Reaction to Geography Now! Sweden Part 1

In this video I react to Geography Now Sweden

On my channel I make Sweden Reation Videos, some people also call them Reaction to Sweden Videos or Swedish Reaction Videos. I cover especially Sweden Music Reaction Videos and Swedish Music Reaction Videos as well as Sweden Comedy Reaction Videos. I just love Swedish Comedy Reaction Videos. My favourite Sweden Comedy Reaction Videos are Robert Gustafsson Reaction Videos as well as Björn Gustafsson Reaction Videos. I also like Henrik Dorsin Reaction Videos and Grotesco Reaction Videos. A really warm place in my heart has the Nazisterna Reaction and the Parlamentet Reaction.

Why do people like you make multiple YouTube channels to react to different countries? Why not just have ONE channel?

To clarify something they got wrong in the video:
Allemansrätten (Right to roam, or directly translated to "Every mans right") does not only apply for "places owned by the county" as they said, but does indeed include privately owned land. But there are rules.

You are allowed to for example hike, ski, pick berries, mushroom, and fish(some places you need a fishing permit only to make sure no over fishing is done, but that is easy to get).
You can go for a ride in your boat basically wherever. But you cant leave it wherever. A lot of places you are required to pay for a boat "parking space".
You can also camp as long as you aren't staying an extended period of time since that could almost be like occupying the land and you are even allowed to make camp fires as long as there isn't a temporary fire ban but those are mostly issued during summer if there has been a dry period in the area to make sure there is no property or forest fires.
And you can do so much more!

But you are not allowed to litter, basically leave the place as you found it and do not make it worse.
You can't enter a fenced in area like livestock pastures and things like that.
You are not allowed to walk on land and fields used for growing crops during planting and growing season since it's basically destroying peoples property when you trample the seeds/crops.
You are not allowed to camp near residential buildings, walk around in someones backyard or tie your boat and go on shore on land that is part of someones plot.

And you are not allowed to harm animals, trees or pick endangered plants.

Us Swedes really value out outdoor life and our life as we know it wouldn't be possible without Allemansrätten!

The fact that in Sweden in the olden days the bread was mixed with wood shavings was not because they liked it, but because they were forced by necessity in order not to starve to death during years of poor growth - there were those who even ate hay and grass for to survive.

South had snow, but not necessarily every winter. I live in Göteborg and this year we had a decent amount of snow, but only for a short period of time. I see no snow at all here right now. Is quite different every winter.

[Poifoprill]

Glögg is basically mulled wine. But Julmust is something very special to Sweden and I'm not sure of a good way to describe it since it's very unique but it's a carbonaded drink and google says it's like a blend of cola and root beer but that is not very exact at all. But it is for sure a MUST(had to come back and edit in that I didn't even realize i made this pun until much later) in every Swedish household during christmas and easter. The Coca Cola sales actually drop by more than 50% during christmas and easter since everyone loves julmust/påskmust so much and don't buy a lot of other soft drinks.

The Law of Jante was actually formulated by the Danish-Norwegian author Aksel Sandemose and reflects the mentality of the small town i Denmark where he grew up.
K and G is softened when it is followed by E, I, Y, Ä or Ö. G is turning into J when softened, and K is turning into Tj (voiceless J, which is similar to German ich-laut, but not the same sound).

I have seen the runes at Haga Sophia! There is a plaque!

You'll find we have two main groups of vowels. Hard and soft vowels. Hard vowels are AOUÅ. Soft are EIYÄÖ.
Some nouns like K and G has two ways to be pronounced.
Example: Kök (Kitchen) is pronounced Tjök, Kaffe (Coffee) is pronounced as it's spelled. Göteborg is pronounced Jöteborj, and the island of Gotland are pronounced as it's spelled.

The max speed limit on a highway eg. "E20" is 120 km/h but general speed is 110 km/h. The general speed limit on general roads is 80 km/h and 100 km/h on roads with divider also called 1/2 road.

No ”glögg” is the drink that is more like Glühwein. Mould wine with spices like cinnamon and other Christmas like spices.
”Punsch” you mostly drink cold, and is sweeter and stronger. Traditionally with the dessert, or coffe, or with the yellow pea soup in the old days.

[GuinevereKnight]

Norway is expensive, yes. Some Swedes go there to make more money than at home. You are correct with the Ö. :) The south of Sweden can get snow, but you can't depend on it anymore, the more south you get. This year though there were lots, still is. Yes, it's actually reindeer, you can't sell reindeer meat and it's really cow meat. I don't eat meat anymore but I still remember it being really good, can't lie. It is close to gluhwein but not exactly the same, there is also lots of non alcoholic glögg in different flavours. If swedes are not drinking mostly they would not flirt and walk up to someone, they would have to know the person and "take an interest" in a more relaxed/friendly manner, not openly saying "I am interested in you", but if they drink alcohol, they do. 😜

[butterfliesandmoths]

Yes, you got "Malmö" right :)
That G (and K as SCH and SK as SCH) sometimes is pronounced as J has to do with soft and hard vocals and front and back vocals. (Gift ("Jift") = marriage, poison). Same thing goes for K sometimes being pronounced as SCH, as in Kilogram ("Schilo"). And SK pronounced as SCH as in Skiner ("Schiner" = Shines).

[monikakrell]

We get some snow in the south, not so mutch like in the north

[Joacim-A]

When it comes to the pronunciation of the letter G, in Swedish we have the concept of hard and soft vowels. The soft vowels are E, I, Y, Ä, and Ö, while the hard vowels are A, O, U, and Å. These vowels deterrent how the consonant that proceeds them should be pronounced så for example they said Götaland and you heard then huw the G was pronounced, they also said Gamla stan (the Old Town) and the G was pronounced differently. If you for example say the word Kyrka (Church) the K is pronounced like the Ch in English, while the word Kaffe (Coffee) the K is harder.

Jantelagen doesn’t exist as a personality trait. It’s a huge misunderstanding that has turned into to a ”truth”. Jantelagen isn’t even Swedish at all. The law of Jante was actually invented by a Danish-Norvegian author, Aksel Sandemose in his novel . It has nothing to do with ”bragging” or standing out in your society among your equals. Jantelagen alludes to the little citizen against the authorities like governments, everywhere where the power govern a population. What Sandemose points out is the surpressed citizen where it is the powerhungry authorities ruling out ”don’t think you are someone special”. The idea of Jantelagen origins from his perception of the ruling authorities in his hometown Nykøbing in Denmark. He is stating the Jantelag rules in his critical novel ”En flykting korsar sitt spår”. It has absolutely nothing to do with Scandinavians among their fellow likes in the society.

Living in Norway is pretty mch the same as living in Sweden.
You make 3 times more money but everything is also 3 times more expensive so, you get pretty much the same quality of life for the same type of job.
If you live in sweden and work in Norway tho... thats pretty damn nice.

[stiglarsson]

In anyway, swedish and other Norse languages have its origin around the south of baltic sea, they even think that we spoke the same language! Its now refered as Low german and/or Norse!
However it was the Angels, Saxons, Jutes and Frisians tribes that tought Britts to speak English!

[Flokarl]

I like your reactions! Of course since you are from Germany, the difference isnt that big as if you were from the US

(swedish) my 7th birthday it was too hot to have a t-shirt on. My 8th birthday it was 3dm snow.

[ptotheetother]

Norway is really expensive. The oil has caused a slight inflation :D
