- Reaction To Scandinavian Comedian on Finnish Language
This is my reaction to Scandinavian Comedian on Finnish Language
In this video I react to comedy about Finland from a comedian from Iceland (Ari Eldjárn) as he makes a funny comedy sketch about the Finnish language.
Original Video - • Icelandic standup abou...
Iceland and Finland are not really Scandinavians. We are just Nordic
Iceland is more scandinavian than finland.
yes but part of Finland is in The Scandinavian peninsula.
@@pasimarjanen4231yes, northern part. Capital of The Northern Scandinavia is in Finland (unofficial of course, Oulu) 😁
Who cares.. Denmark is not really Nordic as it's so south. Estonia is actually more Nordic.
FYI 3:40 Finland is Nordic country. Not part of Scandinavia, but very much part of Fennoscandia.
Also "Reaction to Scandinavian Comedian" is wrong. The comedian is Icelandic, so definitely not Scandinavian.
@@TuhannenTomppelithat's a very good point.
Mosquito is not makkarainen in Finnish. Mäkäräinen is that little fly like blood sucker, and mosquito is hyttynen.
Hyttynen and sääski are originally dialect versions from the eastern parts of Finland. In western dialects they call a mosquito as itikka. In Ostrobothnia they also call a cow as itikka. No kidding!

The thing about Danes is that it sounds like they have a potato in their throat.. I am Finnish and I feel unity with all the Nordic countries (have visited all of them). When I go to Sweden, it does not really feel like I am abroad (even though Swedish is not my mother tongue). I feel like people in the Nordics are like minded. We share the same values (Christian although people are not really religious). People are honest and trustworthy. We respect and appreciate nature. We value our personal space, mind our own business, don’t like people being loud usually. Of course we share history and many have relatives in other Nordic countries. Countries have good social welfare, everything just works like public transport and such.
"Rakastaa", the Finnish word for "to love", is an ancient borrowing from proto-Germanic "fragaz". It goes back to Indo-European root "preg-" which means "to desire". I'd guess that some 2000 years ago the Scandinavians understood what it meant.
Minä rakastan sinua is in Estonian: ma armastan sind. Armas is in Finnish a little bit old-fashioned way of saying rakas, my darling. So we are close with our southern neighbors.
The countries are Nordic.
But there is more to it than that: We can - if we want to manage in Danish. The point is that you never have to involve translators. And when our politicians talk seriously over a beer, trust me - nobody is finding out what they are talking about.
Finland here! And yes. We do feel connection with other nordic countries. We have same values and so on. But we do think that we are little more realistic towards world than other nordics. I think it's because of history. We have had most hardest history. And we have also most skills to laugh for ourselves as well. Maybe the same reason. Thats just my opinion.
Perhaps nordics are kinda extended family, we have our quarrels but when shit hits the ventilator we understand each other and stick together. At least that´s how I feel - finnish dude myself
From Sweden here, and I like to think that Finland is part of us all up in the north, one big happy family!
This Nordic connection is insane. We try to keep alive by planning, working with each other in a fair ground. Lot of care & respect for every Scandinavian (FIN,IS included).
and not forgetting country that speaks drunken Finnish, Estonia
We need to learn swerige here in Finland and it is possible to understand Norwegians (north-norvegians) and even Icelanders if they try to speak slowly. But Danish, no way. One Danish said that they do not understand themselves sometimes :D . I feel all nordic countries belong same family.
The Makarena one really got me :,D. It often pisses me off when Finnish youths swear because it's excessive, but when you do it at the right time (like scaring off a grizzly) it really works.
And the bug he's talking about is spelled mäkäräinen in Finnish but I don't blame him for not getting the ä-sound.
Other Nordic countries are like good neighbours to Finland. Not family, but still more trustworthy than others. Second place goes to Baltics.
and the best Swedish deterrent from Russia is... Finland
3:38,
Not only is there a feeling of connection being officially a Nordic country, there is a thing called Nordic Treaty.. a co-operation between the Nordic countries, that's kinda like EU but older.. allows free movement of people, taxation is made easier, education is more stramlined in Unis, also getting citizenship is easier for other nordic citizens who migrate.
I belong to the Swedish speaking minority in Finland and to me spoken Danish is basically impossible to understand. In general, I can understand Norwegian quite well, depending on the dialect of course, but from Danish I can just pick up maybe a word here and there. The funny thing is that written Danish is fairly easy to understand, but their pronunciation is so weird and hard to understand. I've even heard Danish comedians joke that the Danes don't even understand each other.
I dont really feel a kinship to Scandinavia (being Finnish). But "the Swedish cousin" or "ruotsinserkku" was a thing growing up.
My aunt lived in Sweden. We visited every summer. She worked in a chips factory, so we always got a box of chips to take home 😅
And I remember that one summer there was thousands and thousands of baby frogs, it was unbelievable.
To us Finns : Sweden is like a big brother to us (just 1 year older) with whom we like to compete (in sports etc.) - and Estonia is like a little brother to us (3 years younger). Norway is like the "nice neighbor boy" who we happen to know (not so well) and Danish is like the guy who is at the other school, but we still say hi to him when we meet. And Russia is the Bully.
I feel a strong connection to all scandinavian and nordic countries. I was born in Finland, my dad was swedish and my mom is finnish. I have always been a swedish citizen, not finnish, even though I have always lived in Finland. I love the relationship and connection with all these countries. They are like brothers and sisters who sometimes playingly tease each other but deep down we stand up for each other if needed. And I like this comedy act very much, it is so much fun. Watched the whole special on Netflix. 😊
Quite interesting that you haven't had dual citizenship. Almost everyone I know with similar background to yours - or ones that are born in Sweden to Finnish parents and then moved here in Finland have dual citizenship.
Would be really odd you living your whole life in Finland not having citizenship because it would make things much easier, not to mention it's based on mother's citizenship.
For me the only connection that really is there is Swedish... probably Norway for those who live in north but otherwise there really isn't much between Norwegians and Finns. To them Finland is pretty much unknown country and people.
@@duckeh1952 well that is how my parents wanted it when I was born. 🤷 And it's not so difficult, I just can't vote in precidential elections.
I have worked with Norwegians, Swedes and Danes...but not Icelandic people. This guy is correct in so many things.
As a Finn, I manage also swedish (both Finland and Sweden swedish with local accents exept Skåne), Danish with hot porrige in mouth with a slight german influence, Nynorsk (new Norwegian) with this happy-go-lucky upwards ending. But Finnish and Icelandic have some similarities... We have these dark ancient words. Like, if I have been robbed my handbag, drunk somewhere in a dark back ally in Reykjavik, calling "police" has no effect. I have to call LÖGREGLAN!❤😎
I lived my youth on the border of Northern Sweden and most of my mates moved to Sweden to work. Sweden is a lovely neighbor that is how I feel. Felt narural in Norway and Denmark, too. Spoke English.......
Hi there! You might keep funny the video called Andre Wikström's english stand-up in Iceland. Andre is Finnish comedian if you didn't know already.
I quess best way to say what "Finland" feels as one of the Nordics is that we are the calm and quiet mother who got married into royal family because of handsome king (Norway) lived near us and another option would have been tyrannical drunk neighbor. And only reason for the long distance romance with Norway is because there is a little bit special but lovable land mass between us thinking Finland is lesser than other Nordics but Finland don't mind it.
Yes, we Finns do feel connected to other Nordics. Culture and values have a lot of similarities, only some very exact things differ. I identify as a Finn and as a northern European first and foremost.
Hello from Finland! It's been nice to see you reaction videos, like this one! I hope you could at sometime react followings:
Johan Venninen True Grit parts I, II and III. Each have 2 parts (those should have English subtitles) - This shows true sisu at everyways life, great life attitude (no whining of things etc)
Also one more, bit different to react. In my opinion one of top Finnish youtubers, Ali Leiniö, check his channel and pick eather some of latest one, or for example one from last winter like "Hot tent, deer stew and a starry sky | -28°C" for example. And ye, also his videos should nowdays have english subtitles..
Yeah as a Finn, i surely do feel connected to other nordic countries. They are different, but we are together.
Finns like Swedes very much, but what comes to sports we are allowed to be "enemies".
I'm from eastern Finland and I don't feel kinship with scandinavian countries, but I feel much closer to Estonian and Karelia/Russian border people.
Moskito : Hyttinen no mäkäräinen.😂
5:45 In Estonia they say: Ma armasdan sind.
in Finnish häät (wedding) is estonian pulmab, which in finnish means problem.
Yep, they are frenemies ..................
Finland is not Scandinavian but is Nordic.
He said makkarainen but it's actually Mäkäräinen (Latin: Simuliidae)
But Makkarainen does mean "Sausage-a-like"
(P.S. As I read it, lög=law, reglan=regulator, keeper. " Easy beasy!)
Finland is part of Nordic countries, but not part of Scandinavia.
Scandinavia is Norway, Sweden plus Denmark
Iceland isnt part of scandinavia and neither is finland
pretty much true :D
Finland is nordic…
before european union there was a Kalmar Union.
3:35 no. you're wrong. finland is nordic, scandinavia is the one that we're not a part of.
finland is south american
Finland is Nordic country. Yes, I feel all Nordic countries are pretty much the same.
well that until it becomes in ice hockey...
and everything is fine so long as f***ing Gladstone Ganders (Sweden) doesn't win medal or higher medal than Finland. not much of problem if other nordic countries win
Mäkärä !
Finland is Nordic contry but not scandinavians
Finnish IS nordic...
This is trash. I miss the 90's and good drama movies. Greetings from Finland.
