Congrats on a nice and very informative video of Porvoo. I sure hope those Runeberg Torten were dipped in Arrack/Punsch. I'm a Finn living in Sweden and could just about kill for a couple of those...

Indeed! We loved our time in Finland and can’t wait to visit again one day.

Swedish say "hej hej". Finns say "hei hei" and it's same as bye bye. If you say once "hei" it's basically same as "hi". Finns use "moi" or "moikka" more when meeting someone etc. Both mean "hi" or "hello" but "moikka" is more playful and women use it more than men. You can also say "terve" it literally translates = "healthy" but is used as a greeting alot. It also ofc means healthy in Finnish. We got tons of words that have multible meanings that have nothing to do with each others :D

@@KeepGoingPlaces Well, the Swedish hej, and Finnish hei sound really the same - just like the English 'Hey'. Meaning hi & bye both: typical doubled for bye, but there's no strict rule. Mainly said slower when meeting, and faster when departing (as if in a hurry :) ) At least in Finland hej and hei sound the same, in Sweden their hej sounds different, the ending being really consonantal. I would say moikka or heippa for moi and hei are more like used between family, friends and acquaintances, than having a gender divide - they're for 'homies', though I've met people who readily say them to strangers - gives an open, friendly touch. Maybe they were business people… :) They always look foe sales strategies. I think there comes the gender divide in using the friendlier greetings because ladies in general are more easygoing, ready to make new acquaintances. Men likely prefer to have separately the few really close friends, and keep a more distant relationship with acquaintances, though being happy to meet new people. One version of moi is more a masculine one though, namely moro. That likely comes from the R sound seen as aggressive, and so not that lady-like - at least in earlier times. Yet there are some cities and areas of Finland where it's locally common for both men and women alike. So it's not easy to put any clear gender differences in the greetings :) Some other expressions, like what's wonderful or impressive, have more clear gender typical expressions.

Oh, and Porvoo is said closer to 'Porvaw' - the hint is in the spelling: the o is the same sound, no matter where it appers in Finnish - just short (1) or long (2). Finnish spelling is one of the most systematc in the world: every letter corresponds the same sound always. With a few exceptions, most importantly the ng is like in sing & singer in English (only double long), never like in finger. The double ling doesn't involve only the vowels, but the consonants too. Notice how you say the 2 L letters together in 'travel life' - both L sounds getting their time and space. Finnish & Swedish do this inside the word as well - as it's spelled :) The Swedish word Borgå is the original name of the city, it's said like 'Borgaw'. The small circle over the a means you say it like the o in York. You can think it corresponds to what happened in English for the au & aw, plus the a in small etc. Why Finnish has a P there in Porvoo is because Finnish has a softer sound there, which English speakers may hear as B. We Finns here the English P sound as P+h - h like in hey. The P & B sounds haven't been actually really separate in Finnish until after WWII - and still some people may mix them, older especially, and kids struggle to hear a difference there. You might hear panaani (banana, officially banaani), or bub (bab in Finnish spelling) for pub.

The pastry is torta in Swedish, torttu in Finnish. The word is related to the English tart, but it means a different kind of pastry - the one you showed and ate :) What type of pastry you'd call it, a cake?

Nice video, I will be visiting Finland after 10 years

Thanks for your nice presentation. I know a little bit about the country as my son is studying masters program in Tampare University. Again I would like to thank you for your nice presentation and photos.

It's a long O at the end. As in "oh, no"...
