Lovely Finnish video by a lovely Finnish man.

"Trains in Finland arrive on time" ... 😂 I feel like Japan is way better in that regard

My Japanese teacher told me a story about her Finnish friend living and working in Japan. He met a woman in Japan and they got married and moved to Finland together. It was a funny situation because Mika is a male name in Finland and a female name in Japan. They were both called Mika and obviously had the same last name.

seeing foreign people living and enjoying life in finland has always been such a positive thing for me and i really love seeing channels and videos like yours!

"Ei" and "ie" are spelled in the opposite order in Finnish and Japanese, but mean the same.

My favorite word in Japanese. Kura, くら.. Kura in Finnish is mud (also used as adjective of something being "dirt"). Makes Kura Sushi really funny for Finns :D

I talked to a person from Finland last night online, I live in California. He was very chill and really helped me feel better, I have been having a hard time emotionally. They really seem like some of the best humans on the planet.

There are soooo many homonyms between Finnish and Japanese, and even more if you pretend L and R are the same thing (like kala/kara would sound pretty identical to Japanese ears, but they are two different words in Finnish). When I was on my exchange in Japan, I had to make a fun presentation for Japanese students, so I showcased to them “how much Finnish they already know”.

You should visit northern Finland during winter

[apupsa]

Finally in Finland! Tervetuloa!
One word in common that comes to mind would be Sora which is sky in Japanese, but means Gravel in Finnish

I must tell you about a one page comic I drew as a kid. There was a japanese tourist on a finnish beach, asking the locals there if it's safe to swim. He's greeted by a horde of terrified beach-goers running and screaming "HAI!", which he takes as confirmation :D

Im finnish and i can tell the results were wrong, you are at most 1% finnish because you smiled more times in this video than i have in my whole life! Jokes aside, nice video and i hope you enjoyed your stay, very cool that you learned some finnish language as well!

[jootumayra]

i love your pronounciation of finnish words <3 really hope that you have/had wonderful time here at Finland.

[annavanhala]

I'm so glad you liked Finland ❤ Please come again 🤗

[nikolaifailla]

So happy to see new videos from you again … your big, kind heart, your wit and joyful spirit are a priceless addition to YouTube!

[fmalovegirl]

Hold up, I wasn't expecting this kind of video from George haha. Happy to see you enjoying your stay, as a Finn seeing foreigners exploring Finland makes me happy 😸

Originally, the Finnish word 'savotta' referred to a logging site. In contemporary Finnish, however, its meaning has broadened metaphorically to denote any task that requires prolonged mental or physical effort. So if you'll call your spouse/friend that i'm at 'savotta' not mentioning it's the restauraunt, you are litterally avoiding work. There are lot of restaurants named like such like "Ylityö" (overwork), "Toimisto" (office), "Homma" (doing something) etc.

Swede here. Been to Finland a few times. Never though in the big cities but small villages. But I really love it there. Great country. Great people.

[SailorYuki]

Finland is safe, but don't leave your stuff unattended or you'll never see them again. It's interesting that you have 2% finnish heritage. I'm 100% Finnish, though born and raised in Sweden.
Gen Takagi is a Japanese youtuber who now lives in Finland and does all his videos in Finnish. A collab while you're in Finland would have been nice.

As a Finn I traveled to Japan this summer and I also noticed the similarities. And almost everyone in Finland hates the weather. If it’s 28 degrees Celsius then it’s too hot and 5 degrees Celsius is too cold. Winter is also pretty challenging since the sun sets down at 5:00 pm and rises at 9:00 am.
