Some legend says that the vulgar names for places come from the times when Finland belong to Russia and the representers of the Tsar roamed around the the Finland to check up on their property. When asked what is the name of the place, Finns came up with the most taunting names just to screw around with the russians. Eventually the names stuck because they were written down on official papers.

4:15 for the record, suit = maa is only in the context of the suits of a card deck (Spades, clubs, hearts, diamonds). The kind of suit that you put on with a tie and all that is "puku."

This is the story I heard why some places are named that funny/gross way: Back in the day the Swedes ruled Finland, and they sent mappers over. Not everyone took kindly to this, and when they were asked the name of the place, they gave silly ass names to the mappers. And they stuck. I dunno, but it sounds like it could be true xD

This was so spot on and yes, we in Finland are almost living as before, with this covid-19, the social distancing comes naturally to some of us at least, but then there are still ppl that take it really hard actually and have problems with coping with it :(

There are places like "venäjä" (russia) and others oddly named places in Finland!

most of these place names in here are the result of cartographers (russian, swedish and during winterwar german) getting local guides... and when the guides didnt know/remember the places name, they told something sooo weird... (the #7 really is so naughty that even i blushed when i first learned of it)

the 1000 beer pack is probably on the Estonia-Finland or Sweden-Finland cruise or one of those... you know! the one where people drive a car in and order it to be filled with booze!

This is hilarious!

You should know that in Turku there is a place called 'Palli' and right next to it 'Pallivaha', translated as 'ball' (singular balls) and 'ball wax'. I've often wondered these place names myself, and I came to the conclusion that when the map names were stamped down, they likely were swedish academics (It took a long time and one Mikael Agricola to change, but for a long time Finnish Academic lingua was Swedish) going around asking people where they were and what was called what. Humorous Finns living a rough farming or logging or something life, far from the Lords making maps then had some fun.. ;-D And other thing is different accents, that can be like different languages when spoken, really old Saami-tribe words, etymology.. Oh, and there's a place called "Varkaus" or "Theft" too and many more..

Near where I live is Suolijärvi (bowel lake) which connects to suolioja (bowel brook) and in the other end is Paskosaari (shit island) . That's gross but kind of hilarious! Haven't ever seen 1000-packs of beer but there were 100-packs when it was Finland's 100th independence day. Even that was crazy I thought.

Kimi is such an honestly straight forward guy he has little tolerance for the buzz around them unrelated to the real F1 driving. People have been laughing at that so much.

in public sauna everybody talks only foreigners are shy and looking their toes, sitting lowest benches 🤣

4:30 When Finland was part of Sweden when they would come to ask us what is name of this place for maps we would just prank them

Kindly make a video on housing and supermarket in Finland Housing construction companies and grocery stores and pricing

I don’t currently live there, unfortunately! Although I wish I did. I do plan to do a price comparison video at some point where I can compare prices here in the USA vs Finland. Thanks for the suggestion ☺️

I actually live in one of those places :D

Haarukan Varsi Cool!! Luckyyyyy 😄😎

Your finnis skills are so good that i can under stand it well. 3:01 I’m from finland

The worst thing about social distancing is that you have be 2 metres away from other people. Normally we live at least 4 metres away so it is a big difference.

About social distancing, In finland there is a running joke about, well, now when social distancing one or two meters is over, can we go back to normal 5 meters at least?

4:30 I see that Finland and Estonia both have a habit of giving places weird names. Some Estonian examples (Most are village names): 1.Tapa (Kill!) 2. Külaküla (Villagevillage, so if you live there, you live in a village called Villagevillage) 3. Korjuse (Corpse) 4. Paganamaa (Pagan land or in context Devil/Demon land) 5. Põrgu (Hell) 6.Kanepi (Weed) 7. Tudulinna (Sleep town) 8. Soome (Finland, yes it's a village) 9. Läti (Latvia, again yes it's a village) 10. Saaremaa (Island land, not the Island Saaremaa, but it's a village near Russian and Latvian border, so it's very inland)

Haha Partial reason for weird Finnish places is that in 1700s when Swedish mappers were mapping Finnish region, they went in villages and asked from farmers "what is X place called?" Angry Finns hated Sweden and they came up with random and dirty/rude places. Sadly those mappers were legit and did not question it.

8:17 ”You sure about that?”

Noooo!!! I wish it were longer! ^^"

Haha, good to hear 🥰😎

That "maa" thing is not a meme, and it is a sorry attempt to make it one. Almost every word you take from a dictionary has plenty of different meanings. There are plenty of English (or Finnish) words that have dozens of meanings. And what's worse, in some of those cases you need to do real mental gymnastics to claim the word should be translated as "maa," for example area or terrain. You cannot translate world as maa, the planet's name is Maapallo with capital first letter, you could shorten it as Maa. Countryside you would never write as "maa" in Finnish, the word translates as maaseutu, but again you can use an abreviation, and only in inflected forms: maalla, maalle, maalta. Who ever did that should be ashamed.

Also dirt could be called maa but it’s usually called multa.
