The best thing about subtitles is that you still hear the original language of the original actors. It doesn't even matter if you understand the language or not, all languages sound interesting and beautiful in their own ways. In a good production, the actors are professionals and thus their voices are definitely a big part of their acting as well. If you simply dub over it, you lose half of the original work not only the actors put in but also what the director of the movie wanted. Not to mention, if a movie is located in ancient China, it most certainly is a more wholesome experience if the characters are speaking in Chinese, not in some other, totally random language. I don't really need subtitles with English language titles, but I'm happy I could grow up listening to Arnold Schwarzenegger, James Earl Jones, or Christopher Lee sound like they should sound, not like some random dude dubbing over their voices.

Im a finnish 17 year old person who is finnish and has moved to china. My mom moved to china for work and because im not an addult I had to follow. There are good things in china for sure like the food and almost everything being cheep but this country has a lot of problems compared to finland. Being away from finland has taught me to love my country even more and not a day goes by i dont think about home. I just cant wait to get back.

​@@user-io5qu1go8m if you look up, there is probably many different childrens books in Finnish from some websites, but keep in mind Finnish is incredibly hard, so try to find a teacher for yourself it's very important, you can also replace words in Finnish when you're talking or you can take stick notes and put them around your house and write the Finnish word on the note and stick it to an item, that helps you remember certain objects! I wish you best of luck

Subtitles on everything is one of the reasons why Finnish people are usually quite good at languages. It helps to learn the language, and also when you have subtitles you know how different words are written etc. Also, the number 1 reason people move to Finland from abroad is actually love. Most people with foreign background moved here due to having a Finnish spouse, and obviously Finland is extremely supportive of families with children so it's just a no-brainer for those couples to raise their kids in Finland (I mean, the state pays you monthly for each kid until they reach the age of 18 so why would you raise them elsewhere). :)

The subtitles are one the reasons English is so good and widespread in Finland. They are there on every English-language show and they help the learning process immensely. It was a very wise decision to use them instead of dubbing (like in France and Germany). But you can turn them off in the TV settings. A little more difficult than Netflix and HBO, but still possible.

I can relate to your comment about Fiskars scissors. They are the best in the world and that's it. I bought a pair of German-made scissors some three years ago. I thought that Germans use to make quality stuff, so why not. That was a mistake - they are in the trash, while the 20-plus year-old Fiskars equivalent is just still going strong. They have never been sharpened since purchase.

Being in the same boat as you (Married 5 years this August to a Finnish girl) I can say it's changed me for the better. We're actually moving to Finland later this year in pursuit of a better quality of life. I'm also learning Finnish as my wife's grandparents and her Father don't speak English and I want to be able to talk with them. TBH I can't wait to get there!

The 24th is for dinner with one part of the family + presents, the 25th is for dinner with the other part of the family, mothers and fathers side practically

I recently married a Finn, and the subtitles thing is spot-on! I, too, feel like I won the lottery because my husband is fantastic.

There is also a legendary company called Savotta which makes really high quality backbags. Finnish defence forces uses Savotta backbags and they are really well made!

I enjoy my trips to abroad but everytime I get home to Finland I enjoy the little things, like having a shower and getting a constant flow of water which stays at same temperature all the time and the quiet and soundproof home and also even temperature in home even if there is -30C outiside, the forests, lakes etc.. also the relatively good hygiene even in gas station toilets (which tends to be cleaner than many toilets in malls BTW)

I am originally from the USA and moved to Finland at the end of 2007 when I met a Finnish woman. I was 19 at the time. All the things you said I have also experienced while living here. Unfortunately though my wife and I separated back in October and then filed for Divorce in November because she didn't want to be together and my and had been cheating on me for some time. (I found out in November). Planning to stay here as I have a permanent residence visa and plan on apply for my Citizenship this year.

For all that you said here - I love you, man. I love the fact that you really have been putting in the rather ungrateful effort of learning a (by any purely rational standard) rather insignificant and needlessly complicated language. Thank you for helping the small and quirky Finnish language to live on, flourish, and cross cultural barriers! It's also fascinating that you already have noticed how many creative and playful options language such as this one can offer, once you get the hang of it. This opens quite a few weirdest of wormholes that let you truly express yourself "in your own words", for real... Hyvää työtä, veliseni.

Great video Dave, I can relate to pretty much everything you mention. Regarding a good comparison with the UK, how come the weather is much colder, yet I feel warmer? Could it be better insulation and affordable heating?

Concerning Fiskars and Finnish pride of things well made... I was on an open university course with a lady that had seen the Shining in the movie theatres when it first came out. She told us that when she had been at the showing, at the part where Nicholson puts the axe through the door, some dude behind her had stood up and yelled "Fiskars, kirveiden kuningas!" (Fiskars, the king of axes). Ever since then, whenever I see a Fiskars axe, that's all I can think about. And to be fair, most summer cottages in Finland probably have one for chopping firewood... and most of them will be decades old.

I also swear in Finnish without being Finnish nor living in Finland. The words just sound nicer than the words we have here in the Netherlands. And of course still nobody know what I'm saying. That's mostly why I do it. I hope I can move to Finland someday, this country is getting overful and I don't want to know how it will look like in the future. I'm already learning the language bit by bit. Small steps like figuring out that "with the train" is just: juna+lla= junalla. And the first thing you said in this video I fully understood. Hopefully I will be able to learn some more things about Finland on your channel. Kiitos!

Loved the video!! Hyvä Suomi! 😁💪🏽

Your pronouncing is really good, but i think that the common mistake with foreigners speaking finnish (especially people whose motherlanguage is english) is that they tend to "prolong" words and certain letters, like when you're saying "perkele", you say it like "pherkhele". Finnish language is as "blunt" as it gets :). We literally say the words exactly the same way as we write them, so if you learn to pronounce every letter, you'll speak perfect finnish in no time when you're reading something. But your finnish is already so good that there's no point in worrying about it because everyone can understand what you're saying, and trust me not everyone can do it ;D. It's a bit off topic but: If you wanted a finnish person (who doesn't speak english) to read your name and pronounce it right you'd write your name "Deiv Khäd" ^^

What's crazy about subtitles, is that at 1:42 I genuinely thought I heard the show for a good second. They're so engraved into one's brain it's scary

I'm a finn and I also have english subtitles on for everything I watch. Sometimes the voice is muffled or I just missed something or it's a fantasy/scifi movie and I have no idea how someone's name is written. I mostly ignore them but they are nice to have.

As a Canadian who married a Finn (in Finland) and lived there for several years, I gotta agree, it's unavoidable, we're going back there someday. Totally understand what you mean by "I don't feel like I can't defend it much", same feelings about Canada.

Welcome back when that day, inevitably, comes :D

Very relatable! 👍🏼

We first (with my british husband) moved to UK, then to Finland, then to UK again for a little while, then Finland again and then finally to UK. We are staying here, no way i'm doing any moving anymore 😂

Some channels have burned-in subtitles, some send them separately and can be toggled. At least YLE tends to have toggleable subtitles.

Yes another video!!😎

I was literally drinking some Finnish water from that Aino Aalto glass when you started to talk about how everything (especially cups and mugs) have to be Finnish and I couldn't agree more 😂😂 I just started to laugh when I opened the cupboard and saw all those mugs and plates I already own as a 19-year-old young girl 😂😂💙
