Little correction: You can buy spirits in Finland from the age 20. The percentage limit is 22%, so you can buy only alcohol that's 0-22% when you're 18-20. You not only get information wrong, but you also diss Karjalanpiirakka... This means war
Good to also point out that 18 year olds can buy spirits in bars, just not directly from a store. Most likely because bars can monitor the drinking a bit and they don't trust 18 year olds to be responsible on their own.
Thank you dude you just made my day 😂 as someone who currently lives in Estonia but has a lot of friends in Finland this was the best video I saw this week
Estonia really is just Finland 2: Electric Boogaloo. The Finnish anthem actually shares the same melody as the Estonian anthem! The only differences between the two anthems are their key signature and the repetition of the last four lines of each verse in the Finnish anthem. Estonia's anthem is called Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm (My Fatherland, My Happiness and Joy) and its lyrics were written by Johann Voldemar Jannsen in 1869. It was first adopted in 1920, relinquished in 1940, and readopted in 1990. The Finnish anthem was written by Johan Ludvig Runeberg, originally in SWEDISH! It was adopted in 1917 but was originally performed and written in 1848 for the 500th anniversary of Porvoo where Johan lived. GERMAN immigrant Frederik Pacius composed the melody! When it comes to military and political history together, during the Estonian War of Independence in the late 1910s, Finnish volunteers went to help them win their independence. In the 1930s, Estonia engaged in secret military co-operation with Finland against the threat of the Soviets. And when Estonia was trying to join the EU in 2002, Finland fully backed them! In turn, Estonia was a big supporter of Finland's NATO membership.
Gotta say I've always felt like Estonia as the little sibling of Finland (only for the size). Always loved hearing eesti spoken and stroke fun conversations with estonians. Zero bad experiences and cheap booze❤️
There's quite a lot of Finns who would like to change the national anthem to Finlandia by Sibelius but it's still viewed as a "nationalist" (meaning anti-Soviet/Russian) song by the left so they are not going to allow it.
I have been there, drove there by car from Serbia in 2018. First I saw very old man riding a sports bike. Next I stopped by some remote train stations to ask for directions. I saw 2 perdons, I think they were male and female. Both in black, looking like if they would commit suicide. In the dorm, random guy I just met, asked me if I would like to go to sauna. In central Savonia, I saw some competition, in the mud with women half naked. In Oulu, I saw people waling their dogs in 2AM, while sun was shining. 3 days later, I was back in Serbia. We have some crazy things here, but not like Finland.
@@celeron55 We have snow in Serbia too. From december to mid march. In the highlands there is sometimes in June too. BTW, here are people so afraid of snow, that they drive on winter tires all year round; I brought 2 winter tires in my car to Finland as spares, just in case.
They looked like they would kill themselves because they were wearing black? Wearing all black is pretty common in Finland. Doesn't mean everyone wants to commit suicide.

Bruh a finnish friend of mine got rejected from a club despite being days away from 20. I could get her inside only with the help of a turkish bodyguard lol
Finland is actually an awesome place inhabited by awesome people. If they decide to speak - you should listen. They love nature, everything they decide to do will be done well, huge metalworking industry (for the size of the country), they're very well armed privately and as a state, very well educated, they're some of the best road drivers in the world and some of the best racing drivers are Finns, their point of view on life is almost philosophy. It just shows that in those forests, saunas and near those lakes they've spent a good amount of time thinking. Honestly every nation in the world could use some influence from them. As for drinking, it's something everyone knows, but I haven't seen a drunk Finn myself.
I'd like to agree, but alcoholism and xenophobia are sadly wildly popular pastimes here. I guess you might not see the less favourable side of Finland unless you spend extended amounts of time here and really get to know some locals.

Something to point out about Finland in Sweden's favor is that the smallest region of the country is a group of islands called Åland and there, Swedish is the ONLY official language! It is also the only part of Finland that has a special autonomous region status and has a much higher degree of autonomy than the others with its own Parliament and local laws. It even shares a strange land border with Sweden on the island of Märket. Originally it was just split in half but when the Finnish side built a lighthouse on the Swedish side (though it wasn't formally), it resulted in an adjusted inverted S border in 1985 to still equally split. Their flag is neat too as it is a Swedish flag defaced with a red cross, with the red cross symbolizing Finland. When Finland obtained independence from Russia in 1917, many Ålanders feared they would lose their Swedish culture and language which led to the native population starting a movement to unite with Sweden. This led to Finland, Sweden, and Russia appealing to the League of Nations, who decided in favor of Ålander autonomy (and this autonomy was reaffirmed when Finland joined the EU). Starting in the early 1920s, Åland unofficially used a blue and yellow three-striped flag (two blue stripes, one yellow) until it was banned in 1935 by the Finnish government. In 1952, new laws gave Åland the right to make its own flag, which it adopted in 1954.
I did three weeks in Vaasa in mid winter for a foreign exchange and happened to have had my 18th Birthday there. It was a comforting, enjoyable kind of depression ❤️

I was in Finland for work this year, and it’s true there isn’t much to do, but the people are nice and its a beautiful country if you like the outdoors. Also no need to buy water really, you can just drink tap water, it’s very pristine.
for the authentic Tampere experience I recommend visiting Katiska in Nekala or Pub Goljat in Kaukajärvi late in the evening or at night and preferably on a Friday or a Saturday, but I cannot be held responsible for any stabbings or other forms of violence that might occur. good luck!
me as a finn watching this video and you literally made me laugh AT THE START. i havent really played any finnish games (reasons, age raiting, too expensive, other stuffs, just couldnt play) but the ones i have played havent been that hard. i also have seen many videos of my summer car and it does look pretty hard.
Only 24 in 3 hours? That's called pohjat in Finland. Pohjat means you will drink at ur house before going to bar, as bars are expensive to drink all night. So you get drunk at home or at friends place and when u are down 24 beers you can go to bar and drink 20 more pints
@@Teddy_Tek this is the most unhealthy dangerous practice i ever heard......thank god Finland roads are mostly empty or you will have crashes by the 100's because every one is drunk

I would like to clarify as a finnish, that we mostly get all of our alcohol from Estonia. In the capitals harbour there is a place called Superalko. Alko is a liquor store in finland but in Estonia it is a super one. Very cheap there and you can buy spirit at the age of 18.

I am still so waiting for the tunnel to be built between Helsinki and Tallinn. I can't even fucking imagine how dope it would be, having basically one metropolis with 2 distinct districts - northern and southern.
I love the "Finland doesn't exist" bit, flat earthers are the most insane people on earth. There's a guy that claims animals are fake, all nature videos are recorded in a studio and animals are all animatronics. I've watched a few of his vids, he's completely insane!! 😅
"Can't go into pubs or clubs if you're under the age of 20"?????? The age limit is 18 to get into those places! Maybe you mixed it up with the "legal age for buying stronger alcoholic beverages" which only applies outside of bars and clubs. Edit: Also going to the biggest cities Helsinki and Tampere and calling it "Finland" is kinda limiting which I feel this is a mistake most tourists make. Where Finland really strives are the small towns and "educational trails" or huge forest parks.
@@xCDF-pt8kj lool it's insane when you look back and realise how tiny 16 year olds are! There were like 3 mixed girls in Turku and we all used the same girl's ID
Bars are allowed to set their entry age to higher than the legal age. I know of a bar in Helsinki where you are only allowed in if you are at least 30 years of age.

You forgot at the language part, the interesting relationship Finnish and Estonian languages have. Almost all the words are the same, or sound familiar. But we won't understand like a single sentence from the other language. The words are same or similar, but they mean completely different things and are placed completely differently. First time hearing the other language as a native speaker of the different one, you think they had a stroke.
Finnish and estonia originally 2000 years ago were the exact ssme language, at some point people divided and they both over time changed but not so much that they wouldnt sound different

Starting in the early 1920s, Åland unofficially used a blue and yellow three-striped flag (two blue stripes, one yellow) until it was banned in 1935 by the Finnish government. In 1952, new laws gave Åland the right to make its own flag, which it adopted in 1954.
yooo I lived there, Funny hearing it named sometimes
Although now, because Sweden didn't give a shit about Åland for so long, they actually no longer want to be a part of Sweden
Ay Åland!
åland is for sale,anyone?
Finland truly is one of the countries of all time
Bro litteraly just told me the place where i been for 10 years is not real 💀
Guess we swedish now .-.
I did three weeks in Vaasa in mid winter for a foreign exchange and happened to have had my 18th Birthday there. It was a comforting, enjoyable kind of depression ❤️
Well it's nice that you felt the same as every other Finn.
What did you think of Vaasa, the best city in Finland?😏
@@Cronin_thanks for letting me borrow your private jet bro appreciate it
I am from Vaasa. I did ancestry dna test and learned i'm 80 percent swedish. My whole world has changed. I tried to commit suicide but couldn't do it. Now i have to live like this. But after that i decide it is a swedish game. I suggest people don't dna test it's lie bcs i'm 100 percent finnish.
I'm also from Vaasa. How did you like it?
I was in Finland for work this year, and it’s true there isn’t much to do, but the people are nice and its a beautiful country if you like the outdoors. Also no need to buy water really, you can just drink tap water, it’s very pristine.
depends on what you like to do. I can watch youtube all day everywhere 🤣
But seriously the tap water is factually the best in the world
@@user-ih4fd9sf8xThere are a lot of talkative ppl in Finland.
for the authentic Tampere experience I recommend visiting Katiska in Nekala or Pub Goljat in Kaukajärvi late in the evening or at night and preferably on a Friday or a Saturday, but I cannot be held responsible for any stabbings or other forms of violence that might occur. good luck!
As someone from the Balkans, this made me want to go to Finland as soon as possible! 🤩
3:10 Кино (Kino) detected, very nice choice of music.
I also heard Кино music. The song is called Пачка сигарет (Pachka sigaret/Pack of cigarettes)
based music selection, i heard that too
hell yeah
I love Finland! I lived there for two years; worth it,no regrets!!!!!!😁🤘❤Miss youuuu!
As a person living in finland I can't express in words how much I've been looking forward to this accurate 4 minute explanation of our country
As an estonian, this is mad relatable.
me as a finn watching this video and you literally made me laugh AT THE START. i havent really played any finnish games (reasons, age raiting, too expensive, other stuffs, just couldnt play) but the ones i have played havent been that hard. i also have seen many videos of my summer car and it does look pretty hard.
Had Finnish neighbours for a few years.
Biggest drinkers i have ever met. Even the tiny wife could drink a 24 of beers in 3 hours or less.
Only 24 in 3 hours? That's called pohjat in Finland. Pohjat means you will drink at ur house before going to bar, as bars are expensive to drink all night. So you get drunk at home or at friends place and when u are down 24 beers you can go to bar and drink 20 more pints
@@Teddy_Tek
this is the most unhealthy dangerous practice i ever heard......thank god Finland roads are mostly empty or you will have crashes by the 100's because every one is drunk
@@اسكندرفكارThat's why we have such little traffic and good public transport. Everybody is drunk so they can't drive.
@@اسكندرفكارhaha yeah we always take pohjat before going to bar🤣🤣 One of my favourites is to drink like half of the 24 pack beer and then couple sips of vodka or something and I will be drunk as shit going to the bar and don’t need to buy a lot of 10€ drinks once I am in
@@Gandy881
alcohol also hearts your body from the inside .....you need to change this bad habits.....in my country bearly eny one drinks
I would like to clarify as a finnish, that we mostly get all of our alcohol from Estonia. In the capitals harbour there is a place called Superalko. Alko is a liquor store in finland but in Estonia it is a super one. Very cheap there and you can buy spirit at the age of 18.
only reason estonia exists is finnish alcohol money
Ihan hyvä video. Nauroin itekkin. Me joudutaan opiskelemaan kouluissa ruotsia, jopa 3 tuntia viikossa 💀

My new boyfriend is from Finland so I'm currently on RUclips doing some research. One minute in so far, I'm slightly confused but quite amazed lol.
As a native Finn I partially approve this video, some of the most crucial memes were left out that we talk about like seasons, Santa, booze rally to Estonia, sauna culture in depth and beyond. 😁
I am still so waiting for the tunnel to be built between Helsinki and Tallinn. I can't even fucking imagine how dope it would be, having basically one metropolis with 2 distinct districts - northern and southern.
They might make them into one big country fr
I love the "Finland doesn't exist" bit, flat earthers are the most insane people on earth. There's a guy that claims animals are fake, all nature videos are recorded in a studio and animals are all animatronics. I've watched a few of his vids, he's completely insane!! 😅
2:57 So Russia fought against the sea in 1939 and lost.. interesting
Have you ever heard about Titanic? Any more questions?
They probably kept running into the water and drowning

@@Finnguyy no, Baltic sea is real, I've seen it with my own eyes. Not so sure about Finland tho...
@@PanJakubPuchaty i live in Finland 💀💀👏
Fun fact: you can see estonia's coast from finland
I love Finland. I'm looking forward to going back. I'm also going to Estonia for the first time ever.
"Can't go into pubs or clubs if you're under the age of 20"?????? The age limit is 18 to get into those places! Maybe you mixed it up with the "legal age for buying stronger alcoholic beverages" which only applies outside of bars and clubs.
Edit: Also going to the biggest cities Helsinki and Tampere and calling it "Finland" is kinda limiting which I feel this is a mistake most tourists make. Where Finland really strives are the small towns and "educational trails" or huge forest parks.
And people go to bars with fake IDs at 16 anyway lol
@@xCDF-pt8kj lool it's insane when you look back and realise how tiny 16 year olds are! There were like 3 mixed girls in Turku and we all used the same girl's ID
Bars are allowed to set their entry age to higher than the legal age. I know of a bar in Helsinki where you are only allowed in if you are at least 30 years of age.
The thing you said about karjalanpiirakka... Those were fighting words
As a Greek,I would absolutely love to go on a vacation to a Finnish prison,💯
As a Finn I hope my hotel stay at Χανιά will surpass the Finnish prison experience. My experience in Finnish military service might though be a lot worse than Finnish prison would be 😂
I went to Sukeva prison in Finland for 11 days for doing some traffic hooliganism 😂 It's not even nearly as nice as Geopold made it sound like. 1 hour of outdoors per day in a tiny backyard. Hard as hell beds.
Finland, land of the lakes, that one farmer with an iron sight sniper, Nokia, Rovio, big brother of Estonia, saunas and owner of åland
Thank you very much
Brilliant stuff
2:25 I cannot accept this karjalanpiirakka slander
You are oikeassa
Karjalanpiirakka is peak fr 🗣🔥‼️
as a guy who lived in Finland for 5months (in Joensuu, eastern part of the Finland), I can confirm these. Lovely country, people are nice, especially when they are drunk lol
To be honest I really like to Finland 🇫🇮 because I already tried to learn to Finnish Language and that's really was unforgettable experience in my life in this sphere like to different languages, Moi kaikille, mitä kuuluu ja tämä video erittäin hyvä ja perkele! Yeah that's good country 💯.
PLEASE do a video about Estonia too!
You forgot at the language part, the interesting relationship Finnish and Estonian languages have. Almost all the words are the same, or sound familiar. But we won't understand like a single sentence from the other language. The words are same or similar, but they mean completely different things and are placed completely differently. First time hearing the other language as a native speaker of the different one, you think they had a stroke.
Finnish and estonia originally 2000 years ago were the exact ssme language, at some point people divided and they both over time changed but not so much that they wouldnt sound different
Itse asiassa ymmärtää melko hyvin
Actually not every word sounds the same: "pulmat" means wedding in Estonian and is kind of like the plural form of 'trouble' in Finnish.
@@ihhaahhhhhaaa pulma on hiukan lähempänä puzzle/issue etc, trouble meinaa vakavampaa versiota issues, yleensä jos vaikka auton rengas puhkeaa niin yleensä "i had issues" joku sanoo "ran into trouble" mut se on enemmän sanonta. Jos vakavampaa asiaa vaikka lain kanssa ongelmissa tai fyysistä vaaraa tai autokolari ym sanotaan useammin trouble. Ainakin näin mulle opetettu. Pulmat suora käännös veikkaan että on "puzzle's", "issue's" tai ehkä joku "troubling issue" as in vaivaava ongelma. Tämä on niin kiinni siitä missä kontekstissa tämä pulmat sana pitäis kääntää
_"Almost all the words are the same, or sound familiar."_
Not true.
As a man with over 1,600 hours in the Finnish game "My Summer Car" I find this quite accurate.

As a half Hungarian American person, my ears were burning. Now I know why. You are talking about my drukle cousins ( a drunkle is a drunk uncle). Keep up the good work!
They also mentioned Estonia in the video, so every Estonian is going to be summoned here aswell.
I loved every second of this video. As a Finn I have never been this honored to be Finnish. My only regret as a Finn is not being in my home country when Geopold graces us with their presence to suck their man korv.
So many false things of Finland.

As a brazilian, Finland is the only place in Europe i actually experienced racism. Maybe because they all said i looked Norwegian, and got pissed when i said i was actually from Brazil.
Anwyay, i was glad to see at least a bit of nationalism, europeans are severely lacking in it these days.
Surprised you didn’t mention the most iconic thing about Finnish culture, the Euro Shopper energy drinks
Nice that you visited Tampere. Greetings from here! 👋 It would have been awesome to meet you
2:14 it's funny seeing a picture in a video that I have seen IRL, that's at the Tikkurila train station
The streets of Helsinki and Tampere only get dirty at night when the alcoholics fight for the line at the local streetside grill

Cleanliness one is true. Finland seemed uncanny, just like home, but too clean, buildings are repaired, and roads in the middle of nowhere are actually all right. Broke my mind LOL

A company I work for is based out of Finland. It's basically an entire country of introverts. Because it's so cold, and stays dark half the year, people there get so bored, they just pretty much drink, or f**k. If you're an American and go to Finland, but you're also a devout Christian....kiss your virginity away. Those Finnish girls are clever.
0:46 is wrong, you can go to bars and clubs at the age of 18, not 20
That food part is so ironic. Finnish food is incredibly good but we also took all of the good swedish food. However we didn't borrow their various foods which are just fish prepared in the most horrible ways.
No? We have plenty of inlaid fish recipes and dubious foods with fish in it. Surströmming just happens to be very extreme.
