Q&A video next, any questions you would like me to answer? About Finland or those places visited or me, any questions are welcome 👍🏻
@@diego.suomessa Yeah the Fazer family immigrated to Finland through Germany some 150y ago, they adopted the Swedish language in Finland , though. Stockmann is the other well know Finnish family company who have roots in the German speaking Europe.
Diego, Thank you for the interesting grocery shopping trip. Was the total bill in Euros? Does Finland have anything similar to "Dollar" stores that we have in the U.S.? Those stores have small groceries whose prices can be lower than even Walmart. I believe Finland does not have Walmart. Thanks again.
Hello David, thank you! Well yes Finland uses the Euro, and no I haven’t seen in 5 years dollar types of stores, in general Finland is quite quite expensive
Don’t throw away those avocados ! The idea is one or two are ripe (or possibly none, often they are all raw) and rest will ripen within few days. You need patience, just leave them at room temperature and you’ll get perfect ripe avocados.
Me sorprende que te dejaran grabar de forma tan libre en el supermercado, porque normalmente no está permitido. En fin, interesante vídeo para la gente que no los conozca :)

Yeah, I thought that would be the other choise. It's just that in all the videos I have seen about foreigners being in Finland, I have never heard someone say that Finland is old fashioned in some way. So that peaked my interest. :) Also I want to mention your channel picture with the map because I noticed that. There are the places where you have been. Argentina, Venezuela, England, Australia and then Finland... which is in northern siberia at Novaya Zemlya. :D If you think that winters in Finland are dark and cold, just be happy that you didn't accidentally went there... ;)
I sent the wrong message! Is not that they go bad because I don’t have time to eat them, they just never become good, they go from green to bad directly 😣, and no I haven’t eaten viili
@@diego.suomessa ah yes that happened to me before when I bought them too raw (completely green and hard). You should try it 😁 the taste is fine but the consistency...

Your pumpkin is so amazing!
Creepy but wonderful @ the same time!
So creative of you!

Cuz Karl Fazer was born on Finland. Fazer products are definitely Finnish
There was no Finland when Karl was born. He was born in the eastern province of the Russian Empire. Fun fact.

I love this green candy fazer
I like it too
Prisma is actually S-market (chain).
The most traditional ruisleipä is the round bread with a hole in the middle.
Thanks for pronunciation tips.
And thanks for clarifying these things, I will mention that correction in future videos!
There are two s - in Finnish Äs - ja Es !
Totta 👌🏻
Almost like grocery store in America. Pumpkin is called jackolantern in America. We make it for 🎃 halloween night.

Hey thanks for the nice comprehensive reply!
So I am living in Germany (but Finnish) and when I am comparing the price level wit Finland....there is big difference. Finland is simple too expensive! But also quality is good.
And Germany is about 30% more than Poland. Quality here is great.
This is the best UA-cam channel
😁 that’s nice to hear
I’m thinking of doing a Q&A video next, any questions you would like me to answer? About Finland or those places visited or me, any questions are welcome 👍🏻
@@diego.suomessa yes - how did you end up living in Finland?? And how does it compare to the other places you’ve visited in your opinion
@@hanm8739 I´m already editing this Q&A video, there is an answer to some form of this question there , thaks!
I hope you baked the pumpkin seeds.
Should I have? I didn’t know!
Karl Fazer wasn´t Swedish, but Swiss.
Oh what? I didn’t know that one! So he wasn’t finnish or swedish , interesting...
He was Finnish and born in Finland but his parents were Swiss
Ok thanks for clarifying, seems his origins are very cloudy then 😄
@@diego.suomessa Yeah the Fazer family immigrated to Finland through Germany some 150y ago, they adopted the Swedish language in Finland , though. Stockmann is the other well know Finnish family company who have roots in the German speaking Europe.

It would be good to make a video about finnish baseball!
Music is too loud
Really? :( in what parts?
4:13 So what is the alternative...? :)
What do you mean?
You said that way of buying bananas is "old fashioned", so what way is not? :)
Oh! Ok! I understand now :) , the alternative is that the cashier weights it like in Lidl :)
