The mixed family sauna is a thing until the kids start to reach puberty and after that it is each gender on their own with maybe a period of time allotted for the mother and the father alone.
Exactly what I asked and you answered me so correctly thank you
@@Blessing_Reacts No one is interested for namedays in Finland. Maybe they mention that is your nameday, but no one celebrates those.
That is not true. I go to the sauna naked with my sister and my mother all the time and I am 38.
@@Mojova1Whatever, Lannister, whatever.
@@zami8827 This is not true. Name days used to be more important than birthdays, so a lot of older people still value them a lot, it is only younger generations that no longer celebrate them
Hello and greetings from Finland. I can assure you that all 20 statements are true. Most of us Finns love silence and peace. It seems even funnier when you look at how many rock and metal bands there are in Finland (more than 7000). Finland is considered the home of metal music.
We actually take our shoes off when we come inside. There are two reasons for this. First of all, sand and other loose dirt do not spread throughout the home. secondly, the floor material is often wood, parquet or wood-patterned plastic carpet. they get scratched and look dirty quickly, so it's much more pleasant not having to spend so much time cleaning. besides, even if it is very cold outside, there is no frost inside because the houses are well insulated.
In Finland, it is very natural to go to the sauna with your family so that nudity does not disturb you. even friends can visit the sauna without any ulterior motives. We are born naked so why make a big deal out of it? this is how many people think here in Finland.
It's true, we Finns are very curious about what others think of us😂.
lol 😂 you really took out your time to explain to me and I enjoyed your explanation…. The last part made me smile…
@@Blessing_Reacts Now you know what happens if you ask a finn "how are you" 😁
@@sundflux Yes, you get the story of a lifetime and a her/his whole medical history. 🤣
Only the odd competions was somewhat weird, the other 19 seems perfectly nomal to me.
But then I am Swedish.
The main prize in the wife-carrying competition is the wife's weight in beer. =)
Ohh I see 😂
16:46 It's true, I remember being in sauna all naked with my mom and dad as a kid while growing.
And same goes with my cousins when we were kids, be it girls or boys. And same goes to grandparents.
Sure, now that I'm and adult, without a partner or kids, it's just same gender sauna visits for me at the public swimming hall sauna.
But as this inclines, there meets the babies all the way to the elderly ladies, everyone being in their natural state.
If you're interested, I would like to recommend you to take a look at a video by:
UNESCO - Sauna culture of Finland
Thank you so much I will check that out to see
She forgot to mention that we also have a dry but sometimes wicked sense of humour. :D
We always go to sauna naked. Swimming halls, we have sections for men and women but also there we go naked. It has nothing to do with sexuality, we just enjoy heat and that steam and silence in there. Just get youself pure and after sauna...nice shower. Winter time I like go out snow swimming at my backyard and then back to warm sauna. I was in north Finland..Lapland some years ago with my nephew and we even had portable sauna with us and had that kiuas (I don't know English word for that, you can google it). Put some wood burning inside that kiuas, collected a lot of stones on top of that kiuas and had nice sauna time in the middle of bright night (nightless night) when sun never goes down :)
Such a beautiful experience
A man going to mens sauna with a towel or some such as cover is also likely to be a target of some ridicule. Nothing nasty though, probably just cheering him to embrace nudity.
While in general we are silent in comparison, that doesn't mean that we don't have extroverts. Also people get a lot chattier and open to strangers the further you go from big cities of south.
You must have meant a wood-fired sauna. I know the story. Although they should be serviced from time to time, so as not to get ass skin between the boards (or Lauteet, the things you sit in sauna).
You should also avoid touching the stove (I think Kiuas = stove) unless you want to grill your skin. Here in Finland, the maximum temperature in saunas is +100 degrees Celsius (or just little less) and the reason why you can stay in such high temperatures is because of the stove, water, steam and humidity. And you don't stay there very long time, you stay for a while and then you go for a refreshment and then a good meal and a cold drink on top of the sauna. I prefer lemonade or mineral water, because I am strange even among Finns, because I don't like alcohol. And yes, Finns are heavy drinkers and alcoholism is a pretty big problem here, although some fools tries to downplay it.
Since you always say you are super exited, you should do a reaction to Ismo "Super exited"
lol 😂 will check that out
If you are a foreigner in Finland, always double and triple check that milk is lactose free! Most Finns are NOT lactose intolerant, so most dairy products ARE NOT lactose free by default like in most non-Nordic countries. Especially if you are from Asia, South America or especially from Africa (where almost ALL people are lactose intolerant), make sure you you select/request the lactose free options (which are pretty much always available as well, but not the default). Especially if you are experiencing stomach problems in Finland, this should be your first thing to check!
One reason why the note thing is very understandable, is that you usually don't know who is doing things wrong in an apartment building, but you can see the end result, however you really don't want to accuse someone innocent of it. That is when people usually leave notes like "The one who is not recycling their garbage at all, please do better or I will contact the owner" and more commonly these days "There has been a very strong smell of weed coming in to apartments stairs lately, please remember smoking weed is illegal and there are small children living in this building, so at least do it somewhere else"
In the "olden days" people in Finland didn't celebrate their birthdays (and often didn't even know them exactly), so name days were the more important celebration equivalent to birthdays. Since a lot of people from that era are still alive, or their parents kept up the tradition of celebrating of the name day (since that is what they themselves celebrated), even when it started to be replaced by birthday celebrations, they are still highly valued and celebrated by older people in Finland. *There are also a lot of regional differences in this one.*
That is why especially younger people might claim the name days are not celebrated or important (I saw some in the comments), but that is only for them. For example, my mothers generation still value name days way more than birthdays between themselves, and they celebrate each others name days (long calls and go out to restaurants or cafeterias), even though they mainly celebrate their children's birthday, and not their name day. However, when I was young, name days were still almost as valued as birthdays, but without parties, it was usually only among close relatives
On the Sauna thing, there are regional differences inside Finland if parents and children stop going into sauna together during puberty or not, mostly not, but some do. Also, while we don't *usually* go naked into public mixed saunas, there are some exceptions to this. Especially in parties and university student parties this does happen quite a lot. Especially when alcohol is involved, all of these "rules" become very situational and "optional" to some people. Especially when people celebrating wildly, expect to see men and even some women naked in public. Although in the past few years, some politicians/officers have started to make changes in events that have "officially banned" these sort of things, when they used to be just expected to happen. For example, in my hometown's university, just a few years ago (or was it even last year?) they degreed that any university student events can no longer have any activities that allow or promote being naked
*However,* even apart from sauna, Finns are very openly naked in front of people from the same gender. If you are in a public bath, gym, dressing room or sauna, expect everyone from your own sex to change clothes, shower and go to sauna right in front of you without any shame
Hi, lactose-free milk is also available here in finland. I think you've completely missed that shelf. And we also have almond milk, soy milk and oat milk available here, because there are people who can't even drink that lactose-free milk. In small shops, the range may be a bit more limited, but you can find HYLA milk, as well as lactose-free versions and alternatives.
But yes, it's still worth being careful. But it's a rule here that all food-related shops must state what their products contain and mention any allergens. Usually; nuts, peanuts, eggs, milk etc. It's actually by a law.
@@Yavanna79 I think you missed the point a bit
Finland is always watching
🫂so beautiful
I might be weird Finn because i like to tell my name and my nickname
Hei, jokainen tyylillään. :D
I have never understood the name day thing. As a child, I liked it 'cos of the presents, but I have never liked my name that was given to me, so it almost felt more like a curse than a blessing.
Naked in a sauna is a normal thing with a family. I guess it teaches us that there is every type of bodies, and nakedness has nothing to do with sexuality, but naturalness.
The problems arise when nakedness is made taboo. That is what I think. It does not have any research background.
lol 😂 “it almost felt like a curse .. got me laughing…. Thank you so much for sharing
About the name day or birthday or whatever similar, in some company's the person who is the "man of the day" had to bring cake or something from the bakery to celebrate the day. That was weird for me. I guess it's not that much in common but is done. In a large company you'd probably have a fest every day, heh.
Exactly you’d have to fest everyday,heh
Nudity in sauna is an odd thing, now that I think of it. I, for one, prefer to go naked. No big deal, because, well it is sauna. Somehow the nudity taboo does not apply in that very particular situation. Go figure. 🤗
She thinking that only job in the world is an office job. She says everything stops at 4 pm. As a Chef I can say that I work 10 to 12 hours a day during the weekend. Greetings from Finland. :)
She hard no idea 🤷🏻♀️… aww thank you so much for explaining better to me 🫂❤️… I appreciate you
Typical Finns always think twice before they say nothing.🤐
Tbf, she is at least being very specific she is talking about office hour jobs, which is the case 100% of the time when talking about working hours between countries. It is always implied that the service, hospitality, transportation etc. industries are not included.
However, even in your own example, you are not working 10-12h days regularly without either a) breaking the law b) getting paid overtime c) still have your total hours per week + overtime match the other industries and also having specially agreed to these things
@@Songfugel She was saying that everyone in Finland has a lot of free time during the evening and that is not true.
