Should Sweden And Finland Join NATO? 🇫🇮🇸🇪
ua-cam.com/video/oMlG809xqcQ/v-deo.html
A very good an unfamiliar question.
Nope i live in Sweden and we have already joined Nato and Finland.
@@Shrekgrabben I don't want Sweden to join Finland.
YES YES YES YES YES YES
I would die for Finland but never for the evil warmonger Nato.
"they speak funnily" she says that with the heaviest swedish accent there is :D
Finns are unkind, inconsiderate people and very unfriendly, but I still love them
Its a bit funny when one of the Swedish girls described Finns as 'reserved', when the fact is that Swedes themselves are very reserved as well. The two countries have more similarities than differences, in my opinion.
People Love to share other's attributes 😅
Swedes are usually reserved, while Finns are more shy, generally speaking. But it depends heavily on the sex, for some reason. Finnish men are often much more shy than finnish women.
Finns are definitively more straight forward and clear when communicating while Swedes have this “you ought know”-communication which gives Swedes lots of unspoken consensus. Foreigners don’t get this about Swedes every time it happens. I think this is one reason why Finns are understood as straight forward and honest. But then the Finns have silence as part of the communication. You give them a moment to think and continue the talk. This is quite significant for Finns while Swedes do talk much more. True that Finns are more shy.
I don't think Finns are shy. Finns just have a different idea of politeness and interacting with people, which comes off as being awkward with strangers because randomly chatting with a stranger isn't something that's normally done.
@@Silveirias i agree. I am Finnish, and i dont know many shy people. We just communicate differently.
"Finland is depressing because it's so grey and cold". Bitch, you live in the same climate next to us :D
I think this was filmed in Göteborg and the climate over there is not the same as in Finland. Not even the same as in southern or southwest of Finland.
Also most of the Swedes live in same latitude or lower than in Helsinki. So even if the country is in same latitudes, most of the people live in lower latitudes. 🙂
I live in Sweden on the exact same latitude as Helsinki and 90% of our population lives south of me so I’m kind of considered a northerner by ppl in the south.
I was thinking the same! And she called Finnish language ugly!! Have she ever listened to Finnish songs?! As one who newly started learning Finnish, I found it absolutely a nice language having it’s own unique structure and rythm! People talk shit about things they don’t even know about!

4:17 respect to this man, who knew NJET MOLOTOFF !! 🇫🇮❤️
Yup He seems to be an history student 😀
6:00 *in posh Swedish accent*: "They talk really funny"
Yeah, the feeling is mutual, with all due respect :-*
Posh or thick ? :D
was thinking about the same 💀
I am Finnish, and I think also that Sweden is some kind of "brother country" to us. Not a big brother anymore, just a brother. Our languages are different, but we are both Nordic democratic welfare states. Finland has been part of Sweden a long time ago. We have had memorable moments together in hockey. Btw, Sweden has many good metal bands too.
Which is your favourite? Mine is Draconian. Finntroll is my favourite Finnish one, but I guess that's cheating isn't it? :P
Semmoinen "veli", jonka 800 vuoden siirtomaa-aikana muun muassa säädettiin, että mikäli ei halunnut oppia ruotsia, oli talot poltttava ja on henkipatto jokaisen ruotsalaisen edessä.
Björn vain nauroi kun Tukholma-syndroomasta kärsivä suomalainen tai "erämaan pölkkypää, joka kaikessa kehityksessä on ruotsinkielistä jäljessä", kuten Freudenthal asian ilmaisi, on kuuliainen Ruotsin lihakilpenä ja joka kiittää ruotsalaisia kaikesta kyykytyksestä ja anoo lisää.

Finland's alcohol consumption is not as high as ppl think. Watch The video " Country alcohol consumption comparison."
The highest alcohol consumption countries are in Europe: The 1st Moldova, the 2 nd Lithuania, The 3rd Chechia and the 4th Germany.
Forinstance Russia, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, Poland, Luxemburg, Belarus, Cypros, Portugal, Serbia, Slovakia, France, Ireland, UK, Estonia etc. are ahead of Finland
Finland's alcohol consumption in Europe is in the middle even under. It has gone drasticly down in 10 years.
Finland is up there with these insane alcohol prices... imagine the potential if it didn't cost so much. There is a reason why we take a ship to Estonia and bring back the maximum amount of alcohol you're legally allowed to bring.
@Phuck UA-cam censorship Price of alcohol
Reason of it is at least partly because younger people drink less.
Unfortunately instead they use more snus and some try marijuana or other "mild" drugs, so that's the flip side of it.
@Phuck UA-cam censorship mostly weed. Younger generation opted for a healthier alternative, but it has downsides as well
@Phuck UA-cam censorship I would say big part of the high consumption was influence of alcohol addiction from the older generations who witnessed two wars in 20th century, the Civil War, which was exceptionally bloody and traumatizing, and The Second World War. Traumas are passed on generation to generation slowly fading when enough time has passed and now a significant amount of time has gone by since those days
Alcohol consumption in Finland and Sweden is almost the same according to latest research. Sometimes its feels that swedes’ image of finland is stuck somewhere in the 70’s. Swedes also tend to be very aggressive when drunk, I have proven that many times. I know alot of them.
Ps. When I have talked with my friends from sweden, they often mention the suicide rates in Finland. But the rates also are almost the same between us (not that high as people might think). I love Sweden but sometimes its annoying that they see themselves maybe a bit too civilized than they really are.
Btw that is called ”Seeing us more civilized- Syndrome”, common behavior in washed-up superpower countries. Same kind of behavior in Europe you can see in France and UK.
There might be some double standards in there too. Sweden has been so tolerant for decades for certain foreign ethnicities but still their image of neighbours is pretty backward.
Oh well, atleast bashing white, drunk neighbour is not racism 😄
Swedish are like snob version of finnish people. Finnish is more of a chill and easy going laid back people. Like more relaxed as you look basic clothing of people.
If you don't live in Stockholm or Gothenburg we are exactly the same. I love Finland and the finns (hockey excluded). I have lot's of finnish friends and I've been there many times. Skål och Kippis /Swede
@@SwedishPete As a Norwegian i have been been in partying in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Uppsala, Nykoping etc. Never seen much reserved Swedes.
My husband is Finnish..he can be reserved,very fair in judging,humble,smart ,and Finns stick to their word...Swedes also are beautiful ppl. I have seen much similarly in both countries..💙🤍🥰💗🇫🇮🇸🇪
For 700 years, Finland was the eastern half of Sweden, so we are very much alike. Finland is much like Sweden - but for grownups. Sweden is like the spoilt brat kid brother.
In my family, we had friends and relatives that went over to fight in 1940. I still remember how we fifty years later still lit candles in the window on December 6, Finland’s Independence Day, so the missing could find their way home.
I love this description. 😀 ❤️ 🇫🇮
kind words Per. much respect to those who came to defend Finland
But we must remember the fact that although Finland was part of Sweden, Finland and the Finns were mostly deprived of Sweden. The Finns were not part of Sweden of their own free will, but on the contrary forced, and those times were not necessarily good for the Finns at all, so I think being called a brother from swedes sounds bit strange. 5% of the Finnish people speak Swedish because of remnants of being under Swedish rule. The Finnish peoples have originally inhabited the northern and present-day territory of Russia. Estonians and other Finno-ucric peoples in Russia like Mari, Mansi, Karelians etc. are real brothers to Finns, even that how different our languages are already tells a lot about our roots.
But ofcourse it is nice that we have a suitable brotherly relationship with each other nowdays.
@@junantuoma7869 Finland was never a country before it was the eastern half of Sweden. So if was never occupied, there wasn’t Swedish rule since Finland wasn’t a country and was an the area equal half of Sweden, with the same rights and obligations. There was never a Finnish kingdom or a Finnish country in any form, it was just a collection of tribes, just like any country on earth before the central powers were formed and borders were first drawn. It used to be over 20% of Swedish population and swedes and other Scandinavian tribes had lived in the area of todays Finland for thousands of years. The coastland and the islands were dominantly Swedish speaking while the inland was Sami and Finns and the administrative language was Swedish. Even up until 40 years ago, every Finn had to learn Swedish in school and know Swedish to work in the public sector. Finnish nationalism has tried to change that since they needed to come together after the civil war (in which the Side led by the Swedish speaking Finns, the Whites won against the Russian supported Reds) that and with time the Swedish speaking population has diminished through mixing and through political measures. That’s why people like you are so negative and badly informed on your and our common history.

@@Lets-Walk-Around
Colossians 2:8
“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”
King James Version (KJV)
Galatians 6:7 | View whole chapter | See verse in context Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. We all should drop saying: OMG, even if it means OMGOOD. OMG = mocking GOD. Fear Him NOT mock HIM.
We don`t die - we just leaving earth, as saved souls - who go up into HEAVEN or as unsaved souls - who go down into torment.
Dear soul, read the bible - full of information and an introduction to who GOD is we should serve.
We, all - saved and unsaved will put on IMMORTALITY, so not a single part of us should perish, but be everlasting.
The torment that awaits for the unsaved: REGRETS, that do not get forgiven (feeling sorry so deeply that it hurts inside yet knowing the whole time (forever) that no forgiven is found for you any longer. Is that enough of the torment? - oh dear soul, no, you will be placed in the middle of a lake full of fire (not water) and you will burn and not dying, for even you, who stayed wicked sinner (unsaved soul) did put on immortality that even single part of you cannot perish, but be everlasting.
Now, tell me, is that not a torment?
We can have a piece of that torment even here, many of us have been felt sorry/regret of thing we have done- right? - now Imagen, not getting forgiven for rest of your days.
See, we are found already in torment, in a temporary torment.
In the lake of fire, THE TORMENT LAST FOREVER. DAY AND NIGHT WITHOUT ANY KIND OF REST. NO DAY(S) OFF.
Even if you have been there (in torment) already for millions and trillions of years, you`ll be there same long.
That`s the something, we are trying you all warn about. Instead of dying twice, you`ll choose LIFE. The life(promises) that GOD promise to give us , IF WE REPENT AND BORN AGAIN =GET SAVED.
“Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.”
Psalms 27:7 (KJV)
How to deal with BIBLE?
1.) read it from 1st page (1.testament) to the last page (2. testament) = getting to know the text that`s in the bible,
2.) Start to study the bible, why it is written the way it was and what kind of picture does it actually give us.
3.) While hunger for truth - one receives the COMFORTER - THE HOLY SPIRIT WHO WILL TEACH US AND BRING INTO OUR REMEMBRANCE ALL THING JESUS TOLD US.
4.) congratulations, you now also knowing and understanding the harsh truth like i do. aka the heavenly wisdom.

About Freemasons: they are like their father the devil:
John 8:44| View whole chapter |See verse in context Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
You still don't get it, do you? - THERE'S NO COUNTRIES ANYMORE. --They Live, the movie. “We know they are lying, they know they are lying, they know we know they are lying, we know they know we know they are lying, but they are still lying.” - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Freemason are also - like the devil and the fallens - our enemies unless they REPENT.
Freemasons are just puppets, who are made to believe the bizarrest lies. And the technology that they use is only a tool to turn their most insane thoughts into reality.
satan aka lucifer. Also known as baphomet, he is their master - the false god.
The only way to truly change the world is, to leave it behind, leave the cities and go to live into the forest. At least one`s world is changed - yours.
Monsters do exist, but not under our beds, they hide under holograms, pretending to be us - humans.
Know the differences there is: Agree. GOD and god - there is difference. 2 kingdoms: 1 is heavenly and lasting forever and 2nd is fallen and going to burn up.

Actually They said Nothing - about Finland ! You could Have said - just yhe same of any country - THEY never visited ! They were Polite - Not knowing - what to say ! Note # If This was Done at Stockholm - People would have Gone to details - Finnish candy - like salmiakki - 1995 Globen Ice Hockey - Winter 1939 - 60.000 Krigsbarn - 1952 Helsinki Olympics - Darude " run " as SANDSTORM on UA-cam - Formula One Drivers Miks & Kimi - ALL Time Matti Nykänen - LORDI 2006 - Helsinkis Sveaborg - NOKIA Phones - Mr President Niinistö - 350.000 Finlands Svenskar - Finnish Swedes etc etc ! - but If You had asked The NATIONAL SPORT of Finland - Nobody would have known ! This IS lacking of Swedish name to PESAPALLO !Annor bra - men i fel Stad !
Thank you i guess:D🇫🇮
Thanks! I appreciate when people said good things about Finland (specially swedish people) 😊🇫🇮
As a Finn, iv`e always like Swedish ppl and i consider them as brothers and sisters to the point if Sweden was ever to be attacked i would go there to fight for them and their freedom. Only time the love is forgotten is when we play against them in icehockey ;)
And we Swede also come and help you if fuc** bad Rus** comes. We are two Countrys that love each other!
@@bonez9160 We stand together brother!
We are brothers ❤
As a Finn, I have been living outside of Finland almost 20 years. And I think Finland is the best country! By far.
Education, health care, climate, etc. People are honest and real here.
I agree, but Corona has Ruined something's too, like in every country actually
Why & how Cant Other Nations - do like Finland has done ? All this happiness makes me wonder - why Other Countries are sofar behind on - The scale of happiness ?
Out of Curiosity where you live currently?
I am originally from Helsinki, as a teenager I went to high school parties in Stockholm quite a bit, later worked there a few years, never felt out of place.
This IS Göteborg - Not Stockholm !
If This was Done at Stockholm - People had known alot more at many levels ! As both Ferry Lines Viking and Silja takes 100.000 travellers to Stockholm - Every 365 Morning ! At Stor Stockholm - there are somany Finns working - so that Formula One Drivers Mika & Kimi - knows justabout everybody at heavy traffic ! Many had seen - The Movie UNKOWN SOLDIER - just had ITs 3rd - Filming and many say that They Cant wait till The 4th ! Like sauna - Swedes know - that Finns Go to sauna TWICE a Week - If Not More OFTEN ! Eating ärtsoppa och pankaka on thursdays - knows everybody... So a common Stockholmare has alot more detailed info - about Finland than Göteborgare ! There IS a Song - that says IT ALL - Somliga går med trasiga skor - He was was Stockholm too !
There is a joke in Finland, any time the weather or something hot (like in the summer) people call it "swedish sauna", or when your room temparature is up by some degrees.
🤣 what can i say. I love sauna but it has to be swedish tempratures. Not too hot, not too cold.
Nice to hear such postive comments about my country. We
Greetings from Finland to our western brothers and sisters 🇫🇮❤️🇸🇪
Love you Finland❤ Best neighbours
As a Finn, if there is one country we can trust in time of hardship, then it is Sweden. They showed it during world war 2 and we wont forget that. Heja Sverige! ♥️
Yesss thats true im finn too

@@holoholopainen1627 i know of and have seen plenty of Renny Harlin movies of course, but i don't think i've seen anything by the others, why? is is something in particular that you can recommend?
@@zymeon Renny Harlin IS The Best known - as after Born American - He moved to Hollywood ! #2 Timo Koivusalo has Filmed Irwin Goodman and Jean Sibelius - movies of The two GREATS ! #3 Then there IS a Mr SIILI Filmed a Movie called SEL8ANNE - The Life of Teemu Selanne ( Rookie season 76 Goals ) ! #4 Aleksi Mäkelä filmed Movie MATTI - of ALL TIME ski jumper - MATTI NYKÄNEN - How He lived His Life before Sarajevo Games and after Calgary 1988 Olympics - and started to entertain People by singing ! #5 Tom of Finland - How He made IT to Hollywood - and turned to a LEGEND !

@@shijutu really? Shouldn't it be quite obvious? I mean you're part of a minority called "Finn-swede"
In Finland, we have a lot of jokes about how dumb Swedish people are. If you buy a "joke book" from a store, they always have an entire category of jokes just about Swedish people. But we still love you guys! It's like the rivalry between brothers.
Same Here In Sweden People Like to make Light jokes about Norwegians and Finnish People 😅
But Great thing is all the Scandinavians have Great Love and respect for eachother overall 😍😊
@@Lets-Walk-Around Indeed. We tell teasing and stereotypicized jokes about each other, give no mercy in ice hockey tournaments and nordic skiing competitions etc. Still, we are brothers and sisters and feel togetherness with each other.
This is based very much on our common history. Our borders were open to each other already over half a millennia ago (just drive over the border without stopping, no passport questioned). This is Nordic way of freedom and model for everybody of how you can live in peace and prosperity with your good trustworthy neighbours.
@@amanhasnoname3462 Thank God - The Swedes are TODAY driving cars on The same side of The ROAD ! I Cant remember The Year / Date - When They switched - from The UK side - to Central European side !
I agree on that. It's like bickering amongst siblings. We tease each other for sure, but in at the end of the day we also love each other.
I 've got to know two finnish people well (boyfriend and housemate) I found them great, the humour and open mindedness especially.
Thanks to swedish for the feedback I loved it!
Finnish Metal Music is the best in the world!!🤘
if u like Finnish metal listen to M.O.E. OG Ulla-Maija
As a Finn I must admit that we don't have bands comparable to e.g. Scar Symmetry or Soilwork. If you count Solution. 45 Finnish, that comes very close to their style/level, but in that type of metal Sweden is the best in the world IMHO: especially the level of songwriting is top-notch there. We also lack male vocalists capable of doing what f.ex. Älvestam and Strid can do. On the other hand, there aren't many in the world who can beat Noora Louhimo or Tuomas Holopainen in what they do, so it is of course always a matter of one's taste.
more people need to know about this channel. i'm lucky it was recommended to me
How Much Do You know about Finland ? Here some Q - IS #1 Finland a Kingdom or Republic ? #2 WHO IS The Head of STATE ? #3 How many official languages ? #4 What IS Finlands NATIONAL Sport ? #5 How many Finns Are there ? #6 What used to Be The Capital City #7 Your own Q - If You never Been to Finland - watch DARUDES RUN - as SANDSTORM at DOWNTOWN Helsinki - to see How IT looks !

I love my "Finska" neighbours
hard working people. They always had
an effective army that i or we are little
jealous at🙂😉
I'm pretty surprised how Swedes were talking good about Finland and Finns (always thought that they are bit cold towards Finns/Finland). It's true that Finland was a part of Sweden long ago and, many Finns also think Sweden as their brother/sister country, but "Finland is Finland so let us be Finns"...
You see, we love finland. FInland is a very nice country and I would really like to visit one day. Whenever I watch these videos of people going around in like stockholm asking people what they think of finland and the swedes just say some mean shit I get kind of mad because they give the rest of the swedes a bad name
Did we watch the same video? I missed the "nice"
Nice video. Finns and Swedes are like brothers until they play each other in ice hockey!
Its a bit sad that swedish people dont know almost anything of Finland
What Should They know ? Howmuch You know of Sweden ?
Must be the language and distance. Swedish people know a lot about Norway, and same for Norway.
Norway and Sweden is like one country as borders is fully open. Driving to Sweden is just like driving to next town in Norway.
@@V3ntilator I don't know how much it could be a language thing. There's a significant Swedish speaking minority in Finland. Also Finland has quite a few newspapers, TV channels etc. in Swedish (for example Hufvudstadsbladet). What's stopping Swedes to getting informed there about Finland?
Some 700 years of intertwined history so yes, very sad.
The Swedish education system plus the medias that don't produce much in the subject is at fault. So many Swedes don't even know anything about all things that Sweden and Finland share. It is actually very embarrassing, or should be. But people take pride in being dumb nowadays.
@@V3ntilator There are One milloin - that speaks both languages ! 350.000 in Finland - 500.000 with Kids in Sweden !
Swedish people are good neighbors, brothers even, in many ways the closest people to us Finns
((alongside with Estonians and Finnic peoples in Russia))
even if Swedes themselves probably feel much closer to their neighboring Scandinavians.
Swedes are easy to be with; open, kind, polite, "normal" in an easy-to-approach way,
they're also really good looking,
innovative and successful in every imaginable way from industry to entrepreneurship, from high tech to all sports and pop culture. Really exceptional.
Swedish people are less interested in Finland than the other way around. Guess we in Finland have always looked up to Sweden, which has also been a link to the Western culture for Finns,
where as to Sweden, Finland is more just like a neighboring region, even a buffer zone, with "slightly off" but ok, people and culture I guess.
Finnish people are a little weird but I feel like there's something valuable in our way of being as well: in the kindness, trustworthiness and overall good will of Finns, even if it's sometimes maybe a bit clumsy seen from foreign perspective.
-----
Hopefully things in the North stay well and calm, that we remember to value and preserve the good qualities that have brought us this far.
I am Swedish. We love Finland more and more.. Culturally Sweden is 0% influenced by Russia while Finland needs to cut some ties to that terrible state so that's one difference. Finland has a better educational system and is more rational overall. Brother or sister countries and soon we will both be in NATO. I would rather fight for Finland than for any other country. Best country in the world I would say.
Except the migrants.
I would say they compete really deeply in Ice Hockey. On the ice field they are enemys, but outside very good friends.
Prefer Finnish mentality to Swedish mentality!! Thank You ❤️
Well I worked for Nokia for a number of years, back in the good old days...but anyway, I spent a lot of time in Finland. I even ended up in hospital once and it was about as good an experience as it can be. I really like how conversations tend to be to the point, the concentration on doing things the right way first time and quality. Strange for me was that you can have periods of silence in a work meeting and no one thinks it's unusual. It's actually really nice that it gives you time to think. I remember once when I was trying to work out which tram to get in Helsinki and a nice lady came to help me without being asked, and this willingness to help seems quite common in Finland. Alcohol is so expensive though...I don't know how they manage to drink so much (tip: they don't. At least not as much as everyone else thinks).
Interesting comments, mainly positive, I'm pleasantly surprised 😄 Some of the views of us are in my opinion a bit old-fashioned though, like the ones about us being crazy, drinking insane amounts and fighting a lot. I admit that may have been the case earlier, but Finland is changing quickly, the old ways of drinking and fighting are disappearing (or atleast a large percentage do not act like that anymore). Of course, I'm from the capital region in the South, so it's possible that certain others parts of the country would not agree with these views 😅 Ps. That one guy said that Finland is "part Swedish", not "part of Sweden", which the presenter had written out. Big difference 😄
They said - what They Could Have Said of any Country ! They Have no knowledge of Finland - Thanks to The Language barrier ! They still think that Finland IS Part of Sweden - at The era of - No TV or RADIO ! Thank God - There IS UA-cam to watch !
It’s a nice video, great work! However, at times, it’s a bit hard to hear what they’re saying, I don’t think the background music is the problem, it’s nice to have it, but the people should probably have a mic closer to their mouths … especially if it’s people who talk with a soft voice, like a few people in the beginning. Just some idea for you. The videos are so nice that it would be nice to really hear what they’re saying. 😊
Thank You So Much David. I really Appreciate the way you have shared your suggestion. I'd surely Consider it and Follow it as you mentioned.
Love to see such Nice People bringing value för creaters.

@@holoholopainen1627 of course. It should be so. Swedish is Finlands 2nd language.
@@puhistagram 😂 Research the topic, please. This is because Sweden's colonial history. It is always like that in similar settings.

Oh please....repost this without the foreground music! I cannot hear clearly what people are saying....
Gotta respect our brothers for keeping us safe in the past but I believe the roles have changed🇫🇮🇸🇪
Being half finnish was such a flex growing up. I was born 2001 and had a friend born 2000 who was half finish.
I live in Suomi, but Denmark People are really nice. 👍
Cool video, but get a better mic and use some compression and limiters for the voices! :)
Asking Finnish people what they think about Sweden and their language would be fun to see.
The language would be absolutely trashed because we have to learn it at school even when only 5% of people speak it natively.
@@shiehuapiaopiao Funny thing is people say Finnish should know swedish, but could say like 0,01% of swedish talk Finnish that live in Sweden
@@Tepi1337 What happened to 500.000 Finns that moved to Sweden ? Are They Bi lingual - or like The English in Finland that just say - I Dont speak in Finland !

"They are like tamed wild animals" I like that, what a cool description! :D
Yessss, he got it right! 😅
What if someone said this of... let's say, Africans? Or Asians? Anyone who is not white. Then no one would think it's cool but apparently it's ok to say stuff like that about Finns :(
The truth is, there was a time when Swedes (and others) DID see non-Germanic Finns as primitive and less evolved. Comments like this are echoes from those times. I honestly wish we would just stop hearing them.
@@northstar2621 I don't like bringing the whole "oh asians and africans are cared for but not the poor whites" into this. I do agree tho that that comment wasn't right and definitely comes from the past. Someone did also say something about finns being crazy and another brought up the fighting thing. Clearly the type of stereotypes that swedes used against finns to justify the invasion and poor treatment still carry to this day.
@@ellem8990 I didn't mean it as some "whites are not cared about" thing. Swedes are generally pretty careful to not make stupid stereotypical/racist comments about foreign people and are very vocal about equality issues and their stance against racism, so it just annoys me that they really don't often seem to care to have the same level of consideration when it comes to Finns, or sometimes Estonians, or Russians etc. Why? I don't know, I've been told it's not the same thing since they don't classify it as racism due to similar skin colour. Which just seems sad
@@northstar2621 I do think it is a bit different. Finnish people have been "upgraded to the white race" (for the record I don't think race is a real thing), but asians and africans or anyone too dark is still outside and will be. The concept of race was created specifically to justify the slave trade of africans and what they were doing in asia/Australia and the americas. Eventhough these ideas towards finns stem from racism because finns weren't considered part of the same group, it's now different so people see it as less harmful. To some extent they are right, but they should aknowledge the history behind those stereotypes and that they ARE stereotypes and not true.
The thing about Finnish sauna being too hot for Swedish people is true. Swedish people seem to think that proper sauna temperature is 40-50 °C, but Finns think that minimum temperature is about 60 °C and public saunas are often set to 80 °C.
Imagine being in a 50 °C sauna. That's way too cold.
@@ducksareurlords3782 I totally agree. A 50 °C sauna would be just irritating. Too hot to just spend time, too cold to really use as sauna.
I am Swedish and I always set the temperature to 80℃, Finns (at least when I was younger) seem to like to set the temperature to 120℃ when they hear a Swede.
@@reineh3477 80 °C is totally fine as long as you also have enough moisture. Make it 80 °C and 90% RH and it's more than fine.
I like Sweden and all (my brother-in-law's Swedish), but two things will never cease to bother me. 1.) Swedes know next to NOTHING about Finland. We're not Togo, we're a neighboring country! Yet they always say it's cold here (like Sweden's in the equator), knives, everybody speaks Russian, everybody's drunk etc. 2.) Swedes think Finland's stuck in the 60s. It's annoying to see Swedish people in Helsinki surprised by the skyscrapers, modern cars, the subway, the immigrants, the international businesses etc.
IT seems that from Sweden to Finland IS somehow longer Way - that from Helsinki to Stockholm ? Atleast Finland IS One hour ahead of Sweden - Thank God
There are no skyscrapers in Finland.
@@Mustanaamio7 Uh, check Kalasatama in Helsinki.
And the international definition of a skyscraper is not 150m. Some set it at 100m, some at 120m, some at 130m.
@@Mustanaamio7 Umm yes there is, i see one from my window 😂
the music drowns out the voices at times
Times has shifted, not so long ago like in 90's swedish didnt like finns alot and swedes thought they were bit better. anyway i've liked sweden and its easiest foreign country to relate to. finland reserved and straight forward kinda compared to swedish more open and playfull people i think family life is better in sweden. one thing has to be said that sweden is surrounded by friendly allies unlike finland has allways prepairing for worst and therefore it affects even invidual level. allmost all of us has grown up listening our granparent war stories and distrust
In Stockholm they still think negative about finns.
@@Juutube989 stockholmers thinks bad anyone outside stockholm xD i am from the north of sweden, they problly have the same sterotypes of me same as the finns ;D
Sweden's dislike of Finns goes back hundreds of years. They used to think of Finns as inferior in many ways, linguistically, culturally and genetically. Even conducted eugenics and stole Finnish skulls to study to prove their inferiority. Glad things seem to be different today.
Nice content, but please next time mix the audio better. Now the speech was often inaudible. If you really have to have muzak, make sure to use proper audio processing.
Thank You For sharing it in so detail. I really appoligies for that sound. In future videos I'll surely fix it and will make a smooth hearing for my valueable audience like you.
Thank You once again for suggestion.
Finnish metal is their greatest export .
Swedes are nice people too😊! Thanks to who is Swedish I really like Sweden too! And why did the swedes said we are angry and crazy people but we are really kind and nice ;-;
Respect for the few who actually knew of Finland.. Lol meaning something about Finland.. of course.
What did They know ? Capital City - The President - Our NATIONAL Sport - Value of money - Helsinki 1952 Olympics ?
You don't really feel much of a difference between Fin and Swe except the language, been in Swe for 15 times.
Nice ! You dindt mention The origin of Your answer !
"They think that we swedes are like cowards." Yep, that sums up the Finnish mindset. There usually is a whole section just for jokes about Sweden in every joke book.
bruhv some of the swedish think that we finns live in the 1950's
Haha What made you feel like that? 😄
Swedes know nothing about finland apparently
According to a poll before the whole Russia debacle Finland was the only country that a majority of Swedes where willing to go to war for. Its likely increased since.
Hello Sweden👍🏻
I love Finland and Sanna Marin!

Please, put some effort on the sound quality. Even though it was an intresting subject I couldn't watch this trough because of the music in the backround messing up with poor talking voices. Maybe some directional microphone and try to find music which is better for talking tones (not messing it up. Sorry, just trying to help.

Not the "Njet Molotoff" :'D
Its so nice to listen other people talking good about ur couyntry.
I love Finns, even married to one (well, she's half Finnish). Their language is a little too harsh for my liking though. And those Finns that are born using Swedish as their mother tongue often speak very slowly compared to us "stockholmers".
Yes, there are different dialects of Swedish other than the one of Stockholm. I adore the one from Värmland, so cozy. Oh and the Göteborg one too, cute.
@@captainbarbosa6567 Värmländska is cute, but Göteborgska sounds pretty arrogant and aggressive, The typical old communist (VPK, KPML:r) accent in this country. And there are at least a dozen sociolects of standard Uppsvenska (Uppländska, Sörmländska) as well. Being born in Uppsala, I'm fluent in at least 3-4 of them ;)
Where IS This from ? IT didn't Look like Stockholm - as at Stockholm Everybody knows a Finn !
@@holoholopainen1627 Looks like Göteborg.
@@herrbonk3635 IT IS GREAT to hear - that Native speakers Can pick Up The dialekt - I Thought that They were just mumbling nervous - Thanks to that someone IS asking a Diffycult question like this - to an World Wide Web - audience ! - but If this was made at Stockholm - Where Everybody has worked with Finns - The answers would have been more - of The Famous People that They know of - rather than 700 Year HISTORY ! All Time Matti Nykänen - Sauli Niinistö - Jean Sibelius - Albert Edelfelt - Teemu Selanne - Paavo Nurmi type !
I've seen it mentioned before that Finns keep comparing Finland to Sweden all the time and are extremely happy if Finland beats Sweden in anything positive. However, if you interview people in Sweden, like in this video, an average Swede doesn't pay any attention whatsoever to Finnish things and only knows a bunch of very common things about Finland, such as the language not being Scandinavian and that there are a lot of saunas.
But then again, maybe I also didn't know that much back when I was in my 20's. Interviewing people in their 30's and 40's could be more enlightening. Unfortunately people much older than that could have a bit lacking active English vocabulary, unless they have a suitable international background.
@@ebsku i feel like we are just insecure about sweden being better at more things than finland. We should just focus on our own thing, like getting a 10 year sweep of being the happiest country :D
Well I think it's pretty logical. Finns have two neighbouring countries they share properly boarder (With Norway there is boarder only in areas with not much people). We don't want to compare ourselves to Russia, so Sweden it is. In Swedens perspective they have Finland, Norway and Denmark as neighbouring countries. They see Finland as the weird country and gravitate towards the ones that have similar language and stuff. So they compare themselves more to the Norway and Denmark. 🙂
Finns don't think about Sweden a lot normally. Now of course it is more important but in normal times.. they just are there, being Sweden. Of course for a smaller country and one that was once part of Sweden it is national pride to win Sweden in everything but it is nothing else but a sentiment, we don't really try to be better just because, we want to be better as a country. Except icehockey. There is matters, a LOT.
Den glider in, den glider in. Den glider in i mål igen...
hehe..
Thats true. Which makes sense beacuse Finland has a history of being ruled by Sweden and swedes… youre also a bilingual country, obligatory swedish classes etc… So Swedish (Sweden) in a way appears in your everyday life all of the time. Sweden is the biggest country of the nordic countries… If you take Russia for example… many other slavic countries like Serbia for example look up to Russia and view them as their brother where as Russia dont. I dont know but i get a similar vibe from Finland and Norway towards Sweden. And also Sweden is pretty diverse. Like where i come from and some places in the north where there is a bigger finnish minority it might be abit different, but many places dont come into contact with finnish barely anything. But then again this should be obvious since finnish is viewed as very foreign in Sweden and swedish is quite common and ordinary in Finland. Swedish has a pretty strong connection to Finland where as Finnish has pretty weak connection to Sweden. Also make sense that Finland sees Sweden as a big brother and has a competitive nature towards us since you got ruled by us for such a long time.
@@MigthyDucksz24 Finland wasn't ruled by Sweden. Finland was a part of Sweden. What is now called Finland developed slowly during those centuries. Before the Swedes came, Finland was only the south-western corner of the modern Finland. The other places were something else, like Savonia, Tavastia, Karelia, etc, populated by corresponding Finnic tribes. Over time Finland started to refer to the whole place. When the East Sweden, or in other words Finland, was lost to the Russian Empire in 1809, the Grand Duchy of Finland started to develop a real national identity because Finns didn't want to be Russians.
What Finns think of Sweden today is far too big of a topic to address here.
❤️
Do finish care?
Go ask Finns that question about Sweden! 😄 Please!
Wow I’m very impressed with people from Sweden they seem very smart The Boys and Girls are very Beautiful but also the speak English very well. I enjoyed watching this Episode and as mutter of fact they are very phoned of Finland sister brother Country
God bless beautiful people of this world unlike other Country’s who victims their Neighbouring Sister Countries
Even speaking English hasnt made for Them - any easier to Find Out about Finland ? If You Ask - like what IS The NATIONAL Sport of Finland ? Many has NO idea - that We Have President - elected by People every six years ! What Are The BIGGEST Cities of Finland ? What Time Do We use here ?
this is not their real opinions, they were obviously held at gunpoint
...so far from Cairo, so far from Japan. Finland is where I want to be...
People talk so quietly... then WHY this music to mix it????????
Finlandia, Finlandia, sinne taas matkalla oli Ivana 💪🇫🇮 very good 👏
Swedes are more social??
About the Finnish language?
One word: Impossible
Höpö.höpö.se on ihan helppoa.😁
I believe swedes have come to respect Finland's defense forces a great deal. We were taught that russia can only be stopped by sweden's own defense industry alone but that is rapidly changing. Finland's acquisition of American fighters and korean artillery shows finland is going the "Polish way".
This is new?
🇪🇨🌈🌞🙏💐Viva Ecuador!!!
"I don't think about them a lot" lol
There is 188,000 lakes in finland, about
I love beautiful Finland .... aka SUOMI 🇫🇮💙🇫🇮
Akaa is a town in suomi
From these videos it's always super obvious that Swedes don't actually know much at all about Finland, I mean most of them, and even if they know something, then probably still won't visit.
I find this a bit odd, I mean we're right here, isn't anyone curious?
I'm always intriqued by all the countries we're close to, just because it's fun to see what's the same and what's different when you live close by.
Only Russia I have never visited, but I've been to all of Scandinavia and all of the Baltics. Russia would also be nice to visit, at least St. Petersburg, but that would require a change of regime and politics in Russia, so probably won't happen any time soon.
Ask them about the Finnish Swedes. Thats an interesting story.
350.000 Finnish Swedes - speak Swedish Every Day !
I'm surprised that many of them don't know much about Finland being just next to them. I mean, I know a lot about the countries that limit with Argentina(where I'm from) . Also I know many more things about Finland than them
Ugly language and depressing, grey and cold? Can't say about the language but Finland is much the same as Sweden really. I have relatives in Sweden and I've been there many times =D
Ugly Language - What Are You talking about ? What IS Your 1st Language - and IS IT any less UGLY ?
I asked once how finnish sounds to a swedish. She said it sounds like babies try to speak! Lol
That IS GREAT ! Do You know How many Finns has learned Svenska - and know IT by now ? Alla tiders - Svar - nästan som Matti Nykänen var - Alla tiders backhoppare !
LOL! :DD
Good takeaways from this video & comments:
"tamed wild animals" and " babies trying go speak".
I will treasure these depictions and carry them proudly for the rest of my days. 😆
I was thinking of how to explain the rivalry between Finland and Sweden and here's what I came up with. Let's say that Swedes would in average be taller than Finns. However, if the tallest man of Finland was taller than the tallest man in Sweden, Finns would declare themselves the winner. Meanwhile, Sweden would not care or even know about this competition.
6:27 at least we are tamed :D I see Sweden as a brother country. You can joke about them and you can laugh at them, but when things get serious, they are our closest allies.
🇸🇪🤝🇫🇮
Atleast many of them gor right that we Finns are crazy
Jag och mina syskon blev kallade för finnjavlar i skolan på 70 talet..
Second generation immigrants would get beaten up in schools for speaking Finnish in the 1990s
Finland and Sweden always gonna stand close to either. So is it!
Average people have no clue. Lets finnish this topic.🤣🤣🤣
You need to balance out the volume of the video
