This is a typical joke Swedes tell about Finns: Two Finnish men sit down to drink together. The alcohol flows for hours and hours. Towards the end of the night one of them raises his glass to his friend and says: "Kippis!" (meaning cheers!) The other one looks up from his glass, well annoyed. "Did we come here to drink or talk?"

The funny thing is, Finnswedes often sound similar to Icelanders phonetically as opposed to Swedish they speak in Sweden. I've been watching Icelandic series recently and being a Finnswede I found it shocking how similar the phonetics are, it's especially similar to the Ostrabothnia Swedish. Live and learn.

That Danish accent tho

As a Dane, I have to admit, I am wildly impressed by your danish accented english... XD It is true, that us Danes are incredibly proud of our english, and a lot of us think we don't have a noticeable accent.... It is also true that a Dane can hear even the slightest hint of Denmark in an accent, no matter where you are in the world... XD I found a danish exchange student in a supermarket in Italy once, and heard her accent from the back of the line, so when it was my turn, I just spoke danish to her, purely for the joy of seeing the language confusion on her face, when she didn't hear anything she expected and still understood it perfectly... XD I've had the same thing happen in my own job in Denmark, because we can get so focused on our second language and not messing it up, that you can almost see the computing error in our faces, when we forget we're not actually speaking danish anymore and suddenly have to switch back.... XD

But I know plenty of other countries in Europe where English isn't as prioritised, or where media synchronization makes it a lot more difficult to master the language because you don't hear it all the time....

2:44 it almost seems like Dothraki language

Incredibly funny throughout, this guy is immensely talented, he got everything. As I am Norwegian I have to defend myself against the accusations that Norwegians speak like that going UP in the last part of the sentence. Yes, Norwegians do this, but almost mainly the people that live in the east part and middle part, the rest of Norway and specially in the western part the tone is very different and much more like English. This is also why many Norwegians from the east have a terribly bad (and funny!) accent when they speak English, just listen to Stoltenberg, the NATO general secretary, hilariously bad English from that guy, almost unbelievable, and VERY annoying for a fellow Norwegian (fro the west) to listen to. A comfort is that Danish people speak English even worse...

true, my Finnish friend speaks in a dead monotone...

@@christopher.tanujaya I know this is a year old but I'll reply anyways. Reading or listening to Estonian as a Finn is so weird. It feels like I'm listening to someone speaking a southern dialect of Finnish while they have the hiccups and I'm having a stroke. Everything sounds familiar and like I should understand but I don't even though I sometimes feel like I can pick up on the context of what's being talked about. I imagine it's probably similar for Estonians listening to Finnish. "Ma armastan sind" is also somewhat similar to ours. I love you is "Minä rakastan sinua" in kirjakieli (formal Finnish) which no one uses and "Mä rakastan sua" in puhekieli (spoken Finnish) at least here in the south. Armas or Armaani means "my love"/valuable or something like that in Finnish too but it's an older term that's rarely used today. I find that a lot with Estonian. You can sometimes guess the meaning of Estonian words even if at first glance it might seem quite different cause a lot of Estonian vocabulary is the same as in Finnish but just more archaic. Though in most other aspects Estonian seems to be a bit more evolved/advanced than Finnish.

Just wanna point out his Surname means "Fire iron". How cool is that?
