I'd say there are more saunas than cars as cars are necassary in the outbacks, and yet the sauna is even more important for life. Sauna is what a holy sweat lodge is to real Americans, who consider Finns and Samis as brothers with an independent indigineous nation. Samis deserve their own, but as for the Finns I must say their language is almost identical with the eleven Sami languages and that makes them rather indigenous with their holy saunas even though they have lost much of their other ways.

As a Serb, I guess I'm not supposed to understand this completely authentic Croatian language?

@@milanstevic8424 Why even worry or type about this nonsense, even by your wikipedia page ( under "History" "Early development") it says Serbo-Croatian started as Old Church Slavonic, so the language actually originated from Slavonia or Croatia and later when used by regular people it became known as the Croatian version of old slavonic. So from what you're saying I assume you think that Serbian is also not a language but it's also Serbo-Croatian?

@milanstevic8424

2 жыл бұрын

@@22222roro what's your logic here? why don't we call your language Proto-Germanic then? there is a reason it evolved into Old English from the fusion of Norse languages and West-Germanic dialects of Anglo-Saxons. Similarly, Serbo-Croatian was developed from Old Slavonic language group (but not the actual Church variant however, read below). If you didn't know, we are all Slavs: Poles, Slovaks, Czechs, Croats, Slovenians, Serbs, Russians, Ukrainians, and many others. There is no Slavonia!! There was never a country called Slavonia, there is a region by that name, but contrary to what you're thinking, it's not the birthplace of the Slavs, it was named like that after the fact. Likewise, there is no distinct Croatian language. Sure, there is a country of Croatia, but Croats actually share their language with at least 4 other populations in the same general area. No, the primary language did not originate in Croatia. If you had read the article with due attention you'd learn that there are three major distinct dialects of Serbo-Croatian, and these are the variants that constitute the whole difference between the nations. But these differences are so nuanced that Croats, Serbs, Bosnians, and Montenegrins can outright understand each other on their mother tongue. The primary language we all speak is named after the two most dominant speaker nations, Serbs and Croats, and it wasn't named like that by me, it was the international consensus that the language should be named Serbo-Croatian. English people aren't Germans, declaratively, yet their language evolved from a proto-German dialect. Not to mention the plethora of words borrowed from Latin and later French. Is French then the same as English? Is English then same as German? Contrary to these examples, Serbs can understand Croats without any exposure or practice with the "Croatian language". Can you figure out the nonsense in your line of thinking? If this person said "I speak Slavic" that would be nonsensical as well. There is no singular Slavic language, even though there are so many Slavic people, but obviously the roots to all Slavic languages can be traced back to old Slavic dialects, that are for some reason CALLED Slavonic. Why? Well, Old Church Slavonic wasn't a true spoken language but a literary one, used as a standard to marry the meaning, laws, and literature between all Slavic peoples at the time. At the time, scholars were expected to learn several literary languages: Church Slavonic, Latin, and especially Greek were a must, but in the medieval period Persian and Arabic were also prized. Literary language is not the same thing as a spoken one. "Old Church Slavonic was *adopted* as the language of the liturgy in churches serving various Slavic nations." "Old Church Slavonic or Old Slavonic was the first Slavic *literary* language." "The beginning of written Serbo-Croatian can be traced from the *10th century* and on when *Serbo-Croatian medieval texts* were written in five scripts: Latin, Glagolitic, Early Cyrillic, Bosnian Cyrillic and Arebica, the last principally by Bosniak nobility. *Serbo-Croatian* competed with the more established literary languages of *Latin and Old Slavonic* in the west and Persian and Arabic in the east." There is no Australian! There is no Canadian! There is no Falklandislandian! There is no American! There is no Croatian! There is a principle of common reason behind this, because it is well-established what constitutes a standalone language in this world. I'm sorry but you must be a shitty troll if you completely disregard the 1000+ year old legacy of a language that no European thinker or politician had the balls to deny.

They also have a nasty habit of accumulating various proteins in their urine. Over time those proteins can build up and cause a super painful blockage that can and will basically paralyze the reindeer. So poronkusema is the maximum distance you can force your reindeer to run between piss breaks, unless you actually like being stranded in the middle of nowhere in freezing temperatures, massaging the animal's bladder to try to break the blockage or, worst case scenario, trying to suck it out.

I can't believe he doesn't know the reason Santa Claus is called Joulupukki. The yule goat is the _original_ holiday mascot whereas Santa Claus was brought to the Nordic countries by Coca-Cola and merged with the "tomte" from Scandinavian folklore. In Sweden, the yule goat still exists, albeit merely as an ornament, while the "tomte" hands out the presents.

@KoteDarasuum

3 жыл бұрын

The yule goat still exists here in Finland as ornament too. But the origin for joulupukki is but different to yule goat. In here, "nuutti pukki" used to bring gifts, a meanspirited and somewhat cruel spirit/unnatural being who was mostly like a man but with a some parts of a goat, with it allways having a head or skull of a goat as face, with some variations to the body, for example centaurlike mix of man and goat, or a goat legged man, or just the head of a goat on a man. He would visit on st knuts day, a nordic holiday after christmas (his name even means knut goat) and he would stay in your house untill he is entertained enough to leave, most often this meant you would give the man in costume enough alcohol so he is drunk and leaves. But if the knut goat wasnt entertained enough he would make pranks to the household before leaving. The children were told he would take away mean and kill bad behaving children, and bring them to Joulupukki, who lives on korvatunturi, a mountain in lapland that was claimed to be made out of skulls of mean and badly behaving children taken there. You know, the fun kind of christmas tradition!

What a lovely host! Utterly adorable. She should run for office. She is very diplomatic.

Start from scratch because of the mosquitos.

He is the most genuine person

I have a couple of Finnish friends, they're quite unique, but in a great way, very funny and self deprecating. I like this host too, she's very likable and a good interviewer who knows how to keep things moving while also being engaged - I hope she gets snapped up by a national channel

Actually the word goat=pukki used in joulupukki comes from old nordic paganism, It represents the goats of thor, Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjóstr. Although we Finns didnt call him thor, we call him Ukko but its pretty much the same thing. Before the commercialized red cocacola santaclaus came here we had nuuttipukki. Nuuttipukki is a person (Usually a children) wearing a goat fur/skin and some sort of goat mask, going from house to house to sing a song in return for some treats. Originally tho nuuttipukki was not so pleasant visitor, they were usually drunk men who wore those same outfits and went from house to house to ask for leftover food and drinks after christmas, if you didnt give them anything they could break up something from your house.

Finland is good place to visit and live. But not all are nice and beautiful 😁, but Finland is worth a try 👍

He is hilarious!!! If you have not seen his show, you need to go. Saw him earlier this month at the laugh factory in Vegas and his show is really good.

I am a new ISMO fan!!! He is THE BOMB!

Ismo is actually a very smart comedian. His jokes are all intelligent and original.

A brilliant interview

Getting drunk with your underwear is called Pantsdrunk!! Usually we do it alone but it is still considered as having a party. A one man (or woman) party. 😂

Lovely interview ❤

Coincidentally "Ayi" also means Mother in the Tamil language which is spoken in Tamilnadu@South India. Amma and Thai also means Mother in Tamil

I've seen Ismo in a few videos and I love it but I think the Great Day Houston host and Ismo could do bits here and there as she was great as well. Kudos to you both.

I mean it does measure how happy mentally you are but mainly it focuses in your living conditions, safety, economy, overall health, child deaths, healthcare, education, etc., and Finland is in the top countries in all of them.

I have to agree with Erik, Ismo unfortunately isn't the most famous or best liked comedian in Finland. 🤔 Don't get me wrong, he is well known and liked, just not our biggest star. I think the one that is everywhere right now is Sami Hedberg, no?

@rainefagerholm7670
