"Nordic" actually doesn't just mean a country in northern Europe. "Nordic" comes from the Scandinavian term "Norden" (The North), but it's actually used to separate countries with ethnocultural ties to Scandinavia from other countries in the north. Finland and Iceland are Nordic because a bunch of Scandinavians settled in both countries, and both were once part of one of the Scandinavian countries. Also the Nordic region, including Finland is a very culturally unified area (the laws, people's values, political views, traditions, foods etc. are largely the same in all the countries). So countries like Russia for example are not Nordic, because there's a notable cultural and ethnic difference.
informative and interesting information on cool facts about Finland Tootsie Blabber Ana experiences of living in Finland are really heart warming- impressed
Why Finland has so many saunas? Well - sauna is a bath. It's a version of steam bath. It's the age old way to wash oneself. Showers were invented pretty late in history. There are similar solutions elsewhere in the world. American natives take steam baths in their teepees - throwing water on hot stones. Maybe the nations in the long houses (like Iroquois) do it too. And Turkish steam bath, or Arabic has the same idea, they just use lower temperatures. The Romans did already something similar. The Finnish invention was to make a log cabin for it. Well - Finns traditionally made log cabins for every type of building they needed. After stopping to live in tents, which the stone age people did. Don't know when the houses appeared, was it bronze age or later. Oldest Finnish word for a tent is kota - the like the Sámi most often still use, when out in the open. 'Home' is now koti, older form koto (now poetic, affective, and with inflectional forms of koti).
It’s a asian thing, our genes are partly asian including native americans, eskimoe, monglian, japaneese people with others. A trace that you don’t find as much among other europeans including russians.
@@dbtest117 Though there are some relations with genes and cultures, it's better be careful with them - they don't match one to one. In this particular case I also see a relation.
Finland has been ranked 4 times in a row now. 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. Also world happines index report ranked Finland the best country 2019. The reasons are about the same as being The happiest country.
i think that you should visit in Vääksy, and a place called Pulkkilanharju. maybe take a cruise at Päijänne. just because, well it is a beautiful place, and it is the place that gives water for people in Helsinki.
2.point - as a estonian, would be nice, if the graphs show Estonia also as a Finnish Ugri language country and if You look, who is in Nord, then also a Nordic country. We have similar faith with Finland, that we are called Baltic countries, but actually the real Baltic countries are Lithuania and Latvia.
When it comes to electric power, renewable is mostly wind and water since sun is not something we have when power is most needed, ie. winter. The non-renewable is likely mostly nuclear - unlike some other countries that have tried to shutdown all nuclear (notably Sweden and Germany), Finland is even now waiting for another reactor to be ready and come online. Otoh we take very well care of them, has of the most earthquake safe grounds in the world and do for example 300 meter deep caverns in rock to store endproducts.
@@TootsieBlabber I would like to think it is the cleanest base-power we have at the moment, until a viable alternative is available (fusion?).. Unfortunately renewables are either limited (waterways) or unreliable (sun and wind that depends on weather). I rather see a well handled nuclear powerplant than same capacity coal one for the time being. No perfect solution. Perhaps giant solar collectors in orbit.. ?
Well, yeah, but in Antarctica they have measured -93,2 C, so -51,5 is really not that cold :-) Seriously, in south we don't even go below -20 every winter anymore. I think hot summers are a bigger problem than the few chilly winter days we have.
Denmark isn't in the Scandinavian peninsula. The northwest of Finland is. Iceland didn't even try. "Scandinavia" is a historic/cultural term if anything. (Look at Estonia or Latvia. Not included but should they be, after all?)
If I may correct a one fact about renewable energy. The biggest renewable energy resource used in Finland is forest industrys side products. So basically they burn the left over wood for energy. And after spending a half year exchange student period in France I have to say I feel like living in the movie back to the Future when I will leave back to Finland.😁
Hey, A finn here. There are also us non-traditional finns who hate cold weather, are miserable, don't drink coffee, don't do saunas, don't watch hockey or any racing car stuff. I do like heavy metal though! ;-)
No. For heating, renewable energy is around 35-40% and in power production it's about 50%. Large part is hydroelectric production. There is a lot for wind power projects all the time, but most of them get cancelled before building. Strict environmental acts limit where such plants can be placed. For overall use, i think efficiency makes the difference to many countries.
Was about to comment this. Hydroelectricity is the largest part on Finlands renewable energy production, covering 19% of all electricity production in Finland in 2018.
Finland is not Nordic only because of the location. There're also the hundreds of years of being a part of Sweden (Finland's independence is only a fraction of the time spent as a part of Sweden, how could it not have any effect?), the Nordic cross flag, the Nordic culture (including the heavy social security and equality, and consequently high taxes), and other things. If all Finns suddenly started to speak only Swedish, I doubt a random person from far away, like China, could tell the countries apart at all.
Thanks for the info! I tried to do my best with the research. This is super interesting to me. Can you share a link where I could read more about it? Thanks!
I think your numbers on our energy production are a bit misleading. It's 38 % renewables if you include peat and wood, which technically might be renewable but definitely are not eco-friendly, because peat is actually worse than coal emissions-wise and burning wood still has its CO2-emissions. Hydro (5 %) and wind (1 %) are the only green renewables we have, but fortunately nuclear power (18 %) brings up the number of green power considerably. Solar isn't a thing really, which might not be very surprising for you after seeing how the winters are here. I also believe that in efforts to decarbonize our energy production, we have to rely heavily on nuclear power and wind is a good second option. Hydro cannot be expanded and while green, it isn't eco-friendly either, because it ruins the local ecosystems.
Wood is zero-sum. It grows back all the time, whether you wanted or not. Or actually it's not even exactly zero-sum in Finland because agriculture is suffering and more or more farms are turning their crops fields and pastures into tree fields, that is, forests. The forest coverage in Finland is increasing, which means more carbon is tied into it. Ask any person who has seen the change in the countryside in the last few decades.
@@herrakaarme Thanks for the info! Where can I find that information? That would be interesting thing to cover. When I did the research I didn't find anything about it.
@@TootsieBlabber Hmm... I don't quite understand what info specifically you are referring to. If you are referring to the agriculture, then after joining the EU, the number of farms in Finland has dropped dramatically, year by year. It has been partly compensated by the remaining ones growing larger, but not nearly fully in my understanding. The farms could have also become non-functioning in crops/milk/meat production and concentrated on forests. I imagine in the southern Finland the chance is not that big as it's naturally the best part of Finland for growing anything (but reindeers). Finland has always been covered by forests, being one of the most forest rich countries in the world (relatively), so the change might not be so dramatic if you only look at numbers.
Actually it was New Zealand who gave women the right to vote first but Finland was to the first country to give women the chance to be elected to the parliament
That dog will never disturb your videos. She will be a sweet addition to your videos! I've had 2 Bernese Mountain Dogs in my family. Dog person! Oh so Croatia! I couldn't pick any accent in your Easter rhyme! Is your native language Croatian? Does it help with Finnish sounds? The languages I have found easiest to say their words (as a Finn) are Japanese, Spanish and Italian.
@@TootsieBlabber Have you also heard that people lose the ability to hear foreign language sounds right very young? It's not really about the hearing, it's that the brains start to interpret sounds of speech. Foreign language words are by brains changed to sounds of your native language. Thus adult people seldom sound like native speakers, even if they become completely fluent. But their kids can pick one or more languages and sound like natives. www.parentingcounts.org/information/timeline/recognition-of-sounds-of-own-language-complete-may-have-difficulty-discriminating-certain-sounds-of-foreign-languages-later-in-l/
@@TootsieBlabber Yeah, darn brains! But who knows, maybe with good practising one could add new pieces to the map. Kinda makes me think does it work with music that way, too. Because notes keep repeating the same.
I copy paste here a comment from some other youtube channel about some finn. Cant remember exactly where but I saved it. Just in case some think they could learn the language. I claim there exists non who master the finnish language, especially not among finns. And yes he missed a few so this is not all. But it makes a good joke though it’s for real, so it really isn’t a joke. English: A dog. Swedish: What? English: The dog. English: Two dogs. Swedish: Okay.

Swedish: Breath!! German: Whattaaa? English: Okay, now you're just making things up! Finnish: And now the plural forms.....
But if those words were translated to english there would be more words for each finnish word. Like koirattani is "without my dog" and koirannekokaan.. well I can't even translate that for sure, but I try: "I wonder if not your (plural) dog" or something like that I think. It is very often to have a negative after -kaan ending word. I'm not even familiar with our own grammar, but I know how to speak it :D
Yes that is why machine translation has failed so far and partly why it is almost impossible to find anything with google in Finnish. What I do if I want to buy something in finland is that I try Google in swedish and read about the different products in sweden. Then when I find the product I want I use the product code and combine it with e.g. hinta. Chances are that a product sold in sweden also can be found here. If one tries to find it directly in Finnish all results from google goes to Suomi 24 keskustelu, totally useless.
Just found you, nice :) Have you noticed that in many restaurants every item might have a small G, L or both to indicate gluten and lactose safe/free..
Hi, f you have lactose intolerance, you will still be able to eat dairy products in your home country. In Finland, good bacteria are killed and pasteurized from milk.
I've heard about it earlier, went to Croatia, had some good old milk and went to toilet after 15min. There are several types of intolerances and if you have the stronger one, like me, no milk in the world can help you :D
This was fun, thanks. Two points: 1. Regarding drinking lots of coffee -- it is probably not true that we Nordics die if we drink too little and our blood turns red, but why risk it? Check coffee health effects on Wikipedia -- it is healthy. :-) (OK ok ok, ten cups might be overboard. :-) ) 2. Regarding allergies... I worked in Finland a few years and had real problems. Marking for lactose etc are good. But markings for us nut allergic people were really bad. Regularly, you found translated content on food that ignored to note that the food could have nut traces. I was sick a lot. Otherwise, I would still work there, loved the place. Edit of spelling.
Recycling criteria are weird wherever you go. I can do it in Finland just fine, but I was totally lost with the rules in Japan. I was okay with cartons and such, but the different classes of plastic versus biodegradable really threw me.
Must remember in Finland. Finns have moved, many families, children - mothers wage war already in the 1800s and after the 1920s millions. Australia, Sweden, US (many Alaska), New Zealand, Germany, GB, Canda, Russia, Japan, China, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Switzerland, Austria. When there is support for all, the Finnish genus is the one with the same blood family of 120 million. all countries. Only 5.5 million people live in Finland. And, Finland has been part of Sweden, Russia, and a strong bond, US, Germany, GB etc.
2:14 In fact only 5.2 percent of the population speaks Swedish as their native language in Finland. Still we have to learn Swedish in the comprehensive school although many would like to change Swedish to optional language. I think most of the people actually still can't speak it because they never need it. Here's some statistics to native languages in Finland: (2017/ Wikipedia) Finnish: 88% of the population Swedish: 5.2% Russian: 1.40% Sami: 0.04% others: 5.4% Anyway, really interesting video.
Actually New Zealand was the first country in the world which all women had the right to vote in, but not to stand for, parliamentary elections in 1893, followed closely by the colony of South Australia in 1894 (which, unlike New Zealand, allowed women to stand for Parliament). Finland was the first country in Europe.
I speak English at work. To be honest, it’s not the easiest to find job in English. But it’s not mission impossible. Finland desperately needs foreign workers, so I’m sure it’ll improve in the near future. 😊
The Western part of Finnish Lapland/Käsivarsi is part of Scandinavian Peninsula. Swedish is 2nd official language. Without Finland's efforts in WW2... Stalin was heading towards nickel in Norway. So, its not 100% clear if Finland is in Scandinavia or not.
You are right to question if Finland is in Scandinavia, because Swedes tell you that the right term is Nordisk/Nordic nation. Its a funny debate i had in Australia with Scandinavians... it took 6 hours and some beers... 🍺😎
Actually northwest of finland is part of scandinavia, but as the rest on finland isn't, we cannot consider this as a scandinavian country but rather part of fennoscandia

Correction (when youtubers talk about facts they should be correct) Women's right to vote in Finland wasn't first in the WORLD, but first in EUROPE. Isle of the Man and New Zealand were the first in the world to be correct ;)
Ofcourse they are so happy. They are a homogeneous country. There is no conflict between races/religions/cultures. Try putting 11 languages. More than 10 cultures and different races alltogether like my country it wont be rated as happy anymore. Too much tension between each other
Finland was not the first country in the world to give both men and women the right to vote. It was the first country in Europe. The first country in the world was New Zealand who gave men and women the right to vote in 1893. And Australia was the second country in the world in 1902. Finland was the third country in the world to give both men and women the right to vote.
"New Zealand was the first self-governing country in the world in which all women had the right to vote in, but not to stand for, parliamentary elections in 1893." "In 1906, the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland, which became the republic of Finland, was the second country in the world to implement both the right to vote and the right to run for office. The world's first female members of parliament were elected in Finland in 1907". Source: Wikipedia - Timeline of women's suffrage.
OMG you are so beautiful and positive! Your eyes are amazing and you speak VERY good english! I think that many Finnish people don`t appreciate the good things here enough. I`m Fin and I`m happy! :D
@@TootsieBlabber well that 2 million might be true these days... because younger generations, don't have as much Summer places as previous generations... And more and more people is living in "cities"... And it's more common that in smaller apartment buildings, more often have 1 or more "public" sauna for residents of that apartment building or complex.. Like where I live.. Although many/most apartments also has sauna in every home ... if it even little larger than "studio" or 1 bedroom apartment... Me personally don't even like sauna that much.... Please don't tell anyone... 🤔 🤣
There is not he or she but there is like over 10 words for hän, sinä, minä and almost every word, depending from the dialect/area in Finland you are living in haha.
Well, happiness is a really subjective thing so it's almost impossible to measure on a large scale. Our society gives us the freedom to be as happy as we want because of safety and personal freedom of choice, but being depressed and unhappy most likely comes from the harsh weather and the culture being so individualistic. People from - let's say - Colombia might feel subjectively happier because they have a greater emphasis on community and they have probably adjusted to living with less than us.
Mica - No, we most definitely aren't. Whenever we feel this ever-pressing urge to clump Finland together with the Scandinavia, we'll call the result Fennoscandia. Your elementary school teacher taught you this. In general, and here in particular, those blue-eyed angels from the Republic of Croatia tend to know what they're talking about.
That lake fact is not a fact. Finland has counted them in smaller spects. Canada has the most and many many times more lakes than Finland, even Sweden and of course Russia has more lakes, but they haven't counted them.
@@TootsieBlabber Finland has the most lakes according the official counting. If for example, Sweden would count their lakes like Finland (only country in the world that has counted tiny lakes too) they would have more lakes according size of the country. But officially Finland has the most lakes, because Finland has simply counted more of them 😅
In Australia the women's right to vote included neither all the States, all elections nor even all the women. Also the women could not stand for election. That's why Australia hardly counts. In New Zealand women were allowed to vote but not to stand for election.
One of the reasons why Finland ends up being high on the list of happiest countries is the tendency for the unhappy ones to either "self checkout" or drink their sadness away.
I'm so tired of hearing that Finnish people are the happiest in the world. People are really bad here! The happiness meter does not take into account people's well-being, but the state's
The happiest country? No, this graph straight up lies. Our suicide rate rivals Japan, that's how happy we are. Also, happiness cannot be measured in numbers, and I expect these arbitrary figures to plummet after the recent immigrant influx.
Let's keep the facts right. In Europe countries like France, Belgium, Switzerland have higher suicide rate than Finland (16th in Europe). The suicide rate in Japan is a lot higher. Source: www.who.int/gho/mental_health/suicide_rates_crude/en/ The UN Happiness Report is based on both statistics and personal interviews, Finland was ranked on the top again this year.
Finland's suicide rates have gone drasticly down in 30 years. Are you still living in The 90's. Watch The video "Suicide rates in the world/Country suicide rates comparison." 62 highest suicide countries and Finland is not even mentioned. The highest suicide countries are: The 1st Lithuania, the 2 nd Russia and the 3 rd South Korea. Japan is still among them

"Nordic" actually doesn't just mean a country in northern Europe. "Nordic" comes from the Scandinavian term "Norden" (The North), but it's actually used to separate countries with ethnocultural ties to Scandinavia from other countries in the north. Finland and Iceland are Nordic because a bunch of Scandinavians settled in both countries, and both were once part of one of the Scandinavian countries. Also the Nordic region, including Finland is a very culturally unified area (the laws, people's values, political views, traditions, foods etc. are largely the same in all the countries). So countries like Russia for example are not Nordic, because there's a notable cultural and ethnic difference.
Thanks for the info. 😊

Oldest Finnish word for a tent is kota - the like the Sámi most often still use, when out in the open. 'Home' is now koti, older form koto (now poetic, affective, and with inflectional forms of koti).

When it comes to electric power, renewable is mostly wind and water since sun is not something we have when power is most needed, ie. winter.
The non-renewable is likely mostly nuclear - unlike some other countries that have tried to shutdown all nuclear (notably Sweden and Germany), Finland is even now waiting for another reactor to be ready and come online. Otoh we take very well care of them, has of the most earthquake safe grounds in the world and do for example 300 meter deep caverns in rock to store endproducts.
How do you feel about the nuclear power?
@@TootsieBlabber I would like to think it is the cleanest base-power we have at the moment, until a viable alternative is available (fusion?).. Unfortunately renewables are either limited (waterways) or unreliable (sun and wind that depends on weather).
I rather see a well handled nuclear powerplant than same capacity coal one for the time being. No perfect solution.
Perhaps giant solar collectors in orbit.. ?
Giant solar collectors in orbit sound freaking COOL! I'm pretty sure there'll be something like that in our near/far future. :)
Bottle/can-recycling: some time back i recycled 'some' cans. Got 100€ and buy a phone to son.
Wooow! Good job! 😊 We do have the same system in Croatia but not in every grocery store, only in big super markets. Big thumbs up for recycling!
Well, yeah, but in Antarctica they have measured -93,2 C, so -51,5 is really not that cold :-) Seriously, in south we don't even go below -20 every winter anymore. I think hot summers are a bigger problem than the few chilly winter days we have.
I totally agree but coming from Croatia -51 is daaaamn cold 😂
Gud vid, hope you'll have such great time in Finland :D
Thanks a lot! 😊
Lovely video! Thanks! 😃😄
Thanks Tuija! 😊
Nice videos! Finnish people love to know what people coming from other countries think about them. So you will have no trouble to get followers. :)

Denmark isn't in the Scandinavian peninsula. The northwest of Finland is. Iceland didn't even try. "Scandinavia" is a historic/cultural term if anything. (Look at Estonia or Latvia. Not included but should they be, after all?)

If I may correct a one fact about renewable energy. The biggest renewable energy resource used in Finland is forest industrys side products. So basically they burn the left over wood for energy. And after spending a half year exchange student period in France I have to say I feel like living in the movie back to the Future when I will leave back to Finland.😁
Thanks for correcting me! 😊

Hey, A finn here. There are also us non-traditional finns who hate cold weather, are miserable, don't drink coffee, don't do saunas, don't watch hockey or any racing car stuff. I do like heavy metal though! ;-)
Yeah, those are called swedes.
Yap! :D I've met some of you guys. Heavy metal ftw!
@@ahmo2 Not true
No. For heating, renewable energy is around 35-40% and in power production it's about 50%. Large part is hydroelectric production. There is a lot for wind power projects all the time, but most of them get cancelled before building. Strict environmental acts limit where such plants can be placed. For overall use, i think efficiency makes the difference to many countries.
Was about to comment this. Hydroelectricity is the largest part on Finlands renewable energy production, covering 19% of all electricity production in Finland in 2018.
My research went wrong 😂 thanks for the info!!
Hello,
I worked in Finland during the 1980s. A very fascinating culture a people.
You are beautiful before the camera.
Walter Thorne Thank you very much 🙂
Finland is not Nordic only because of the location. There're also the hundreds of years of being a part of Sweden (Finland's independence is only a fraction of the time spent as a part of Sweden, how could it not have any effect?), the Nordic cross flag, the Nordic culture (including the heavy social security and equality, and consequently high taxes), and other things. If all Finns suddenly started to speak only Swedish, I doubt a random person from far away, like China, could tell the countries apart at all.
Thanks for the info! I tried to do my best with the research. This is super interesting to me. Can you share a link where I could read more about it? Thanks!
I think your numbers on our energy production are a bit misleading. It's 38 % renewables if you include peat and wood, which technically might be renewable but definitely are not eco-friendly, because peat is actually worse than coal emissions-wise and burning wood still has its CO2-emissions.
Hydro (5 %) and wind (1 %) are the only green renewables we have, but fortunately nuclear power (18 %) brings up the number of green power considerably. Solar isn't a thing really, which might not be very surprising for you after seeing how the winters are here. I also believe that in efforts to decarbonize our energy production, we have to rely heavily on nuclear power and wind is a good second option. Hydro cannot be expanded and while green, it isn't eco-friendly either, because it ruins the local ecosystems.
I tried to make a good quality research but it's possible I found wrong information. Thanks for the update though! 😊🙈
@@TootsieBlabber No problem. Great video otherwise!
Wood is zero-sum. It grows back all the time, whether you wanted or not. Or actually it's not even exactly zero-sum in Finland because agriculture is suffering and more or more farms are turning their crops fields and pastures into tree fields, that is, forests. The forest coverage in Finland is increasing, which means more carbon is tied into it. Ask any person who has seen the change in the countryside in the last few decades.
@@herrakaarme Thanks for the info! Where can I find that information? That would be interesting thing to cover. When I did the research I didn't find anything about it.
@@TootsieBlabber Hmm... I don't quite understand what info specifically you are referring to. If you are referring to the agriculture, then after joining the EU, the number of farms in Finland has dropped dramatically, year by year. It has been partly compensated by the remaining ones growing larger, but not nearly fully in my understanding. The farms could have also become non-functioning in crops/milk/meat production and concentrated on forests. I imagine in the southern Finland the chance is not that big as it's naturally the best part of Finland for growing anything (but reindeers).
Finland has always been covered by forests, being one of the most forest rich countries in the world (relatively), so the change might not be so dramatic if you only look at numbers.
Actually it was New Zealand who gave women the right to vote first but Finland was to the first country to give women the chance to be elected to the parliament

Oh so Croatia! I couldn't pick any accent in your Easter rhyme! Is your native language Croatian? Does it help with Finnish sounds? The languages I have found easiest to say their words (as a Finn) are Japanese, Spanish and Italian.
My native language is Croatian, yes. 😊 I've heard that people who have good hearing can imitate languages well. Maybe I'm among them 😎
@@TootsieBlabber Have you also heard that people lose the ability to hear foreign language sounds right very young? It's not really about the hearing, it's that the brains start to interpret sounds of speech. Foreign language words are by brains changed to sounds of your native language. Thus adult people seldom sound like native speakers, even if they become completely fluent. But their kids can pick one or more languages and sound like natives. www.parentingcounts.org/information/timeline/recognition-of-sounds-of-own-language-complete-may-have-difficulty-discriminating-certain-sounds-of-foreign-languages-later-in-l/

Swedish: Breath!!
German: Whattaaa?
English: Okay, now you're just making things up!
Finnish: And now the plural forms.....
Oh my!! That is a great one! I'll save this one too. 😂
😂😂😂
But if those words were translated to english there would be more words for each finnish word. Like koirattani is "without my dog" and koirannekokaan.. well I can't even translate that for sure, but I try: "I wonder if not your (plural) dog" or something like that I think. It is very often to have a negative after -kaan ending word. I'm not even familiar with our own grammar, but I know how to speak it :D
Yes that is why machine translation has failed so far and partly why it is almost impossible to find anything with google in Finnish. What I do if I want to buy something in finland is that I try Google in swedish and read about the different products in sweden.
Then when I find the product I want I use the product code and combine it with e.g. hinta. Chances are that a product sold in sweden also can be found here.
If one tries to find it directly in Finnish all results from google goes to Suomi 24 keskustelu, totally useless.

Hi, f you have lactose intolerance, you will still be able to eat dairy products in your home country. In Finland, good bacteria are killed and pasteurized from milk.
I've heard about it earlier, went to Croatia, had some good old milk and went to toilet after 15min. There are several types of intolerances and if you have the stronger one, like me, no milk in the world can help you :D
Hi
What a shame. Fortunately there are many lactose-free products in Finland. 😊
cat Oh yes! Plus, I’m trying to drink/eat more vegan products, which is even better and healthier 🙂
This was fun, thanks. Two points:
1. Regarding drinking lots of coffee -- it is probably not true that we Nordics die if we drink too little and our blood turns red, but why risk it? Check coffee health effects on Wikipedia -- it is healthy. :-) (OK ok ok, ten cups might be overboard. :-) )
2. Regarding allergies... I worked in Finland a few years and had real problems. Marking for lactose etc are good. But markings for us nut allergic people were really bad. Regularly, you found translated content on food that ignored to note that the food could have nut traces. I was sick a lot. Otherwise, I would still work there, loved the place.
Edit of spelling.
Thanks a lot and thanks for the points! 😊
Recycling criteria are weird wherever you go. I can do it in Finland just fine, but I was totally lost with the rules in Japan. I was okay with cartons and such, but the different classes of plastic versus biodegradable really threw me.
Wou! So Japan is even more advanced when it comes to recycling 👏👏
Must remember in Finland. Finns have moved, many families, children - mothers wage war already in the 1800s and after the 1920s millions. Australia, Sweden, US (many Alaska), New Zealand, Germany, GB, Canda, Russia, Japan, China, Norway, Denmark, Poland, Switzerland, Austria. When there is support for all, the Finnish genus is the one with the same blood family of 120 million. all countries. Only 5.5 million people live in Finland. And, Finland has been part of Sweden, Russia, and a strong bond, US, Germany, GB etc.

2:14 In fact only 5.2 percent of the population speaks Swedish as their native language in Finland. Still we have to learn Swedish in the comprehensive school although many would like to change Swedish to optional language. I think most of the people actually still can't speak it because they never need it.
Here's some statistics to native languages in Finland: (2017/ Wikipedia)
Finnish: 88% of the population
Swedish: 5.2%
Russian: 1.40%
Sami: 0.04%
others: 5.4%

Actually New Zealand was the first country in the world which all women had the right to vote in, but not to stand for, parliamentary elections in 1893, followed closely by the colony of South Australia in 1894 (which, unlike New Zealand, allowed women to stand for Parliament). Finland was the first country in Europe.
Thanks for the info! :) My bad.
Was it hard to find a good job there without speaking Finnish? Do you speak English at work?
I speak English at work. To be honest, it’s not the easiest to find job in English. But it’s not mission impossible. Finland desperately needs foreign workers, so I’m sure it’ll improve in the near future. 😊
The Western part of Finnish Lapland/Käsivarsi is part of Scandinavian Peninsula. Swedish is 2nd official language. Without Finland's efforts in WW2... Stalin was heading towards nickel in Norway. So, its not 100% clear if Finland is in Scandinavia or not.

Finland was not the first country in the world to give both men and women the right to vote. It was the first country in Europe. The first country in the world was New Zealand who gave men and women the right to vote in 1893. And Australia was the second country in the world in 1902. Finland was the third country in the world to give both men and women the right to vote.
My bad 🙈
"New Zealand was the first self-governing country in the world in which all women had the right to vote in, but not to stand for, parliamentary elections in 1893."
"In 1906, the autonomous Grand Duchy of Finland, which became the republic of Finland, was the second country in the world to implement both the right to vote and the right to run for office. The world's first female members of parliament were elected in Finland in 1907". Source: Wikipedia - Timeline of women's suffrage.

We objectify people in our speech in Finland, calling them "it" (se) instead of she/he (hän). That's how it goes in everyday language here at least.
Finland is clean and safe place but we sure are not the happiest people in the world.
Yeah sorta leaves you wondering how miserable the other countries are.
Well, happiness is a really subjective thing so it's almost impossible to measure on a large scale. Our society gives us the freedom to be as happy as we want because of safety and personal freedom of choice, but being depressed and unhappy most likely comes from the harsh weather and the culture being so individualistic. People from - let's say - Colombia might feel subjectively happier because they have a greater emphasis on community and they have probably adjusted to living with less than us.

New Zealand was first country to allow women the right to vote in 1893 followed by Australia in 1902.
Oh, sorry for the wrong info. I'm proud of you guys!
She meant in Europe !
Finland gave women full political rights, as in the right to stand for election as well as vote.
Yes, but like Elina said. Full rights so women could also apply for the office.
In Australia the women's right to vote included neither all the States, all elections nor even all the women. Also the women could not stand for election. That's why Australia hardly counts.
In New Zealand women were allowed to vote but not to stand for election.
Not 2 million anymore its 3.3 😅
That grew fast!! :D
Or did finland CAUSE you celiacia and lactose intolerance 🤔
Anyway good to se you like it here :)
Thanks! 😊 Doctors said I probably have it since I was born. They found it like a month after I moved here. 🎉
@Tearjerker I haven't mutated 😌
You are very beautiful
One of the reasons why Finland ends up being high on the list of happiest countries is the tendency for the unhappy ones to either "self checkout" or drink their sadness away.
Could be an interesting theory xD
Check your facts Ana. 🙄🙄🙄
I did my best Timo 😊. I'll try harder next time 😎
I'm so tired of hearing that Finnish people are the happiest in the world. People are really bad here! The happiness meter does not take into account people's well-being, but the state's
The happiest country? No, this graph straight up lies. Our suicide rate rivals Japan, that's how happy we are. Also, happiness cannot be measured in numbers, and I expect these arbitrary figures to plummet after the recent immigrant influx.
I used facts based on the research I found online. 😊
Sorry you are wrong. Check the link I posted above. It's almost on the same level like Sweden, Germany and Switzerland.
Let's keep the facts right. In Europe countries like France, Belgium, Switzerland have higher suicide rate than Finland (16th in Europe). The suicide rate in Japan is a lot higher. Source: www.who.int/gho/mental_health/suicide_rates_crude/en/
The UN Happiness Report is based on both statistics and personal interviews, Finland was ranked on the top again this year.
Finland's suicide rates have gone drasticly down in 30 years. Are you still living in The 90's.
Watch The video "Suicide rates in the world/Country suicide rates comparison."
62 highest suicide countries and Finland is not even mentioned.
The highest suicide countries are: The 1st Lithuania, the 2 nd Russia and the 3 rd South Korea. Japan is still among them
@@blackcoffeebeans6100 we disguise our suicides as natural causes. You may be right about my poor stats and stuck in the 90s. I was pretty hard drunk 2 years ago, didn't delve too deep.
Annoying American accent
Can't help it 😀 tried to speak British but it's not working
