The same goes for swedish. It is due to the slow growing so that they have lots of time to build all that flavour. ❤

Potatoes and strawberries are available all year round but the domestic seasonal varieties are held in high regard, for strawberries it’s June/July.

I only eat Strawberries during June/July.. Seasonal are the best!

The finnish strawberries are so good! The midnight sun, you know. :)

As a Norwegian, this was very entertaining. Finns and Norwegians are undoubtedly very similar in most areas. I'm not sure if we have wife carrying competitions in Norway. If I am not wrong it was tried up north, after Finland started. The ties between Norway and Finland are naturally much closer in Finnmark than in the rest of the country, since we share the border, and the Sami people with a common language live on both sides of the border. Most people are naked in the sauna, but it is common to have a towel around you that you put to the side when you have sat down. There usually are womens and mens sauna. They are not very common in Norwegian homes, and I suppose it varies from family to family whether they are naked together or not. We learn the names of our closest colleagues, but not people in other departments unless we work closely with them or become known for other reasons. When the Norwegian strawberries arrive to the stores it is announced, because Norwegian strawberries are much sweeter than the Dutch berries we can get earlier in the summer. You get the best strawberries in the north of the country, because there it is light day and night.

Your typical swede here, sure us Fenno-Scandinavians are quite similar, would be weird otherwise, due to geographic placement and shared history together. I still have not been able to figure out why in some places Norge becomes Noreg as well, maybe it is just Nynorsk, or dialectal I don't know.

Babies are given a working title. People used to believe that in case a death an unnamed baby's soul couldn't go to the afterlife. People also believed that souls could take a form of a bird, so birds are fed during the winter and especially on Christmas. In one of the most popular Christmas songs a girl is feeding a poor sparrow on a Christmas morning and the sparrow is her dead little brother. It's the saddest thing ever. Arriving migratory birds indicate how the spring is progressing and when the summer starts. New potatoes symbolize the beginning of the summer and strawberries that the summer is on. There's lots of daylight time and not too hot in Finland during the summer, so berries grow tasty. Those strange sports (summer festivals) are one way to get together and celebrate the summer.

the asking names thing is so real. I've gone to the same gym for 5 years and there is this older guy I always talk to and we just call him dad. Not to him but if I talk about him outside the gym I always just say the "dad guy at the gym" and thats it. I still dont know his name to this day xD

I'm half Aussie, half Finnish (but born and raised in Aus with family across both). Very accurate video from my personal experince - from the silences and lack of small talk to hearing 'No niin' for man reasons, mostly I remember when it was dinner time.

I nor any of my friends or relstives never inhale and speak simultaneously.

I was surprised about not using names, I didn't know that. In Sweden it's the first thing we learn and we feel very embarrassed when we forget the name of a person.

I guess it’s a bit different for everyone. I usually won’t ask names from chance encounters but can still have a quick chat. (I mean if you’re never going to see the person again, what will you do with a name?) If I see (interact with) a person many times I will ask for names because I’m getting to know them. It’s different in social functions like parties etc, there you are expected to introduce yourself and yes meeting lots of people and trying to remember their names is stressful 😅

Typical Finn always thinks twice before he says nothing.🤐

She herself, her mannerisms, her examples.. they all feel more Swedish to me than Finnish. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that she comes from a Swedish-Finnish family, and isn't actually that familiar with non-Swede-Finnish culture.

And just as I write that, 7:15, we get a scene of her on a boat in an archipelago. She is 100% from a Swedish-speaking Finnish family, and her life experience is very different from that of most of actual Finns.

This girl has never been to a Finnish restaurant. Many times over 10 hour days so that 4pm stuff is just bullshit.

Iam Finnish and I gives name to baby alredy in my stumic, becourse if it happens the baby dies, it has a name at funeural. Kinda stupid to say the baby if you talk about it och him/ her in beginning then its name, its a person. I think its really lame to not figure out a name, you normally gets 9 months to do that. But, most Finnish people gives later, when child is born. Its good there is rule/ law, in couple months after birth child has be registered whit names. Even my son little bit over 2 years, said his sisters name to daycare teacher then baby sister... 😊

Except Finns using "no niin" is just nonsense. Some people might use it regularly but it's not something you might hear every day. Ofcourse there is exceptions. :D I think its just a meme and a myth at this point.
