How come so many finnish people speak swedish? As a truck driver i often load and unload at terminals around the route i drive and everytime i meet a finnish trucker or something we either greet in swedish or if he or i need help we speak swedish

You are the same all Norse Men

Hyva Suomi ❤❤❤

4:13 Yeah, that sounds pretty threatening allright.

I'm English and have just been to Copenhagen. I tried some phrase book Danish and a waiter said I sounded like someone from the Faroe Islands...

Absolutely spot on! Lived in Denmark for awhile and I love the differences and similarities among Nordic countries, especially languages.

why is this so fucking funny to scandis haha.

Finns be summoning Väinämöinen when saying "I love you"

Faroe Islands understands you

As a finn one time I woke up after hard nigh of drinking swede under me and norwegian over me. I was the only male.

Am I the only one perceiving Finnish language as very sweet? When my female friends talk, to me it sounds like Japanese.

Ari Eldjárn sounds finnish

Minute 2:00, he is talking about Lars Ulrich, the metal drummer

My own experience with Danish English was very positive. I'm an American who loves languages but doesn't speak any Scandinavian language. Years ago I was in Copenhagen and needed to get something at the local convenience store near my hotel. So I got out my phrasebook and tried to figure out how to ask for what I wanted in Danish. (I hate the rude tourists who start speaking English to everyone, no matter what country they're in.) When I got to the store, there was a teenage guy behind the counter. As I tried out my attempt at Danish, he smiled and said, "Actually, I speak English." And we proceeded that way. The thing is, his English sounded as if he had been born a kilometer from where I live! I was astonished. I suppose it's possible he had lived abroad, but I encountered similar situations with other Danes as well. Needless to say, this level of English was not what I found in countries that speak "big" languages like France, Italy, and Germany.

Does anyone know what he says at 1:26? I’m a tad bit curious 👀

this standup is a great way to learn cultural views with linguistics.

😂😂😂 I love this guy!! You should all speak Spanish, obviamente

What? An Icelandic stand up comedian? Now that is laughable in itself.

When Tolkien, an Oxford philologist, invented his _Quenya_ Elvish language for his _Lord of the Rings_ trilogy, _etal,_ he based it on Finnish. _Hmm. Makes a certain sense now._

Are Icelanders really broke?

Makkaraiset ranskanaisilla on todella hyvää.

Helarious!! But it is mäkäräinen,not maakarainen👍☺️

why is everyone so quiet? This is hilarios! Seems like that stereotype about Scandinavians is true

Absolutely brilliant! As a Bosnian-Herzegovinian myself, I think I can totally relate to this, given the multitude of the "Balkan" ex-YU languages, and I'm quite sure there's similar stand-up here in the region, too. I must say I rwally enjoyed watching this particularly as I have had a chance/orivilege of working with all the Nordics except for Icelanders, so hearing them speak their respective languages was like music to my ears (Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and Finnish, obviously).

This guy from Iceland is crap is crap is crap is crap I’m. Sorry but I did not find him funny then I’m a Scot and if it’s not Scottish it’s crap

He’s cute

An Icelander speaking English with a Danish accent? 😳

You made me laugh even though I have no idea of Nordic cultural nuances. Brilliant!

Danish is Swedish if SZA spoke it.

the way the finns write it is even funnier Mäkäräinen

As a Dane: This guy is right on point!

Notice they don't scream, unlike an American audience.

This guy is amazing, love from a brit😅

Mäkäräinen does not mean mosquito, it is a finnish name for a blackfly.

As an American who speaks and has lived in Sweden, I love Finnish. Such a badass people and language.

Is Finnish a Nordic language?

I dated a Finnish girl. She taught me the word "perkele" which you can use to scare bears with. ukposts.info/have/v-deo/smeQpIypgKmZ2XU.html&ab_channel=Vuusteri

His Danish sounded like a Finn speaking Swedish lol

the icelandic danish sounds actually pretty close to norwegian haha

Mosquito in finnish is actualy hyttynen

Most languages has about 15 different sounds. The Danish language has about 40 different sounds. That's why it's so difficult to learn and why everyone else thinks it sounds terrible.

Now I wish I was from Skandinavia 😂 But I was born a little too far south in Germany. Nearly though 😂

Iceland has only one neighbour: the Atlantic Ocean. The other Nordic Countries are far away from Iceland.

I like the stand up comedy, and I am learning english, but I don't imagen in any moment: Oh.. I am learning icelandic or vikings language..

It is ONLY in some parts of south east Norway they go up an octave at the end of a sentence and the rest of Norway make fun of them because it just sounds ridiculous...

When we meet, we should speak icelandic, like true vikings (not a thing but you know what I mean) A dane.

saatana perkele vittu mäkäräinen 🎶

Who is he?? I want to watch more his comedy!

"Undskyld, hvor er Rådhuspladsen?" as an English person who lived in Copenhagen for a while I am very happy I understood that. I also never really got a handle on the Danish accent. I'm learning Norwegian now because I have aspirations of becoming a ski jumper.

Why don’t you try your luck at learning a ROMANCE language, like Spanish or Italian, instead of focusing on the other North Germanic/Scandinavian languages, which are all the same?
