💚💚💚💃💃💃💚💚💚

It is a fairlycommon thing when Finns speak English. Not all of them speak English that way but many of them do. I've been going back and forth to Finland for decades already and still I love it everytime I hear it.

You're gonna live forever...

Not taking yourself too serious is the secret I think xD

They crazy, they partii

@@Kotifilosofi definitely! But also your view of other people and yourself. Don’t take everything so seriously and don’t think high of yourself and anyone. It’s kind of what we here in Denmark have called janteloven. I don’t know if finns have something similar but they seems to be very down to earth but also hilariously funny.

also do note that they have some of the highest suicide rates in the world so you could also argue that all the sad people die so only the "happy" ones are left.

@@Rikke92571 that's interesting! What's the literal translation of janteloven?

But he can FINNISH a sentence....

@@hscorner3829 Finnish him

Also the conjugation of words. Idk what speaking english does to him but I want what he's on too

English is incredibly hard to pronounce for Finnish speakers, that's the biggest problem.

He should be everyone's inspiration

He really helped me to overcome my fear of speaking wrong english in front of others who can speak it very well. I think many people have the problem that they do understand a lot of english because of movies or memes on the internet but aren't used to speak it, so they fail succesfully in speaking it even though they understand a lot.

And he has improved so much in just few weeks!!

@@Helena-sg5st That is so true for me too, 100%. I can read and listen to english perfectly fine, and write ok too, but talking ... not so much, that's a totally different story. I'm glad he can represent everyone in the same situation, and good for you overcoming your fear :) I believe most people may be better than they think, but are afraid of sounding stupid and being judged. That's the case for me at least. Luckily käärijä is super charming, which helps a lot, haha :) More people should learn from this guy, and not care so much what other people think.

​@@mihaela52 yes, here 1:03 he says "party" perfectly, in the end of his song in the grand final he says "parrrti" with heavy accent on purpose.

You can do it!

Trust me, your english is better than any english person's attempt speaking at any other language.... including english - an English person.

Dw most people in England don't speak English properly, that's what our accent is made of lol

He pronounced language exactly how it's spelled and I think that's how it should be pronounced from now on

Finnish is a phonetic language so every letter is pronounced the same way every time. He said it like it would be read in finnish lol (as a finn I'm guilty of doing the same thing)

​@@stinkyboy serbian is the same type of language and im feeling this to my bones

Lan-ku-ake 😂

He pronounced it how it's written, letter by letter without applying the rules of English pronunciation. It's not hard to grasp why non fluent speakers pronounce English words like that.

He has the best and most adorable english I have ever heard!

I would love to see the jump in the amount of duolingo Finnish learners

Cringe. Mega cringe

@@jaajoo1660 just like you.

​@Katia Cienciala As someone who got encouraged to keep learning Italian due to Måneskin, I can tell you: there will be a flood. Like at one point, we all gathered in a comment section and gave our Duolingo accounts to keep an eye on each other lol.

Hah. Good luck - Native finnish speaker, who can safely say that finnish *sucks*

same😂

SAME IT'S KINDA SCARY

SAME

Absolutely 😁

he definitely deserves the support, don’t stop 😂

I speak excellent English but somehow I'm proud when we send people who don't speak English much at all like Patrik Laine and Käärijä to represent us abroad. It feels good, like how Japanese and French people don't need to speak English. It feels like a privilege to only need to speak your own language while being a world champion in something. Finnish rally drivers are famously bad at English and it's an example of this too, although they actually often speak very good English, just the pronounciation is very Finnish. I also know many university researchers whose pronounciation is horrible... I almost feel proud of it. They're still excellent in their field and speak professional academic English, just with very Finnish accent. I almost feel like a simp for speaking English so good.

I am not sure if this is the case. I mean if the reason behind the difficulty is that finnish is pronounced exactly how you spell it. Greeks also pronounce words the way they are spelled but they don't do the same mistakes. However, they have one of the worst accents when speaking English. Finnish accent in english is so cute

Lang Ooo Ha Ge

Same with serbian/croatian, we speak the same we write

Does it also have something to do with English stress patterns? As a native English speaker there are some words that I've known all my life and still if you asked me to say them out loud I'd stumble over which syllables to stress. Is that an added challenge because Finnish stress patterns follow much stricter rules?

its crazy its fiesta

​@@sonjamikaela1277 very fitting too 😂😂😂

@@sonjamikaela1277 It's loco, it's party 😸

It’s because both have the exact same struggle

FR YEAH

It’s made my 2023

I AM BECAUSE HE IS MY DEITY

I actually already started 😂

Finnish is f*** hard to learn.

Good luck! It's easy when it comes to pronouncing words, but learning proper grammar can be quite difficult.

started german for rammstein, now it's finnish turn i guess 😂

That's because the languages are related very distantly! There's some super old common ancestor that Finnish and Hungarian people share so it has traveled through pronunciation

Same for Polish! 'Language' was spot on how a polish person would try to pronounce it.

I just thought the same. Especially when he pronounced lan-gu-a-ge just like I do sometimes 🤣

@@THEcowboy367 Yes, now that heard some finnish expressions, I am totally convinced that our language is related. There are some words that are almost the same

​@@THEcowboy367 Finnish and Hungarian grammar is eerily similar even though none of the words are the same!

He is officially your country's national treasure 😂❤ we love him here in the UK

same! his personality honestly so captivating no one can resist😂

His personality won me over .. I'd love to have him as a friend 🤣

@@MrWereWolfGirl SAME For me it's like: I'm not a party person, but he sounds like he's the funniest guy at parties and I'd sure as hell come if he was there haha

Same! Croatian geniuses are my first ones though

@@barbarad3869 Croatia honestly grew on me too, it's not my type of song but it's such a drugtrip that I can't help but like it anyways

I am almost certain he said that word like that on purpose - or maybe not? Kudos to him anyway for his fearless communication

Thats exactly how you would pronounce the word ”language” if it was a Finnish word 😅

@@reettas2556 oh lol😂

it's how it would be pronounced if it was finnish. and also the only reason i know how to spell the word, cuz i pronounce it like it's spelled.

​@@evamuhlbauer4575 I think he pronounced it like that because he knew he couldn't pronounce it right. That way you could at least recognise the word and understand it. (Längvits would be the alternative)

Ooh which languages so you speak?

@@TayaRamadan-wy1fz romanian, german, english and hungarian is my mother tounge

@@batmansparents3408 the fact that you know 4 languages, you are (both) Batman`s parents and you have Double Trouble on your avatar, makes this comment beautifully chaotic.

@@batmansparents3408 Oh are you from Transylvania? If yes, do a lot of people there speak Hungarian?

@@TayaRamadan-wy1fz Yes I am! It depends on the region, but where I'm from it's mostly 50%-50% (hun-ro) plus we have a several romani communities. But there are counties where I suppose about 90% of the population is hungarian (especially in Székelyföld, I don't know if you're familiar with this term), nevertheless there several places without any hungarian citizens, or so little that it isn't worth mentioning.

You'll be drunker than a Finn on midsummer night

Swedish is an official language of Finland, so it's not that crazy, but it's always cute.

@@soul4speech583 Most basically sleep through their obligatory classes in school and couldn't find a toilet in Sweden without resorting to English, though, so him being that good at it _is_ somewhat noteworthy.

@@broadbandislife the vocabulary he uses in swedish here is basically just all of the words people who sleep through mandatory swedish know though lol. most finns just use english in sweden because swedes make fun of the way we pronounce swedish since we get taught finnish-swedish and not 'real' swedish.

​@@stinks7065As a Swede I'm actually sad to hear that you get treated that way. I admire anyone speaking Swedish when they come here, especially if they've just learnt it at school. That's like me speaking German (not very well), I know how it feels lol.

@@stinks7065 just a thought. finnish-swedish is real swedish too tho and works perfectly well in sweden. i however (as a finnish-swede) find it funny when i speak perfect swedish in sweden and the locals try to speak finnish with me or ask me how i learned swedish.

Same😩

You understand him because when he speaks, he also speaks in vibes. And the vibes are good! 😊

He understands the language quite well, from what I've seen he fairly rarely asks for translation. He just doesn't speak well, because he never had to. He said so in interviews, his only use of English before this were English speakers asking for kitchen equipment. This is common, but unlike most people in his position, Jere is not afraid to try anyway 💕

Start learning Finnish (or a different language if you are Finnish, couldn't tell from your username lol). I guarantee you can experience what it's like trying to speak a language you are not familiar with at all plus you get to keep your fluent English

I fucking love Ismo his comedy is some funny ass shit 😆

Ismo ❤️❤️❤️

@@thrasherdave1428 noni.

​@@thrasherdave1428yeah, that's the shit

Sama ja sama! (Same and same!)
